Average Americans will be better off when the Russians finally kick the Democrats and the Deep-state out of their Ukraine corruption rat-hole.

The 2014 Maidan coup simply flipped a sad and divided Ukraine from rule by corrupt Russian oligarchs, to corrupt American oligarchs. Every major DC political and anti-Trump scandal since then has roots in that black hole.

How so? How does allowing the Russians to subjugate another country benefit America?

The 2014 Maidan coup ...

I am really tired of this pro-Russian meme. Maidan was not a coup driven by the CIA. Yanukovych had betrayed the Ukrainian people by succumbing to Russian pressure to reverse himself on an EU/Ukraine agreement that he had previously supported and had been approved by parliament, and attempted to bind Ukraine to an economic union with Russia. The response in the street by the people was spontaneous and broadly supported. Yanukovych responded with the use of force. He eventually fled the country and was removed from office by the parliament, not by the CIA. This constant charge that it was some sort of U.S. coup is complete hogwash.

Even the charges of a coup were true, it would not justify the Russian invasion. There have been two presidential elections since. Zelensky, as well as the present parliament, was freely elected by the Ukrainian people. He was not installed by the U.S. Russia does not get to invade because they do not like the result of the elections.
