should Blinken recuse himself from the ukraine thing?

You have a fundamental lack of understanding of how connected Jewish immigrants from Europe feel towards the country their ancestors came from.

you don't think there's grudges that maybe are the reason behind a lot of the color revolutions going on there?

As a descendant of people from Ukraine (among quite a few other countries) - please do explain.

Long before the russian revolution there was a lot of conflict in eastern europe with things like serfdom, pogroms, cossacks and various other things. Although a lot of them eventually ended up in Israel, the united states or in western europe, I'd guess that the majority of jews worldwide lived in eastern europe circa 1860 and there was a lot of conflict between the jewish and orthodox populations in general. It was around this time (late 19th, early 20th century) that a lot of them came over to the united states.

Understandably, there are grudges toward eastern Europe after what happened 120ish years ago and more recently the expulsion of the oligarchs from Russia around twenty years ago. Putin (as well as Orban and the polish government) seem to be a resurrection of the pre-1917 governments in those countries and a threat to the kind of neoliberal/NGO/megacorp technocracy that they are increasingly trying to implement in the united states. So as a result you see a lot of color revolutions going on in that part of the world like Ukraine and Belarus. I also suspect that there have been talks (but never acted on) of doing color revolutions in Hungary and Russia also.

Oh, you're one of those people who think protests can't spontaneously materialise in corrupt regimes, unless they have the backing of neoliberal US and it's globalist Jewish backers. Got it.

ok so with the hindsight of a year - is it any more obvious that zelensky is a kind of puppet of what I call the "neoliberal/ngo/megacorporation technocracy"? Like blackrock basically said he would be helping rebuild ukraine. If that's not a red flag, I don't know what is.

I was going to comment something similar to the poster above, but then I remembered my great-grandfather was born in Ukraine, which I guess means I'm a part of this global neoliberal pro-Ukraine conspiracy too. You got me.
