The strongest weapon against Russian aggression - the truth and public information. And the Ukrainian government should pass through a lot of information before making any statements.

In an interview with TSN said the former commander of NATO forces in Kosovo, US General Wesley Clark, retired.

"What I would recommend: Ukrainian government should be very well organized, pass through a very great deal of information before making any statements, actions must be well managed and coordinated. And again, the strongest weapon - the power of truth. Public information" - said Clark.

A former commander of NATO forces in Kosovo believes that the Russian people understand that the whole campaign of aggression against Ukraine comes from Vladimir Putin, and that without it, the Russians would not support it.

So Wesley Clark urges Ukrainians to explain to their Russian relatives what is actually happening in Ukraine.

"I would also encourage and ask Ukrainian who have relatives in Russia, talk about personal, have personal conversations, despite all the negative. Every day you have to explain what you see," - said Clark.

Yes.

But he is someone in a uniform that won’t poke fun at Obonghit. Unless they leave him in front of a microphone for a really long time.

“The strongest weapon against Russian aggression - the truth and public information”

Then the USA is completely useless and has no function whatsoever in this matter.

Truth is a thing that no longer exists in this country.

“In Lies We Trust” seems to be the motto of this country.

Ukraine was a founding state, along with Russia of the U.S.S.R. The U.S.S.R had a thing called the Warsaw Pact — a competitor of NATO.

The West broke both the Warsaw Pact and the U.S.S.R by bankrupting it with a long cold war of arms buildup.

Look how many Ex Warsaw Pact countries are now NATO members.

It’s obvious Russia isn’t going to let Ukraine enter NATO without a war over it. It’s the last kick of a the dying socialist republic.

Unless Poroshenko and the Verkovna Rada stop worrying about their Swiss bank accounts and get busy properly supporting their military there will be no independent Ukraine

Nato supreme commander General Wesley Clark is not being allowed to fade away quietly. Days after the Clinton administration relieved him of his command two months early, Newsweek is reporting that the victor of Kosovo was blocked from sending paratroopers to Pristina airport to pre-empt an unexpected Russian advance.

Lieutenant-general Sir Michael Jackson overruled General Clark because the British commander did not want to spark a clash with the Russians.

“I'm not going to start Third World War for you,” General Jackson told the US commander, according to Newsweek. In the hours that followed General Clark's order, both men sought political backing for their position, but only General Jackson received it.

Who would listen to anything Wesley Clark has to say....sheesh...he’s created far more situations then he’s ever helped...and low on facts when he tries.

Actually, I had thought by now that he would be a FORGOTTEN putz. But you never can get rid of these weaklings: they keep rising from the mire.
