THE ONE
Damn you were spot on
Breh, I don't know much about other things, but I'm a student of politics. I know that like I know the back of my hand.

You spent 10k of your own money to get there and you need to ask for donations for supplies? Why are you being asked to volunteer if they can't even supply you with the necessities you'll need?

My early overview of the situation
This is from January 25th
Manafort Chapter
Meet Paul Manafort.
The year is 2004 and the place is Ukraine.
Paul gets hired by high ranking politicians all over the world.
His job is to make them appear palatable for US consumption.
If you happen to be a third world dictator with human rights violations but really wanted
to invest money in America, then Paul was who you called to clean yourself up.
In 2014, Victor Yanukovych; Ukraine's leader of the
Party of Regions needed an image overhaul so Paulie gets the call.
The Party of Regions was largely considered to be corrupt with ties
to organized crime, loyalty to Russia and looking away from the West.
Manafort was good at his job.
Some even say he was great and now was his time to shine.
Research was done via polling. Manafort found out what the people
wanted to hear and he knew how to get his message across.
One of the first things Manafort did was to make sure that anyone who
spoke on behalf of Yanukovych on TV wore makeup and designer suits.
Makes you wonder if he ever rocked that ostrich skin jacket to any parties in Ukraine...
Yanukovych like "Yo, Paulie...I can get with the Hugo Boss suits but wtf is up with your ostrich jacket?
"The American does not like how I dress! Can you believe that?"
"I think you look great, Victor. I don't know what he's talking about."
"But our boy Manafort says that monkey suit
is your ticket to victory so keep it clean and make sure your goons all get one too."
Meet Yulia Tymoshenkoand Viktor Yushchenko
These two pro-western Ukrainians ran against Yanukovych in 2004 and lost due to election
fraud so there was a second election. But something happened during the elections...
In the run up to the 2004 Election, Yushchenko suffered horrific
disfigurement after he was fed dioxin,
a chemical found in the herbicide Agent Orange while
eating dinner with the head of Ukraine's security service.
Quote - "When I arrived home and kissed my wife the first thing she said was, "Your lips taste metallic"
Yushenko survives. He and Yulia Tymoshenko go on to win the 2004 election in Ukraine.
Manafort's boy, Yanukovych lost this round but he wasn't done yet.
This is the beginning of a ten year relationship between Paul and Yanukovych.
Yushchenko and Tymoshenko continue to make
strides westward in hopes of joining the EU & NATO.
In the meantime, Manafort is busy re-branding
the pro-Russian mobsters for a comeback.
He's gonna repackage this turd and serve it back up for election.
to be continued...

Never underestimate the grifters.
i think i dapped and repped you for that post this morning.
you and i have been on the same page throughout this.
like you, national and international politics are my shyt.
i've been following Ukrainian politics closely ever since Russiagate but i also took two semesters of RU history in college and kept up on it closely afterwards.
this whole situation has me like
i was really trying to get people to pay attention to Ukraine with this thread years ago:
"According Ukrainska Pravda sources close to Zelenskyy, Boris Johnson, who appeared in the capital almost without warning, brought [a] simple message... that even if Ukraine is ready to sign some agreements on guarantees with Putin, [the West] are not."
