The 2014 coup was the start of all this horror.

No, it goes back quite a bit further than that, since Russia tried to assassinate the elected President of Ukraine in 2004 because the Ukrainians dared to elect someone who wouldn’t be a Putin puppet.

The 2014 coup was the start of all this horror.
—————
……and the whole world knows this, from the UN to the US. In fact, there were at least three movies made about the Donbass slaughter by the Ukie Azov units back in 2015. The war has never ended, and most of the low information types simply have no idea or recollection, thus the mass delusion infecting Biden’s war cheerleaders.

In fact, much of the the difficulties Vlad has had in ousting the Ukies from the Russian provinces stem from the Ukies HUGE fortifications they have built since 2014…..eight years of preparing for war with Russia……from Sumy down to southern Donetsk, much funded by the US, with McCain visiting Ukraine many times to “ check” the progress and increase funding.

So there you have it, what we know:
Vlad simply will NOT give up the ethnic Russian provinces, ever….and the collective West can do nothing about it.

War cheerleaders, get used to it, you have been deceived by Biden yet again.

It might not have been the start, but it sure played a large role. And that’s one thing about the modern United States. We simply have to interfere everywhere.

Kinda like the old British Empire. And that’s one reason Britain today is a broke and hollow country.

And as a side note, the Monroe Doctrine actually had two parts. Europe was warned not to interfere in the Americas. And in return we would not interfere in Europe. Funny how we break the second part but still expect Europe to honor the first part.

I’d go back to Obammy’s election.

History started in 2014? Interesting, I didn’t know that.

The fact is Putin has been meddling in Ukraine since he occupied the Kremlin in 2000. My advise is to spend some time learning that history. There is lots of it including Russia poisoning a Ukrainian president in 2004.

There wasn’t any coup. No outside power could get thousands of people to oppose the regime as they did at Maidan, although the US and NGOs encouraged the protests as did the EU. Yanukovych was Putin’s tool in Ukraine and his refusal to sign the EU accords made that plain. It was the refusal of his security forces to massacre the protesters that led him to flee. He fled, requiring the appointment of a new president and new elections. Hardly a coup.
