You really need to take your meds. Fortunately you have That great Canadian Health Care system.
Don't despair. Ignorance is curable. Searching Google books is temporary remedy, digging into primary sources is the long term cure. There is a risk of adverse reaction - knowledge can burst your bubble and you might end up needing very expensive help VA could not provide. If in doubt consult your physician first.
Your understanding of these developments is truly hilarious. In the meantime, “humanitarian aid” is being sent to Ukrainian army :)))
Ah and being “very upset” is not really a correct description...
Russia doesn’t need communist ideology to view US as its adversary. Russian military/political/security establishment views America, not Europe, not Muslims, and not China as the number one adversary. That is the doctrine, it’s not an exaggeration, the world view they have is pretty much from the Cold War.
I also don’t believe Ferguson is a Russian ploy, that was just an example that there doesn’t need to be a puppet master behind every single event. I’m hoping to see you stop using absolutes ( a la “spontaneous movements of the masses do not happen” ) because there are just so many examples that refute this. 1992 LA riots, Tiannamen Square protests, American Revolution for God’s sake - all happened WITHOUT external powers forcing them to happen. What follows from your statement is that America exists not because colonials wanted independence and a new system of governance, but because it’s all a French geopolitical ploy to weaken the British Empire. US even had a French general and military aid, didn’t they? :)) Of course, it’s a very cynical world view as it negates the American contribution which actually drove the entire thing.
Lastly, Maidan wasn’t spontaneous at all.
A - Maidan from 10 years ago was the template to follow. Been there, done that.
B - there were protests through the entire Yanukovich presidency, the Tax Revolt in 2012 (I think) and the Russian Language protests later.
C - what set the tone for this Maidan was the unprecedentrd event in Vradiyivka, where locals stormed a police station after a cop raped and almost killed a girl. It was just the latest and most violent example of the degeneration that was Yanukovich presidency. This storming of the police station was as far removed from geopolitics, the US State Department, CIA, Soros and Illuminati as you can get.
>Why Putins sock puppet Assad is helping ISIS.
I suspect because Assad wants to eliminate all the other rebel groups leaving ISIS as the only one so as to get the world on his side.
