I listened to the whole thing. I heard him say, “Give us a no fly zone,” which satisfies a certain portion of Americans.
Then he said, “If you can’t do that, give us more weapons,” which satisfies a bunch more.
Then he said this, which is not being talked about in national channels that reach Americans:
We need to move on and do more. We need to create more tools to respond quickly and stop the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24. It would be fair if it ended in 24 hours, that people would be punished, that evil would be punished.
Today the people do not have such tools. Institutions should protect us from war but they unfortunately do not work. We need new alliances and we offer them. We propose to create an association, united for peace, a union of responsible countries to stop conflict immediately, provide all the necessary assistance in 24 hours, weapons if necessary, sanctions if necessary, humanitarian support, finances, everything you need to keep the peace and quickly to save the world, to save life.
Such associations would provide assistance to those who are experiencing natural disasters, who fell victim to humanitarian crisis or epidemics. Remember how difficult it was for the world to do the simplest things just to get a vaccine against covid to save lives, to prevent new strains. The world spent months, years doing things like that much faster to make sure there are no victims.
Ladies and gentlemen, if such an alliance would exist today we would be able to save thousands of lives in our country, in many countries around the world, those who need peace, those who suffer inhumane destruction. I ask you to watch one video. a video of what the Russian troops did in our country, in our land. We have to destroy every single aggressor who seeks to subjugate other nations. Please watch the video.
I think that is brilliant. Keep the corporate media looking for blood while you actively look for an out that could actually work. It’s like, “Okay, we won’t join NATO,” and that works and the bombing stops and NATO does some serious restructuring and rebranding, and then it’s like, “It’s not NATO we’re joining, it’s a whole new thing. This is what we fought for.”
