Ukraine told critics of the pace of its three-month-old counteroffensive to "shut up" on Thursday, the sharpest signal yet of Kyiv's frustration at leaks from Western officials that say its forces are advancing too slowly.
The US was clearly trying to manipulate Ukraine’s efforts from the moment they realized Kyiv wouldn’t be lost in a week. I’m always pleased to see them rebuked. Even better when they are manipulated by their own strings, instead of vice versa.
(Although I’d rather see an end to the bloodshed, and the prevention of a prolonged quagmire that would see expendable workers thrown to the grinder for years to come.)
Sure, but I was referring specifically to the efforts in response to the 2022- campaign. The geopolitical context changed significantly from 2014 and the US’ machinations are likewise organized into a new campaign, so far as I can tell.

Goes back way longer than that, at least to 2014.

Goes back further, all the way to 1953, project aerodynamic. Also CIA backed
Goes back all the way to 882 AD, founding of Kyivan Rus’. Also CIA backed.
What does the CIA have to do with the founding of the three fraternal slavic peoples?
