Agree. I have not seen much written about the visit of Andriy Yermak to the White House the other day. Would be fascinated to know what was discussed / how the discussions went.
So he's a Russian asset, admirer of Putin, who laundered over a billion dollars in money from Russian oligarchs and mafiosi. What else could have been expected?
What did it for me was Trump's plan to shut down cyber command, leaving us wide open to attacks without our defense or even knowledge. He went in a jump from useful idiot, over Russian asset, to Russian Agent.
Today grumpy old men made it clear that they stand with Ukraine's far-right thug regime, where elections have been canceled and all political parties (except one) have been "suspended."
Ukrainians should thank Putin’s not thuggish at all and perfectly democratic regime for invading, massacring, raping and pillaging them, shouldn’t they?
You are peddling a false narrative. Ukraine re-ignited the frozen Donbass civil war in February 2022, and Russia retaliated.
Ukrainians are being controlled and abused by the IMF and the NATO countries that collectively control the IMF. The IMF has demanded (going back to 2015) that Ukraine re-conquer the breakaway Donbass republics, and the NATO countries provide all sorts of weapons and training, so stupid Ukrainians will keep on killing themselves fighting Russians. And then there are the neo-Nazi NATO stooges , the enemy within:
"There are neo-Nazi pogroms against the Roma, rampant attacks on feminists and LGBT groups, book bans, and state-sponsored glorification of Nazi collaborators. These stories of Ukraine’s dark nationalism aren’t coming out of Moscow; they’re being filed by Western media, including US-funded Radio Free Europe (RFE); Jewish organizations such as the World Jewish Congress and the Simon Wiesenthal Center; and watchdogs like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Freedom House, which issued a joint report warning that Kiev is losing the monopoly on the use of force in the country as far-right gangs operate with impunity. Five years after Maidan, the beacon of democracy is looking more like a torchlight march."
Zelensky was elected with overwhelming support, with a promise to bring peace to the Donbass. This led him to public conflict with the neo-Nazis, and this led to his capitulation, abandoning the "Steinmeier Formula" for implementing the 2015 Minsk Agreements, and embracing Ukraine's military buildup toward re-igniting the frozen Donbass war in February 2022. See "How Zelensky Made Peace with Neo-Nazis": https://consortiumnews.com/2022/03/04/how-zelensky-made-peace-with-neo-nazis/
By embracing the neo-Nazi agenda of continuing to fight in the Donbass, Zelensky simultaneously embraced the IMF imperative to re-conquer the Donbass. I have not seen proof that the money from the 2014 IMF loan that Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoysky embezzled was the same money that Kolomoysky used to fund the neo-Nazi Azov group. However, Kolomoysky also funded the rise to power of his protege Zelensky.

That link is to a mirror site; the original link no longer shows up in a google search. (Zelensky's public pledge to keep all of Ukraine's promises to the IMF also no longer shows up in a google search.)
For whatever it's worth, I have a Master's degree in history; I am trained to sort through conflicting sources and arrive at my own assessment of what is really going on. I am pleased to share my sources and explain the reasoning behind my assessments. I am an American, of primarily German/Swiss ancestry. Politically, I am an old-school Democrat in the tradition of my grandmother's fourth cousin Franklin D. Roosevelt, who passionately hated British imperialism. What we have done to Ukraine, using the IMF as our colonial office, is every bit as vile.
"Far-right thug regime" is just laughable, coming from an account carrying water for Putin's Russia.
Ukraine's elections have been postponed, not canceled, in accord with its constitution, and with the approval of the Verkhovna Rada, which voted on this in the first year of the war and again earlier this year. Ukrainians overwhelmingly believe that real elections are not practical while part of their country is under occupation, the rest is under aerial attack, and millions of refugees are in other countries.
Several political parties are active and represented in the Rada, including those led by Zelenskyy rivals Tymoshenko and Poroshenko. There are also many independents.
Anyone who doubts Trump's fealty to Putin is wearing blinders.
Trump is an utter disgrace. Shameful.
I rely on “the duck rule” and this one quacks, waggles its tail feathers on command, and swims.

Looks like Putin got his TACO today, served up by Komrad Krasnov.
SLAVA UKRAINI!!!

Thank you, John. Your utter tosh reminds me that it's necessary to keep doing this work of informing people, 'even' folks like you.
I sincerely hope that you are not a paid apologist for Ukraine's undemocratic far-right thug regime.
I read the IMF's 2015 press release. Regarding Ukraine's thug regime, you might first look at "Neo-Nazis and the Far Right are on the March in Ukraine" from 2019, just before Zelensky's election: https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/neo-nazis-far-right-ukraine/
Here's a key quote:
"There are neo-Nazi pogroms against the Roma, rampant attacks on feminists and LGBT groups, book bans, and state-sponsored glorification of Nazi collaborators. These stories of Ukraine’s dark nationalism aren’t coming out of Moscow; they’re being filed by Western media, including US-funded Radio Free Europe (RFE); Jewish organizations such as the World Jewish Congress and the Simon Wiesenthal Center; and watchdogs like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Freedom House, which issued a joint report warning that Kiev is losing the monopoly on the use of force in the country as far-right gangs operate with impunity.

That is my assessment.
Everything after the apostrophe is a lie.
