This is WHY the deep state leftist greenie globohomo cabal is all in against Russia. Russia refuses to go "woke" and get on board with their demands. The Ukraine has been one of the main places where these leftists have been fooling with in order to make inroads into Russian culture and the Russian economy. It's why there's been so much inordinate interest by them in the last decade or so. They took out the gas pipeline which causes suffering for millions because THEY think they have the moral high ground.
This isn't the communist soviet union against the good ol United States anymore. It's the communist deep state cabal including the United States against anyone else who doesn't get woke.
