Maybe that was because Trump's campaign manager was paid by the Russians to support Putin's puppet in Ukraine? The Ukrainians are under attack by Putin daily and he has stolen parts of their country. It makes sense that they would want to help someone that opposed him.
Putin can never match our military, rebuilt or not but he has succeeded in electing a man who has greatly diminished our influence and prestige in the world. So there's that.
The Ukrainians are under attack by Putin daily and he has stolen parts of their country. What?
1) Try to learn what's going on. If Russia wanted to invade Ukraine they would be on the Dneiper River
within a week & be at Lviv the real heartland of the coup within a fortnight. Russia merely
aided the 3 eastern provinces.
After the coup deposing Yanukovich these alienated the people of Donetsk and Lugansk
& Crimea who, having a president THEY voted for, thought Ukraine already had a democracy.
Crimea and neighboring Sevastopol -- the two newly annexed portions of Russia -- were certainly bastions
of support for Yanukovych in the 2010 election. But while they came close to providing his entire national
margin of victory, they fell a bit short, providing 90 percent of Yanukovych’s winning margin.
Now you tell me if Crimea wanted to stay with Ukraine?
Almost immediately after ultra right wing Ukranian Nationalist overthrew
Yanukovich the entire Ukraine navy had “defected” to the Crimea region, pledging allegiance
to its unrecognised pro-Russian leader and surrendering the country's Sevastopol headquarters.
In the last legitimate election (Carter was a watchdog there)
with all regions participating the Eastern provinces voted accordingly:
For Yanukovich
'Crimea 78.24%
Donetsk region 90.44%
Luhansk region Yanukovich 88.96% Tymoshenko 7.72%'
In western Ukraine the voting was strikingly different with Tymoshenko who opposed Russian influence
receiving equally dominant support:
'Volyn region 81.85%
Ivano-Frankivsk region 88.89%
Lviv region 86.20%
Ternopil region 88.39%'
'
This so-called country is as split as the US was in 1861.
In every Uke election since nominal independence in the 90's except 1,
the Russian leaning candidate won. How the Lviv element of Poles & Lithuanians managed control
even a piece of this mostly Slavic country is astonishing.
Apparently some think the Galician culture have to be the only culture allowed in Ukraine?
'The idea of replacing the Cyrillic alphabet in the Ukrainian language with the Latin one for the sake of
“Eurointegration” is very close to heart of the Galician thinkers.'
