Listen to this article 0:00 / 2:47 1X BeyondWords Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that he's "convinced" Russian President Vladimir Putin will attempt to overthrow the Ukrainian government.
Blinken made the comments during an interview on ABC's World News Tonight with David Muir on Thursday in response to a question asking if he's "convinced Putin’s going to overthrow this government."
"I’m convinced he’s going to try to do that," Blinken said, adding that Putin has alienated Ukrainians from Russia.
"One of the things that Vladimir Putin has done, starting back in 2014 when they first went into Ukraine, seizing Crimea, seizing a part of eastern Ukraine, is to totally alienate the Ukrainian people from Russia. Before 2014, actually, Russia was pretty popular in Ukraine," Blinken said. "It had a 70 percent favorability rating. Right now, it’s exactly the opposite – more than the opposite. Ninety percent of Ukrainians now, if I can use the word, ‘detest’ Russia and certainly detest President Putin. My prediction would be that one way or another, they will strongly resist any effort to take away their sovereignty, take away their independence, take away their government."

You mean like the coup that put the Russian Hate Monger, the Chocolate King, in power?
One could paraphrase Samuel L. Jackson.
Duh
This Blinkin is on smart dude.(sarcasm)
During the Cold War, people libing behond the Iron Curtain (including Russia) liked America and her people. Why did the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama-Biden Regimes change that? Why did the US & NATO never end the Cold War?
What part of ‘de-Nazification’ didn’t Blinken understand? The terms means that Putin is going to get rid of the existing government and replace it with a friendly government.
Wow! And you came to that all by yourself.
Like Victoria Nuland did?
How much do they pay these experts, anyway?
Nikita Khrushchev once said that the American economy would not work without a war going on...................
Blinkin genius
lol no kidding. gee maybe he will invade ukraine too?
A clue for the clueless!
Wait? What? The Russians are going to remove him? Omg that has never occurred to anyone I know! I take back all I said... Blinken and DC are truly visionary geniuses. Can’t wait to hear what he reveals to us next.
Speak oh oracle.
Do Winken and Nod feel similarly?
Ah shut up you Blinken Idiot you’re useless
Joey, Hunter and their deep state handlers weep as they see Putin taking out the cabal in the Ukraine and their money laundering operation. This thing in the Ukraine is going to further weaken the deep state cabal here. Note the tepid response of Donald Trump on the so called Invasion.
What tipped him off?
WHOA! What an analytical mind.
Winkin (Milley), Bliken and Nod(Biden)
