He was a puppet.

That was the point.

In response to a poster claiming it was all democratic. Which it wasn't.

We have a tiny bit more then 2014.. it actually goes back to 1994, when we got rid of experimenting on our own civilians and started paying Ukraine to do it for us.(you can't believe that a freshly born country could support itself with no real revenue). Hell California has massive revenue and would flop if it tried. We paid for Ukraine to be "independent" when it started failing/struggling in 1992.

But I agree, being neutral on the subject does allow you to see both sides of the story. It allows you to see things you would miss otherwise. I know half the questions I had I wouldn't of found so easily if I had chosen a side, especially early on before it became a full blown misinfo campaign.

It's all about perspective, sadly when it goes one way for the majority. It just makes a little more sense to spit out the facts to the underdog. Some people seem to take that as a side though. Hopefully one day I will figure out how to state the facts without it looking like I am cheerleading one side or the other.
