We are constantly told how evil Vladimir Putin is and that he cannot be trusted. But then I see this 2013 interview with Piers Morgan, in which Bill Clinton stated that Putin had honoured all the agreements they had made, saying, "He kept his word on all the deals we had made"

"We gave categorical assurances to Gorbachev that if a United Germany could remain in NATO, NATO would not be moved Eastward" (Jack Matlock, US Ambassador to the Soviets 1987-1991 speaking 30 years ago)

That moment when John McCain in Kyiv in 2013, was openly boasting on CNN that the US delegation was there to "orchestrate" a regime change in Ukraine? He flaunted it, with Victoria Nuland at his side, actively manipulating the overthrow of the democratically elected President Yanukovych. No subtlety. No pretense. Just raw, brazen intervention.
