And with this you know that Armstrong is nothing but a Russian hack. Nuland did not appoint any Ukrainian government. After Yanukovych fled the country Turchynov was appointed interim president until new elections could be held. There have subsequently been two elections for president. Zelensky was elected, not appointed.
The "civil war" in Donbas started with Russia's military occupation in 2014 under the guise of local militias. Kyiv's actions in Donbas were legitimate attempts to drive out the Russians and reestablish sovereign control over its territories. The idea that all this was to lure Putin to attack so that Russia could be conquered is laughable. Ukraine is just holding on to its own. How is it going to conquer Russia? And if this was just a scheme to lure Putin in so that Russia could be conquered, then Putin is a fool for falling for that trap and should just leave. Armstrong is just repeating Russia's false talking points to justify its invasion.
Believe what you will. Your version, or my version. No one will change anyone’s mind. Fact is Senile Joe’s actions in this war has severely weakened the US and EU. The chord has been cut from western hegemony.
We have entered another cycle, all great nations eventually fade off into the sunset. Nations decline, others rise. The Pendulum is again swinging from the West back to the East.
Enjoy the show.
