The article below is from February. I think it was posted here already or something similar to it. The cannon in this picture is what stands between Russia and the people of Ukraine. What if this was an American unit in Afghanistan and the same thing happened? Does that bring any brevity to the weight of what Trump did?
TRUMP WANTS UKRAINE TO SETTLE THINGS WITH RUSSIA.
Got that?
Why not choke off their supply of military equipment to make it happen no matter what the people of Ukraine want? Why not? He has secret files and all sorts of lame yes men surrounding him, so why not? Why not give Russia exactly what Russia wants, they gave him the presidency, it is the least he can do, right?
Ukraine has been followed closely in Western Media for I don't know how long. I don't know how many times I read the goings-on in Ukraine, but, I do know for all that reading Ukraine was never settled and they wanted more for their people than Russia could ever offer.
Donald J. Trump HAS NO RIGHT to interfere in the wars or ambitions of a nation of people demanding their freedom from communism and tyranny. He is a problem of monumental dynamics. REMEMBER THAT WORD, DYNAMICS. Because freedom is dynamic and so is tyranny. What kind of dynamic do you want in your life, your children's lives, their children's lives and the lives of all those surrounding your life. What do you want? What are you willing to fight for?
Ukraine clearly has stated 'the idea' of returning to Russian communism is not an acceptable way of life. And Trump cut off their supply of anti-tank weapons.
War is not just a faraway problem that occurs for stupid reasons. It is not a fire to be extinguished. It is a line in the sand to what a nation of people are willing to state is their claim to quality of life. War is real. War has to be respected. The way out of war is peace and Ukraine has already tried to settle a peace with Russia and Putin's "Russian People in Eastern Ukraine" broke two treaties. What is Ukraine supposed to believe, the war will end with reasonable treaties? That hasn't happened yet and MAYBE it never will because Trump is still pulling strings for Russia because he defaulted on loans backed by oligarchs in Russia.
Now. How serious is this?
The estimated death toll also includes 4,000 members of Ukrainian forces
Kyiv - Some 13,000 people have been killed, (click here) a quarter of them civilians, and as many as 30,000 wounded in the war in eastern Ukraine since it broke out in April 2014, the United Nations says.
The estimated toll includes more than 3,300 civilian deaths, the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said in a document dated February 25 and provided to RFE/RL the same day.
It comes as the simmering conflict between Russia-backed separatists and government forces approaches its sixth year, with little progress toward the implementation of a Western-brokered cease-fire and political-settlement deal known as the Minsk Accords.
"OHCHR estimates the total number of conflict-related casualties in Ukraine...at 40,000-43,000" from April 14, 2014 to January 31, 2019, the statement said, including "12,800-13,000 killed."
The estimated death toll includes 3,321 civilians, among them the 298 passengers and crew members who died when Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 was shot down on July 17, 2014 en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur....
