Here is one of the famous photos of U.S. Ambassador Nuland in Maidan Square handing out sandwiches to insurgents following the coup against Yanukovich, the democratically elected Ukrainian president, in Febrary 2014:
Putin launched the invasion of Ukraine.
Putin is 100% responsible.
Blaming America is 100% bullshit.
Zelensky heads an elected government that came to power in free open competitive elections.
“Putin launched the invasion of Ukraine. Putin is 100% responsible. Blaming America is 100% bullshit.”
Look who his source is: Kit Klarenberg, whose screeds are viscerally anti-west, and who gets published by Russian media such as RT.
How’s that working for ya?
“Zelensky heads an elected government that came to power in free open competitive elections.”
The elections are so free and open in Ukraine that Zelensky:
* Banned most opposition political parties
* Shut down opposition TV stations
* Shut down all Russian language newspapers
* Tried to imprison leader of #2 vote getting party
* Successfully imprisoned leader of #3 vote getting party
“Putin launched the invasion of Ukraine.
Putin is 100% responsible.”
Until the West gets HONEST in describing what led to this war, Russia will simply continue to roll up what was Ukraine’s land.
It’s up to the West (meaning the Neocon) what, if any, of Ukraine, will remain when the war is over.
You are one stupid MFer liar.
The 2014 coup engineered by the US and NATO led to the Donbas separatist movement and the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2015. Fighting in the Donbas has been ongoing for 8 years. The 2015 Minsk agreement obligated Ukraine to give the Donbas region more autonomy. Ukraine never fulfilled that obligation.
Victoria Nuland was the Obama point person for the coup. Today, she is back under Biden as the Under Secretary for Political Affairs in the State Department running the show along with many of the same characters who were involved in the 2014 coup.
Never thought I’d see the day when so many self-described Republicans have literally become pro-Russian.
The corrupted beggar Z was elected to seek peace with Russia, he did not, he violated the Minsk Agreements that were signed and started shelling and bombing the ethnic Russian Donbass provinces- he ignited a civil war in 2015.
I hope the current calls for Zelensky’s ouster gain ( they are), and he is ousted. The Ukie population is suffering immensely by his refusal to negotiate. Sending what is left of his army into Vlads meat grinder does not have his nation’s interest in mind- he is now drafting 18 year old woman, a sign of desperation.
Get used to reality, the Ukies are toast, the longer they wait to negotiate, the more territory they will lose- when / if Vlad decides to eat Odessa, the Ukies cease as a nation, much talk now about how exactly to carve Ukraine up….time is a wasting.
you are an ostrich...
Sure
and this
and one more
Now who's responsible for Ukraine?
It’s pretty plain that exactly the opposite is true. The Crimean invasion, separatist rebellion and now the war all followed on and were a reaction to the Western elites’ takeover of Ukraine. As usual, the NED is exactly the opposite of what it claims to be - it worked to overthrow the Ukrainian government, and now we have a Ukrainian regime that banned its major opposition party. How is that consistent with democracy?
Critics of Washington aren’t blaming America - we are blaming the oppressors of America. Please stop defending the swamp.
NeoCon.
