NATO Expansion Didn’t Cause War in Ukraine, Austin Says
I respectfully disagree with your point that. The expansion of Natal caused the Ukraine crisis. The Ukraine crisis will. Ukraine crisis obviously was caused because. Mr. Putin made a decision to unlawfully invade his neighbour. Who had an inferior military. At that point in time. He assumed that he could very quickly roll over his neighbor and annex the country. That was two plus years ago. He has not achieved any of his strategic objectives to this point. But this was brought on because of a decision made by Mr. Putin. As to whether or not we’re trying to create a naito in the Indo-Pacific. I would tell you that what we’re doing. Is what I said earlier in the speech. Countries. Of like minded countries with similar values in a and a a a common vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific. Are working together to achieve that vision. And. We’ve strengthened relationships with our allies and partners, and we see other countries strengthen, strengthening their relationship with each other in the region. This is good news. But it’s because they have a common vision. And common values. And we will continue to do those kind of things going forward.
Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin disagreed with a Chinese military academic who said the expansion of NATO triggered the war in Ukraine, saying the blame lies with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Austin says Putin has not achieved any of his strategic objectives in Ukraine. Austin speaks at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore.

So what was the cause?
Revux is on my radar – the best ICO opportunity I've seen in a while!
Got an inside scoop on Revux – this project has major potential!
coming from a guy that doesnt have sense enough to inform his boss he will be in a hospital for some time, pitiful incompetence
Bullshit
NATO expanstion is the cause of this war. You are lying! All you have done is lie, becusee you say what the evil regime with puppet Biden is telling you to say!
But people know the truth!
No wonder your prostate didn’t hold up, you bend over to those in charge daily.
Yeah sure it didn’t. Just like I’m sure Victoria Newland wasn’t involved either.
what a speech. seriously ?The whole Ukraine is destroyed now. The Ukrainian people become refugees all over the world. Even now Ukraine can save itself making peace deal with Russia and staying NEUTRAL.
It absolutely did. Putin said it did. Do they really think we r that stoopid
I see the usual Russian trash vomiting on this thread.
What caused the invasion was the invasion. Got it.
The man only works for the military industrial complex not America.
and this colorful moron is reading script given to him by his handlers ROFLOL
Ukraine adopted 21 feb 2019 course to join NATO in it's CONSTUTION !!!!
I served from 2000 -2010, operating in exercises with NATO allies. The sad truth is that there are many honorable people in uniform, but we are led by politicians obsessed with regime change and generals/former generals with ties to weapons manufactures , like Austin, who have compromised themselves.
Trying to form a gang of 'like minded nations' in Asia will be the next cause of a war in Asia.
😂😂 Then who caused it? You were warned to stay away but you continue pushing till the Russian federation decided enough is enough for the mother land security. You are just a puppet, we aren't falling for you lie's anymore, justice will be served. Russia Will regain it's lost Glory, that's fact but you don't want to accept it, but you surly will. Russia Will win this war 🔥 Shame on Joe Biden administration for Putting the American's welfare and security at higher risk and the globe as a whole. You don't want this war to stop but it will after, but till then how many lives are you guys going to keep destroying for your selfish interests and resource benefits. Home much????????🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He is 1000000% CORRECT!!! — On February 24, 2022 Putin's Russian forces invaded the INDEPENDENT & SOUVEREIGN NATION of Ukraine. Period. It had nothing to do with NATO and/or some false expansion, which was a lie & excuse used by Putin at that time but by now it's clearly been proven and admitted that he had planned the invasion and takeover of Ukraine almost twenty years earlier. The initial invasion of Ukraine began in fact in 2014 through the illegal occupation of Ukraine's Crimean territory — Finally, it's important to understand that several former Soviet satellite states that had been occupied by the Soviet Union after WW2, IMMEDIATELY sought membership into NATO literally the day after Soviet collapsed.. NATO had not pursued or offered memberships to ANY of those states
So sad! NATO members kill time speaking nonsense while Russia is erasing, burning every square of land, leveling every building, burning every plant, turning into dusts everything in Ukraine. Never in human history has such a barbarity happened. Next will be US, UK, Germany, France, Japan….
The country of no credibility trying to convince the world our NATO expansion wasn't design to invade Russia when anyone paying attenti ok no knkws exactly how fixated the NWO is invading Russia
Anyone who wants to prevent wW3 needs to stand against rhede psychos
Uncle Tom is a liar and a imbecile.
Bull crap big boy! Nato was coming to Ukraine so Russian strikes before it happened. In addition, why is there a need to point all those weapons bordered to Russia? It only causes friction but if you think Putin is going to back down you will be surprised in addition to putting all of us in the middle of your dumb drama!
It is tye expansion of nato,
Rubbish
