Thank you Bernie for acknowledging both aspects of the situation: 1) Ukraine's sovereignty must be respected. 2) Putin is a corrupt power-hungry dictator, but Russia does have legitimate cause for concern if Ukraine joins NATO (very apt comparison to the Cuban missile crisis).

For people to understand why all this is happening they need to know few facts, purposely omitted by the West, US and the mass media: 1) Ukraine was created as a country during the establishment of USSR and it was Lenin’s idea in the 20s of the last century, to add Donbass (historically very Russian territory) to the Soviet Republic of Ukraine; 2) Crimea was “gifted” to the Soviet Republic of Ukraine in 1954 by the communist leader Hrustchov and cut from the Soviet Republic of Russia. Back then this really didn’t matter so much as it was all one big country - USSR; 3) After the collapse of USSR many things were not thought trough by the new leaders and this included the status of Crimea which has always been a special status within Ukraine; 4) The coup in Kiev in 2014 was supported by US. The US Administration representatives, the US Embassy actively participated in the protests, giving speeches to the protesters and cookies :-); 5) The president than Yanukovich signed agreement with the opposition, predominantly represented by the ultra right neo Nazis. US was there as monitor :) Yanukovich agreed to step down and have new elections. The bloody protests started a day after this. 6) Yanukovich is portrayed in the West as pro-Russian or Russian installed puppet. He was actually very pro-EU and the West but wanted to keep good relations with Russia too. The whole issue started when he put on hold negotiations with IMF and European countries. IMF was insisting on terms and conditions that will economically hurt the ordinary people in Ukraine and make lots of prices skyrocketing. IMF was insisting Ukraine raises the price of the gas received from Russia to add to other thing - the list is not short; 6) The self proclaimed new government who staged the armed coup started tough measures against all Russian speaking citizens in Ukraine and staged massive anti-Russian policy; 7) In Odessa 40 Russian speaking Ukrainians were burnt by the ultra right fans by locking them in the Trade Building and setting fire with Molotov cocktails and shooting at them when they were trying to escape from the building. There is no real justice till date and the killers are enjoying their freedom; 8) People of Crimea knew they are next and held a referendum to get out of Ukraine; 9) Many people in Donbas were protesting peacefully against the self-proclaimed government of the ultra right neo Nazis and these people wanted new elections, saying they didn’t vote for this government. That was all they were asking for - new elections. 10)The new Kiev regime sent the military to Donbas and that’s how the situation escalated. Lugansk and Donetsk announced their independence as they don’t want to be part of a country that sends its military against its own people. 10)Till date the Ukrainian army has not really complied with the cease fire agreed with the Minsk agreement and for 7-8 years Kiev continued to shell Donbas region; 11)The Kiev regime put an economic blockade on Donbas in terms of supplies, pensions and salaries not paid to people, constant stoping of water and electricity as punishment… It was only Russia that sent humanitarian aid to Donbas. Nobody else cared about the millions of people there; 12)All the West has been telling people is that Russia must comply with the Minsk agreement BUT they didn’t really explain what the agreement is about. Russia’s part is the very last step once all other steps are achieved and complied with by Kiev. Only than Russia is required to close the boarder and give the Ukrainian government full control of that border. 13)Kiev did nothing. They did not engage in negotiations with Donbas as agreed in Minsk. Zelensky got elected promising peace in Donbas and deescalation of the conflict and did exactly the opposite.

Because he's an honest man that can see and clearly tell the truth.

Thank you Senator Sanders for being ~ We grieve you are not President in these horrific times in which we are suffering to survive ~ No more War ~ We marched since Viet Nam with Dr. King ~ Peace Love Light
@@danielvertino8126 The DNC made it clear in 2016 and 2020 that there was NO way they would allow Bernie to ever be president. The reason he enforced HRC and Biden is because Trump had to go before he destroyed our democracy.
Thank you Bernie! His views on the necessity of diplomacy reminds me of a line from the British Comedy, "Yes, Prime Minister,": “Diplomacy is about surviving until the next century - politics is about surviving until Friday afternoon."
Great respect to you, Sir! Very rarely I see so bright minds in people of US. I wish you were the president of USA, whole world would benefit from wisdom which you definitely have. Thank you!
Wise people pursue peaceful path to solve their problems, but unwise people pursue war path to solve their problems war isn't an expression of strength but of weakness. Nobody wins in a war they all lose.
Some of the richest capitalis get richer. The big oil giants, (military is also the biggest user of oil by far) the corporations supplying eg weapons, tanks, warplanes, ships, , satellites, uniforms and thousands of other commodities. Those who rebuild the ruined countries. Most of the countries USA has destroyed have been socialist countries. Cold war tactics. Which led to the war on terror. Basically countries that do not serve Western corporate capitalist interests. However, as humans, I believe you are still correct Everybody is a loser in war. Billionaires don't need more billions, but everybody with any sense wants peace.
@@ZiggyMercury WW2 could have been prevented. Virtually everybody knows WW1 was a needless war. Germany as the loser was forced to pay Britain and its allies the cost of going to war against it. That caused hyperinflation and crashed the economy. Hitler and the Nazis saw their opportunity. They used the German workers socialist party as their platform. Adolf Hitler became leader of that party in 1921 and convinced the people he could resolve their problems. He got into power in 1934. In extreme situations people vote for extremists. He got into power in It is all very well for politicians to corrageously risk other people's lives, but it is not them who are getting hurt.
@@benangel3268 Yes, had it not been for the mistake of Versaille Hitler and Nazism may have been curbed, but we are not in a position analogous to the late 1910s and early 1920s, but rather to the late 1930s. Hitler/Putin are already in power and are initiating wars. In 1938 the West thought that by giving Hitler parts of Czechoslovakia (which he, like Putin, claimed basically belonged to Germany) it can prevent war. Instead, it only instilled in Hitler the notion that he can do whatever he wants to smaller/weaker nations and no one would bother stopping him. Another German leader, Otto von Bismarck, said that "politics is the art of the possible". With respect to the current state around Ukraine, the question isn't whether lives would be put at risk, but whose lives, how many lives and for how long. It is my firm opinion that any capitulation to a strongman fascist like Putin would mean that while in the very short term less lives would be lost, in the slightly longer term a much higher number of lives would be lost.
@@ZiggyMercury I think you might find that USA and it's allies are worse warmongers than either Putin or China. Russia donated the Dumbass region to Ukraine to persuade it to be part of the Soviet Union. In 2014 USA and allies backed a coup to overthrow a Labour and Social Democratic alliance. Hardly fanatical parties. It is hardly surprising that the majority would vote for these. Since the collapse of USSR the majority of working people have suffered tremendous poverty. The party in charge has has Neo Nazi members who are killing the Russian speaking people. Therefore Putin and his government have an affinity with them. USA had also made a promise to Russia that NATO would never expand to it's border. As The West considers it to be an enemy. That promise has been broken. I know that might seem one sided, but a side that doesn't seem to be reported on Western main stream media
Thank you, Senator Sanders. In genuinely seeking peace, people must learn not to ignore even the perspectives of the adversary--they always have their concerns which must not just be swept under the carpet no matter how tiny their voices may be. Putin is wrong and must be called out. And yet, I do not see any world leader in the shoes of Putin, acting differently.
Hope Biden will take advice from Bernie. However, it’s a bit disappointing that Even Bernie can’t talk about foreign leaders without labeling and contempt, like we were better than others . This kind of American attitude on world stage is very problematic! No more wars! US has committed enough war crimes and interferences around the world!
As a U.S. Army Veteran, I say bravo to Senator Sanders for sounding the alarm regarding how fragile this situation is politically and militarily without abandoning the people of Ukraine, or defending Vladimir Putin's aggression towards Ukraine. Yes, hit Putin and his cronies with the toughest possible sanctions if Putin enters Ukraine, do not punish the Russian, Ukrainian and European populations for a situation not in their control, or start another world war.
But the goal is to cut Europe from Russian energy supply so that American energy industry can profit. Besides, if the military industry can sell a few more weapons that's better.
@@danielvertino8126 The greatest divide ever caused by any president in modern times was the divide created by none other than the populist madman, Trump. And the divide yawns because he won't keep his vociferous mouth shut.
The solution to end this war, Russia and Ukraine must sign a treaty Ukraine not to join NATO or allow them to use their country for military defensive staging against Russia in exchange to withdraw and Never invade the Ukraine! This is what this war is about!
Ukraine signed an agreement in the 90's to give up their nuclear weapons in exchange for a guarantee of sovereignty and territorial safety Russia was one of the parties involved. Moral of the story: No, the solution is NOT for Ukraine to give up their defenses.
@@clocked0 Russia never attacked Ukraine until USA invited Ukraine to join nato. Joining nato means Russia will be kicked out of their naval base in Crimea. That's what informed Russia annexing Ukraine. Nato holding a military exhibition in Ukraine last year was the last straw for vlad. He's very much justified to defend his ground. America should review its policy of flexing muscle allover the world
@@osobajay Ukraine said outright they had no interest in joining NATO.. And then Russia annexed Crimea. Funny how Russian aggression tends to shift perspectives towards joining alliances designed to combat Russian aggression.
Bernie is a fighter man. He gives me the motivation to feel like the fight is not in vain. There are decent and intelligible people left….ones with compassion and understanding. Keep going Bernie living legend
Bernie you are a national treasure and you alone in politics have made me proud to be American when there is so little to be proud of in my generation.
Bernie Sanders is brilliant as usual. Time fore him to start a new political party for his race as president which I will support whole hardheartedly. A party which will bring the resetting of our moral compass to true north and the industrial rebirth of our country.
Woow. It sounds surreal to hear sensical spot-on comments from American politicians. Bernie always manages to be in the right side of history when it matters.
I love Bernie Sanders! He’s such a consequence person with high values! He doesn’t have any interest with the military industrial complex. I can’t agree more with every single word he has said.
As a far right member of the constitution party, I completely agree with Bernie Sanders. Our party was formed when republicans broke off from the republican party when George Bush Senior enabled the military industrial complex to profit off of foreign oil. I am on board. Sign me up for Bernie Sanders on this. I disagree with much of his other opinions. But this I will advocate and agree to.
Agression from who? It's not Russia who just weaponized who Ukraine and push them into war, it was't Russia who send their troops into Ukraine and then run like cowards when Russians start operation... so yeah, Russia is only defending their postions in this case, it's might be brutal to understand but that how it is
Ive had the chance to vote in 2 different presidential elections and I didnt like either candidate either time. But if you get the nomination i will vote

This was an agreement signed by the US, UK & Russia,along with others, that stated that if Ukraine gave up its sizable nuclear arsenal, the borders of Ukraine would be recognized as permanent and inviolable
How about USA firstly not invade other countries (Iraq, Syria, Libya, Kore,a, Vietnam, Yugoslavia and many many more and not recognize rebel country they like eg. Kosovo and to obey International law
Peace be with you! The list goes on: the brutal Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956, along with the 1968 invasion of Chechoslovakia, and the more recent Russian invasion of the Republic of Georgia...The 20th century has had glimpses of what world peace could look like from the ill fated League of Nations , to the World Court in Hague and the United Nations If we do not learn from the past, we are condemned to repeat it. We never thought we would see a replay of the German blitzkrieg into Poland, yet we are perilously close to it in the Russian political/ military scheme in which their leader openly declares Ukraine should not exist....
What make's us admire and believe in whatever Bernie say's? It's his unselfish honesty, truthfulness and humanitarian principles that affect our hearts because honesty, compassion, truthfulness, justice and humanitarian principles and feelings speak to our souls, it is the basic nature of human beings that sometime's get's lost in corruption and greed.
Now this is the only American politician who talks with perspective and sense of history. Zelensky was inexperienced and allowed the US and NATO to push him into challenging Russia....The US and NATO escalated this situation by not recognizing the genuine security concerns of the Russians even when the Russians explored all manners of diplomacy.
When you have strong USA and strong Russia. The world is balanced.other countries should choose wisely were to take side."Sumary of the Manroe doctorine"
As usual Bernie hammers the point home. He doesn't excuse Russian aggression but he is not pretending Washington hasn't done everything it can to egg on the situation. Only honest compromise through diplomacy can resolve the issue.
I wonder, what is his position now, a month later. The idea that Putin could be dissuaded through diplomacy baffled me to begin with, as it had never worked in the past (certainly not in the previous two invasion, in 2008 in Georgia and in 2014 in Crimea.

The fact leftist take your comment seriously is the reason I’m becoming more of a leftist imperialist. You guys don’t care about people but being against America. Well why just drop the whole act and just become imperialist.
Not a fan of Bernie’s economics policy but his argument here is very honest, clear and comprehensive which really addresses root causes. Good job Bernie 👍
You're not a fan of his Economic Policy but I bet you wish you voted for him now. Perhaps he would have averted some of this death and bloodshed. Because he's an honest man that can see and clearly tell the truth. Americans always say they're lucky, should count their blessing and say they are better off than other nations that they see being destroyed on the news but it's because of America why some of these nations are being ruined.
@@TheVernonENT I would have voted for Bernie over Biden 100 times no doubt, but my first choice was Trump :-) Biden might drag US into War with his stupid NATO policies. I also agree with you 100% everybody says Putin is BAD, OK, we got it, but US with stupid policies set the stage for death and destruction. Biden Talked to Finland president today to bring him to NATO, how stupid someone can be?
@@Arashyou18 Agreed! Biden and his NATO policies are not smart. And I would vote Trump over Biden any day as well. And the media is truly a dishonest /cheery picking source of misinformation. I mean look at how they keep avoiding the fact that America has done this to many other countries around the world. And it's only when Russia wants to do the same thing that the media, America NATO all want to point the finger at Russia. It's a bunch of hypocrisies.
@@TheVernonENT You mean the United State Of America. The U.S is not the whole Continent.and I do agree with you. The America stuff leave it to the to full of yourself American and ignorant one.
If you're not a fan of his economics policies it just means you don't understand economics policies. He has presented factually many times why his plans WOULD work better than the current systems in place on pretty much every level. Everything Bernie wanted to do is already in place in most of Europe and it is provably better. You don't have a different opinion you're just wrong
Never heard of Senator Sanders before from outside our propaganda, but now I think I'm to become a fan of his.
He's a good guy also has nice warm gloves 🧤 and a warm ♥️
It gives me hope for America to hear Senator Sanders speaking sense.
Something which appears to be in short supply in America in recent Times.

Thank you Senator Sanders for being ~ We grieve you are not President in these horrific times in which we are suffering to survive ~ No more War ~ We marched since Viet Nam with Dr. King ~ Peace Love Light
He dropped out of his campaign when he was leading in the polls before the Wisconsin primary, then he endorsed Biden.
@@danielvertino8126 The DNC made it clear in 2016 and 2020 that there was NO way they would allow Bernie to ever be president. The reason he enforced HRC and Biden is because Trump had to go before he destroyed our democracy.
I don't trust Bernie Sanders at all anymore.
This is the only voice of reason I have heard from any politician in USA since this debacle began. War is not needed, not now not ever.
To think i live in a world where i'm agreeing with Bernie for once...
Too late buddy. Where was you head at .. he was fighting for people last 40+ years.
Thank you Bernie! His views on the necessity of diplomacy reminds me of a line from the British Comedy, "Yes, Prime Minister,": “Diplomacy is about surviving until the next century - politics is about surviving until Friday afternoon."
Thanks 🙏 Bernie Sanders Keep fighting for justice and equality
Great respect to you, Sir! Very rarely I see so bright minds in people of US. I wish you were the president of USA, whole world would benefit from wisdom which you definitely have. Thank you!
Wise people pursue peaceful path to solve their problems, but unwise people pursue war path to solve their problems war isn't an expression of strength but of weakness. Nobody wins in a war they all lose.
Some of the richest capitalis get richer. The big oil giants, (military is also the biggest user of oil by far) the corporations supplying eg weapons, tanks, warplanes, ships, , satellites, uniforms and thousands of other commodities. Those who rebuild the ruined countries.
Most of the countries USA has destroyed have been socialist countries. Cold war tactics. Which led to the war on terror. Basically countries that do not serve Western corporate capitalist interests.
However, as humans, I believe you are still correct Everybody is a loser in war. Billionaires don't need more billions, but everybody with any sense wants peace.
Well, apparently Neville Chamberlain was right, then. And shame on Churchill for insisting to fight the Nazis and save the world!
@@ZiggyMercury
WW2 could have been prevented.
Virtually everybody knows WW1 was a needless war.
Germany as the loser was forced to pay Britain and its allies the cost of going to war against it.
That caused hyperinflation and crashed the economy.
Hitler and the Nazis saw their opportunity.
They used the German workers socialist party as their platform. Adolf Hitler became leader of that party in 1921 and convinced the people he could resolve their problems. He got into power in 1934.
In extreme situations people vote for extremists. He got into power in
It is all very well for politicians to corrageously risk other people's lives, but it is not them who are getting hurt.
@@benangel3268 Yes, had it not been for the mistake of Versaille Hitler and Nazism may have been curbed, but we are not in a position analogous to the late 1910s and early 1920s, but rather to the late 1930s. Hitler/Putin are already in power and are initiating wars. In 1938 the West thought that by giving Hitler parts of Czechoslovakia (which he, like Putin, claimed basically belonged to Germany) it can prevent war. Instead, it only instilled in Hitler the notion that he can do whatever he wants to smaller/weaker nations and no one would bother stopping him.
Another German leader, Otto von Bismarck, said that "politics is the art of the possible". With respect to the current state around Ukraine, the question isn't whether lives would be put at risk, but whose lives, how many lives and for how long. It is my firm opinion that any capitulation to a strongman fascist like Putin would mean that while in the very short term less lives would be lost, in the slightly longer term a much higher number of lives would be lost.
@@ZiggyMercury
I think you might find that USA and it's allies are worse warmongers than either Putin or China.
Russia donated the Dumbass region to Ukraine to persuade it to be part of the Soviet Union.
In 2014 USA and allies backed a coup to overthrow a Labour and Social Democratic alliance. Hardly fanatical parties. It is hardly surprising that the majority would vote for these. Since the collapse of USSR the majority of working people have suffered tremendous poverty.
The party in charge has has Neo Nazi members who are killing the Russian speaking people. Therefore Putin and his government have an affinity with them.
USA had also made a promise to Russia that NATO would never expand to it's border. As The West considers it to be an enemy. That promise has been broken.
I know that might seem one sided, but a side that doesn't seem to be reported on Western main stream media
Watching from Canada. This should have been your president.
Thank you, Senator Sanders. In genuinely seeking peace, people must learn not to ignore even the perspectives of the adversary--they always have their concerns which must not just be swept under the carpet no matter how tiny their voices may be. Putin is wrong and must be called out. And yet, I do not see any world leader in the shoes of Putin, acting differently.
Brilliant analysis and foresight by an honest US legislator.
👍👍
I wish Bernie would have become president, this a clear view and position of what is going on
Hope Biden will take advice from Bernie. However, it’s a bit disappointing that Even Bernie can’t talk about foreign leaders without labeling and contempt, like we were better than others . This kind of American attitude on world stage is very problematic! No more wars! US has committed enough war crimes and interferences around the world!
☝🏼this
As a U.S. Army Veteran, I say bravo to Senator Sanders for sounding the alarm regarding how fragile this situation is politically and militarily without abandoning the people of Ukraine, or defending Vladimir Putin's aggression towards Ukraine. Yes, hit Putin and his cronies with the toughest possible sanctions if Putin enters Ukraine, do not punish the Russian, Ukrainian and European populations for a situation not in their control, or start another world war.
When did biden say that he will deploy us troops on the ground?
All he is doing is sanctions and selling weapons to Ukraine.
@@austinp.5024 Russian invaded Ukraine in 2014, so yep no aggression at all. Good talk.
But the goal is to cut Europe from Russian energy supply so that American energy industry can profit. Besides, if the military industry can sell a few more weapons that's better.
Thank you Bernie. 100% Facts
Impressed to hear someone talk sense to the rest of the world and Washington. Thanks and keep going.
Wish you a long life and a stronger voice Bernie! America and the world need you.
I saw that live. Thank you, Bernie!
Thank God for history. Well done Senator. May your years be long 🙏
He spoke with so much wisdom, not the usual lies of many politicians, wished the war never happened
Watching from China. This should have been your president.
Nobel price for this wonderful MAN
The real president of the people spoke Truth! If only the warmongers would have been decent humans and listen to The Truth.
A beacon of light in a world of hopelessness. How do you do this bernie? How?
With all of the other beacons of light ..that see the changes that need to be done . !!

@@danielvertino8126 Are you seeking to widen division by any chance?
@@Dylanesque the Democratic Party does a great job of that.

The solution to end this war, Russia and Ukraine must sign a treaty Ukraine not to join NATO or allow them to use their country for military defensive staging against Russia in exchange to withdraw and Never invade the Ukraine! This is what this war is about!
Ukraine signed an agreement in the 90's to give up their nuclear weapons in exchange for a guarantee of sovereignty and territorial safety
Russia was one of the parties involved.
Moral of the story: No, the solution is NOT for Ukraine to give up their defenses.
@@clocked0 Russia never attacked Ukraine until USA invited Ukraine to join nato. Joining nato means Russia will be kicked out of their naval base in Crimea. That's what informed Russia annexing Ukraine. Nato holding a military exhibition in Ukraine last year was the last straw for vlad. He's very much justified to defend his ground. America should review its policy of flexing muscle allover the world
@@osobajay Ukraine said outright they had no interest in joining NATO.. And then Russia annexed Crimea.
Funny how Russian aggression tends to shift perspectives towards joining alliances designed to combat Russian aggression.
Ivan, we know you’re here on the order of Kremlin, you can go fuck yourself
Cannot agree more... you are such a voice of justice...blessings and health to you
This remind me what president of the United States should be like
Bernie is a fighter man. He gives me the motivation to feel like the fight is not in vain. There are decent and intelligible people left….ones with compassion and understanding. Keep going Bernie living legend
This man 👨🏾 is too straight for the United State 🇺🇸 love ❤️ him so, he’s the only politician I listen and he’s ahead of time
Bernie you are a national treasure and you alone in politics have made me proud to be American when there is so little to be proud of in my generation.
Proud of the country that sensors this man and keeps him down? His own party tried to f him for Hillary. America is a shame.
I have been following you closely. You are a wise man Senator. We need more man like you
Finally someone acknowledges US role in this mess. We need honest people like Bernie!!
Truth said... this is the most intelligent words I’ve ever heard concerning this matter
Bernie Sanders is brilliant as usual. Time fore him to start a new political party for his race as president which I will support whole hardheartedly. A party which will bring the resetting of our moral compass to true north and the industrial rebirth of our country.
Thank you Mr. Sanders (from France 🇫🇷)
Bravo Bernie! You said it very very well, NATO played a huge role to this conflict..
Bernie Sanders. The greatest American president who never was.
The most honest and appropriately detailed viewpoint I have heard on the matter - and coming from a U.S. politician. Very impressive actually!
Woow. It sounds surreal to hear sensical spot-on comments from American politicians.
Bernie always manages to be in the right side of history when it matters.
Then again his previous video says the opposite, so I digress.
Bernie Always Puts Others First!
I love Bernie Sanders! He’s such a consequence person with high values! He doesn’t have any interest with the military industrial complex. I can’t agree more with every single word he has said.
As a far right member of the constitution party, I completely agree with Bernie Sanders. Our party was formed when republicans broke off from the republican party when George Bush Senior enabled the military industrial complex to profit off of foreign oil. I am on board. Sign me up for Bernie Sanders on this. I disagree with much of his other opinions. But this I will advocate and agree to.
You have my deep respect Mr. Sanders
You should have been the president of United States. The world would have been much better place for everyone
Do what you have to do to protect Ukraine. We will stand with them now and forever. We need to help the refugees also. NOW.
Right again, Bernie! 👍
Compassion is very important. Let’s put ourselves in other peoples’ shoes. It’s not like Russia is so evil and Ukraine is so innocent.
Only Bernie helps me feel better about this difficult period.
Thank you Senator for telling the truth.
With the aggression of Russia, I would not let my guard down. As for boarder countries, I hope they know what they are doing.
Agression from who? It's not Russia who just weaponized who Ukraine and push them into war, it was't Russia who send their troops into Ukraine and then run like cowards when Russians start operation... so yeah, Russia is only defending their postions in this case, it's might be brutal to understand but that how it is

Its as he is speaking our minds and truth. Its the most sane, sincere,down to earth speech i have heard from a politician. Its a shame he isnt the American president.

@deagleninja WTF are you talking about?? Steeling? Leave that pipe alone dude..
Thank you! Senator Bernie Sanders for being the adult in US establishment.
How about Ukraine becoming a sovereign nation, neutral, as in the Austrian State Treaty 1955, and free to trade with whomever it pleases.
How about the signatory countries to the Budapest Memorandum keeping their word?
@@bohdandejneka1943Which is what? Is it relevant to the OPs statement?
This was an agreement signed by the US, UK & Russia,along with others, that stated that if Ukraine gave up its sizable nuclear arsenal, the borders of Ukraine would be recognized as permanent and inviolable
How about USA firstly not invade other countries (Iraq, Syria, Libya, Kore,a, Vietnam, Yugoslavia and many many more and not recognize rebel country they like eg. Kosovo and to obey International law
Peace be with you! The list goes on: the brutal Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956, along with the 1968 invasion of Chechoslovakia, and the more recent Russian invasion of the Republic of Georgia...The 20th century has had glimpses of what world peace could look like from the ill fated League of Nations , to the World Court in Hague and the United Nations If we do not learn from the past, we are condemned to repeat it. We never thought we would see a replay of the German blitzkrieg into Poland, yet we are perilously close to it in the Russian political/ military scheme in which their leader openly declares Ukraine should not exist....
Bernie is really the greatest politician. He is honest with facts that we all see. Not like the other politicians who lies between their teeth.
What make's us admire and believe in whatever Bernie say's? It's his unselfish honesty, truthfulness and humanitarian principles that affect our hearts because honesty, compassion, truthfulness, justice and humanitarian principles and feelings speak to our souls, it is the basic nature of human beings that sometime's get's lost in corruption and greed.
In 2024 these words are ever more profound.
Always Right Always Ignored only to be echoed 20 years later by the clowns of both Democrats and Republicans.
Now this is the only American politician who talks with perspective and sense of history. Zelensky was inexperienced and allowed the US and NATO to push him into challenging Russia....The US and NATO escalated this situation by not recognizing the genuine security concerns of the Russians even when the Russians explored all manners of diplomacy.
Wow, a wise US Senator.
The only one with wisdom to match his years
When you have strong USA and strong Russia. The world is balanced.other countries should choose wisely were to take side."Sumary of the Manroe doctorine"
thank you sir
you clarify exactly what is happening on both of our side...
thank you again;
man can be described by his attitude...
As usual Bernie hammers the point home. He doesn't excuse Russian aggression but he is not pretending Washington hasn't done everything it can to egg on the situation. Only honest compromise through diplomacy can resolve the issue.
the breach of the Yalta Agreement by NATO/UK/US begins with the Balkan wars

I wonder, what is his position now, a month later. The idea that Putin could be dissuaded through diplomacy baffled me to begin with, as it had never worked in the past (certainly not in the previous two invasion, in 2008 in Georgia and in 2014 in Crimea. Now, what should be done, according to Senator Sanders?
