How America’s 2014 Coup-Grab of Ukraine Necessitated Russia’s Invasion-Grab of Ukraine Now
This is censored-out information, but is here documented to its primary evidences online via its links, which are sources each one of which you can thereby see and evaluate for yourself as regards its credibility:
Not by mere coincidence is the country to which taxpayers in the U.S. empire have donated around $400 billion during the past three years Ukraine. Ukraine has the nearest border to Russia’s central command (in Moscow, 317 miles away), just as Cuba in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis had the nearest border to America’s central command (in Washington DC, 1,131 miles away). Taxpayers in the U.S. empire gain nothing from this — their national security becomes endangered from it — but no empire is or even can be a democracy, and America itself is unquestionably ruled only for the benefit of and according to the wishes of its billionaires. America’s clear intention is to place a nuclear-tipped missile a mere 5 minutes away from The Kremlin, just as the Soviet Union’s was to place a nuclear-tipped missile a mere 30 minutes away from the White House. Whereas the Soviet leader was willing to negotiate about this in 1962, America’s leaders since 2014 have not been, but have instead pursued a go-for-broke gamble with the intention to conquer Russia.
According to what is allegedly Donald Trump’s 11 April 2024 plan to end Ukraine’s war, “Trump dissuaded Putin from invading neighboring states because his leadership and foreign policies promoted deterrence and peace through strength.” The underlying assumption there is (like the falling-dominoes theory was in support of America’s invading Vietnam during the 1950s to 70s) that Russia is expansionist and America is not. Both Democrats and Republicans assert that Russia is imperialistic and that America is not, though after WW2 ended in 1945, America’s empire has expanded enormously, and its NATO increased from its initial 12 countries in 1949, to 32 countries today, while Russia’s empire ended in 1991, yet NATO took in all of the non-Russian Soviet Union except for Georgia, Belarus and Ukraine, as new American colonies by the time of 2014 when Obama grabbed Ukraine for America’s rulers via a U.S. coup, and NATO also took in all of Russia’s Warsaw Pact colonies: Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Romania; so, unquestionably, the expansionist empire after WW2 has been America’s; and the shrinking — if not ended — empire is Russia’s; and, so, the allegation is clearly false that “Trump dissuaded Putin from invading neighboring states because his leadership and foreign policies promoted deterrence and peace through strength.” That’s mere pretense by the aggressor-nation, pretending to be defending itself instead of to be endangering another (Russia, by way of grabbing Ukraine).
In other words, the allegation of the false assertion is that: Russia’s Government (which U.S.-imperial propaganda refers to as representing only its popularly and overwhelmingly elected and re-elected President, Putin, so as to deceive Americans in order to allege that Russia is a dictatorship, though America itself has actually been conclusively proven to BE a dictatorship) is imperialistic, but that America’s Government is NOT imperialistic. That statement ,“Trump dissuaded Putin” personalizes what was instead actually a matter that’s central to national security — as-if all that was concerned here were two kings: not TWO NATIONS — one of which (the U.S. regime) covets the other (Russia).
Putin represents the people of Russia, but the heads-of-state in America do not (ever since 1945) represent the people of America. Trump’s allegations (just like Biden’s) lie routinely.
Throughout the American empire, its ‘news’-media allege that when, in February 2014, the democratically elected and neutralist Ukrainian President, was replaced with a U.S. selected and rabidly anti-Russian leader, who immediately imposed an ethnic-cleansing program against the residents in the regions that had voted overwhelmingly for the overthrown President, that was a democratic revolution, instead of a very carefully planned U.S. coup. Donald Trump, who pretends to be against America’s Deep State — America’s billionaires, who control NATO’s armaments manufacturers and profit enormously from the empire’s many wars — represents America’s Deep State (the billionaires who control America’s armaments manufacturers) just as much as Biden does.
Whereas the individual who organized America’s billionaires to fund Biden’s 2020 Democratic Party campaign for the Presidential nomination was the former Vice-Chairman of Lockheed Martin, Bernard Schwartz, the very first real achievement of Donald Trump as the U.S. President, was, as I headlined on 22 May 2017, just two days afer the event, “U.S. $350 Billion Arms-Sale to Sauds Cements U.S.-Jihadist Alliance”, which was the biggest armaments-sale in all of history, ever (and which was and is hidden from the public). As I documented on 18 July 2024, “Trump, Like Biden, Has Always Been a Whore to the Deep State”.
The Deep State’s Republican billionaires’ agents push the myth that their fellow agent Dwight Eisenhower was innocent of creating the military-industrial complex (MIC) because three days before leaving office he warned against the MIC, but both Truman and Ike together created the MIC. All U.S. Presidents except Kennedy near the end of his life were agents of the Deep State that Truman on 25 July 1945 initiated under the influence of the Rhodesist Churchill and especially under the influence of Truman’s personal hero Eisenhower.
Putin’s actual speech to his nation explaining why he had decided to invade Ukraine occurred on 24 February 2022, the day of the invasion, and it said:
We can see that the forces that staged the coup in Ukraine in 2014 have seized power, are keeping it with the help of ornamental election procedures and have abandoned the path of a peaceful conflict settlement. For eight years, for eight endless years we have been doing everything possible to settle the situation by peaceful political means. Everything was in vain.
On 17 December 2021, Russia had formally presented, both to the U.S. Government and to NATO, Russia’s national-security demands and proposed peace treaty provisions that have since 1991 (when those promises had been made to Gorbachev) been violated by the U.S. and NATO; and included, in both documents on that date, the core, which was that — despite promises the U.S. Government and NATO had made to Gorbachev prior to his 1991 termination of both the Soviet Union and its communism, as well as his termination of the Soviet Union’s 1955 Warsaw Pact military alliance mirror organization against America’s 1949 NATO military alliance against the Soviet Union (all of which terminations Gorbachev did carry out in 1991), saying that if the Soviet Union and its communism would end, then NATO would not expand “even one inch to the east” toward Russia’s border (those promises by the U.S. and NATO having been rampantly violated by both America and NATO) — and Russia’s provisions in these two draft-documents on 17 December 2021 prohibited further such expansion of NATO, and explicitly prohibited Ukraine (whose border is far closer to The Kremlin than any other nation’s is) to become a member-nation of NATO. These demands from Russia were like America’s JFK having demanded from the Soviet Union, in 1962, that Cuba not receive Soviet missiles — but even more so than back then, because whereas Washington DC is only 1,131 miles (30 minutes of missile-flying time) from Cuba, Ukraine is only 317 miles from The Kremlin — a mere 5-minute missile flight away from decapitating Russia’s central command.
Both of Putin’s documents were totally rejected on 7 January 2022, and this rejection by NATO and the U.S. — and refusal to propose their own provisions, absolute refusal to negotiate with Russia over Russia’s needs in order for Russia to be able to consider America and NATO to be anything other than deadly enemies of Russia — unquestionably sparked Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine; he was compelled by America and NATO to address Russia’s national-security necessities now by force, since America and NATO refused even to participate in diplomatic resolution of these matters.
The key demand on 17 December 2021 in the NATO draft document, was: “Article 6: All member States of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization commit themselves to refrain from any further enlargement of NATO, including the accession of Ukraine as well as other States.”
The only other way remaining for Russia to prevent a U.S. nuclearly-tipped missile becoming placed only 317 miles away from the Kremlin, was for Russia to conquer Ukraine so as to prevent that from ever being able to happen.
For the U.S. regime and its colonies, Ukraine is merely a stepping-stone to capturing Russia. For Russians, Ukraine is, and ever since Obama’s coup grabbed it in February 2014 has been, literally a matter of life or death.
Both of America’s political Parties are rotten to the very core. Both of them represent ONLY the Deep State.

Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
