Okay, let's be open minded for a second and look inside.
>> The catalyst for the crisis today in Ukraine was the 2014 coup. That coup was set up and supported by the US.
Yes, yes, CIA agents orchestrating the coup. A lot of my friends are still waiting for Obama to pay them for their services...
Next 2 paragraph present "proofs": some "intercepted" call discussing future Ukrainian government between Nuland and Pyatt and statement that "Nuland then pressured security forces to stop guarding government buildings and allow the coup protesters in" without further explanation. Mrs. Nuland seems to be a real-life Wonder Woman by single-handedly ordering Ukrainian police and internal forces to just stand down. Can she use some of her superpowers to also order dismissal of Russian troops build up?
>> It was a defensive reaction to the oppression of Russian-speaking people on its borders.
Oppression? As a Russian-speaking person in Ukraine I don't feel oppressed now and didn't feel oppressed back then. That statement is a Russian propaganda trope.
>> Contrary to the portrayal in the media of a people desperate to escape Russian and to run into the arms of NATO, Volodymyr Ishchenko, research associate at the Institute of East European Studies, Freie Universität Berlin, reports that "Ukrainians are far from unified in support of NATO membership."
Oh, self-described marxist that "supports neither side of conflict" is a great neutral source of information /s
In reality here is actual sociological data https://razumkov.org.ua/uploads/article/2021-nato-ukr.pdf https://razumkov.org.ua/uploads/article/2021-nato-ukr.pdf (to save you the click: 53,6% support NATO membership, 31,0% opposes and 15,2% are still undecided).
Besides that the linked article is full of manipulations and outright bullshit. Please don't post your propaganda here. Thanks!
