“Russia is the great evil because they did bad things in the past”
Deflections.
Present day. Russia annexing land illegally is supported by all conservatives...never.
Are snipers used to create a crisis for a false flag event supported by conservatives? And there was no investigation to find out who the snipers were? Really?
Wonder how much support the “appointed” leadership will have once the Ukrainians get the bill for their EU membership? When they find out the EU has enough wagon riders already and are need of more people to pull? Better get those elections done quickly before they mail that invoice.
Our government is pulling cards from the bottom of their own house of cards. They are thinking they are still the biggest and baddest country on the planet. Our foreign policy is driving China, Russia and likely India into an economy where the dollars in no longer needed. Once the house of cards goes poof, you had better hope you have converted the dollars to something you can eat, trade or items to protect what you have.
Both sides produce propaganda. Did you notice the source of this thread? PR firm needed to get the story out?

I used to know who the good guys and bad guys were. At least I thought I did until my government in the United States of America began to no longer know what the truth was and every word was a lie. Our government is busy replacing leaders and installing the ones they think are good. How would they know what good is when so many things they do are so evil?
Treasury Secretary Lew Announces Signing Of $1 Billion U.S. Loan Guarantee Agreement For Ukraine
WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew announced the signing of a $1 billion loan guarantee agreement for Ukraine. This guarantee, when completed, will complement the Government of Ukraine’s International Monetary Fund (IMF) reform program and underscores the United States’ commitment to Ukraine.
(Did they pass the IMF reform to find out what was in it?)
“The Ukrainian people have demonstrated tremendous courage as they have charted an independent course for their country and demanded a government that truly reflects the will of the people. The United States has been at the forefront of building international support for Ukraine, and holding Russia accountable for its violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and destabilizing action,” said Secretary Lew in his remarks at the U.S. Treasury Department today. “I would like to congratulate Minister Shlapak on the progress he and his team have made in putting in place a comprehensive economic reform program together with the IMF. The United States very much wants to see Ukraine prosper, and we will continue to stand with the Ukrainian people as they move forward to realize their long-held aspirations.”
The $1 billion loan guarantee is part of a U.S. bilateral assistance package that also includes technical assistance to help Ukraine return to a path of economic recovery.
(We’re damned awesome when it comes to showing other countries how to do economic recoveries!)
This loan guarantee will bolster the Government of Ukraine’s ability to provide critical services as it implements reforms, while protecting the most vulnerable Ukrainian households from the impact of the necessary economic adjustment.
(Wait, there will be economic adjustments? Which way are you adjusting our economy? Up, right? Right?)
Secretary Lew and Ukrainian Finance Minister Oleksandr Shlapak held a bilateral meeting before today’s announcement to discuss the ongoing situation in Ukraine and Ukraine’s progress on its economic reform plan.
(This is free right?)
The United States will continue to urge its international partners to take immediate steps to bolster the IMF assistance package and move forward with bilateral aid and technical assistance.
