Comment on Ukraine gives award to foreign vigilantes for hacks on Russia
BrikoX@lemmy.zip 8 months agoBy fascist regime, do you mean the Viktor Yanukovych government that was overthrown by the people? Dude was such a pussy that he fled to Russia even before he was officially ousted.

No I mean the current Junta Nazi regime that the US put in place after they overthrew Ukraine’s democracy using literal Nazis from the Right Sektor. All because Yanukovych wouldn’t sell the country for pennies. He was never officially ousted. Obama’s Nazis lost the vote in the Rada and just ignored it anyway. Historical facts.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy the “US puppet” was offered an extraction by the US when the war started, he didn’t take it.
He’s also a Jew, with family members who fought against the Nazis.
Viktor Yanukovych fled and recorded his own official statement of resignation before being impeached and removed. I guess he should have through about that before fleeing like a scared cat. He then turned around and shouted that he won’t leave Ukraine and stand his ground, but apparently that was a lie since he proclaimed that from Rostov-na-Donu in Russia. The vote went down 328-0. One can argue that the acting prime minister might have been different depending on which constitution you look at 1996 or 2004, but the whole point was made moot, by them electing the new PM.
And the idiot didn’t even bother to sell the country, he gave the entire Crimea for free.
Please get your facts straight before teaching history again.

So?
That doesn’t make him getting a Nazi collaborator better. You do understand that it makes him far worse right? He’s regularly pictured standing next to proud Nazis. His bodyguards are Nazis. What do you think these family members would think of that?
The Ukrainian Rada needs 338 votes to impeach a sitting president. They got only 328. Therefore, their ousting of Yanukovych and installing of Arseniy Yatsenyuk was unconstitutional. Of course, the U.S. immediately recognized the legitimacy of these actions. To put it in Victoria Nuland’s words, “Yats is our guy." and “Fuck the EU” etc.
But even if the U.S. was the “helping hand” and the neo-Nazis were the muscle behind the regime change, wasn’t Ukraine better off? Wasn’t it more democratic? No. The economy took a nosedive and the country took a turn for ultranationalism. The country was sold to the IMF by America’s puppet junta government and the rest is more fact based history.
Almost as soon as Yatsenyuk assumed power, he signed the UN’s Association Agreement and took an IMF loan. Just like Yanukovych predicted, the required “shock therapy” crippled the Ukrainian economy. In 2013, Ukraine’s GDP was 190 billion USD. By 2014 its GDP plummeted to 133.5 billion USD. And by 2015 its GDP withered to a diminutive 91.5 billion USD and its inflation ballooned to a hair shy of 50%.
Nazi Dmytro Yarosh and Right Sektor Squadron leader Vladimir Parasyuk had threatened to murder him very credibly. They were murdering innocent people regularly. I don’t know why you think it’s cowardly to flee from them.
