Cruz isn’t lying, so you do oppose Cruz.
You have quite a detailed international conspiracy fantasy playing out inside your head.
I've already explained my support for Cruz ‘as President’ should he run. That does not mean I support all he may say or do IN that run to office. I realize things will be stated that can and will change along the way...such is politics...you may have to bend some in order to gain substantially more in the long run...in fact Cruz spoke about this , I believe it was during his all nighter,...which I stayed up for not really intending to do so but he was certainly captivating in what he was putting out there.
I'm neither a conspiracy hunter looking for a bug under rocks.....I do however look at what is available to know and try to understand which direction things may go based on what makes sense from the evidence....sometimes none of it makes sense until you step back and glance at the whole picture for awhile.
It would be really nice if countries were free do choose as they desire to Govern themselves.....sounds great and looks good on paper...but the ‘reality’ is there are always going to be power hungry leaders, with agendas they are pushing on everyone else, which ultimately leads to division and strife within the countries, manufactured by outside influences or piggy backing those within...and sometimes both. And all interested parties do that.
Ukraine has always been a conflict nation within itself...as there are culture differences, clearly so, which play out and are playing out today....And where their is division there will always be strife, the measure of that will equally be in proportion to what and who the interested parties are within, and those from without who want to gain from that inner strife.
