Obvious examples of Central Intelligence Agency covert action abroad are difficult to identify today, save for occasional acknowledged calamities, such as the long-running $1 billion effort to overthrow the government of Syria, via funding, training and arming barbarous jihadist groups.
Youkeepp on believing that. It’s a country ruled by the oligarchs and it’s working exactly the way oligarchs want it to.
You mean like Russia? And I’m unsure how belief is required in Ukrainians deciding their own destiny.
Yeah, Russia isn’t any better than Ukraine. Meanwhile, as discussed here, you need to learn a bit about the demographics in Ukraine before talking about Ukrainian destiny.
What about the 2019 election? The most recent one before the war I think, right?
I address that in the thread if you bother reading it. Zelensky ran on the platform of normalizing relations with Russia and implementing Minsk.
Aaaaaaaaand then Russia invaded and suddenly normalizing with the EU (not Russia, not invading and murdering them currently) got a lot more popular. Strange, isn’t it?
This was happening in 2014 as reported by CNN, where were you? https://twitter.com/paulius60/status/1611148483859255296
I’m…not even sure what point you’re trying to make anymore. I have yet to see anything that justifies Russian aggression in Ukraine though, you seem to have gotten wildly off topic
The point I’m trying to make is that the regime in Ukraine was doing ethnic cleansing in Donbas attacking civilians, and the west just let it happen for nearly a decade. If you don’t care about what was happening to those people, then you have absolutely no moral high ground here. Bye.
