| #22 ^ They were going to call it the US Agency for International Money Laundering, but no one could come up with a catchy acronym. |

| #20 Aboutthose $5bn "But the expenditures have decreased substantially over the years. It was still $195.6 million in 2011, but that had shrunk by 2014 to just $86.1 million. Only in 2015 did that figure rise a little." And RFK Jr. talking about Yanukovich being "the first democratically elected... in Ukraine. Please. |

| #17 Why is this view wrong? Because it's none of your damn business. It's not like the US doesn't have its own puppet regimes all over the world. It's called a sphere of influence and when we try to move in on Russia's, the Russians fight back. And we lose. Biden and his handlers miscalculated. Don't try to call it fighting for freedom or democracy or any of that bullshit. It was a power play and a boondoggle for the Military Industrial Complex. The power play didn't work but I'm sure the boys in the MIC are still quite happy with the result. American taxpayers, not so much. |

| #12 Why do people say the previous government was neutral? There is a solid reason why he fled to Moscow. Belarus is co-opted as a client state of Moscow. Moscow wanted the same arraignment with Ukraine. Given the long history of Ukrainians suffering under central Russian domination I can understand why they wish to remain independent. The CIA effort if anything balanced out Moscow's effort to maintain Ukraine as a client state. Why is this view wrong? |

| #11 My take as well Steve. AFG war stops, Ukie war starts up. No missed production for the Military Industrial Complex. |

| #10 I don't know what it is, but I cannot get over this nagging feeling that the current Rus vs Ukr war was an engineered event. |

| #6 hummmmm! 2014 says RFK. Who was running DC things back then? |

| #5 Incidentally. The story of Kievan Rus being the precursor of Ukraine has one (really minor) snag: the second most important city in Kievan Rus was Novgorod. |

| #3 "....revealed that USAID was actually a CIA front." There surely must be some mistake. |
