    Ukraine stopped being sovereign in 2014. Check the Nuland-Pyatt leaked call, and for more context the relationship between Kolomoisky and Zelensky, and how the democratically elected Yanukovich was forced to flee.

      I read through that transcript. There’s no hint that the US has any role more than helping the democratically elected leaders to come to an agreement on forming a government. And they were apparently working to freeze the Svoboda party, which has been accused of Nazi ties, out of the political process. Meanwhile, they’re now being invaded by a man who hasn’t experienced a free and fair election in what, two decades?

        Then how is Svoboda and Right Sektor active and thriving now? Nazi Black Sun medal soldiers must be also a coincidence, right?

          Because Ukraine is a sovereign state and people will vote in ways that the US wishes they wouldn’t.
