Great historical review, since the MSM will never go there.

At the tail end of the fiery Oval Office exchange pitting Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky against President Trump and Vice President Vance, Trump spent two heated minutes on a theme the media will likely bury.

That is a sure bet! I've read (on-line) British papers, German papers, and Swedish newspapers and blogs. So far no one has mentioned the Russia, Russia, Russia-hoax and the effect it has had on the Ukraine conflict.

What a great piece that goes to the origins, roots and heart of what we are seeing right now in Ukraine.... and once again, the fingerprints of Maobama are on it.

Jack has done some nice work in the past... this one is up there.

A very important read. Reminds of all the Russia collusion hysteria that the MSM sold to the American public. Had the GOP not lost the 2018 midterms who know what might have happened.

Best part of that picture with Hillary is the Russian guy pushing the button while giving her the finger.

As should have been expected, the newly re-elected Putin read Obama’s flexibility for the weakness it was. Russia refused to accept international inspection of its nuclear sites, gave rogue NSA contractor Edward Snowden safe harbor, and annexed the Crimea.

That is quite the spin.

What else happened during that period of time? Oh, the CIA with USAID fomented an illegal coup in Ukraine that installed a government hostile to Moscow and the ethnic Russian population in Ukraine.

Lindsey Graham and John McCain gave speeches in favor of the coup. Victoria Nuland went to Ukraine to hand out cookies.

This despite the fact the Ukrainian constitution required the country remain political neutral.

That setoff a civil war in Ukraine with the pro-Russian part of it rebelling. The Ukrainian nationalists and neo-Nazis that assumed power were threat to Russian access to a naval base in Crimea that it had operated since before the US Constitution was written.

Thus, the reason the Russians annexed Crimea.

It was naked aggression in the Obama regime, not weakness that caused the current war in Ukraine.

First of all, the Russians have no exclusive “right” to insure, through military invasion, that neighboring countries have governments “favorable to Russia.”

They had every right to secure their naval base in Crimea, which they have operated since before the US Constitution was written.

And, they had as much a right to intervene on behalf of the oppressed in Donetsk and Lugansk, more so in fact, that we did in Iraq, Vietnam or Korea.
