That doesn't mean the Obama administration is full of teabaggers.
They were able to get into the cabinet because dozens of Party of Regions members left to go live in Russia (they were all a bunch of criminals) and the Communist Party completely abstained. If it wasn't for that they would not have even been in the government. The Party of Regions and Communist Party purposefully abstained (rather than voting down) their cabinet appointment because they need this as a talking point.
It's largely irrelevant.
Maidan was a grassroots, largely civilian, largely anti-violent protest movement. The oligarchs in power tried to shut it down by passing an anti-protest law drafted in Moscow. Nuland, Powers, they hopped on board literally after that law was passed, because any analyst worth their salt knew that once you do that, you fall. Mubarak is a classic example of this. So, oh, far be it for the US to send support for a movement that is in our interests. A movement that had been in the streets throughout the winter for months protesting against the oligarchs in power.
It's just mind boggling how easily you can dismiss the movement of those protesters. As if Nuland or Powers has the magic puppet mind wave devices to totally control the entire movement.
I don't have to believe a damn thing out of Kiev or DC. I can make up my mind with the evidence that social media has provided. I can figure out what makes sense and what doesn't make sense. I can sift through lies and truth. It is unquestionable that the rebels shot off a Buk and downed MH17. Anyone telling me to "wait for evidence" is just white washing. Just like on 9/11, I saw the plane hit the building, I didn't have to wait for an investigation to tell me what happened.
