On December 23rd, Gallup headlines
<http://www.gallup.com/poll/187931/ukrainians-disillusioned-leadership.aspx?
version=print> "Ukrainians Disillusioned With Leadership," and reports that
"nearly nine in 10 Ukrainians (88%) say corruption is widespread in their
government, and about eight in 10 (81%) see the same widespread problem in
their country's businesses." 8% of Ukrainians now say they "have confidence
. about the national government." 17% approve of the job-performance of
their President, Petro Poroshenko. While the pre-coup
<http://rinf.com/alt-news/breaking-news/head-stratfor-private-cia-says-overt
hrow-yanukovych-blatant-coup-history/>  President, Viktor Yanukovych, was in
office, 2010-2014, that figure had been averaging about 23%, and was never
as low as Poroshenko's is now.

Gallup reports, "fewer Ukrainians now say their leadership is taking them in
the right direction than before the revolution," but that statement calling
this coup
<http://stormcloudsgathering.com/the-ukraine-crisis-what-youre-not-being-tol
d>  a 'revolution' embodies the propaganda-lie of one of Gallup's main
clients, the U.S. government itself, which calls the U.S. coup in Ukraine in
February 2014 a "revolution," when every honest and knowledgeable person now
knows that this U.S. government claim - that it had helped install democracy
instead of having ended it in Ukraine on 20 February 2014 - to have been a
lie. Even the founder of the "private CIA" firm Stratfor has called the
overthrow of Yanukovych
<http://rinf.com/alt-news/breaking-news/head-stratfor-private-cia-says-overt
hrow-yanukovych-blatant-coup-history/> "the most blatant coup in history."
It had been that because it was the first coup to be videoed by numerous
people from many different angles with their cellphones and by TV cameras,
uploaded to the Web by even anti-Yanukovych countries such as the UK's BBC;
and those videos, the best compilation of which is here
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-RyOaFwcEw> , make clear that this was,
indeed, a coup d'etat, no authentic revolution at all, such as the U.S.
government claims.

Furthermore, the EU's investigator who had been assigned to report to their
Foreign Affairs Minister Cathy Ashton about the overthrow, reported to her
that it had been a coup, and that even Petro Poroshenko himself said that
<http://fortruss.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-paet-ashton-transcript.html> "our"
side - meaning the anti-Yanukovych people, had done it. Subsequently,
evidence came to light showing how it had been organized: the organization
for it had started in the U.S. Embassy in Kiev by no later than March 2013
<http://rinf.com/alt-news/editorials/new-video-evidence-americas-coup-ukrain
e-means/> . Then, after all of that preparation, on 4 February 2014, the
U.S. State Department <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSxaa-67yGM> 's
Victoria Nuland gave the final instruction to the U.S. Ambassador in Kiev,
to have Arseniy Yatsenyuk appointed to run the country after the coup, and
he became appointed 18 days later, on 22 February 2014, to run the country
as Prime Minister, until a new President would be elected 'democratically';
but, even the election of President Poroshenko on 25 May 2014 was no
democratic event, because the U.S. government didn't want residents in the
area of Ukraine that had voted over 90% for Yanukovych
<http://observationalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Ukraine_historical_v
s_electoral_2010.png>  to be voting in that election. That area of Ukraine
(which historically had been a part of Russia) was called Donbass, and it
had no say whatsoever in determining Ukraine's President after the coup,
because the new coup-imposed Ukrainian government was already bombing it,
<http://rinf.com/alt-news/editorials/enemies-ukraine-speak/>  starting on 9
May 2014
<http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2014/07/gallup-poll-finds-ukraine-one-countr
y.html> . None of this could have happened without that 'revolution': U.S.
President Barack Obama's very bloody coup in Ukraine.

Here is the man whom the U.S. Ambassador in Kiev, Geoffrey Pyatt, worked
with to organize the coup (or
<http://rinf.com/alt-news/editorials/top-ukrainian-nazi-visits-u-s-congress-
pentagon-seeks-weapons-ukraine/> 'revolution'), the co-founder of one of the
two racist-fascist, or ideologically nazi, political parties in Ukraine. But
Pyatt's appointee (Andriy Parubiy) left the coup's gun-play and military
planning to that man
<http://rinf.com/alt-news/editorials/meet-ukraines-master-mass-murderer-dmit
riy-yarosh/> 's paramilitary friend (Dmitriy Yarosh) who had founded the
other of the two Ukrainian nazi parties.

And then, right after the coup, America's stooge who now was running Ukraine
for the U.S. regime, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, installed leaders of Ukraine
<http://peoplesworld.org/ukrainian-ultra-rightists-given-major-cabinet-posts
-in-government/> 's two rabidly anti-Russian racist fascist or nazi parties
into all of the top internal security and military positions, in order to
carry out what they called the
<http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2014/06/ukraine-international-war-criminal-o
bama-putin-2.html> 'Anti Terrorist Operation' (ATO), or program to
exterminate and drive out the residents of Donbass
<http://rinf.com/alt-news/editorials/obamas-ukrainian-stooges/> . The
prestigious fascist U.S. think tank, the Brookings Institution, urged Obama
to increase the firebombings of Donbass
<http://rinf.com/alt-news/editorials/brookings-wants-villages-firebombed-ukr
aines-anti-terrorist-operation/> , but he decided not to follow that advice,
at that particular time.

Obama wants ultimately to base American nuclear missiles in Ukraine on
Russia's border (much like the Soviet dictator Nikita Khrushchev had
unsuccessfully tried to do to America in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis), and
this coup and ethnic-cleansing (to make the coup-regime stick) is how he
goes about achieving his goal. Perhaps the next U.S. President will succeed
in it. The entire plan had started under U.S. President George Herbert
Walker Bush, in 1990; and every U.S. President since then has advanced it
further
<http://www.globalresearch.ca/how-america-double-crossed-russia-and-shamed-t
he-west/5475209> . The United States, ever since around 1980, hasn
<http://www.commondreams.org/views/2014/04/14/us-oligarchy-not-democracy-say
s-scientific-study> 't been a democracy; it's a dictatorship
<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eric-zuesse/jimmy-carter-is-correct-t_b_79227
88.html> . That's why it does things like this
<http://rinf.com/alt-news/editorials/obama-definitely-caused-malaysian-airli
ner-downed/> .

Back in June 2014, shortly after Poroshenko became Ukraine's President, a
Gallup poll in Ukraine taken for the U.S. government showed (p. 27)
<http://web.archive.org/web/20140611210659/http:/www.bbg.gov/wp-content/medi
a/2014/06/Ukraine-slide-deck.pdf>  a geographical breakdown of the answers
to the question "Tell me whether you think Russia has played a mostly
positive role or a mostly negative role in the crisis in Ukraine. Percent
'mostly positive'". The entire country was broken down into 6 regions there,
which included not only the regions that had voted against Yanukovych in
2010 (such as the May 25th election had excluded) but also the two regions
that had voted the most heavily for Yanukovych, Donbass (which had voted
over 90% for him
<http://observationalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Ukraine_historical_v
s_electoral_2010.png> , and which here constituted the eastern half of the
region called "East," which entire region was shown as having rated Russia's
"role in the crisis in Ukraine" 35.7% as having been "mostly positive"), and
also Crimea (which constituted the entirety of one of those 6 regions, and
which had voted around 75% for Yanukovych, and which answered 71.3% that
Russia's "role" had been "mostly positive"). The only other region where
Russia's "role" had been rated as "mostly positive" by more than 3% was the
area around Odessa, called here "South," where 28.4% of the people rated it
"mostly positive."

All three of the other regions of the pre-coup Ukraine were the regions
where the Presidential election had been held on May 25th of 2014:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_presidential_election,_2014#/media/
File:%D0%AF%D0%B2%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B1%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%86%D1%96%D0%
B2_%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%B7%D0%B0%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B2
%D0%B8%D1%85_%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B1%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%85_%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%B5%D
0%B7%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%>  these were the regions Gallup categorized as Center
(2.4% "mostly positive"), North (1.8% "mostly positive"), and West (1%
"mostly positive"). So, Poroshenko had been elected as the President for all
of Ukraine, but by  only voters in the most anti-Russian half  of that
extremely divided country; and now the residents of two of the other areas
(areas in the strongly pro-Yanukovych half of Ukraine) had tried to separate
from Ukraine and to join again with Russia (of which those regions had long
been parts): Crimea, and Donbass. Crimea was accepted by Putin into Russia,
but Donbass was not.

U.S. President Obama imposed the economic sanctions against Russia for
Russia's having accepted the pleas of Crimeans to rejoin Russia, and for
Russia's opposition to the Obama-imposed government's ethnic-cleansing
program to exterminate and/or expell from Ukraine the residents of the
Donbass region of Ukraine. The same European Union that accepted Obama
<http://fortruss.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-paet-ashton-transcript.html> 's
bloody February 2014 Ukrainian coup have also been accepting his
ethnic-cleansing campaign there
<http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2014/06/ukraine-international-war-criminal-o
bama-putin-2.html> ; and Obama insists upon its being ultimately continued,
notwithstanding his Secretary of State, John Kerry
<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eric-zuesse/obama-sidelines-kerry-on-_b_75273
42.html> 's, internal opposition to it.
