I always supported the Ukrainians yearning to dump Kremlin-dominated kleptocracy, from Orange Revolution to Maidan and now fighting Russian invasion.
And McCain’s right on the Russians- even if not often elsewhere
Alt Right on the other hand making excuses for Trump’s kissing up to Putin, wanting to build a hotel casino in Moscow apparently
Disappointing to see a purported conservative backing the Soros-backed “liberal interventionism” of Victoria Nuland and her hubby, Robert Kagan. Then again, maybe you’re actually Bill Kristol. In which case, good luck to you and fellow “conservative” Kagan with your candidate in November— Crooked Hillary.
“I always supported the Ukrainians yearning to dump Kremlin-dominated kleptocracy, from Orange Revolution to Maidan and now fighting Russian invasion.”
100% of this could have been avoided by the EU. The EU free trade deal offered came with a requirement of exclusivity and a NATO expansion.
The EU could have simply offered free trade with Ukraine and watched trade explode. And they could have simply said any Ukrainians that wanted could travel visa free into the EU.
They did neither. It was an EU decision that Ukraine had to choose whether to trade with Russia or the EU, but could not do both. The truth is that the EU wanted to control gas lines leading into Europe. They also want to control the source of gas inside Russia.
The EU has destabilized Russia, Ukraine, Syria, and Libya. I am always amazed that people view the EU as some innocent victim.
