asthfghlWe've all talked and heard tons about the impeachment procedure against Donnie-boy, so I'm not gonna bore you with this stuff.
My focus here is on the Ukraine, and the consequences for that country. Because the West, mostly inspired by the EU and US, essentially pushed the Ukrainians towards their current predicament when they vowed support for the Orange Revolution, attempting to drag the Ukaine out of Russia's sphere of influence. They promised a EU and NATO path for the Ukraine - and right now, the country is nowhere near that goal. Feeling betrayed much? You do know what happens when a nation starts to feel alone and betrayed, and desperate. Disaster.
Hence, the victory of the new president Volodymyr Zelensky, a Mr Nobody in Ukrainian politics, former comedian and TV person, who was anything but serious until now. Hell, he pretended to play the piano with his dick at some point! He's a guy with exactly zero political experience, and still a lot of support at home (maybe that's exactly why he's got so much support). But now he's in the centre of all this kerfuffle with Biden, Trump, etc. And these are deep waters he's wading into.
