America’s Ukraine Hypocrisy(Flashback to Maidan Protests)

There is an abundance of outrage in the United States about Russia’s alleged meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Multiple investigations are taking place, and Moscow’s conduct was a major justification for the sanctions legislation that Congress just passed.

The extent of the Obama administration’s meddling in Ukraine’s politics was breathtaking. Russian intelligence intercepted and leaked to the international media a Nuland telephone call in which she and U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Geoffey Pyatt discussed in detail their preferences for specific personnel in a post‐​Yanukovych government.

I watched Oliver Stone's, Ukraine on Fire documentary and got curious about the Maidan Uprising and found this interesting article from The Cato Institute (Aug, 2017). McCain, Nuland and Biden all look very bad and were not passive observers to the demonstrations. It is not a stretch to see why these same tools would want to sabotage Trump.

I knew something bad was going to happen when I read this.

He had a history of chaos.

Viktor Yanukovich was chosen in an election that international observers called free and fair. He was unlawfully removed from office in a CIA-fueled coup because he wouldn't play ball with the Western interests who had their eyes on Ukraine for their slush funds.

Deep State did to Yanukovich what they tried to do to Trump. Imagine if their bogus "Russian collusion" investigation had succeeded in getting Trump ousted from office? And people wonder why the Donbas said "F* You!" to Kiev.
