The CIA in Ukraine


Recommended Posts

Following up on the recent NYT article on the huge CIA involvement in Ukraine, this short segment is a must watch to explain what has been going on there for the past decade.

 

To the useful idiots: remember when you were screaming: NO WAR FOR OIL two decades ago?

However, there are still legacy news sources who claim to be straight, objective news outlets. Think evening news, NYT, WaPo etc..

 

Do you think those outlets are objective and just report the facts?

 

Idiots

Put on your thinking cap.  The story has no idealogical overtones.  The NYT published the story on the CIA's involvement in Ukraine because the CIA wanted the Times to print the article.  No cries or demands to identify the leaker of vital national security info is an obvious clue. The writers are also known agency errand boys.

The question is why at this point in time does the CIA want the public to know about their involvement?

Is it a precursor to some abrupt change in direction?  A CYA action to place blame on previous managers, or something else?  Perhaps a peace deal without US involvement brokered by the Saudis between Putin and Zelensky thst both have had hi-level contact with MBS recently?  One rumor out there now.

Of course the CIA was in Ukraine. They are everywhere, both officially and under (usually diplomatic) cover.

All you supposed tough guys are suddenly like the frickin' Church Committee back in the 70s, shocked (shocked!) to see such things ... which just proves my point that the Trumpies are the new pacifists, the Dems are the new Cold Warriors.

Wuss.

CIA in Ukraine: Why is this not seen as provocation?

An explosive new NYT report shows how Washington needlessly fed into Russia’s worst fears and precipitated the invasion, justified or not

MARK EPISKOPOS

 

The White House’s messaging on the Ukraine war is built around two simple-yet-powerful adjectives: “We are united in our condemnation,” said President Joe Biden almost two years ago in a joint statement with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, “of Russia’s unjustified and unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine.”

 

The “unjustified and unprovoked” line has been used numerous times by a chorus of top U.S. officials and allies, quickly becoming a rhetorical mainstay of Biden’s maximum pressure campaign against the Kremlin.

 

This messaging conflates two important, yet fundamentally different issues. There is little question that Russia’s invasion has wrought a horrific human toll on Ukraine and upended European security in ways that few anticipated prior to February 2022. But it is also not without its context, which includes a litany of grievances that — however unjustified from the perspective of the West — constitute what the Kremlin saw as sufficient provocation to initiate the most destructive war in Europe since 1945.

 

An explosive New York Times exposé by Adam Entous and Michael Schwirtz sheds light on major developments preceding the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. According to the report, the Ukrainian government entered into a wide-ranging partnership with the CIA against Russia. This cooperation, which involved the establishment of as many as 12 secret CIA “forward operating bases” along Ukraine’s border with Russia, began not with Russia’s 2022 invasion, but just over 10 years ago.

Biden wants to support Ukraine so Hunter continues to get paid & doesn't have to move back in with Dad .

 

So that's why Joe got Hunter the hook up with Burisma it's starting to make sense now .

 

Hey Tibs The truth will piss you off !!

Implying that Putin's invasion was at least somewhat justified and a little bit provoked. Oh, please tell: what were these provocations?

I see. We must be more sensitive to a dictator's "litany of grievances" and make sure our allegiances kowtow to him. We must not assist an ally in gathering intelligence about a possible invasion of it's own territory, lest the dictator's behemoth next door takes offense and launches a full-scale bombing campaign against its civilians.

All I can say is: RTFA. I mean the original NYT article, not someone else's take on it.

Here it is. If it's paywalled, well, there's workarounds posted all over the place.

 

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/25/world/europe/cia-ukraine-intelligence-russia-war.html

 

bottom line: Ukraine (with USA and UK critical assistance) did provoke a tantrum in Putin because they thwarted his plan to install a Russian puppet government there. So the noninterventionists may have a point, but if so, the point is this: we should cede the Soviet Union's historical sphere of influence to Putin in a kind of eastern European Russian Monroe Doctrine.

Well, now I can see why you’re so emotional- you believe in a narrative that isn’t even happening…

 

So then I urge you to please watch the video, so you can know what’s actually going on, and you don’t give yourself an aneurism over a false narrative…👍

The video you posted - really a powerpoint of key grabs from the NYT deep reporting - is wrong or deceptive on key points, such as suggesting that CIA operatives were actually on Russian soil.

Again - GO TO THE SOURCE. It is a very well sourced and reported story in (gasp!) the NYT.

You are free to argue your own conclusions after reading it, including whether the US has a key strategic interest in Ukraine and, if not, whether we should just let Russia have it. But at least that would be based on real reporting, not something called "The Crux."

Wuss.

It’s not that we are shocked…everyone knows the illegal activities the CIA gets away with…

 

Our whole point is to just not be surprised if Russia invades a country (who had always been friendly to them) because the CIA orchestrates a coup, in that country, to oppose Russia, in an attempt to diminish Russia’s energy production…👍

 

This whole war is the fault of the American Establishment, and it’s CIA foot soldiers…And I will always oppose sending one penny more, to fund it…

Any more it's hard to know if either just report the news and leave it at that .

 

I quit watching the nightly news quite a while ago then i started watching documentaries where they go in depth with their research to find out all the dirty little details but it got so dirty at times i had to quit watching because the amount of evil people that run this country outside of who is president is astounding !! 

 

P.S. Then when i do post anything with hard evidence or any proof of wrong doing you and BT are usually silent & have nothing to say, the first to reply on everyday happenings that keep people distracted on the hard stuff but the quietest on the real hard stuff that truly needs more people to see what's going on .
