9/11/24 to Kamila Harris - Debate and Ukraine.  

I watched the debate last night.  I was stunned by your lack of knowledge about Ukraine.  You’re a lawyer, look at the evidence and facts.

Ukraine:  In 1990 the U.S. promised the Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not expand beyond Germany. (http://nsarchive.gwu.edu).  In 1999, NATO bombed Belgrade which gave rise to Kosovo and a new NATO base in the Balkans. In 2002, the U.S. unilaterally withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. In 2003, the U.S. and NATO allies repudiated the United Nations Security Council by going to war in Iraq on false pretenses. In 2004, the U.S. continued with NATO enlargement, with the addition of Bulgaria and Romania. In 2008 the U.S. pledged to expand NATO to Georgia and Ukraine. In 2011, the U.S. overthrew Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, an ally of Russia. In 2011, NATO bombed Libya in order to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi. In 2014, the U.S. conspired with Ukrainian nationalist forces to overthrow Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. In 2015, the U.S. began to place Aegis anti-ballistic missiles in Romania, a short distance from Russia. From 2016 to 2020, the U.S. supported Ukraine in undermining the Minsk II agreement, despite its unanimous backing by the UN Security Council. In 2021, the Biden administration refused to negotiate with Russia over the question of NATO enlargement to Ukraine. In April 2022, the U.S. called on Ukraine to withdraw from peace negotiations with Russia.   All of these actions were designed to undermine Russia and get them to retaliate. Russia told the U.S. many times that expanding NATO to Ukraine was an existential threat.   So, seeing an opportunity to have a proxy war with Russia, the U.S. announced Ukraine would join NATO.

You’re a lawyer, ask for evidence, look at facts!
