MUST READ: What 10 Years of U.S. Meddling in Ukraine Have Wrought (Spoiler Alert: Not Democracy)
Gateway Pundit ^ | 5/02/2024 | Not Attributed

Posted on 05/02/2024 8:36:38 AM PDT by SaxxonWoods

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.

The Biden-Obama team’s meddling in Ukraine has also had a boomerang effect at home.

As well-connected Washington Beltway insiders such as Hunter Biden have exploited it for personal enrichment, Ukraine has become a source of foreign interference in the U.S. political system – with questions of unsavory dealings arising in the 2016 and 2020 elections as well as the first impeachment of Donald Trump. After years of secrecy, CIA sources have only recently confirmed that Ukrainian intelligence helped generate the Russian interference allegations that engulfed Trump’s presidency. House Democrats’ initial attempt to impeach Trump, undertaken in the fall of 2019, came in response to his efforts to scrutinize Ukraine’s Russiagate connection.

This account of U.S. interference in Ukraine, which can be traced to fateful decisions made by the Obama administration, including then-Vice President Biden and his top aides, is based on often overlooked public disclosures.

Our CIA is not wholly American anymore. Its an international organization masquerading as an American agency. The NSA is not N any more. Its I (International). And Trump is the only one fighting them.

We accomplished a lot. A new nazi country rising from the ashes of the Reich, the rise of the BRICS and the move away from the dollar, stopping massive amounts of fertilizer the Russians cannot export, the completing of the corruption of DC, two impeachments of a good man, the destruction of the German economy when we blew up the pipeline. Oh, and the enrichment of the well connected of DC and their children.

100% of the blame falls on ayatollah obama, though the criminal liberal media will never admit as much

“This account of U.S. interference in Ukraine, which can be traced to fateful decisions made by the Obama administration,”

Somewhat true, but in the Bush administration we already announced that the Ukraine would be invited into NATO and the CIA was already encouraging Banderist resurgent organizing.
Both parties in DC are equally involved in this.

Repelling an invasion from a tyrannical regime, is a democratic effort.

Wanting to remain independent from any foreign government, is democracy. Nations seeking the help of countries that want them to remain independent and running their own lives, is democracy. Democracy is freedom from being run by others. Ukraine may not be the ideal representative of complete freedoms at home, but, it’s a lot better off without the Russians taking over and controlling their lives.

———-
The disgusting part of this story: since 2014, $$$ billions was spent on Ukraine ( some estimates are half a trillion) and preparing them for war with Russia.

If citizens knew how much $$$ was flushed down the Ukie toilet PRIOR to this war, “ Biden’s Project Ukraine” would have failed long ago.

The only consoling fact is senile Joe’s Project Ukraine ends in total failure, NATO and the West get the black eye and these forever wars by the US finally end.

We’ve had agitators trying to spark war with Russia for decades.
Recall general Wesley Clark telling British General Jackson to fire on the Russians at Pristina.
Obama and his “red lines” in Syria.
Hillary and her curious statements flat out of war with Russia throughout the 2016 election.
This has all been manipulated to try and make it happen.
