A short to the point Synopsis: WHO STARTED THE UKRAINE WAR!

Hal Turner Analysis

A very truncated, short-and-sweet of the story

It was the United States that began spending about five billion dollars to provide “aid” to the Ukrainian people, with the intent to induce Ukraine to “leave the Russian sphere of influence and come into the European Sphere of Influence.”

After spending all that money, the US and the EU asked then-President Viktor Yanukovich to exactly that: Come into the European sphere of influence.   He had to talk about it with his government people, Ministers, Business people and the like.

When the date arrived for Yanukovich to decide, he told the US and the EU “Thanks, but no thanks.  Ukraine will remain with Russia.”

That was an answer neither the US nor the EU were willing to accept.

Within weeks, protests began inside Ukraine, funded by cash money coming out of the US Embassy in Kiev.   At one point, during the height of these troubles, upwards of one million US dollars per DAY were coming out of that Embassy, to foment, facilitate, and finance the trouble.

Things got so violent, so bad, that Yanukovich fled the country and the Ukraine government collapsed. And who was right there to finance a new government, favorable to the West?  The US and the EU.

We installed a puppet government in 2014; and that’s when the real trouble started.

The new government began massing troops against the two eastern-most states (Oblasts) Luhansk and Donetsk.  That was where Yanukovich had most of his support and that is where the people are mostly Russian.

The Ukraine Army started shelling and firing mortars at the civilian populations in those two states.  The local state militias fought back.

Seeing all this tumult, the people of Crimea held a public referendum asking the citizens if they wanted to seceded from Ukraine, and return to Russia.   You see, Crimea had only been part of Ukraine for about 55 years.  Crimea was “given” to Ukraine by Nikita Khrushchev of the Soviet Union.

The people in Crimea voted in a Referendum monitored by the United Nations.  They voted overwhelmingly to secede from Ukraine and return back to Russia.  It was a vote the US and the EU refused to accept.

The US and EU called the vote “invalid”  and outright lied to the world, saying Russia had illegally “annexed” Crimea.  It was all lies.  Deliberate, malicious lies.

Things went downhill fast from that point.  I will not restate that history but suffice it to say, this – and much mor – cause Russia to have to enter Ukraine to protect Russian national security.

You see, the plan in the US and EU was cunning: They wanted Ukraine to join NATO so they could place American missiles on Ukraine soil.  Those missiles would have a five minute flight time to Moscow and about a ten minute flight time to Russia’s nuclear missile silos.

Russia told Ukraine “You signed the Budapest Memorandum promising to remain neutral.  You cannot now go join in a military Bloc which is an enemy of Russia.”

Ukraine replied “We are sovereign, we will do as we choose.”

Russia responded “If you join NATO and put American missiles with a five minute flight time to Moscow, no country in the world can defend themselves from that.  It would be an existential threat to Russia.”

Ukraine responded “We are Sovereign, we will do as we choose.”

On February 24, 2021, Russia called Ukraine and told them “You have five hours to publicly announce that Ukraine is not joining NATO.”   Then-Ukraine-President Zelensky called the British Foreign Secretary and the US State Department.   Both told him “Ignore Russia.”

The five hours went by and, hearing nothing from Ukraine, Russia waited two more hours, then sent its troops in.

THAT is the very truncated, short-and-sweet of the story.
