There are so many links and so much proof it makes a person wonder how any democrat who despises the neocons and the Iraq war they lied us into would even attempt to whitewash their work in Ukraine.

I will agree that the 5 billion mentioned involves a mix of programs not necessarily targeting 'regime change'. But focusing on that figure fails to include many other parts of the effort, such as the work of the international republican institute.

Hell, in the first "maidan", yushenko (the man brought to power) was married to an American neo-con and they both were involved with neo-con institutes. The links are patently obvious to all except the mainstream media.

To understand the events in Ukraine you must first understand the "Orange Revolution", the first "maidan", and it's neo-con connections
