He’s also a Jew, with family members who fought against the Nazis.
That doesn’t make him being a Nazi collaborator better. You do understand that it makes him far worse right? He’s regularly pictured standing next to proud Nazis. His bodyguards are Nazis. What do you think these family members would think of that?
Viktor Yanukovych fled and recorded his own official statement of resignation before being impeached and removed.
The Ukrainian Rada needs 338 votes to impeach a sitting president. They got only 328. Therefore, their ousting of Yanukovych and installing of Arseniy Yatsenyuk was unconstitutional. Of course, the U.S. immediately recognized the legitimacy of these actions. To put it in Victoria Nuland’s words, “Yats is our guy." and “Fuck the EU” etc.
But even if the U.S. was the “helping hand” and the neo-Nazis were the muscle behind the regime change, wasn’t Ukraine better off? Wasn’t it more democratic? No. The economy took a nosedive and the country took a turn for ultranationalism. The country was sold to the IMF by America’s puppet junta government and the rest is more fact based history.
Almost as soon as Yatsenyuk assumed power, he signed the UN’s Association Agreement and took an IMF loan. Just like Yanukovych predicted, the required “shock therapy” crippled the Ukrainian economy. In 2013, Ukraine’s GDP was 190 billion USD. By 2014 its GDP plummeted to 133.5 billion USD. And by 2015 its GDP withered to a diminutive 91.5 billion USD and its inflation ballooned to a hair shy of 50%.
guess he should have through about that before fleeing like a scared cat
Nazi Dmytro Yarosh and Right Sektor Squadron leader Vladimir Parasyuk had threatened to murder him very credibly. They were murdering innocent people regularly. I don’t know why you think it’s cowardly to flee from them.
So?
