I can't believe this needs to be said, but Ukraine is not in NATO. It is a highly corrupt country. It is not a "democracy."

When the choice is between Zelensky or Putin there is no right choice.

Zelensky is a clown but no dictator.

In 2014 Poroshenko came to power.

In the 2019 elections, Zelensky faced off against Poroshenko. Zelensky won.

Zelensky popularity was at 37% and he was considered pro Russian until Putin decided to invade.

It is a democracy because the side the establishment wanted won.

I hate the corruption, but didn’t we (Pres. Clinton...yeah, I know) promise to protect them if they gave up the nuclear bombs? Thousands, maybe millions, of people have been murdered because of our broken promises. I truly have mixed emotions.

RUSSIA:

- is a highly corrupt country

Right. And nobody’s suggesting we send American tax dollars to corrupt Russia, the way we’re sending American tax dollars to corrupt Ukraine

Why don’t you write Biden and ask for your Social Security contributions to be diverted to Ukraine? We don’t have the money in our deficit-plagued budget, so the honorable thing would be for Ukraine war supporters to give up their retirement money for Zelensky- instead of robbing from the rest of us American taxpayers

“The issue is a Russia in full control of Ukraine. That’s what will be bad for the world on many levels.”

True. One should never encourage or abide a bully.

Reminds me of the congressional money-laundering scandal of ‘91-‘95! These freakin’ grifters should be introduced to some immediate justice!

You sound like you might have connections with the Ukraine establishment. If so, Can I pass along my resume through you? I don’t know anything about energy production, but neither did Biden’s kid and he still landed a sweet job over there. Do you think I’d have a shot?

Yeah, and Putin’s Russia is the epitome of a well functioning democracy that just accidentally wandered into Georgia, Crimea and Ukraine.

This from the MSM network that helped put The Biden Crime Family into power. Thanks Bud!

The choice is between supporting Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and supporting the right of the Ukrainian people to not be invaded.

Zelensky is a clown. The Ukrainians aren’t fighting for Zelensky leave alone for paedo Brandon. The Ukrainians are fighting for their homes and loved ones against the invader

How do you get connections from this below statements?


Putin invaded Ukraine.

2008 Ukraine and Georgia’s application to join NATO was rejected by Germany and France for fear of “provoking Russia”.

6 weeks after that, Georgians were invaded by Putin.

A few years after that Putin invaded Ukraine.

Putin UF he wanted to help Russians in Ukraine would have incorporated those people’s Republics into Russia in 2014. But he did not.

In 2022 instead of just consolidating the Donbas, he attacked khans the rest of Ukraine.

Thus is in line with his constant assertions since 2003 that Putin doesn’t consider Ukraine to be, in his opinion, a legitimate state and that if should be reabsorbed into the Muscowite federation

The whole sordid story.

Ukraine Worked With Democrats Against Trump in 2016 to Stop Putin. The Bet Backfired Badly.
Real Clear Investigations ^
Posted on 3/10/2022, 8:11:28 AM by FarCenter

Six years ago, before Russia’s full-scale invasion of their country, the Ukrainians bet that a Hillary Clinton presidency would offer better protection from Russian President Vladimir Putin, even though he had invaded Crimea during the Obama-Biden administration, whose Russian policies Clinton vowed to continue.

Working with both the Obama administration and the Clinton campaign, Ukrainian government officials intervened in the 2016 race to help Clinton and hurt Trump in a sweeping and systematic foreign influence operation that’s been largely ignored by the press. The improper, if not illegal, operation was run chiefly out of the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, where officials worked hand-in-glove with a Ukrainian-American activist and Clinton campaign operative to attack the Trump campaign. The Obama White House was also deeply involved in an effort to groom their own favored leader in Ukraine and then work with his government to dig up dirt on – and even investigate — their political rival.

Ukrainian and Democratic operatives also huddled with American journalists to spread damaging information on Trump and his advisers – including allegations of illicit Russian-tied payments that, though later proved false, forced the resignation of his campaign manager Paul Manafort. The embassy actually weighed a plan to get Congress to investigate Manafort and Trump and stage hearings in the run-up to the election.

As it worked behind the scenes to undermine Trump, Ukraine also tried to kneecap him publicly. Ukraine’s ambassador took the extraordinary step of attacking Trump in an Op-Ed article published in The Hill, an influential U.S. Capitol newspaper, while other top Ukrainian officials slammed the GOP candidate on social media.
