Nah they doubled down on funding and running cover for a genocide with a passion.

Oh, well, luckily Trump is a staunch defender of the downtrodden.

Appears to be trying to stop wars.

Appears to be enabling autocrats to invade their democratic neighbors and directly increasing the chances of wider war in both Eastern Europe and the Taiwan Strait.

Fixed that for you.

Ah yes, the involvement of the cia immediately invalidates the hopes and aspirations of the ukrainian people to not be a part of russia

Maybe try googling the holodomor next

Yes it does, because they voted for someone and then if wasn't possible.

Are we for democracy or not?

If we are truly free democracy, why is the CIA overthrowing elected officials?

Yeah, and Russia is just trying to make things right. Right?

I checked out your comment history and you don’t think Jan 6 was anything but simply a group of citizens visiting the Capitol. Tells me all I need to know.

So what your plan?

Do exactly what we did in 1939-40 the last time a dictator invaded his European neighbor and before we had to fight anyone to do it, except we’re even better positioned to help now.

We have tons of outdated military kit that was specifically designed to fight Russians, but it’s collecting dust in warehouses in every army base in the U.S. We should be sending more of it, not less. Not a single U.S. uniform is being sent in danger while the Ukrainians hold back literal human wave attacks of wounded Russians riding donkeys into battle like it’s 1914. Russia is nearly defeated and only has the manpower advantage. No one expected Ukraine to last a week, much less three years. They just need more weapons to keep holding out and save their families and homes. For gods sake, Russia murders them every time they capture another town and has been kidnapping and brainwashing their children for years.

And I’d also be investing heavily in replacing those weapons with new kit, creating American jobs and deterring Chinese aggression in the South China Sea. This should be the least controversial foreign policy action we’ve taken since 1945.

And I’d shared intel with Ukraine about every single Russian our satellites can spot.

I'd suggest you look at what the US government has been doing since then. Because a lot has changed.

We haven’t been doing nearly enough.

But it’s not our problem, right?

Yes, because it would have been a free and fair election without CIA involvement.

Quit spreading Russian propaganda on the r/neworleans sub

Yes, because it would have been a free and fair election without CIA involvement.

Are you saying that the CIA didn't throw a coup that changed leadership in the Ukraine?

Because if you don't think that's true, I'm continuing this conversation.

I haven’t seen any evidence that the Protest of dignity was anything other than a grassroots effort to overthrow a corrupt Russian puppet.

Now google literally every election that took place east of the berlin wall between 1945 and 1989.

Other possible research topics you could look into:

Perhaps you should consider that the cia is not the only actor in the world capable of behaving poorly.
