“ When they didn’t honor the Minsk Agreements, Putin decided he had no other choice than to invade.”
It’s always funny when people pretend to know the motivations of Putin.
Trump wanted to drain the swamp..
The swamp in DC has a tributary in places like Ukraine..
Trump wasn’t going to be allowed to drain it..
Russia, your turn..
Castro … I was thinking add a beret and you have Che. Lol
It was the Trump congratulatory ‘phone call that the democrats pounced on to prove collusion and the written transcript that married Ukraine, Zelinsky and bidens money laundering to our everyday brains
Ukraine’s corruption is OUR corruption.
You can not separate the two.
We replaced Russian oligarchs and political influence, with OUR oligarchs, political influence, and a whole lot more money.
Sadly, a victory for Ukraine is a victory for the corrupt US deep-state.
Based upon his history I thought I'd better bone up on Ukraine.
Then I came across this story.
And wondered why we were getting involved in this country.
Always, Follow the Money!
Mark.
Funny, I remember that Ukraine was backing Trump's side of that phone call. That Ukraine was a victim of US and Russian corruption and money laundering and caught in the middle. That Zelensky's name was not mentioned much at all. Then the invasion happened. Overnight Zelensky was a Soros's BFFL and worse than Putin.
But then there are people in conservative politics who right after John McCain recirculated the Steele Dossier back to the FBI, started claiming he was responsible for the USS Forristal fire. Because conservative politics can be dumb that way.
What I see, is that those who do not want the US involved in Ukraine, are trying to rewrite recent history into soundbites as it suits them and impose it on US left/right politics. Its a losing strategy.
