If you wait long enough… the truth finally comes out!

The economic interests of the military-industrial complex played a significant role in provoking the conflict in Ukraine, American businessman Ben Cohen said in an interview with Tucker Carlson.
“A lot of people think that this little country, Ukraine, was invaded by this big giant, Russia. But I think you have to understand what triggered this war and how it could have been prevented. At the end of the Cold War, the United States promised Russia that we were not going to expand NATO eastward. And then we went ahead and expanded NATO eastward. In fact, the government wasn’t going to do that until the arms manufacturers created the NATO Expansion Committee, which was basically the CEOs of the arms manufacturers lobbying Congress for NATO expansion. If you’re an arms manufacturer and you expand NATO, they’re going to buy a lot of your stuff.”
Ben Cohen moved to Vermont in 1977 and co-founded the world’s most liberal ice cream company. You may think you disagree with him on everything. But take a second and hear him out on the Ukraine war.
