1
I want to make it clear, I disagree completely with Radek on the point that
2
Russia is an imperial great power and that Ukraine is the first train station on the line.
3
And when they're done conquering and incorporating Ukraine, there'll be additional countries.
4
There is no evidence to support that.
5
It's true if you look at the July 12, 2021 talk.
6
It's true if you look at Putin's February 21 and February 24 talks this year.
7
This is all about the West's effort to make
8
Russia, excuse me, to make Ukraine a bulwark, a Western bulwark on Russia's border.
9
And the key prong in our strategy is NATO expansion.
10
If you just go look at the documentation,
11
you'll see an abundance of evidence of that and you can find no evidence that Putin is an imperialist.
12
What we have here...
13
No, what we have here...
14
What we have here is a choice between two bad alternatives.
15
One alternative is we can reach an accommodation with the Russians and, through diplomacy, work to create a neutral Ukraine.
16
That's one alternative, and it's the alternative that Steve and I favor.
17
The other alternative, and this is the Biden administration's policy,
18
is to double down and to try to defeat the Russians in Ukraine,
19
to bring the Russian economy down through comprehensive sanctions, and as I said on a number of occasions,
20
to knock the Russians out of the ranks of the great powers.
21
That's the alternative.
22
You have to choose between those two.
23
And our argument is that the second alternative is extremely dangerous and it's going to be terribly damaging for the Ukrainians.
24
It makes more sense to cut a deal here.
25
And what you really want to think about is the one crisis before this
26
that looks a lot like the situation we're in today, and that's the Cuban Missile Crisis.
27
We now know that when the United States got involved in the Cuban Missile Crisis,
28
what President Kennedy did was he went to enormous lengths to shut the crisis down.
29
He cut a deal with Khrushchev.
30
He cut a deal with Khrushchev that he thought was
31
so objectionable to the American people that he told Khrushchev
32
that he was going to have to lie about the Jupiter missiles in Turkey which he was going to take out.
33
Kennedy understood.
34
We were talking back then about the threat of nuclear war.
35
And Kennedy understood that you definitely wanted to do everything you can to avoid that.
36
So what I'm saying to all you folks in the audience is you want to think like John F.
37
Kennedy in this crisis, not like Joe Biden.
38
Wow.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
