An article by Yahoo national security correspondent Zach Dorfman praising U.S. intelligence agencies for accurately predicting Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine inadvertently highlights the extent of Washington’s military provocations in Ukraine during the period before the outbreak of hostilities. Those measures went well beyond the ill-advised political decision on the part of George Bush’s administration and its successors to push for Ukraine’s admission to NATO.
quote:

Evidence grew in recent years that the United States had begun to treat Ukraine as a NATO ally in all but name. Steps included pouring nearly $3 billion in “security assistance” (primarily weaponry) into the country since 2014.


2021:
quote:

Since Joe Biden became president, the efforts by Ukraine and its admirers in the United States to secure membership have increased. In February, the slavishly pro-Ukraine Atlantic Council of the United States highlighted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s plaintive question: “Why is Ukraine still not in NATO?” The Council featured an article by Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dymytro Kuleba, making the case that correcting that situation was long overdue. In September, Zelenskiy pressed Biden to increase his efforts to secure NATO membership for his country. “If we are talking about NATO and the MAP, I would really like to get (from Biden) specifics – yes or no,” Zelenskiy said. “We must get clear dates and the likelihood of this for Ukraine.”

You're just trying to pivot and justify why they started the conflict.

After Russia invaded in Ukraine in 2014 AFTER Russia began this conflict in 2013 by thwarting EU integration? Yeah, you could see why Ukraine pivoted to NATO. The writing for a second invasion was on the wall, especially once Russia devolved its economy/SOL to become "sanction proof".

Stop lying. What wasn’t the case? I made a typo and wrote “would” instead of “wouldn’t”.

The line below it shows my stance in that Russia WOULD thwart integration.

Then you need to answer the questions, b/c that typo is why you avoided answering them.

Wait, so this is your stance? That Russia would thwart Ukraine-EU integration and the West/globalists would NOT?

Amen. The powers that be so desperately want for all Americans to not only fear, but hate Russia. Sure, their society and culture are different from ours, but it’s their country. If their people want something different, they can rise up and make a change. For over 50 years, we’ve worked hard to make them an enemy so that pieces of shite here could get rich from it. It’s always about money. Russia is the only developed nation on the planet that has told the globalist to go frick themselves…and the globalist scum are determined to change that.

You’re telling me I argued it wasn’t the case that the west caused the coup. Right? Read the articles I posted and report back with your questions. All of your “questions” were based on a faulty interpretation so I’m ignoring them because you don’t make sense.

Russia does not want Ukraine in the EU. The west has been pushing for Ukraine to be in NATO since 2004. What’s so hard to understand about that?

The difference between Russia and the US and Europe is the press coverage of its assassinations.

bullshite. You’re trying to say they’re ONLY NOW pushing for Ukraine admission in NATO after the events of 2014 because Russia is a big, bad bully

That’s just unequivocally false and implodes your entire argument

When was Zelensky elected? 2019. Yes, he ousted the person you just claimed replaced Yanukovych after the CIA and Obama placed that replacement in office. Zelensky ousted the purported "globalist" "puppet". All the arguments about this "coup" die once Z does this in 2019. Or then you have to start pivoting irrationally to then claim how weak the West/Globalists were (because if they were that powerful, Zelensky never wins that race)

Wrong. Any number of things could’ve happened in between the time the prior leader was installed to piss Obama off and want a replacement installed.

Biden was heavily involved in Ukraine during 2017-18, remember?

Yeah Russian
Russian and Slavic are two vastly different things.

Russian is a nationality. Slavic is a race/ethnicity.


Ukrainians are Slavic. Some Russians are Slavic but not all.

Your ignorance is eye-opening.

Well you said you had a typo then doubled down on the original point, so I was letting you clarify with a specific question.

quote:

The "faulty interpretation" is that the West or Globalists started the conflict in Ukraine in 2013.

My questions are showing how the argument doesn't work.

It makes no sense for the West/Globalists to thwart UK-EU integration. That would be "globalism" or "Western imperialism" to get UK into the fold, correct/

It makes total sense for Russia to thwart UK-EU integration, for obvious reasons (that I can get into if you want).

It makes no sense for the West/Globalists to lie about the above and lead on the EU and population/government of UK

It makes total sense for Russia to lie about the above and lead on the EU and population/government of UK

It makes no sense for the West/Globalists to then agree to an unfavorable trade deal with Russia.

It makes total sense for Russia to then force an agreement to an unfavorable trade deal with Russia.

It makes no sense for the West/Globalists to create a coup in UK in 2013 if they had the power to do the above shenanigans and tomfoolery. They would just do the will of the West/Globalists (which would be, in this hypo, to thwart EU integration after stalling/lying and then agreeing to an unpopular and unfavorable trade deal with Russia). No need for a coup/puppet.

And, you still haven't come up with anything to make sense of how Z has anything to do with 2013/2014 at all.

If your theory about the West/Globalists and this "coup" are true, Zelensky fought them and won by ousting the puppet in 2019. The influence of the West/Globalists would then be nill at that point, under the hypo/theory. Now, if you want to argue that doesn't make sense, if you read above, a lot of the hypo doesn't make sense. It's on brand.

Was there much, if any, evidence of this prior to Maidan?
