Jens Stoltenberg

And many political leaders simply don't want to be contradicted.

Others, I know the example of the then NATO Secretary Stoltenberg, his team, once a month, they would meet and discuss their assumptions.

They would say, let's check our assumptions about what's going to happen.

Are these still valid? I think this is an exercise that politicians probably generally should do, but especially when it comes to defense.

And I understand that this leader has a little bit different view of what we call the Russophobic group of NATO countries now.

So, as I've said before, these elections are going to take place over time, and maybe some of these countries, hopefully all of them, will get rid of the people like Ruta and Stoltenberg at NATO and others whom we actually worked for a decade to get elected in these various countries.

So as long as Europe, though, is holding out and as long as they are thinking the way they're thinking, then we still got the disaster regardless of what Trump does.

Now, if he were to put his foot down, really put his foot down, I don't know if Trump even knows how to do that.

So Putin was trying very hard to avoid a war and the United States made hardly any effort to avoid war.

And when Putin wrote this famous letter to Biden, and also to Jens Stoltenberg, who was the head of NATO at the time, on December 17th, 2021, this is a few months before the war breaks out, and Putin was proposing a security architecture, some way of avoiding war by coming to an understanding on what security should look like in the region, the Americans just brushed them off and said they had no interest in negotiating or even talking about his proposal.

So we did virtually nothing to avoid a war on February 24th, 2022.

It's really quite remarkable.

infantile to sit there and say over and over with so much enthusiasm and self-confidence that Russia is testing us, that they're trying to get us to bow down and we are not gonna bow down to anybody.

That harkens back to what Jens Stoltenberg, the previous NATO Secretary General said right before this war started.

You remember that? Where Putin was saying, hey, NATO cannot come into Ukraine.

It's gonna be war, he told him privately.

How can you, as a group, Doug, how can you keep on going down a path when Russia, on the other hand, is accelerating its offensive missile capacity?

Uh, Rutte, like Stoltenberg, is a very highly paid Washington puppet.

Uh, we pick the secretary generals.

They're handed a script, and they're expected to stick to the script.

Teaching them, teaching them, it, it wasn't difficult in some cases.

It wasn't difficult to teach Jens Stoltenberg or Mark Rutte.

But I gotta admit, it was probably in CIA contacts I have told me, it was kinda difficult to discuss these sorts of things early on, at least, with countries like Norway and Sweden and Finland, and yet look where we are now.

From Finland to France, we have insanity.

You convinced all these people to be idiots.

Because that's what we started in 2002, buying parliamentarians, buying newspaper editors, buying labor unions, buying Secretaries General Jens Stoltenberg and Mark Rutte.

We created this beast in Europe, and we destroyed Germany with Nord Stream takedown so that its economy would not be such a competitor for us.

Oh, and so they would buy our liquid natural gas, which costs more and is more polluting.
