This was a coup funded by the US and the oligarchs. I guess that's what you thought you saw. But since you've made a point of fabricating other plainly untenable information (e.g. "Over a million dead") and attempting

Even the Ukraine war started with violence back in 2014. Right - violent invasions of Ukrainian territory by Russia. Russia was pushed into war by Obama and Biden This just is a repeat of what you said earlier. But in short -- in no wa

You don't have to like my argument. But you didn't even attempt to articulate one yourself. As in, using your own thoughts and words. You just posted a quote from somebody else, and threw down a "source needed" gaun
