    Ukraine needs to be helped but I hate the CIA habit of “secretly helping”, it got us everything from Saddam Hussein to Operation Condor fo the assassination of Patrice Lumumba.

    Won’t be surprised if in 20 years time we learn that it was more “secret helping” that got Ukraine invaded in the first place.

      I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if the CIA cooked up an invitation to invade Ukraine as a way of expanding NATO membership. They are completely capable of throwing away millions of civilian lives if it meets their end goals. It would hardly be the first time.

      Putin got Ukraine invaded, I don’t care what the US or anyone else did.

      Putin is the one who invaded another country.

    They’ve just confirmed themselves that the reason that Russia started the war for has been legit and justifiable all along. As well as the words of Russia which has said this dozens of the times.

    Better off and easier for Putin, from now on.

      First off, no they haven’t lmao

      And second, even if it were true, that totally justifies genocide? What about all the other countries that Putin is eyeing next?

        Gaza, a literal genocide, documented for the world to see: DON’T WORRY GUYS NOTHING TO SEE HERE

        Ukraine, an overt military action, but for which civilian casualties have been remarkably restrained (in comparison to Gaza, in comparison to Mosul, even in comparison to Iraq): GENOCIDE GENOCIDE READ ALL ABOUT IT

        nice.

    Maidan Revolution: February 2014

    Today: February 2024

    Thanks for the confirmation of what we all knew already: that the US was directly involved in instigating and supporting colour revolution in Ukraine to counter Russia.

      Yeah, that’s not what it said. You are making a connection that is not there and repeating a putinist talking point.
