Lets play a quiz-game!
Is it Putin? Or is it the USA?
Lawfare against high-level political opponents
Lawfare against political opponents organizations
assassination of political opponents
controlled media promoting central govt narrative
arrest and suppression of independent media with large audience
weaponization of intel and law enforcement for political gain
lawfare against non-compliant corporations
That CIA (along with John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Victoria Nuland) were working to foment Maiden coup in 2014.
How about looking at the infamous "Nuland phone call". The one where she was discussing how to preserve Yanukovich in office. Doesn't seem like "fomenting a coup" anymore, does it? And ONCE AGAIN, how did the CIA manage to get 800,000 protesters in the streets of Kyiv, in the face of beatings and gunfire (from snipers imported from Russia)? Magic? Drugs in the water supply? Hypnotism? Cookies, for God's sake? It's a patently ridiculous claim, such as only Moscow would publish, knowing that there are useful idiots who would believe it.
That you keep pushing the CIA meme places you in the useful idiot category, or in the official Moscow Influencer category. Since you won't explain why you use a obscure Russian-empire city name as your FR moniker, I'm still betting on the latter.
I don't think you really should want to play that game, because Putin has carried every category to radical extremes since as far back as 2012. The USA isn't even in the running.
I think it might be appropriate to report Kazan’s abuse and threat to see you in Ohio at comment #35 to JR and Co. Not only is it an abusive threat, but he is also giving personal info about your location. I think this is what is called Doxxing and is supposed to be forbidden. I had my name and political party (not Dem) reported in comments by bimbo and worldtraveler. Unfortunately I did not make a copy of this information and thread info. Cheers
Rus Economy (about $2 Trillion) Bigger Japan (about $4 Trillion)
Rus math must comply with regime propaganda, like every every other element of society.
He’s done this before. He seems a bit obsessed with my, ah.....hinder. But if he gets here with plans for my golf clubs, he’s going to be mighty disappointed. I not only don’t possess any, I am proud to say that at 79 years of age I have never even been ON a golf course, much less played that silly game.
George Soros NGOs were involved helping foment the coup and in setting up the government that illegally took over, a fact Zeepers like, incredibly, don't seem concerned about even though he's disgusting, flaming leftist pig.
And, the people of Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk, who voted for Yanukovich were under absolutely no obligation to remain part of Ukrainian nationalist government that came to power illegal. And, decided not be and join the Russian Federation. There isn't a thing anyone will do to change that. Nor is there any moral grounds to force them to be part of Ukraine again.
You're defending the indefensible.
Fixed it. And YES, I'll rely on real historians over yewtoob theatrics.
The Snyder book I just finished, which covers in detail, (275 pages worth), events from about Y2K to 2018 has sixty additional pages of endnotes. Every statement in the text that might need backup is backed up with its' sources. True to academic form, he assumes the reader is as multilingual as he is, so when he references Kremlin documents he had access to, the endnote is in Russian. Nobody can accuse him of bias in translation.
Yewtoob videos by Russian propagandists, (the only people allowed to make videos for public consumption in Russia since about 2012), have either fooled you, or you're in on it and want to fool US.
If you actually know any American ex-pats living in Russia and making videos, name some names so we can check their criminal records here. I seem to recall there are a couple who are wanted for espionage, aren't there? Didn't Scott the kiddy-diddler Ritter just have his passport lifted while trying to flee to Moscow?

Is this a joke?
Some of these I see in the USA, but everyone of these I see in Putin’s Russia and not just in a few cases, but in spades.
Again I will ask, assuming your premise of a coup in Ukraine in 2014 is correct(I don’t), are coups against your interests the only ones that are bad?
Are you saying that russia(Putin) have not been involved in fomenting coups and political meddling for decades?
We could go into the reasons there are so many ethnic Russians in places like Ukraine, but you know this and why so it would be pointless.
So the author has biases and there for his information is invalid, but vloggers living in Russia have no biases or agendas?
Got it/s
An ordinary vlogger is far less likely to have a bias than some neocon writing a book or working at think tank that relies on stirring up hatred from Russia to make a living>
And many of these vloggers are critical of Putin and the Russian government, which you Zeepers keep insisting isn't even allowed there.
“An ordinary vlogger is far less likely to have a bias than some neocon writing a book or working at think tank that relies on stirring up hatred from Russia to make a living”
Of all the things you have said this one is near the top, does your “less likely to have a bias” include Denys or is it just pro Putin anti Ukrainian vloggers
As I have been told repeatedly cloggers make money and that is a bad thing lol
"They're sitting on 10 to $12 trillion of critical minerals in Ukraine. They could be the richest country in all of Europe... If we help Ukraine now, they can become the best business partner we ever dreamed of, that $10 to $12 trillion of critical mineral assets could be used by Ukraine and the West, not given to Putin and China," Graham stated.
I believe you are correct. Said from the beginning. Putin doesn’t give a hoot about “ethnic Russians” and certainly doesn’t give a damn about Ukrainians.
He wants to expand his empire, and he wants the natural resources that come with it
He takes Ukraine he controls a huge amount of the worlds grain supplies, gas in the Black Sea and mineral resources of Ukraine
May be the first thing you have posted that I agree with
We're the ones that don't care that they are abused by a Ukrainian nationalist government we helped, illegally, bring to power.
Stop acting like our elite aren't incredibly immoral and unethical.
What's going in Ukraine is solely about the Western elite getting their hands on $10 to $12 trillion in resources in Ukraine.
That might have been okay if we hadn't gotten greedy and let the people in the ethnic Russian part of the country leave it. But, we didn't.
The “we” part is kind of funny, but I guess Cari g is sending Russians to their death to “save “ them, well to be fair most he is sending are not ethnic Russians. But sure gas, oil, grains, minerals never entered Putins mind
Got it
