Of course. Nobody has any agency except British, American and Israeli people.

Every protest, every independent action, literally every single news story ... is directly due to British, American or Israeli action.

In that case we should allow foreign governments to advertise on Facebook whatever they want and not be concerned about them swaying voters.

Are you arguing the protests did not happen? That they did not happen as reported? That they did happen as reported, but it should not have been reported?

What is your point?

Look at their comments. They’re almost certainly a Russian propaganda account, or someone who has been brainwashed by them.

The z in the username feels like a clue.

I'm sitting waiting for my hotel room to be available in Glasgow Scotland today next the a giant BBC headquarters where I read a bunch of anti BBC protest art on the connecting bridge. There is a certainly a visible anger with BBC reporting. But I agree with you that while being funded this is incredibly factual reporting.

This students are brave and deserve a government free from the regime but a government also of there own making

I always found it kinda tragic (in the greek literature sense) how Ike's ability to partner well with the British was both the source of his ascent and the biggest black mark on his legacy.

Same vibes as folks whining about the US being behind Euromaidan in Ukraine (the US was not).

Nope, folks, people really do not like being oppressed or lied to, and will on occasion let you know that in dramatic fashion.

Nuland confessed to spending 5 billion USD on Ukraine. She was caught on camera distributing cookies and sandwiches to the rioters. She was caught on tape discussing the next Ukrainian govt. And dissing the EU.

US being behind something (pulling the strings) is way different than what you're talking about here, really you're just proving my point.

How is it different? And I've lost track of what your point was in the first place. Unless it was to dodge responsibility for your government's illegal actions and war crimes.

Your language is unnecessarily inflammatory and seem unrelated to this, unless you think the US committed war crimes in Ukraine?

My point is: Ukraine does not want Putin to consume them. It isn't the US using Ukraine, it is Ukraine asking for help. Putin's agents infiltrated Ukraine and Ukraine kicked them out (yes with intelligence and money given by the US and others).

Do you see the difference?

Ok but what if Marx was wrong?
