Soviet Union and separation of the Ukraine from Russia was coordinated by the CIA and its former director G H W Bush's deliberate destabilization. Several Harvard
economists including Jeffrey Sachs were indicted but went scotfree.

It won't be long before its photographed on a grey day, with smoke billowing from its destroyed walls, "protesters" standing behind barricades surrounded by police bearing arms, western MSM media claiming to be "independents" making money selling the pictures to US and UK media corporations.
Poor Ukraine.
And Venezuela next too.
And all because the nationalists claim they want Democracy, in a nation that is already a Democracy!
I hope Brits are watching all this, and coming to understand what a lamentable thing nationalism really is.
If it goes too far, there will be a big war.
Mark my words.
