May 2, 2019 May 2, 2019

As a reminder, this story began in 2014 in the aftermath of what we might think of as a US-backed coup in Ukraine. During 2013 the US/EU was negotiating with Ukraine for the country to shift focus to engagement with the West, but in late 2013 then-Pres. Yanukovych suddenly flipped…

July 8, 2015 July 8, 2015

R. Hunter Biden The United States is maneuvering the Ukraine situation so that Western Oil Companies have free access to frack and drill all across the country.  It’s bad enough that the U.S. is toppling a whole government, risking a major war, just to drill for oil, even if the…
