In reply to the discussion: BREAKING NEWS: Russia agrees to direct bilateral talks with former Ukrainian leader Yanukovych [View all]gab13by13
(29,559 posts)9. This thread is Russian propaganda
Putin didn't want to conquer Ukraine by military force. Putin wanted to storm into Kyiv and install a pro-Russian president, that's why he said it would take 3 days.
When Putin invaded Crimea he agreed to hold elections to determine who Crimea wants to be ruled by. Just yesterday Malcolm Nance stated that Putin stuffed the ballot boxes in the Crimean election, the people didn't really want to be governed by Russia.
Yanukovych is a Russian stooge as crooked as a dog's hind leg.
The White House announcing it supports Yanukovych is another public announcement that the United States is with Putin and Russia.
Putin must have shown Krasnov some scary shit in Alaska.
Look, if this is satire, and I guess it is, it isn't that far fetched.

Which Ukrainian leader was Trump in negotiation with to manufacture dirt on Joe Biden?

Yup. The picture and "news at eleven" remark made me suspicious despite the high factual content. It's well done. . . nt

Did it ever occur to you some folks might think this is a factual news account and not satire?
