Prof Ivan Katchanovski: Political Scientist at UofOttawa and a Ukrainian.

Statements by US Vice President also corroborate my prediction that US could remove Zelensky because of his refusal of peace deal.

          It is actually common knowledge if you know anything about Ukraine. Most Westerners know nothing about Ukraine and couldn’t even find it on a map, so literally nothing about it except “blue and yellow flag” should be considered common knowledge among them.

          Look up Victoria Nuland and her comments on Euromaidan and succession.

          It’s common among those who have done the work.

          It’s less common among internet users who take positions based on yahoo news of the day.

          Go to google and ask about “nuland pyatt phone call”

          Better yet, go to YouTube and listen to the phone call yourself. spend some time looking at recent elections in Ukraine, and who were preferred US candidates and then perhaps we can talk.

            Ok I did the work 👍 the US and russian have been in a proxy cold war over Ukraine’s future, until shit hit the fan and Russian first annexed Crimea then did a 3 day special military operation that has lasted almost 3 years now.

            Also who the fuck reads yahoo news?

          Sure .

          So just so we’re on the same page, could you - without looking it up - give us couple of sentences on Minsk 2 and why the agreement weren’t signed .

          Or, easier one, can you tell who “Yats” is ?

          No. Of course you can’t. Because your your knowledge of the politics of Ukraine, even recently since just the Euromaidan protests, and US special forces being in the ground 10 years ago, is zero.

          You maybe watch a bit of CNN , a bit of YouTube, and you think that equips you to join a debate on Ukrainian elections and US foreign policy, but it doesn’t. And so you end up ruining your credibility in front of everyone.
