That particular moment when Victoria Nuland, in 2016, was bragging to the US Congress about how thoroughly Washington had taken over Ukraine after the 2014 coup.
She spelled it all out without shame:
🔴US operatives embedded in a dozen Ukrainian ministries.
🔴American-trained cops patrolling 18 cities.
🔴The US Treasury gutting 60 Ukrainian banks while sparing depositors to keep people quiet.
🔴Hundreds of millions of dollars funneled into molding Ukraine’s military.
Let's cut all the crap,this wasn’t "assistance", it was a takeover dressed up as aid.
"Unprovoked"
😂😂😂😂

All wars are bankers wars 👍😉
Did you know in 2014, Ukraine needed a loan?
There were two offers on the table:
🔴 The IMF dangled $15 billion,but with strings attached:
-Scrap the ban on private land ownership.
-Slash pensions and fuel subsidies,classic austerity.
🔴 Russia also offered $15 billion.
No strings, no neoliberal gutting of the economy.
President Yanukovych picked the Russian deal.
So what happened?
Washington backed a coup, ousted him, and installed a new puppet regime.
Then the new government bent the knee to the IMF.
Signed off on austerity program and opened the door to privatization.
Now, massive chunks of Ukrainian land,about a third, are in the hands of foreign giants like BlackRock.

In 1984, Paul Newman took the watch off his wrist and handed it to a young man who'd just told him he didn't own one. Thirty-three years later, it sold for about $17.8 million.
It was his Rolex Daytona, a gift from his wife, Joanne Woodward. It was probably worth a few hundred bucks at most at the time. On the back, she'd had it engraved "DRIVE CAREFULLY ME" on three separate lines, because he raced cars and it frightened the life out of her.
Newman wore it every day for years. Then one summer, his daughter's boyfriend, James Cox, was rebuilding the family tree house when Newman asked him the time. James said he didn't know and didn't own a watch.
So Newman took the Rolex off his wrist and handed it over:
"If you can remember to wind this each day, it tells pretty good time."
No photographers present, no fuss, just a spur-of-the-moment gift to his daughter's boyfriend.
In 2017, James sold it for about $17.8 million, a world record for a wristwatch at the time. He then reportedly donated a large portion of it to the Nell Newman Foundation, Newman's daughter's charity.
That was typical Newman. Newman's Own, the food company he founded, gives all its profits to charity and has handed over hundreds of millions. He was also known for giving privately, without letting anyone know it was him.
What a great example. Anyone can be generous with a camera on them. A true gentleman does it when no one's watching.
