France wants to normalize Putin's invasion of Ukraine, annexation of Crimea & murder campaign on EU soil. No doubt for business interests—public and private.
Crimea is Ukraine. Russian forces are invading Eastern Ukraine. If you begin diplomacy on Putin's terms, you accept what he has done by force and encourage more violence. It is moral capitulation with corruption the only explanation.
It's time to say it like it is. France here, Germany with Nordstream 2, etc, don't want relations with Russia. They want relations with Putin and his criminal gang. By so doing, they perpetuate his dictatorship.

Trump celebrating the brutal Chinese Communist regime is perfect. Republicans bashed Harry Truman for “losing China” at the time, although his strong anti-Communist record is obvious today.
And don’t stupidly praise China’s “economic success” the way CNN is doing today. Just look across the strait to Taiwan if you want a real success story. China’s regime starved and slaughtered millions for the sake of bankrupt ideology.
It’s a foolish and dangerous myth that some places or peoples need authoritarian regimes. The opportunity costs are enormous, the human costs even higher. Saying otherwise is the argument that slaves are better off than free people.

As you watch Trump’s defenders lie, deflect, and distract today and in the coming weeks, remember that they don’t care about being caught in obvious lies. Calling bullshit still means you’re talking about the bullshit, not the facts.
This is part of the “flood not dam” model. They want doubt. They can make up a dozen new lies and new distractions every day while there’s only one truth. Stop chasing them and keep repeating the facts.
Many thought it strange when Putin’s propaganda released many different “refutations” after Russian forces shot down MH17, some even on the same day. But they want to distract, not refute. To make it seem like the truth isn’t knowable.

Trump returns to the scene of the crime of seeking foreign interference and this time he was caught orange-handed. Impeachment is due and the GOP is tied to Trump’s rotting ship. My new op-ed in the @NYDailyNews: nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope…
@NYDailyNews In Goodfellas, Ray Liotta’s character muses about how he always wanted to grow up to be in the mob. “To me, being a gangster was better than being president of the United States.” What a failure of imagination. He didn’t even consider you could be both!
It's fair to ponder how history will judge Trump's GOP enablers, but don't forget to judge them in the present. If Trump isn't removed or constrained, 2020 will not be an honest election. He proved it. My op-ed: nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope…

#Ukraine ex-president #Yanukovych at press conference today mentioned my #Maidan massacre study along with TV documentaries about Maidan snipers by Italian & Israeli journalists (17m). #Ukrainian #media reports omitted his reference to my academic study.
#Ukrainian publication that mentioned it misrepresented my last name & falsely claimed that I told Yanukovych about my study findings. This was done even though his reference to my study is available in press-conference broadcasts of Ukrainian TV channels. dsnews.ua/politics/uchen…
This is latest example of cover-up, censorship & fake news concerning Maidan massacre & my academic study of this crucial case of mass kiling for Ukraine and the world.

The United States expresses its deep concern over the incident in the Black Sea that occurred November 25 as Ukrainian vessels attempted to transit through the Kerch Strait.
Reports that Russian vessels rammed and fired on the Ukrainian ships, injuring Ukrainian crewmen, before seizing three vessels, represent a dangerous escalation and a violation of international law.

1) How can #Crimea be annexed/occupied when it was Russian since before #US existed? When there was no such thing as #Ukraine before Soviet Union? When Crimea was transfered ILLEGALLY TO UA in '56 without any referendum! When Crimea voted to return to #Russia since 1991!
2) Many don't know but it was in #Crimea, that #Russia was baptized into Orthodox Christianity faith in 988. Grand Prince of Kiev, Vladimir was baptized in Chersonesus. voltairenet.org/article182989.…
3) Before the #Russia during the reign of Catherine the Great annexed #Crimea, the Crimean Khanate, a Turkic vassal of the Ottoman Empire took hundred of thousands Russians and other Slavic groups into slavery! #Turkey #OttomanEmpire

#Putin's opening to this press conference suggests the takeover of southern #Syria by Asad/Iran is a model of U.S.-Russia cooperation that should be expanded, and flatters Trump that his summit with Kim [which Putin very much liked the look of] resolved the Korean Peninsula.
On #Ukraine, Putin hints broadly that the U.S. agrees with him that Kyiv's intransigence prevented Minsk's implementation, and then carefully lets it be known Trump brought up the election meddling, an assist to Trump politically, before of course dismissing it.
Trump frames engagement around U.S.-Russian co-operation in WW2, notes that unfortunate Cold War business, then says: "Our relationship has never been worse ... that changed as of about four hours ago." Says he is being politically brave to do what's right. Lambastes media + Dems
