We win, Putin loses. Noteworthy is the absence of what happens to Ukrainians. Happens often there.

2) Then a top U.S. State Department gets caught (right before the Olympics) about planning a coup d’état since Ukraine did not join the E.U.

There is nothing in the audio about a coup d'etat, nor did a coup occur. The Interim government in Ukraine is the Ukrainian Rada that was democratically elected in October 2012. Yanukovych chose to fled to a foreign enemy to avoid prosecution for his criminal acts. Nor was the United States behind Yanukovych having people kidnapped using the Berkut, or violating the Ukrainian constitution, and eventually shooting civilians. All of this was taken up with the apparent recommendation of the Russian GRU who were crawling all over Ukraine.

3) The media then calls the National Socialist they are supporting “Freedom Fighters”

If you are referring to Right Sector, they have exactly 2,000 members and no members in the Ukrainian Rada. Svoboda, if you want to call them Nazis, poll in the single digits in presidential elections, and are a minority party.

The facts are Ukrainians of all political colors marched in the Maidan, and that includes Ethnic Russians, Ukrainians, Jews, and many other ethnicites.

4) The coup is successful and then the media calls ANYONE OPPOSING the coup “A Terrorist”. Who is terrorizing who?

There are dead Tatars in Crimea, a boy recently had his head smashed in in Crimea also because he spoke Ukrainian to a police officer. There have been patriotic Ukrainians found tortured and dumped in the river, a MP. A BBC reporter had a gun put to her head. Journalists have been kidnapped and beaten. There is a 80,000 Russian strong army on the border. There are Russian GRU controlling rent-a-mobs and long term Russian assets to simulate upheaval, and all of this contrary to the popular will of the people, which poll after poll in the East and South show is that of Ukrainian patriotism, not Russian annexation.

This would be a war about Natural Gas. It has NOTHING to do with freedom. We are broke too and this is not our fight.

This is a conflict within a new cold war, because, in all actuality, we lost the last one when we allowed the Communists in the Kremlin rebrand themselves as capitalists and freedom-lovers, without having the crimes of communism condemned or Russia submit to de-communization.

My friends in Ukraine tell me there is a lot of ill will against the US because of our interference over there

The Obama administration has messed up everything it has touched. As for that idiot Psaki at State and her hash tags it just makes me sick

My position is Ukraine and the EU started this mess by overthrowing their own government. Let them and the EU clean it up.

“We win, Putin loses”

Define “WE”....
America’s best interests?
Or the interests of the America-hating Radical Academic Socialists currently in charge?
