Retired Major General James "Spider" Marks breaks down Russia's possible invasion tactics into Ukraine and says Russian President Putin is using the tactics as a response to NATO's expansion to the east. #CNN #News
Ret. Maj. General James “Spider” Marks down possible invasion tactics of Russia.
I like this guys explanation…keep him on this show
@Sprezzatura No, they don’t want propaganda. Sure, Russia tells everyone that NATO agreed to not accept new members, but that is a lie. Name the treaty or agreement, where that promise was made. You can’t because it doesn’t exist. It is just one of the lies Putin tells so often, fools believe it.
@Sprezzatura Did I say I’m from Ukraine? Your opinion doesn’t matter if you think that Ukraine is the only country located in Eastern Europe.
@Deborah Freedman Oral agreements are also legally binding. That is an undeniably fact.
Of course it can get problematic if someone changes his mind to prove it. That’s the only difference. Former head of state of Germany Helmut Kohl promised Putin after the collapse of the German Democratic Republic in eastern Germany that NATO will not move a single inch to the east for example. It is not a lie.
@Deborah Freedman Here is former U.S. foreign minister under Bush – James Baker with German foreign minister Hans Dietrich Genscher (under Helmut Kohl) talking about having agreed that there will be no Nato expansion to the east.
I picked the exact timing (2 minutes 15 seconds) in which it is said. So there you have undeniable proof right there:

UPDATE:
Accurate information below, of troops, the 2014 invasion, what’s happening in the background and new objectives.
1. Donbas Region -Russia “putin” wants to annex this one next to continue the land bridge to Crimea because they never got to do this on their first assault due to Ukrainians fighting back. After pushing them back the so called rebels “LITTLE GREEN MEN – I DON’T KNOW WHO THEY ARE” putin said, Ukrainians started attacking Crimea and at the same time the Donbas region. The Ukrainians directed their attack mostly in the Donbas region due to being a industrial hub of the country.. they almost got it back but russia “putin” interfered and the same went to Crimea. It’s never about the invasion, NATO, or whatever reason(s) putin uses.. it’s outside of the picture and you need to understand this monster in a way you never done before. You don’t play the chess-board even when you’re a pawn! You play the game in order for you to be part of it but this does not mean your actually there playing it. You’re dealing with putin that keeps taking because you keep giving by losing.
2. russia wants to connect the Donbas region to Crimea “taking over all warm water ports that Ukraine has” all the way to Moldova. The thing about this is.. the main focus will be the Capital of Ukraine but the main target is The land bridge. But if russia “putin” see a window within the scopes of multi formation attack.. then Donbas will connect all the way to Poland/Baltic States to land-bridge kaliningrand “a Belarus gateway.”
3. putin isn’t stupid to invade the entire country “he can do this” but he won’t be able to hold it together for a very long time. That’s currently the information we got from my Russian military friends in “Mother Russia” aka Belarus, Donbas region, and Crimea.
4. U.K. Hacked and shut down. Ukraine hacked and shut down several days ago. Canada hacked and shut down earlier today. Who’s next!
5. Two Georgian states – Information not available.

Here’s the problem with your statement comrade. If U.S. was part of the USSR and it became like Ukraine “okay.” You have a lot of russians living in the U.S. So what you’re saying is putin thinks he cane invade it because the government think very different than his and that everyone in it or most of the people in U.S. are russian.. so putin wants to “MERGE” both country and he becomes dictator in both countries for life. Is this what you said here MF? because I think you need to fraking wake up. This is not 1945 and shi t, it’s actually 2022 in the 21st century.
AGAIN, THE PURPOSE OF THIS SHI T IS TO PREPARE FOR WAR IN THE FUTURE/ troops readiness and equipment staging are key principle for future conflict and at the same time.. looking at opportunities and vulnerabilities and how others would respond. And at the same time… look and read below:
After placing 198k troops on your border.. what do you expect huh? You have to learn to think magical my friend like fairies.
So putin doesn’t want Ukraine to join NATO but it wants it to join the Russian block. What the F? Well, F putin. UKRAINE FOR NATO/EU.
How can you give respect to the person who invaded his neighbor for his gain only? Don’t join NATO because I will put another Belarus dictator near you and you will join my alliance instead like that gas prices act in neighboring kazakhstan. MF is a made up hype to make things look real and for putin’s army to march with their chest up lol
And the Belarus event was to test the outcome of the invasion “PEOPLE” how Poland would respond, how much military can be prepared on that area when it’s happening, what’s the focus point and how it would be overwhelmed. These are in-placed to see the reaction on multiple location points in real time after the decision has been made.
NOTE:
Here’s the best part of this story!
putin INVADED Ukraine’s Crimea region because under that “OCEAN” there’s a very old and the biggest pyramid in the entire world under that ocean floor. Plus putin’s palace 2 is in Ukraine Crimea Peninsula. The so called “WARM WATER PORT” for it’s navies. Everything is starting to make sense now at least to me. This guy has specific objectives.. This is like playing chess but you have to not play it in order for you to win. So you let putin win by not letting him win. But what the “WEST” is doing.. preparing like chess, each time putin moves.. they counter that move! For me.. that’s not bad but if you look very closely.. you will understand all of these MFs objectives. Solution: Stop playing the guy’s game and actually get multiple things moving before he moves that PAWN AGAIN…
IT’S BETTER TO FIGHT AND DIE RATHER THAN BE A COWARD AND LET PUTIN JUST INVADE. WHAT ARE YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING?

……..
didn’t nato recognize kosovo as an independent state..??you cannot lead people who don’t want to be part of your country that’s why i support the move, let Lugansk and Donetsk be where they want to and let the war end just the same way nato did to Yugoslavia to solve the conflict back then
Except we don’t know if the people of Luhansk and Donetsk “want” independence from Ukraine. Every referendum that was held there was not even close to being legitimate. You don’t get to just up and take a chunk of a sovereign country, and call it yours.
Now this is some clear and sensible talk
Which is very rare for this pitiful channel

Thats why its called a distraction. To keep your eyes off the world buring around you.
Its kinda weird how the jab makers stocks are in the tank. They just had the best year of lifes and now something changed. Was it the science? We all know that is not the case because many doctors have predicted exactly where we are now since day 1.
Since Biden took office,we’ve started buying millions of barrels of oil a month from the Dumborat buddy Putin. 1.7 million barrels in November. Good job,Dumborats.
“He’s gonna be around for another twenty years, right?”
I felt that.
@SasquatchyCowboy oh you get on with your bad self. Russia is less protecting its security interests, and more attempting to restore global order to pre 1990 levels. Russia wants to restore the Soviet empire…and I’ll be damned if the world should simply acquiesce to them. Those days are gone. Long gone.
The US has not invaded a foreign country with designs on completely eliminating its sovereignty and forcibly absorbing it. For a foreign country to cross into a sovereign country’s territory, manufacture unrest, and then simply proclaim two new states is insanity and sets a dangerous precedent.
@SasquatchyCowboy “Then to door is wide open.” To what? You’re fucking paranoid, and so is Vlad.

……..
“Peacekeeping” operations 😭😭. Putin’s keeping a piece of Ukraine every move he makes.
“In his eyes we lied to him” u sure did!
No they didn’t coz he wasn’t in power in the 90,s!!
And they didn’t plan on extending nato but as everyone well knows a lot can happen in a year, none the less 30 years.
“We lied to him…” – Maj Gen. james Marks
Spider is wrong about the ‘promise’ it was specific to the GDR and expansion in eastern Germany. Gorbachev would know wouldn’t he? The spirit of the expansion though is problematic. When Spider says NATO lied (granted he did say ‘in his eyes we lied to him’) the funny thing is he’s repeating Putin’s propaganda. Spider is mostly right in his analysis but partly (mostly) wrong about NATO’s supposed promise. That comment about 20 years hurts …
@jamespro95 check John Mearsheimer’s video. He’s one of the most knowledgeable person when it comes to geopolitics and he said the same thing.
and i think regardless if there was a promise or no, Putin’s main question is “why? What have we done in 90s for NATO to approach closer?. We were suppirtive of the west all thruout 90s”. The answer is “just in case. You are the bad guy. so just in case”. He kinda makes sense too.
Not supportive of his land grabbing agenda thou.
“in his mind…”….if Ukraine wants to be part of NATO that is her (?) “choice”….if Putin doesn’t like it he could very well offer Ukraine more carrots….but oh noooo….he only has his tanks, soldiers, deaths and potentially nuclear threats…the US does the same thing??? Not to the same extent…not lately at least…
Germany already refused to let Ukraine into NATO. This has absolutely nothing to do with NATO.
i love when he said we lied to Putin.
Who wasn’t even in power in the 90,s like wtf??
@Christmas Machuka John Mearsheimer said the same thing. It’s the truth…
@Christmas Machuka it doesnt matter who was in the power it does matter the words and promises .NATO and US totally responsible for today crisis now they are increasing it by using media such as CNN,BBC,NBC ,Fox news
@hasitha Kumarasiri I must have missed the time when NATO moved 200,000 troops towards a neighboring state and threatened invasion of any kind of a sovereign state.
interesting that when the General started to talk credible information he was cut….hahaha
Or……the uploaded video time just ran out fool!!
Wow can’t believe first time I hear some truth on cnn
Great segment. Very insightful. This General is talking sense.
@maktar wade U just jelly. Wish you could grow tall enough to go on the ride. That’s ok little one, not all persons are meant to be of relevance, be of any use. You will still serve well as a bad example.
The “retired general” now works for Academy Securities, who describes themselves as “a firm comprised of the best Wall Street veterans working alongside the best Military veterans.”. Funny how corporate media never likes to tell us how these “retired generals” are now profiting by selling war.
Great analysis Ret. Maj. General James “Spider” Marks. Thank you.
Why they call him Spyder anyways??
when you promise something to a country and do the opposite of what you say. Is only a lie in eyes of the opposite side that gets offended. 😂🤣 Native Americans “ Yeah don’t trust there word or treaties”
I didn’t actually see the broadcast version of this but it seems as though he was cut off and the end when he started getting into the why is this happening part.
Watching CNN is like watching monkeys throw their own poop. Cuts off when it sounds like some truth was about to happen.
CNN conveniently stops when the General tells the truth at the end.
Next thing being like, the Soviet Union region was once Russia’s glory, we reclaim those countries as independent states as well…
Per classic military strategies, spider’s presentation here is spot on. Unfortunately that strategy is already obsolete. If those were the reference by the west as anticipations, no wonder Russia has the upper hand on these unfortunate events in Ukraine.
Excellent, professional analysis by the General. Also explained some roots of all this at the end.
