Diverting from the typical Western line against "Russia's invasion of Crimea," former Ohio congressman and Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich said it was driven by covert action by the United States.
Kucinich made the comments Tuesday evening while speaking to
Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, arguing American meddling in Ukraine's affairs is what sparked the current situation in the first place and that Ukrainians were being exploited by Western powers.
Asked how he'd handle the tense standoff if he were president, Kucinich said the following:
"What I'd do is not have USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy working with U.S. taxpayers' money to knock off an elected government in Ukraine, which is what they did. I wouldn't try to force the people of Ukraine into a deal with NATO against their interest or into a deal with the European Union, which is against their economic interest.""So, it's the USA's fault that Putin rolled in? We made them do it?" O'Reilly asked.
Comment: Again we see that Western governments and institutions were managing facts on the ground and the public's perception of those facts, before during and after the coup d'etat in Ukraine, throughout the course of which they were in close contact with the Ukrainian coup plotters - both the formal opposition and the hired thugs on the streets.
It's absolutely disgusting how these Eurocrats and Bureaucrats in Washington and Brussels talk democracy while actively subverting it.
Have they no shame?
Apparently not.
