Yes, Jeff Sachs was instrumental in my understanding of the truth, and therefore, I never supported the war in Ukraine, despite nearly all of my friends blindly doing so. Something felt off about the premise, like it was a proxy war against Russia from the beginning. Sachs and this article confirmed that.
I'm writing my research paper analyzing the two competing narratives for explaining Putin's core motives in Ukraine. This report alone helps me so much. I always appreciate your rigorous citations, and thorough research. Thank you so much for all your work!
I hope that one day soon we can exercise strategic empathy in order form a new foundation of peace with Russia, and move back towards nuclear non-proliferation.
This is a deeply important and well-documented piece. These declassified documents, though released with political motives, inadvertently expose something far more consequential than partisan corruption - the long-standing manipulation of Ukraine’s sovereignty by Washington since 2014 or even earlier.
The details align with what many analysts, from Jeffrey Sachs to John Mearsheimer, have long argued in that the Maidan “revolution” was less a spontaneous democratic uprising than a carefully managed regime change operation designed to transform Ukraine into a strategic outpost for US power projection against Russia. The same dynamic has since entrenched Ukraine’s dependency on Western financing, intelligence, and political approval, effectively erasing the independence it was promised.
What’s most striking is how this pattern mirrors earlier US interventions from Latin America to the Middle East where the language of “democracy promotion” masks the creation of client states serving geopolitical ends. Ukraine became the latest instrument in that cycle, its tragedy amplified by the proxy war that followed.
This is not just about Biden or Trump but about an entrenched system of imperial management. These disclosures confirm what many outside the Western narrative have long understood - that Ukraine’s “democracy” was engineered, and that its suffering today stems from being made a pawn in a much larger geopolitical game.
I mean I am funnier than Dave Smith who is probably who you get all your political opinions from…. Or you could tell me one thing I said that wasn't true
It's funny how the nefarious activity road all lead back to the Clintons-Obama-Biden Democrats, but the left will just scream that it's Trump's and that he is a Russian asset.
Well spoken and spot on Many of us know that it was USA NATO who started the war in 2014 Never the less western politicians and MSM constantly 24/7 tell us that Russia are the aggressors and they unprovoked have attacked Ukraine It’s all a big lie. Russia only protects their borders and citizens against NATOs aggression How long will they keeping the lies running If/when USA withdraw from Ukraine and stop supporting them EU will sit back with the problem and the big bill they can’t afford to pay Trump could actually stop the war if he guaranteed Russia that Ukraine will not be member of NATO and there will not be foreign troops in Ukraine who will be a neutral state But Trump are controlled by the Zionist mafia and the military industrial complex so the war the killing and destruction of Ukraine will continue Even its clear that Russia have won the war long time ago
Kind of like what’s happening with our support of Zionist apartheid Israel in their “war” against Palestinians and other Arab nations we’re told are the aggressors, when we know it’s the other way around. Common denominator??
God how evil of NATO to to deprive Russia of their god given right to invade another country thank God we have informed people like you who will blindly swallow anything their told as long it goes against the mainstream
Most of us who followed this mess knew it was the work of Victoria Nuland and the gang of zionists in the state department
I wrote a fun little paper with a cute title on this subject. I saw right through this from the rip. Seems you did too! https://tommytrouble.substack.com/p/rode-hard-and-put-away-wet

Thank you for the new source! I'll add it to my list of sources.

So Putin is good misunderstood billionaire guy?
What you don’t understand the phrase “imperial management”?
Is bot like talk that?
Russia:
Pressured Viktor Yanukovych into making a list of policy decisions that went against the will of the Ukranian people
Spent a fortune and years of work covertly attempting to subvert any politician that advocated for any kind of relationship with the West
ACTUALLY infiltrated the protests with armed agitators in order create violence
And then sent in a covert military force to invade a sovereign country
Victoria Nuland:
Handed out water bottles to a crowd of people outside of the embassy in which she was posted
Called a politician to relay a message from the US stating it's opinion on the current events in the country (ya know the job of a diplomat)…..
Yes obviously the US is the malicious actor in this situation thank you for this incredible work
Handed out water bottles… thanks for the laugh
I mean I am funnier than Dave Smith who is probably who you get all your political opinions from…. Or you could tell me one thing I said that wasn't true
Democrats have blood on their hands. IMO

And bonus points points for some how including Israel to complete the holy Trinity of conspiracy theories
God how evil of NATO to to deprive Russia of their god given right to invade another country thank God we have informed people like you who will blindly swallow anything their told as long it goes against the mainstream
Roughly the size of Texas, how much have we (U.S./UK/Europe paid per acre for this war with Russia? Why? Greedy money laundering.
Outstanding reporting. Much of this content censored in the past or cast off as conspiracy theory.
We cannot fix or change course without the Truth. Shameful truth.
We all ready knew this!!! CIA 🤬🤬🤬
I thought this was common knowledge, no?
Uncommon knowledge
I knew about this in like 2015! Crazy how people still believe what they read in the NYT
DUH!
Truly unbelievable. No wonder Russia is peeved.
Zelensky it’s a good gig
You didn't need declassified documents to prove that. Victoria Nuland came right out on film and talked about it.
Release the Epstein files!!!!
Well, no kidding. Gee thanks for that trip to the land of obvious I’ve known this for years.
Was this ever in doubt? The script had been in place for quite some time.
