“2014 was a CIA color-revolution and coup”
It wasn’t. I know plenty of Ukrainians and they were deeply displeased when Yanukovych refused to sign the European Union–Ukraine Association Agreement (EUUAA) which would have given Ukraine and the Ukrainian people access to EU markets and jobs. It also would have brought in much needed global investment into Ukraine.
The touchstones of the EUUAA most importantly required Ukraine to put an end to the corruption and cronyism that is so typical of former Russian-occupied countries and that is still ever-present in both Russia and Belarus. These political, economic, judicial, and regulatory reforms would have lifted the economy of Ukraine and made day-to-day life better just as the same reforms improved Poland, the Baltics, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, and the former Czechoslovakia.
Oh, but you Russian gangsters can’t have that, can you? Seeing Yanukovych kicked out of Ukraine and then having his palatial dacha pictured on TV all over the world embarrassed you people, didn’t it? You’re still butthurt that Yanukovych’s billion-dollar estate was exposed along with the hideous corruption that funded it.
What’s worse is that you gangsters try to convince yourselves and others that the CIA toppled Yanukovych when the truth is that his regime was like a tree that was rotted inside and despite an outward appearance it was fragile and weak and easily toppled. No, the CIA no more deposed Yanukovych than they deposed the gangsters who ran the August Coup against Gorbachev.
This is always the fate of corrupt regimes to fall suddenly when the people they oppress no longer fear them.
The same will happen to Putin. The day will come when people who want Russia to prosper as a decent and honest nation will simply no longer listen to this leftover from the days of Brezhnev. His regime will fall with a whimper and if he’s lucky he’ll be allowed to live out his days in Amsterdam or even Paris where he can go to cocktail parties and tell people about how important he used to be.
Or maybe he’ll get shot in the back of the head like he used to his victims in the Lubyanka.
Honestly, I’d rather see him die a pathetic old man than a martyr.
In any case, this is the crap you defend. A pox upon you and yours for supporting Russian imperialism and corruption.
This post is a collection of angry bile and slurs. Oh, and something about Yanukovych having a large house. Its like listening to an aggressive drunk at a bar spilling nonsense from his brain.
Ridiculous.
Yours is EXACTLY how the neocon-left responds when people oppose them leading into another useless foreign war. They call you “traitor,” “Putin Lover” or “terrorist.”
So if tomorrow the current Ukrainian government falls and a new one loyal to Russia pops into being... will you agree with what you just said?
Okay, how many of Ukrainian are in favor of the consequent clowns who signed it, destroying their jobs and rendering savings worthless? :) Yanukovich was never as unpopular as Ze clown currently.
