Ukraine is a different affair. The CIA funded political parties during the Euromaidan/Automaidan, which resulted in internal conflict that led to the current state of affairs. The only reason they could predict it was that it was their goal.
- KK7NIL 2y agoRight, and the KGB was an innocent party in Ukrainian politics until the evil CIA forced their hand. /s You talk about CIA operations during the Euromaidan, but forget the elephant in the room that is objectively true: the Euromaidan was a response to a Russian controlled Ukrainian president betraying his people who were expecting closer ties with the EU and instead doing a deal with Russia last minute.
- ok123456 2y agoEuromaidan was a response to the old regime being corrupt and collapsing. The only allegiance was to self enrichment.
- KK7NIL 2y agoSure, that's why they named it Euromaidan and flew EU flags, because it was totally unrelated to the people's will to be closer to Europe. /s It is true that it was a revolt against a corrupt regime, but it's also true that this regime was openly pro-Russian and Russian backed, against the will of its people. You again have a big ol' blindspot for Russian corruption and meddling in Ukraine. You've made up your mind a long time ago and arguing with you is useless, you're just crafting a narrative that confirms your faith.
- aguaviva 2y agowhich resulted in internal conflict that led to the current state of affairs. The "current state of affairs" is due entirely to Putin's conscious decision to invade, starting in 2014, in the total absence of any meaningful threat to Russia's security. Not due to anything happening inside Ukraine, or anything the US supposedly did or did not do there.
