On August 14th, one of the Democratic Party mainstream ‘news’-media, NBC, deigned to do an on-air interview of RFK Jr., who is running in the Democratic Party’s primaries to be the 2024 Presidential nominee instead of Biden, and this occasion offered the best presentation I’ve yet seen of how radically against Biden RFK Jr. really is on the Ukraine issue (the issue that’s the likeliest to bring WW3, so it’s probably the most important of all the world’s issues). His historical account had the time-line — the sequence of events in this matter — mixed-up, but was otherwise, so far as I’m aware, entirely truthful about what the key events were, and about the U.S. Government’s deeply shameful actions regarding Ukraine, which have led to this war.

The interviewer didn’t even challenge nor question anything in his historical account, but simply closed by saying, in effect: regardless of what this history is, or what the impact will be on Ukraine, America must conquer Russia. That’s the only thing she seemed to care about.
Here’s that discussion, roughly edited by me to point out where I noticed that RFK Jr.’s timeline was in error:

(Q) You’ve
12:11
criticized the way that Joe Biden has
12:13
handled the Ukraine situation. What would
12:15
you have done differently if you were in
12:17
the oval when Russia invaded Ukraine?
12:19
(A) I don’t believe Russia would have invaded
12:21
if I had been in the Oval Office, because
12:25
Russians tried to settle it before they
12:28
went in. They wanted them [Ukraine] to [fulfill on having] sign[ed] the Minsk
12:30
Accords.
12:31
The Minsk Accords were going to settle the
12:33
whole thing. They [the Accords] would have left Donbass
12:35
as part of Ukraine as a semi-autonomous
12:38
region but given the ethnic
12:40
Russians
12:41
the right to speak their own language,
12:43
and protection from government violence.
12:47
The Russians wanted [Ukraine to fulfill] to [their having] sign[ed] it. The
12:49
Germans approved it. The French approved
12:52
it.
12:53
And Zelenski ran in 2019 and got 70
12:57
percent of the vote promising to [fulfill on Ukraine’s having] sign[ed] it [Minsk, on 5 September 2014].

It’s our fault because we [Biden’s agent, the UK’s Boris Johnson] went over
