Well, that's just bullshit and not worthy of this list, but let's go back to
the first sentence. The US government certainly did play a role in 2014 if
nothing else than by coopting and shaping popular sentiment in an effort to
undercut Russian influence. Why would Hillary Clinton assign the foul-mouthed
diplomat V. Nuland leading up to 2014. According to Wikipedia's references:
"During the Maidan Uprising in Ukraine, Nuland made appearances supporting the
Maidan protesters.[26] In December 2013, she said in a speech to the US–Ukraine
Foundation that the U.S. had invested over $5 billion on democratic skills and
institutions, civic participation, and good governance in Ukraine since 1991.
She stated that these were preconditions for Ukraine to achieve its European
aspirations.[27][26] The Russian government seized on this statement, claiming
it was evidence the U.S. was orchestrating a color revolution," see Victoria
Nuland's Wikipedia page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y0y-JUsPTU&t=8s is a
video of the Obama's assistant Secretary of State stirring the pot in Ukraine.
The US meddling and Russia's claim that this is solely a US-inspired affair
does obviate the legitimate desires of Ukrainians to be free of Russian
influence over their nation.
