Yes, and an assist from Lindsey Graham, no doubt.

The entire BS war in Ukraine, when we promised Gorbachev we would never move NATO closer to Russia than it was in c.1990. Then Clinton backed out of that promise. And here we are today with some 1 million or more dead Ukrainians and Russians and God only knows how many wounded/maimed.

Russian propaganda, regurgitated by excalibur, again. Yanukovych was a president put in and controlled by Russia....

the Ukrainians themselves had enough of him, and kicked him out when he backed out of going with the Ukrainian citizen's will, who in majority wanted to deal with the European marketplace instead of the Russian....

Yanu' was a Russian stooge. Ukrainians rebelled against him...with good reason.

Viktor Yanukovych has the rare distinction of having been ousted twice from Ukraine's presidency after giant street protests.

Opponents accuse him of having enriched himself, his family and cronies while in power.

A protest against his decision to abandon a far-reaching European Union partnership deal in November 2013 morphed into a huge - and violent - campaign to push him from power.

But it was the deaths of at least 88 people, many of them protesters shot dead by uniformed snipers in 48 hours of bloodshed, that ultimately brought him down.

The killings sent shockwaves around the world

That is the deal the Left keep denying--- the good will and peace with Russia was long ago predicated on the word of the USA that NATO would never come closer than it was.

And all Biden and much of the EU has been trying to do these past three years is park NATO right up against their border...

“…enriched himself, his family and cronies while in power.”

Maybe he should run for US Congress?

The rumors about John came to reality with his thumbs down vote. What a piece of shit.

Geeze, we have no plans to invade Russia! Russia is who is and has been the AGGRESSOR, trying to reestablish and take over the Soviet Bloc countries again.

No one has done more to make the past Soviet Bloc countries join the EU and NATO, than PUTIN.

Of course you have. That is the only possible explanation for NATO expansion. It's preparation to attack Russian Federation.

That is a baseless projection.

No evidence exits to support thst made up claim.

Common sense is enough. If its not enough read European official declarations, that their goal is "decolonisation" of Russia.

Shocked trump was he harassed back then too…another baseless lawsuit

NATO doesn't attack.

It's not in the attack business.
