That election was arguably dodgy, but no question that there was indeed a coup

He’s right. We totally colour revolutioned a lawfully elected Ukrainian government.

No, the 2010 election was not dodgy at all.

i agree with you, Elon is not correct. A total of 3,779 observers, including 650 from the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe, were dispatched to monitor the election.

Corrupt Yanukovych was removed from office for betraying Ukraine for Putin.

Clearly, you would know.

Toria Nuland is a war mongering troll.

She is a War Vampire in the middle of a neocon coven that runs our foreign policy totally unchecked, while sustaining itself on blood and hate.

For the last two years, I’ve never ceased to be amazed by that.

“War Vampire” is an interesting frame. I get called a Putin Puffer, etc. all the time, when I point out the engineering behind this manufactured War. I throw “War Vampire” at it, and even FReepers I’ve flamed with come around. Helps that Trump and Elon has zeroed in on Nuland.

“I think you will be disappointed.”

Now that China, thanks to our Taiwan policy, will give Russia NEVER-ENDING ARMS, I suspect the Neocon Supporters will have to deal with even more therapists than usual.

Perhaps the Neocons shouldn’t have goaded China, but I guess they just cannot help themselves in trying to get new wars started.

I was aware of this.

Musk’s problems seem to be with the incorporation of the SpaceX terminals themselves into munitions. He was fine with their use to enable military communications on the battlefield, such as to enable artillery fire control.
