We are on the same page, Aaron. The whole story is now also told in French in my most recent book : Michel Seymour, L'Ukraine, la Russie et les États-Unis. Panique d'un impérialisme américain sur le déclin, L'Harmattan, 2026. Available at Amazon.ca.

Oh, boy Aaron, are you full of shit. Yes, Trump was railroaded vis a vis Russia but this line; “Ukraine’s refusal to implement Minsk, with U.S. encouragement, ultimately helped trigger Russia’s February 2022 invasion.” Exposes YOU as an actual Russian shill. Jesus Christ, how can you sell this tripe? Ukriane was slow to implement the political portion of the accords, but Russia RAMPED UP their violent covert invasion of Donbas and TOTALLY ABNEGATED the security portion of the accords. Russia posed as a mediator while being an undeclared party to the war — supplying troops, heavy weapons, and command (the Debaltseve offensive continued after Minsk II was signed; the MH17 shootdown in 2014 involved a Russian Buk system). Minsk required withdrawal of “foreign armed formations,” which Russia couldn’t honor without admitting it was there. It controlled the separatist entities it claimed were independent. And in 2022 it abandoned the framework outright — recognizing the DNR/LNR as independent, then invading far beyond Donbas. You are what?? An apologist to the slaughter of Ukrainians for Russian imperialism?? The death and dismemberment of 2 million people now for Putin’s hideous lies and false grievances covering his desire for dominion?? Come on, Aaron. Tell me now how poor humane Russia sends missiles into people’s homes, train stations, gas stations, drones vegetable sellers, kills wantonly is defensible, while Ukraine is targeting ONLY logistics, refineries and storage, and shipping that funds the war. Russia is trying to kill children until Ukraine quits. Ukraine is trying to make Russia run out of gas. I can see what side YOU are on. We may agree on policies domestically, but you are legit either a paid troll for the Poodler or just seriously sick in the head. Which is it??

AS a complete unknown Canadian, the Kansas City Times published 2 articles on my activities at the 1976 Republican National Convention 50 years ago, the 1st September 13 with a followup on All Souls Day, November 2, 1976.

The September 13 historical newspaper record published these excerpts from a much longer record for Posterity.

"He came to town for the Republican National Convention and will stay until the election in November TO DO GOD'S BIDDING: To tell the World, from Kansas City, this country has been found wanting and its days are numbered [...] He gestured toward a gleaming church dome. “The gold dome is the symbol of BABYLON,” he said.” [...] He wanted to bring to the Public’s attention an “idea being put out subtly and deceptively” by the government that we have to get prepared for a War with Russia.”

Because of that personal history, when Biden was threatening Russia with Total Economic War, arrogantly dismissing Putin's proposed Draft Treaty on European Security in December, 2021, I went to the OSCE Website setup by the Minsk Accords to record Truce Violations after the US regime change of the Democratically Elected Russian friendly government, installing an anti-Russian that immediately started shelling the majority Russian speaking UKRAINIANS bordering Russia rejecting the US Coup d'Etat.

In the week Before February 24, Truce Violations reached up to 2000 a Day. I saw that US-Ukraine provocation being the cause of the Russian SMO to stop it. US MSM, acting like a 5th Horseman of the Apocalypse didn't inform the American People of those facts.

It's taken 50 years, but the World is waking up to see Americans may hasten “its days are numbered” part of the 1976 Vision, and waits with bated breath.

Welcome to Substack, Russian troll. Now go back to your St Pete basement, working up a lather over photos of dead Ukrainian children. Tell me again how the MILLIONS on the streets in the Maidan were “Russian friendly”. Because Putin was able to buy the corrupt old man days before the EU agreement signing you call Ukraine “Russian friendly?” Oh good lord. You Russians are really something else. Lies inside of lies like nesting dolls. I hope a Flamingo visits your home soon,

There are none so blind as those who have eyes but WILL NOT see!

Yeah, like the dead eyes of the women and children Putin hits with hypersonic missiles as they sleep or walk to school. People like you are truly a cancer.
