Ukraine was veeeeery barely "American equipped", just some infantry weapons (few and in low quantity) and a number of Humvees. It was Soviet and Ukrainian euqipped, and largely remains so.

Trump started sending offensive weapons to Ukraine, while Ukraine was lobbying the US to act against Russian interests. Ukraine was also co-ordinating with NATO, and warmongers like Lindsey Graham went there to talk about 2018 being "the year of offense", and Adam Schiff said that they send weapons to Ukraine so they fight Russia over there.

Only a complete fool of a leader would have done nothing.

I just criticized Ukraine for disregarding American warnings and not preparing for the attack.

Like I said, only for not being obsequious enough to the Americans.

What I don't understand is how Ukraine can be more effective now than in 2014. Except that it was in complete chaos back then due to the American coup. I guess Putin would have been wise to just swallow the whole country.

She was voicing her approval for this very president's own choice of new prime minister.

Yet he was appointed only after the American coup. How interesting. But you're good at trying to spin stuff.

You just dolidn't know that, right? Why don't you ever check things, and never look at context of quotes too? Just why?

The call is damning and shows the extent to which Ukraine was being reduced to an American vassal state. Now, if you want to be critical of me, you may wonder why your only criticism of Ukraine is that it is not obsequious enough to the US. I can criticize Russia, why can you not criticize Ukraine?

Why do you listen to random retards?

They've been fairly reliable on stuff that I can check. Only thing they got wrong is thinking, like many idiotically did, that the American-equipped Ukrainian army basically disintegrated upon impact.

I also never said that I 'believed' them, as I could not verify it myself (but I can't verify your denial either).

There was nothing "government" in these events and he's lying on other founts too

Are you sure? Or do you just disregard things that are inconvenient to Ukraine? I have yet to see you criticize Ukraine for anything, other than not being obsequious enough to the US.

I do know Russian and Ukrainian is basically Russian.

Interesting. But begging your pardon, you do not seem to me to me the most objective person to weigh in on this.

Nah, when Victoria Nuland is appointing the new Prime Minister weeks before the president is violently overthrown, I think it's safe to talk of an American coup.

Of course, Youtube pulled that call just like it pulled Ben Wallace embarrassing himself with Vovan and Lexus - because they're totally objective and such as.
