NATO Chief: Ukraine War “Started in 2014”
The NATO Secretary General keeps telling the truth.
On February 14, NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg admitted:
“The other thing I will say is that the war didn’t start in February last year. The war started in 2014. And since 2014, NATO Allies have provided support to Ukraine, with training, with equipment, so the Ukrainian Armed Forces were much stronger in 2022, than they were in 2020, and 2014. And of course, that made a huge difference when President Putin decided to attack Ukraine.”
This statement is, in a way, “saying the quiet part out loud”. In fact, it is what journalists in the US call a “gaffe” — i.e., when a politician accidentally tells the truth.
The Western elites know that the war started in 2014, in the wake of the US-backed Maidan Coup. They know that since 2014, the US and NATO had taken on a major role in arming, training and preparing Ukraine for war with Russia.
They know that the Minsk peace negotiations were simply a ploy to delay and “buy time” as Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande have both admitted.
Their bad faith negotiations were, as Stoltenberg says, “so the Ukrainian Armed Forces were much stronger in 2022, than they were in 2020, and 2014.”
