Obama was not even a Senator until 2005, a decade after Ukraine gave up nukes. He was not even a state legislature until 1997. He was a community organizer.Obama had nothing to do with Ukraine giving up its nukes. Ukraine gave up nukes a few years after gaining independence from Russian occupation in 1991 and gaining an agreement to assured independence and promise of protection from the USA, Great Britain, and Russia. 1994 was when the agreement was made. Russia violated the agreement with Ukraine, the USA Great Britain. Always a part of the story the Russians like to leave out of their misinformation and propaganda.No one is saying the Ukrainians shouldn’t be allowed to be free and separate from Russia. Just don’t pretend they are white knights in shining armor. They are just as corrupt as Russia ever was, as they were all in with Soros and the EU globalist Agenda. The fact of the matter is the globalists funded the revolution, tried to assassinate the elected president, and threw out their own constitution when it suited them. The ethnic Russians rightfully decided to not be apart of the new anti-Russian government and chose to be apart of Russia.
Now, are you cool with each group of people choosing their own destiny, or you would rather see the ethnic Russians oppressed by the Ukrainian Nazis?
No one is saying the Ukrainians shouldn’t be allowed to be free and separate from Russia.
Apparently the Russians in Ukraine and in Russia have been saying that.
Just don’t pretend they are white knights in shining armor.
Let's see, on the one hand, Russians starved millions of Ukrainians to death and enslaved Eastern Europe for four decades on the other hand......I got nothing. You?
They are just as corrupt as Russia ever was
That settles it, bring on the Russian boot, eh?
as they were all in with Soros and the EU globalist Agenda.
Oh please!!
Soros is an evil bastard.
That doesn't make Putin any less evil, that doesn't make Putin's attacks on his neighbors any less evil.
The ethnic Russians rightfully decided to not be apart of the new anti-Russian government and chose to be apart of Russia.
They're next door to the biggest damn country on Earth. They should move there instead of causing trouble.
Did Russia take over all of Ukraine? No. They took the parts full of ethnic Russians that wanted to be a part of Russia as opposed to Nazi Ukraine. If Russia wanted to take the whole of Ukraine, they could.
Yes, the USSR commies did terrible things. What does that have to do with the situation now? Nothing...
How were ethnic Russians “causing trouble”? They were doing just fine until the Ukrainians tried to kill their elected leader, causing him to flee to Russia and ask for help. The Ukrainians then threw out their own constitution, which means they had no rights to all the lands within the previous borders. In order to form a new government you must have all parties choosing to be apart of it, the ethnic Russians in the east did not. So the new Ukraine has no rights at all to govern them using a new constitution. If you choose to create a new nation, you only get what your army stands on.
When the Ukraine broke away from the USSR, they were very capable of taking care of themselves. They had the best army as well a nuclear weapons. Unfortunately Obama convinced them to give those up.
Since then the Russians have invaded the Ukraine by taking Crimea and the phony separatists are Russian forces. It is not their elect5ed leader. He is the leader of the Ukraine and was lawfully removed by the parliament. So what if the Russians don't like it. I am sure that Democrats in Alabama are unhappy to be ruled by Republicans. Are they entitled to leadership.
Obama did urge Ukraine to give up its nukes and said the US would protect them. Those turned out to be hollow words.
