Yep, you’re a Russian trained troll. There’s about nine or ten of you on FR who share the same words, phrases, and insults and your signature style is that you evade critical points by responding to them with insults and vagaries.
May your children crap in your soup.
LOL, funny how Russians keep arguing things in Ukraine are so awful, but Ukrainians still want nothing to do with Russia. The only option left for Putin, is to try to "recapture" Ukraine with an invasion.
When your only filter on Ukraine is US State Dept. propaganda you might think this is true, but back in 2013 the international credit markets thought differently.
After Ukraine spurned the EU and accepted Russia's more generous loan offer, the country's international debt rating actually got raised. This meant better access to capital markets and institutional investors.
Things were poised to get better for Yanukovich/Ukraine without having to wear the EU/IMF/NATO choke collar, and the opposition was divided....which is exactly why the West deposed him.
Are you living in a cave? In 2014 Putin stole Crimea from Ukraine which lowered Ukraine's GDP. Then Putin started a war in Ukraine's southeast in 2014 which destroyed the economy in that area, created millions of refugees and has forced Ukraine to spend vast amounts of money to try to defend itself. Its like comparing Polish economy in the 1930's before and after the invasion. Ignoring Putin's war on Ukraine is moronic.
