Hillary wanted to help Ukraine develop its oil and gas to sell to Europe. This would have cut off Russia and is a big reason that Putin helped elect Trump.

Small wonder Russia colluded with Republicans and placed Manafort inside his campaign. I'll never trust the outcome of the 2016 election. Just 40,000 switched votes over the victory line in three states where rigging an election leaves no evidence?

I mean brainwashed, very white, non-Jewish Russians, that seems to be the strategy. Make a few million people flee and it is easier to control the annexation.
