The Dems have been using Ukraine as “some kind of money pit” ever since the Biden Crime Family got into it during the Obama administration. This even intensified as the 2016 elections approached, and some of it continued even after Trump had been elected. Many of these Ukies were players in the “Russia Russia Russia” hoax - take the Vindmans, for example.
I think Trump was completely unaware, at least in part because he didn’t have a lot of foreign experience and the Dems had all their players in place. Pompeo was good but a lot of the Ukie changes were a done deal by the time he got there.
Putin is just Putin, which can be good or bad. I was in Russia about 5 years ago and had an interesting conversation with a Russian who said that we didn’t realize that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia went from state-sanctioned abuse of law, sort of like ours, where an out of control state can have midnight raids, terrorize the population, ignore favored criminals and do whatever it wants, to general chaos, gang rule, street crime and poverty. Putin brought them out of all this, and Russians have always loved a strong man (sort of like Trump).
Putin had been KGB and knew where the bodies were buried, who to go after and how the game was played. And the reason he was popular is that he made Russia a functional, enterprising state basically governed by the rule of law, or certainly a lot more than it had been prior to him.
It goes back before that. Ukraine became some sort of operational center for something when Soros took it over in 2014. Speculation is it was turned into some sort of denied area, where the global multinational intel op that runs things could do what it wanted without any oversight.
Supposedly Ukrainian troops were being tested on by Big Pharma with tests they couldn’t do elsewhere, the intel op was moving money through there, even child trafficking. You can find the picture off Hunter’s laptop with him and five ro six young Ukrainian girls six or seven years old, which was probably a blackmail initiation. And the Russians said the Red Cross in Mariupol found a database with files on every child in Ukraine, which had all of their health data, and specifically the health of their organs. I assume if old Jacob Rothschild needed a Kidney, he doesn’t apply to get on teh transplant list.
I’ve seen the domestic surveillance op in the US - you can click my name, and find your way to my work on the subject. I understand the evil out there. Very bad things were going on in Ukraine. And those who want the Western Cabal to hold onto it, are supporting keeping those bad things going on.
