Did the U.S. Carry Out a Ukrainian Coup?

Investigative journalist Robert Parry talks about Russia's move to invade Ukraine's Crimean peninusla and the role of the US and the west in fomenting crisis there

We spent $5 billion to lure Ukraine away from Russia & then said Putin was paranoid.

I don't trust our government, I don't trust other countries governments I don't trust the media.
It's not because I want to be this way. It's because I'm paying attention

Wow ! Listening to this in Feb 2023. Can’t believe this video is from 8 years back. Seems so relevant to what’s happening now.

Now that the western oligarchs have taken over Ukraine's economy the pension for each Ukrainian has been cut from $160 to $80. They'll have to pay for that IMF "loan". The interim government has just granted Chevron a $10 Billion deal to extract the country's vast energy resources. It's all about the expansion of global transnational corporatism.

The US has absolutely no right to question Russia of attacking Ukraine, when they themselves gave no explanation of attacking Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan!

1) Nuland (US), McCain (US), Graham (US) openly campaigning in the streets of Kiev - well-documented fact, Nuland even handing out candy and cookies
*Imagine those were Russians doing the same stuff in your country.*
2) Nuland (US) and Pyatt (US) on a leaked call debating who shall be put in the new government. (The "Fvck the EU!" part was something I could agree on with those two.)
*Imagine those were Russians doing the same stuff in your country.*

This Robert Parry guy didn't miss a point. He was spot on and truthful. Very honest man.

[jakepistolero]

americans should be rewatching this clip all day, every day.

[pierrestober]

RIP Robert Parry thank you for speaking the truth

[rafyselles]

Russia have a military base there long long before all this started

[truthfiction]

Thanks for sharing this interview. It's a vital key to understanding the source of the present crisis.

[musiqal]

Interesting that I am watching this now in 2023. This video absolutely demonstrates the fact that Ukraine was definitely couped in 2014!

[chugalongway]

Close down the US embassy and there would be no more protests.

RIP Robert Parry. Wish you still would be here. Seems like since you are gone, Seymour Hersh has become one of the last real Journalists still alive. Without people like you, we are truly lost.

[dorky]

Thanks, Robert. You are one of the absolute very-best, remaining,  few,  objective, critical, investigative journalists left. The TV-MSM has succeeded in its 65-year conquest in its deception, duping, conditioning, training, mind-control of the masses. Ukraine is an ABSOLUTELY PERFECT EXAMPLE. (Trust me. I'm 78 and been driving a taxi for 48 years in a major city ... trashed the TV in 1970 ... library 785 non-fiction books... and, still-have-an-open-mind, LIKE YOU! Thanks, Robert!)

Finally a report about Ukraine with a sane title. Now, lets see if the content is as serious as the title.

[dannye]

It's sad that great and honest people like him dies. We need more of them. Most journalist nowdays sell their soul for the highest bidder.

The EU should invest 5 billion dollars / euros to make Texas a new state of Mexico. Especially as the south of the USA used to be Mexican anyway.

[milstarac]

Being from Europe (Croatian) l am positively surprised about how many Americans still kept an open mind and didn't fall into the trap of the lies and false propaganda from the side of government and mass media (especially and mostly from democrats!).. Your guest appears to me as a very calm, well - intended and objective gentleman, but also well-informed about geo-political situatuion in Eastern Europe.. Respect!
And l ll quote a part of another person's comment bellow that l completely agree with, which is probably the shortest and best conclusion about this war: It is all about more global corporatism!
So, let s not pretend that it's about freedom, justice, democracy and other "big" words, cause it's not: it s only about money!
But those hypocrite company-bosses and the politicians should once at least ADMIT it!!!

[iamarussianbot]

$85 billion later and US has no interest in Ukraine? 😂
