text: Has anyone considered the reason our country cares so much about these provinces in Ukraine now and not back in 2014 when Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula from them? It feels more like all the corrupt US politicians with family ties to big business and money laundering in Ukraine have their cash flow threatened plus need a distraction from the failing covid narrative as well as something they can spin as biden being strong before midterm elections. Plus with the 20 year meat grinder in the middle east not panning out anymore they need a new outlet to justify overspending to cover up their corruption so why not use russia? The whole thing stinks and we keep buying russian oil during it. It is a smokescreen that is going to ,by design, force russia into the arms of china.
