There's no fundamental difference between Russian and western oligarchs having influence over Ukraine.

That's a non sequitur from the discussion we were talking about.

Yeah, that's not what happened.

I guess it's inarguable since you said it with such conviction.....

Claiming that these people represent majority of Ukrainians is the height of intellectual dishonesty

"As for the conflict itself, over 50% sided with the protesters and volunteers. More than half of the respondents discountenanced the authorities and pro-government anti-Maidan protesters. The main adversary of the Euromaidan was Viktor Yanukovych and his closest allies, 71% of the pollees believe."

It's fairly unanimous that the protest were mainly against Viktor Yanukovych.

Not surprisingly, you're once again making statements at odds with the basic facts of the situation.

Wow, such a good argument. How can anyone compete with the sophisticated rebuttal of "not uh".

guess you'll just keep repeating this like baby Goebbels

Hmmm.... I can't refute this fact, I guess I'll just call anyone who disagrees with me a Nazi. Big brain move.

The substack points to plenty of sources to substantiate the argument.

First of all, half of the links in that substack are dead. Secondly, just because you claim a piece of evidence substanciates your argument doesn't make it true. Having a link saying 6 people from America went and observed an election, doesn't mean they were part of an overall conspiracy to overthrow a country. Especially considering the people in that country attribute the actual rebellion as a response to Yanukovych sicking the police on a peaceful protest.

I'm not attacking the "evidence" in the substack, I'm attacking the overall narrative that run counter to reality.

Nobody said they're solely responsible for regime change.

You haven't offered any other reasoning.....

to put more effort into your trolling to make it less transparent at least.

Lol, anytime anyone disagrees with you it's trolling.

US is capitalizing on it and has done so since 2014.

By taking away the wealth of the oligarchs who supposedly handed over power to the US in the first place? Sure.

Maybe learn a bit about the subject you're attempting to debate as not to make a clown of yourself in public.

Man, you really are just a broken record. What is your obsession with clowns?

Why is it that all Russian nationalist argue in the same exact way?

You should really learn what non sequitur means if you insist on using it.

I guess it’s inarguable since you said it with such conviction…

And provided you with a sourced reference detailing the situation. But hey why acknowledge that when you can just spew more bullshit?

It’s fairly unanimous that the protest were mainly against Viktor Yanukovych.

Protests by whom?

Wow, such a good argument. How can anyone compete with the sophisticated rebuttal of “not uh”.

Literally just described your side of the thread here haven't you.

Lol, anytime anyone disagrees with you it’s trolling.

Nope, just people who spew nonsense as a form of argument.

By taking away the wealth of the oligarchs who supposedly handed over power to the US in the first place? Sure.

Last I checked Blackrock owns large chunks of Ukraine now, but do go on.

Why is it that all Russian nationalist argue in the same exact way?

I could ask you why liberal trolls all have the same script too.

Lol, not even trying anymore. That's cool, projection is a helluva drug.

could ask you why liberal trolls all have the same script too.

Yes, everyone who is critical of a pretend campist is a liberal..... At least you're not even denying that you're just a Russian nationalist.

Have a good one
