    making it pretty obvious here that you have no idea who Victoria Nuland is and only started paying attention to any of this stuff in 2022

      Oh, I've been following the whole thing for years and know who she is.

      I just don't think that her supporting pro-democratic and anti-corruption reform in Ukraine equates to it being okay for Russia to annex part of a neighbouring country.

        Pro-democracy is when you ban left opposition but not fascists. Anti-corruption is when you have offshore accounts connected to the oligarch who funded said fascists that you used to work for on his TV program

            The Pandora Papers revealed that Zelensky and his inner circle had offshore accounts connected to Kolomoisky. Kolomoisky is an oligarch that owned the TV station Zelensky worked for prior. He also funded nazi militias that couped the government in 2014

        democracy is when you elect zelensky on a platform of peace with russia but he lets the Right Sector and Azov continue to try the ethnic cleansing of eastern ukraine

        Is this a joke? Pro democracy? Anti corruption? When has the US ever stood for that outside of propaganda purposes?
