The NATO and U.S.-backed war against Russia began in 2000 when Clinton courted New York’s large Ukrainian American constituency in her run for the U.S. Senate. Hillary openly recognized the Holodomor [Stalin’s plan to starve millions of anti-Russian Ukrainian peasants to death in his 1932-33 communist collective farming disaster]. As a senator, she campaigned on admitting Ukraine to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and promised to set the legislative agenda to admit Ukraine to NATO.
In 2010, Secretary of State Clinton was warmly welcomed in Kyiv by Ukraine’s pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych. During that visit, Clinton told Yanukovych that “NATO’s door remains open” despite Yanukovych’s evident retreat from pursuing NATO membership. The battlelines between Hillary and Trump trace back to 2004 when Paul Manafort agreed to become a paid advisor to Yanukovych. Manafort was a top-level Republican operative who had previously worked with Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. Yanukovych was a former governor of Donetsk, a Russian-speaking region of Ukraine close to the border with Russia.
The decisions that led Obama/Hillary/Biden to go to war against Russia in today’s proxy Ukraine-Russia war trace back to November 30, 2013, the day Yanukovych announced he was suspending preparations for signing an agreement to join NATO that had been scheduled to occur at an EU summit held that day in Vilnius, Lithuania. The State Department’s efforts to block Yanukovych from power in Ukraine began with the Soros-funded Orange Revolution in 2004. In December 2013, 300,00 Ukrainians took to the streets in the largest protests since the Orange Revolution, this time demanding Yanukovych resign. These protests developed into the State Department and Soros-funded Maidan Revolution, which ultimately led to Yanukovych fleeing to Russia in February 2014.
On September 21, 2019, investigative journalist Lee Stranahan reported in TGP that Soros funded the International Renaissance Foundation that worked closely with Hillary Clinton’s State Department in Ukraine and contributed at least $8 million to Hillary-affiliated super-PACs in her 2016 presidential campaign cycle. On March 19, 2015, the Wall Street Journalpublished a chart showing Ukrainian donors led the list of nations from which contributions by individuals of more than $50,000 went to the Clinton Foundation. According to the Wall Street Journal, Ukrainian individual donors contribute $10.0 million to the Clinton Foundation between 1999 and 2014.
In August 2016, the Associated Press (AP) broke the story that while she was secretary of state, Clinton hosted in June 2012, a private dinner for Clinton Foundation donors at her home, including Victor Pinchuk, a Ukrainian businessman whose Ukrainian-based foundation donated at least $8.6 million to the Clinton Foundation. During the period in which he attended Clinton’s private dinner, Pinchuk had retained Doug Schoen, a New York-based pollster who was a former advisor to President Bill Clinton, to set up meetings with State Department officials. On February 12, 2014, the New York Times reported that Pinchuk, whose father-in-law is Leonid Kuchma, president of Ukraine from 1994 to 2005, “led a government criticized for corruption, nepotism, and the murder of dissident journalists.” As president, Kuchma privatized a giant state steel factory and sold it to Pinchuk’s consortium for the low price of approximately $800 million. The New York Timesarticle also reported that between 2006 and 2014, Pinchuk donated roughly $13.1 million to the Clinton Foundation. Pinchuk strongly advocated Ukraine joining the EU, a cause he championed with Secretary of State Clinton.
After Hillary left the State Department in 2014, Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, Victoria Nuland, took up the cause of getting Ukraine into NATO. On December 13, 2013, amid the Maidan Revolution, Nuland gave a speech to the U.S. Ukraine Foundation. In that speech, she said, “When Ukrainians say they are European, this is what they mean. And as one very prominent Ukrainian businessman said to me, ‘The Maidan Movement’s greatest achievement is that it has proven that the people of Ukraine will no longer support any president—this one [i.e., Yanukovych] or a future one—who does not take them to Europe.'” In February 2014, a leaked transcript of a telephone call between Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt, then U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Nuland said, “F… the EU!” in apparent frustration the EU was not equally as strong as the State Department in supporting the Maidan Revolution’s push to for Ukraine to join NATO.
In March 2014, following the Maidan Revolution that ousted Yanukovych, Russian troops invaded and annexed Crimea while supporting Russian-backed separatists supported Russia-aligned Donbas and Luhansk republics as independent states in battles with the Ukrainian army. On February 18, 2023, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stepped in front of microphones for an impromptu press conference following a meeting of the NATO Defense Ministers at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. Stoltenberg openly admitted to the Western media that NATO has been at war with Russia since 2014. “Since 2014, NATO allies have provided support to Ukraine with training and equipment. Ukrainian forces were much stronger in 2022 than they were in 2014.”
This is an excellent summary why Russia had to go into Ukraine.
Now just imagine if Russia had fomented a coup in Mexico and installed a Russian puppet. Does anyone here think for a moment that the Deep State would allow this to happen?
According to guys like Timber_Rattler or Williams OR Lodi on Free Republic, it’s OK for the US to invade other countries at will (for example, Grenada) but no way is Russia allowed to do the same in their own back yard.
The greatest evil in all the world is NOT in Russia, China or North Korea, it is in Washington DC. The Deep State is the greatest threat to all Americans.
... which ultimately led to Yanukovych fleeing to Russia in February 2014.That says everything right there.
bttt
The Ukraine War is the Clinton-Biden War and one just has to be a Richard Ukrainium to allow themselves to be tools for Clinton and Biden.
If our "watchdog Media" had been on the job exposing the sinister hands behind the constant international upheavals, us Americans would have been wise to the game.
But our Media is part of Team DC, so that was never going to happen.
Yup. The US government is the Bad Guy. Russia doesn’t worry me at all. Heck, they seem to be struggling to beat Ukraine. Washington worries me. They mean to conquer us.
Name ‘em
Ping ‘em
Motive: Looting/Racketeering in weapons and politician money laundering/ under the guise of eliminating competition for OPEC/protecting the USD's place as World Reserve Currency by killing and stealing in unjust "wars" that turn money owed by the EU into "sanctions"(one of the reasons for Brexit)
should be classified as criminal activity, but it is just a long established system of war culture backed by a carrier fleet and patriotic US soldiers
Ukrainians want a leader with their interests at heart and not Putin’s interest.
Go figure.
Has Corsi found Obama’s birth certificate yet?
All wars are like onions. In the center of all the layers are the Banksters. When I say "all wars", I mean ***ALL*** wars. ALL!!!
The "Deep State" is a systemic embedded system of evil
the two party system is just marketing strategy to keep the little people fighting amongst themselves while they do their evil deeds and blame each other , then go back stage and hug and laugh at how ignorant we working people are to believe this crap ( like COVID for ex)
and the politicians arent even running the show, the politicians are just the actors up on stage, its backstage where they do the production and write the scripts for the next false flag or black swan event to feed their evil passions
We’ve had 30 years of women in leadership rolls within the political structure. What are the results? The last congress had THE MOST women ever in Congress and the house was controlled by a woman. In 2016 you had the first woman on the top of the ticket and she lost (gracefully?). Has it been net positive or net negative? Just asking
He was about to but as soon as he stepped off the plane in Kenya, he was detained in jail and would only be let go if he returned to America immediately. Nevertheless, Sheriff Arpaio and his investigator Mike Zullo after a lengthy investigation found the long firm birth certificate to be fraudulent and was never in paper form.
If that were true, they would not have to stage a violent coup to overthrow a free and fair elected leader like they did in 2014.
Ukrainians threw out a puppet in 2014 when they realized he did have their best interests in mind even if he was freely elected.
Obama was freely elected. Twice. No doubt you would have been happy if the people rose up and tossed him.
