You know why this is fantastic these American Tech oligarchs have this group of sane Tech leaders including Musk are telling the true story of Ukraine, and they are seeing and telling about the real Trump that is against unending war. This video will make the lefties lose their minds but will also wake up the duped about Ukraine and Trump at the same time.

I’ve listened to their podcasts before, some are conservative and some are liberal in a traditional sense. BTW it was these friends that educated Musk that Ukraine was not the victim. They told him where to find the history of this coup.

If anons are interested I read every article onwww.consortiumnews.comfrom late 2013-2016+ many by Robert Parry and others. They were the only outlet that told the truth.The innocent 100 protesters that were shot in Maidan Coup were shot by Ukrainian Neo Nazis to blame it on Russia. They even admit today Ukraine killed these protestors to accelerate the overthrow of the government, and Victoria Nuland hired them and Obama etc approved of it.

Elon Musk dubs 2014 Ukraine regime change a ‘coup’

The billionaire described Viktor Yanukovich’s election as ‘dodgy’ but said the coup was beyond question

Twitter CEO Elon Musk polarized his followers with a tweet declaring there was “no question” that the 2014 change of government in Ukraine was a “coup.” On Saturday, the billionaire tweeted that while “the election” – presumably referring to the 2010 vote that elected Viktor Yanukovich president – was “arguably dodgy,” what followed “was indeed a coup.”

The tweet was a response to a post from user @KanekoaTheGreat that featured the front page of an article by University of Chicago Professor John Mearsheimer titled “Why the Ukraine Crisis Is The West’s Fault.” Dating from 2014, the piece – subtitled “The Liberal Delusions That Provoked Putin” – argues that “NATO enlargement” and Western meddling in Ukrainian politics, and not “Russian aggression,” are to blame for Crimea’s accession to Russia.

Mearsheimer states that “for Putin, the illegal overthrow of Ukraine’s democratically-elected and pro-Russian president – which he rightly labeled a ‘coup’ – was the final straw,” an explanation Musk appeared to agree with, at least in part.

While the 2010 election that installed Yanukovich as president was deemed an “impressive display” of democracy by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the West soured on the Party of Regions politician when he abandoned a 2013 economic cooperation agreement with the EU.

Massive violent protests followed, forcing Yanukovich to flee. The US’ hand in the unrest was confirmed in a leaked phone call between then-assistant US Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and US ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt in which they appeared to be plotting to overthrow Yanukovich and install Arseniy Yatseniuk – who indeed briefly became Prime Minister following Yanukovich’s ouster.

Musk also replied approvingly to a previous post by Kanekoa that featured a video clip of All In podcast host David Sacks claiming that the US “courted” the Ukraine conflict. The video likened Nuland to former Biden administration medical adviser Anthony Fauci, a frequent target of Musk's ire.

“The same way that Fauci was supposed to be protecting us from viruses and then funded gain of function research, Victoria Nuland was supposed to be our chief diplomat with respect to Russia and Eastern Europe and what did she do instead? She ginned up this conflict. How? We backed an insurrection in Ukraine in 2014,” Sacks said in the video, which Musk described as an “accurate assessment.”

Mearsheimers article on the truth of Ukraine created havoc in the DS, not only professors but almost every media company worldwide disputed and rebuffed his accurate analysis of Ukraine. I looked for the whole article the other day and found 100s of articles saying he was wrong but couldn’t find his original article or paper.

Dr. Mearsheimer full article on Ukraine

Three major February dates in Russia’s history with Ukraine.Original date Ukraine transferred by Russia leader February 19, 1954

Does anyone else see the synchronicity of Russia entering Crimea in 2014 and 2022. Both events are connected to Obama admin enacting the Ukraine coup in 2014:

Russia enters Crimea dates vary Feb 20th - 24th, 2014

On 22 February 2014, Yanukovych fled for the safety of Putin’s Russia. On the pretext of rescuing his ally, Putin ordered Russian Special Forces into Crimea and began an audacious military coup.

On 27 February, Russian armed forces without insignias seized the building of the Supreme Council of Crimea and the building of the Council of Ministers in Simferopol. Crimea belonged to Russia again.

During the 2014 Winter Paralympics held in the Russian resort of Sochi, the United States refused to send a Presidential delegation. David Cameron and Angela Merkel also refuse to attend though all three countries send teams to compete.

On 24 March 2014, the G7 members cancelled the planned G8summit that was to be held in June of that year in the Russian city of Sochi and suspended Russia's membership with the group.

Russia formally incorporated Crimea as the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol on 18 March 2014. Following the annexation, Russia escalated its military presence on the peninsula consolidating its presence in the region.

Russia enters Ukraine Feb. 24, 2022 to denazify and demalitarize Ukraine.

Fact sheet

• Crimea was transferred toUkraine on 19 February 1954.

• Ukraine gained its independence with the dissolution of the Soviet Union on 26 December 1991.

• Russia invaded Crimea on 20 February 2014, officially marking the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian War.

• The 2014 Crimean referendum is regarded by the UN as illegal because the whole of Ukraine is required to vote and both options on the ballot would have resulted in a separation from Ukraine.

Defense minister explains conditions for Russian advances in Ukraine

A widening of the military operation depends on the weaponry Kiev gets from the West, Sergey Shoigu has said

Russia’s defense minister has outlined the conditions for a widening of Moscow’s military operation in Ukraine, explaining that potential advances are directly tied to Western arms deliveries to Kiev.

“It depends on the weaponry that will be supplied,” Sergey Shoigu said in a brief remark to the TV program ‘Moscow. Kremlin. Putin.’

The minister appeared to be speaking on the sidelines of President Vladimir Putin’s address to the Federal Assembly, the country’s main legislative body, earlier this week.

“One thing must be clear to everyone,” Putin said during the event. “The longer the range of the Western systems that arrive in Ukraine, the further we will be forced to push the threat away from our borders. It’s obvious.”

Russia sent troops into Ukraine on February 24, 2022, citing the need to protect the people of Donbass republics and Kiev’s failure to implement the 2014-15 Minsk agreements. Ukraine, as well as its supporters in the West, consider the offensive to be completely unprovoked.

Russia has repeatedly urged Western states to stop “pumping” Ukraine with weapons, maintaining that the continuous flow of arms will only prolong the conflict rather than change its ultimate outcome. Kiev, for its part, has repeatedly demanded more and longer-range weaponry from its Western backers, insisting that such systems are needed to push Russian troops out of the territories Ukraine claims as its own.

In 2014 in Mearsheimers article on the Ukraine coup said at that time Russia was s weak military country. They had 8 years to plan and ramp up arms and their armies:

“Besides, even if it wanted to,Russia lacks the capability to easily conquer and annex eastern Ukraine, much less the entire country. Roughly 15 million people one-third of Ukraine’s population live between the Dnieper River, which bisects the country, and the Russian border. An overwhelming majority of those people want to remain part of Ukraine and would surely resist a Russian occupation.

Furthermore, Russia’s mediocre army, which shows few signs of turning into a modern Wehrmacht, would have little chance of pacifying all of Ukraine. Moscow is also poorly positioned to pay for a costly occupation; its weak economy would suffer even more in the face of the resulting sanctions.

But even if Russia did boast a powerful military machine and an impressive economy, it would still probably prove unable to successfully occupy Ukraine.

One need only consider the Soviet and U.S. experiences in Afghanistan, the U.S. experiences in Vietnam and Iraq, and the Russian experience in Chechnya to be reminded that military occupations usually end badly. Putin surely understands that trying to subdue Ukraine would be like swallowing a porcupine. His response to events there has been defensive, not offensive.
