U.S. Diplomats rap about aggressive NATO expansion
and how it provoked the war in Ukraine (Part Two)

Using quotations from diplomats and Udio.com for the music, I created this rap-like song about the foolishness and hubris of NATO expansion. This is part two. Part one is here. Part three is here. See Senior U.S. diplomats, journalists, academics and Secretaries of Defense say: The U.S. provoked Russia in Ukraine for documentation about the quotations.

Henry Kissinger said, "We are at the edge of war with Russia and China
on issues which we partly created." Kissinger also said:
"To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal."

Former Ambassador Thomas Graham, who served under six U.S.
presidents and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations
wrote: "The US push in 2008 to bring Georgia and Ukraine into NATO
was ill-advised at best."

James W. Carden,  former adviser to the Department of State,
wrote: "The de facto alliance of Ukrainian westernizing liberals
and the fascist Ukrainian far-Right ... ignored their obligation
to respect the democratic process."

Fiona Hill warned George W. Bush: "Mr. Putin would view
steps to bring Ukraine and Georgia closer to NATO as a
provocative move that would likely provoke pre-emptive
Russian military action. But ultimately, our warnings weren't heeded.”

Alfred de Zayas, a former senior lawyer with the
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights wrote:
"The civilian population of the Donbas has endured continued
shelling from Ukrainian forces since 2014.

War hawk Robert Kagan wrote, "to insist that the invasion was
entirely unprovoked is misleading. "
Richard Sakwa, Professor at University of Kent wrote:
"The argument that the invasion was unprovoked is completely false."

George Beebe, former director of the CIA's Russia analysis
group and former advisor to Dick Cheney, wrote:
"NATO's eastward expansion exacerbated the threat of Russian
aggression that the alliance was originally intended to prevent."

Steven Pifer, former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine
wrote  in Russia Feels Threatened By NATO:
"There are some concerns on the Russian side that are legitimate."
