wise man and kept ultimately saying that history will figure it out, which often wise men say. but he stood his ground, he really thought that, for example, the fall of the berlin wall in 89 when a lot of soviet socialist countries leaders, romania, they were still very socialist, they told him it needs to send tanks to berlin, otherwise they were so the military pact the warsaw pact, would be lost. he said he could not dictate what countries want to take on, they do not want to be with us, they do not want to be with us, they do not want to be with us, they do not want to be with us. the freedom of europe today, we absolutely owe it to gorbachev. he was an incredibly brave man in this and knew how may people would be against these actions. he thought it would not happen
and the russians and the kremlin is a little like article 5 of nato. it is a military pact, not just an economic pact. you have to think about this. as we look forward, if the separatists attempt to take more of ukraine, what will russia do, particularly if they then end up in a fight with the ukrainian army? so the question everyone now asking once again, what is president putin s plans? does he plan to use those forces ranged around the ukrainian border or is this enough for him for now and can he control the separatists? is he able to control a kinetic situation? finally, mika, is one of his ambitions, which appeared to be from his speech yesterday, to bring down the government in kyiv? if that s what he is trying to achieve, how does he plan to achieve it? all very ominous. keir, i invite you to stand by
