I watched the 60 minute interview of Trump and there too they said Russia invaded unprovoked. Here is Politico saying the same shit. Either these journalists are just on the take to put out constant fake news, or they are absolutely stupid and have no right working in media.
Even the Ukrainian press reported that Boris Johnson flew to Kiev to make sure he did not sign a peace deal. Boris got £1 million to introduce the British Military Industrial Complex to Zelensky.
They ignore the Minsk Agreement that the EU signed that was to allow the Donbas to vote on separation. Merkel told the press they never intended to honor that. They were buying toime for Ukraine to build an army to start this war.
Zelensky knew when Russia would invade and he made sure they would for the day before he proclaimed Ukraine would rearm with nuclear weapons. If I recall, we went after Russia and the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 for the same reason.
The Washington Post reported that Zelensky did not warn his people and knew when Russia would cross the border. He told the press if he warned his people it would have cost him $7 billion.
In this instance, it is NATO and the Neocons who have provoked this war with Russia out of vengeance for once being communist. They installed the interim UNELECTED president Oleksandr Turchynov (born 1964) and ordered him to attack the Donbas instantly, beginning the war. He called them terrorists because they wanted separation after Ukrainians massacred Russians in Odessa in 2014. There will NEVER be a genuine peace with Ukraine because NATO controls their leadership, and Trump has to come to grips with this.
It was the American Neocons who instructed the UNELECTED Kiev government to attack the Russians in the Donbas and call them terrorists because they, too, wanted to separate from the Ukrainians who hate Russians and were killing them on the streets of Odesa.
Just as it is coming out that White House staff were not informing Trump of things they did not want him to know, the Neocons have full control of the press and any news outlet that says Russia invade “unprovoked” is being fed by the Neocon press intent on creating World War III.
