If so, what are some misconceptions or seldom known facts?

    Why even bother with elections at that point? Just claim anybody who wouldn’t vote for you is a RuSsIaN AgEnT

      Support for eu trade was high enough that yanukovych campaigned on it. Are you saying that’s not true?

      Also are you saying contracted Russian soldiers weren’t in luhansk and donetsk in 2014 and onward?

        “Yanukoviych ran on trade with EU, therefor it’s OK to violently suppress dissent” is certainly a take.

        Also are you saying contracted Russian soldiers weren’t in luhansk and donetsk in 2014 and onward?

          Misrepresenting my stance and refusing to engage with the points isn’t the win you think it is.

            Just because it’s not framed in the most generous possible way doesn’t make it a misrepresentation

            Lol, who was it that taught shitlibs like you that anyone not immediately agreeing with them is equivalent to “refusing to engage with the points”. I engaged with your points just fine, they’re just bad points.

              Mccarthyism is accusing with little or no evidence. There’s piles of evidence of Russian involvement. Hand waving doesn’t make it disappear.
