    Remember when Russia kept accusing Europe of fear-mongering, when people said Russia was planning on invading Ukraine for months leading up to them actually invading Ukraine. And then they continued to deny that they actually invaded Ukraine for months, after they actually invaded Ukraine?

    Yeah. Here we go again.

      Remember when the US backed a coup that overthrew Ukraine’s government in 2014 leading directly to the current war? Fuck off clown

        I remember when Ukraine’s president reversed decades of policy, that he was specifically elected to enact…leading to protests and riots, demanding his removal from office. The US had nothing to do with that…Russia did.

              Idk what part of this story you think proves me wrong or why, especially when the history of CIA operations exactly like this is so well documented. If you’re going to lie at least put some effort into making it believable.

                What am I lying about?

                Yanukovich was elected on the promise that he would continue to strengthen ties with the EU, and sign the EU–Ukraine Association Agreement. An agreement that had been negotiated over the course of many years, and was already approved by both sides. When he suddenly refused to sign it at the last minute, people all across the country lost their shit, and took to the streets to demand his removal from office.

                Not one word of that is a lie. Those are just facts.

                Like I said, the CIA didn’t need to orchestrate anything. Russia and Yanukovich made those protests happen all by themselves.
