The former Hawaii congresswoman delivered a full-throated call to vote for Trump—a man she had once tried to run against as a Democrat.

      And who was president of Ukraine while that was happening? Viktor Yanukovich, pro-Russian stooge and convicted traitor.

      Now, why would a pro-Russian Ukrainian be giving Russia cover to invade Ukraine? I’m sure we’ll never know, but maybe there are some falsehoods we can flag and eliminate from consideration.

        No, it was Petro Poroschenko, the pro-European billionaire installed as president by an American-backed coup.

          Russia invaded the Donbas in April 2014. Poroshenko didn’t become president until June.

          Jesus, you all don’t even know your own history.

              Yes, at which time Russia had been illegally invading the Donbas for about 7 months. Try and keep up.

                So you agree that Poroschenko was president at this time.

                Because you just claimed it was Yanukovich (and got snotty with me for correcting you).

                Try and keep up.

                Keep up with what? You’re the one who was wrong.

                I think you’re confusing Crimea with the Donbas. Those are two different things. Russia invaded Crimea in 2014. Russia didn’t invade Donbas until 2022.

                This story is about Donetsk, which is in the Donbas.
