Ukraine has been a dysfunctional mess for quite some time that cannot be blamed on Trump.
1.) Kids of multiple Dems and Repubs on energy boards there. 2.) Burisma. 3.) Biden: fire the Ukranian prosecutor or no $1 billion to Ukraine. 4.) Bioweapons labs. 5.) Putin is an autocrat but Zelensky is also an autocrat who shut down all opposition political parties, left or right and shut down all media critical of him painting them with a broad brush. 6.) Shortly after Trump was elected one can see that Dems and the libtard media had Russia on the brain even then as the Russia! Russia! Russia attacks started quickly and the fake information dossier was ongoing well before Trump was elected so Dems have been obsessed with Putin for a considerable amount of time. 7.) Not a peep from the MSM about the Obama-backed coup in Ukraine in 2014. Guess how McCain felt about it.
And they’ll sweep all of the aforementioned under the rug and blame everything on Trump and let Biden and everyone else mentioned off of the hook.
Ukraine-Russia-NATO has been going on since the 1990s, and Vindman’s is such a stupid narrative, its not even worth arguing about. Given the very long history, Trump is actually a minor player in the present war.
People like Vindman are the reason I have ZERO support for the present Ukraine government, whoever may lead it.
Zelensky did not shut down all opposition parties. Only the pro-Russia parties. Yulia Tymeshenko’s Fatherland Party, European Solidarity and Voice remain in parliament. When pro-Russia president Viktor Yanukovych had the opportunity, he put Yulia Tymeshenko in prison. That’s what Putin’s people do. Same thing with the radical left in this country, whether Antifa or BLM, or the university and corporate elites. They believe in the use of force. And, it doesn’t stop with silencing the opposition.
“Zelensky is also an autocrat who shut down all opposition political parties, left or right and shut down all media critical of him painting them with a broad brush.”
He’s also lost support from ordinary Ukrainians. They think he’s a US puppet, ho got wealthy stealing from the country, and a weak leader.
They are right.
Zelensky is an actor, installed by the US State Department. He ran on “Peace between Ukraine and Russia,” but failed miserably. Instead, the US tells him what to do (fight to the last Ukrainian), and he dances to their tune.
He would not win an election now.
Great summary!
Vindman looks like an extra in an Austin Powers movie or an episode of the Monkees TV show.
Best advice is to ignore this Putinist garbage “history” lesson.
Ukraine’s problems with corruption are due mainly to a century of Russian control and the deeply rooted kleptocratic mafia controls on everything the Russians installed and kept going.
It was also the reason for the “coup” in which the Ukrainians demanded an end to the backdoor control that Russia still had with the not-so-secret Putin henchman that had been in control.
Ukraine has been a dysfunctional mess for quite some time that cannot be blamed on Trump.
HOHOHOHO! Like about three hundred years before he was born?
Vindman continues to give a bad name to horses’ asses.
Burisma is owned and run by a pro-Russian oligarch, who was part of the pre-Maidan government. Ukraine is no autocracy.
