In reply to the discussion: Is President Obama admitting we caused overthrow of Ukraine's government? [View all]KoKo
(84,711 posts)He had the NeoCon and Wall Street Investment Houses "Talking Points" down pat....but he left the history out what actually occurred in Ukraine when and after the Protests began. He left out the Crimea situation which is comparable to Clinton with Kosovo and that the Urkrainian elected Government was overthrown...etc. He left out John McCain's early involvement, Victoria Nuland's handing out cookies, and phone conversation "Fuck the EU" and the US Wall Street involved "new team" installed in Ukraine which he credits with putting Ukraine on the path to recovery. He doesn't seem to realize that not all Americans watch CNN/FAUX NEWS and the rest of the Corporate owned networks for information. We have Global Media available and not just "Russian controlled media" (his words) to inform ourselves.
It is disturbing that he says the US won't get involved with Russia beyond the harsher sanctions we will keep imposing, but that NATO will be used if there is any evidence of Russia involved in any surrounding NATO members. Meaning NATO will ramp up militarily against Russia but "our hand" will not be visible.
It reveals a side to Obama that I wish I hadn't seen...
