28. Why is the US supporting the fascist putsch in Ukraine?
Mon Jul 21, 2014, 03:05 PM
Jul 2014

I don't support US policy toward Ukraine. It appears that Yanukovich was toppled in a fascist putsch.

I still want to know who hired the black-hooded snipers that caused death and chaos in Kiev, leading up to the departure of Yanukovich. I'm deeply disappointed in John Kerry and the government of the US for their unquestioning support of the neo-fascists in Kiev.

I don't believe a word said by the Kiev regime. Not that I think RT is a better source.

LOTS of people are hiding what is going on in Ukraine. Including Putin AND Obama AND CNN et al. What are they all afraid of?

What is the truth here? I sure don't know. I'm not trusting what I'm hearing from pretty much anyone.

It's a lousy situation all around, and I'm watching it all in dismay. The people of Ukraine seem caught between an ugly rock and a nasty hard place. I feel for them.

The anti-Putin talk reminds me of the fury to "Get Saddam! Get Saddam!" In the run-up to Iraq War I and Iraq War II, there was a frenzy of talk about getting Saddam.

It's scary and depressing to see this "Get Putin" frenzy. The last thing our planet needs is a new war, hot or cold, between the U.S. and Russia.

We should be working together to try to preserve our planet as livable for the human species and our fellow creatures. Humanity has no time or people or energy to waste on pointless wars.
