In successfully lobbying Congress for an additional $61 billion in Ukraine war funding, an effort that ended this month with celebratory Democrats waving Ukrainian flags in the House chamber, President Biden has cast his administration’s standoff with Russia as an existential test for democracy.
“What makes our moment rare is that freedom and democracy are under attack, both at home and overseas,” Biden declared in his State of the Union address in March. “History is watching, just like history watched three years ago on January 6th.”
While Biden’s narrative is widely accepted by Washington’s political establishment, a close examination of the president and his top principals’ record dating back to the Obama administration reveals a different picture. Far from protecting democracy from Kyiv to Washington, their role in Ukraine looks more like epic meddling resulting in political upheaval for both countries.
Over the last decade, Ukraine has been the battleground in a proxy war between the U.S. and Russia – a conflict massively escalated by the Kremlin’s invasion in 2022. The fight erupted in early 2014, when Biden and his team, then serving in the Obama administration, supported the overthrow of Ukraine’s elected president, Viktor Yanukovych. Leveraging billions of dollars in U.S. assistance, Washington has shaped the personnel and policies of subsequent Ukrainian governments, all while expanding its military and intelligence presence in Ukraine via the CIA and NATO. During this period, Ukraine has not become an independent self-sustaining democracy, but a client state heavily dependent on European and U.S. support, which has not protected it from the ravages of war.

Ping for later
we instigated a coup and created a dictator.
“we instigated a coup and created a dictator”
************
And we are paying a huge price for it. Literally.
No coup, just the Ukrainian people throwing out a Russian stooge
Putin didn’t like that, so he attacked and invaded
Now Russia is bogged-down in a war it cannot win
No wonder it has to resort to an extensive campaign of lies & propaganda!
Years of meddling in Ukraine has brought the Bidens tens of millions of dollars.
“If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.” Well, son of a bitch. He got fired.’”
Even Vicky Nuland braggs about her coup in Ukraine. The farce is strong in U Zeepers.
And when the DC woke-neocons adventurism and stupidity comes home to roost in the form of high inflation, unaffordable debt, economic dislocation at home, unaffordable housing prices, job losses, etc. etc.
To stay in power, they will be forced to crank-up the political and free-speech suppression machine right here the USA.
The degree of national dysfunction we are witnessing is truly amazing. Yet the adventurism, stupidity and general chaos continues apace.
Waiting for the black swan to appear.
this is an excellent summary of events and the global chaos and domestic poison “Ukraine” has wrought in the USA
It’s always hilarious to see ignorant bystanders disenfranchise Ukrainians exactly as much as Marxist Democrats do to conservatives. They really need to get another hobby.
Good article.

10 years? Understatement of the year.
We’ve (the USA) been at this for decades.
Is there any credible evidence that Ukraine’s 2014 revolution was due to a CIA coup?

Over a century of Russia meddling in the US has in part resulted in 90% of industry/institutions being run by commies, Marxists and their sympathizers.
Ideal for sharing with people that ignore the obvious.
Who’s keeping score?
