WORLD'S NEWEST BANKING CRISIS REVOLVES AROUND WORLD'S OLDEST BANK

The political career of Trump was crafted as an act of war by the Russian Federation against the United States, from beginning to end.
The Russians modelled this active measure on the one they first used with Yanukovych in Ukraine. Everything the Russians do through their agent Trump in the U.S. they tried first using their agent Yanukovych in Ukraine. Understanding what the Russians do in their war against the Ukrainian people gives insight into what they’ll do in their war against Americans.
In the end, Yanukovych escaped justice. He has never been punished for the crimes and treason he committed against the Ukrainian people. If Americans are unwise they’ll let Trump go unpunished for the terrible things he’s done to them and to their democracy. They will then have a similar fate to the one Ukrainians have endured.
Trump and Yanukovych are both past their peak of usefulness to the Russians. But useful they were, for the treachery of these two men helped expand the war the Russian Federation is fighting against Ukraine into a global war.
The crimes and treason of Yanukovych stretch over a long period. 2014 was their peak.
The greatest crimes of Yanukovych were ordering the Maidan Massacre and stealing billions of dollars from the Ukrainian state. The greatest treason was appealing to Putin to invade Ukraine and being the figurehead for Moscow’s war.
In January 2014, Yanukovych rammed the “dictatorship laws” through the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine’s parliament. He sent the Berkut riot police, Internal Ministry troops, and organized gangs of thugs known as “titushki” to attack Ukrainians protesting in the centre of Kyiv. They were protesting for a better life, free of corruption, and for Ukraine to reach its rightful place in Europe and the West.
In February 2014,

The story unfolding in the United States with the insurrection at the Capitol is one that’s been told before. The Russian Federation is at war with Ukraine, and its invasion began in 2014 with organized mobs seizing public buildings in Ukrainian cities. Whether they know it or not, Americans have become players in a familiar play.
Here’s the script of Putin at war. The time is the early months of 2014. The place is Ukraine. The conclusion, which is not yet written, will happen in 2021 in the United States.
The cast of characters:
VATNIKS: A vatnik is person completely indoctrinated by Russian disinformation. A vatnik is a zombie, believing the oligarchs who steal are benefactors and the foreign invaders who take the land are liberators. Vatniks make up the greatest number of people in the Russian Federation’s provocations against Ukraine but they are the least important. They’re there to make active measures seem to be something other than what they are. The equivalent of a vatnik in the United States is a “deplorable” or a MAGAt.
TITUSHKI: Titushki are violent, organized mobs, directed to break up any form of public expression the pro-Russian oligarchy doesn’t like. They’re usually under the protection of the police. Titushki were used extensively by the Yanukovych Clan to break up the Revolution of Dignity. They were unsuccessful in Kyiv but in Donetsk they overwhelmed the pro-Ukraine majority. The closest equivalent in the United States are the Proud Boys and other fascist paramilitary organizations friendly to the Trump regime.
AGENTS PROVOCATEURS: These are direct Russian agents, seeded in the mob, covered by the noise of the vatniks, directing the violence of the titushki. They are the fewest in number and the most dangerous. They were in the United States at the Capitol

Олександр Палій, Історія України, Розділ VIII, Параграф 3 (доповнено), 20.11.2020З дозволу автора, пропонуємо читачам доповнену ним другу частину третього параграфу (Революція Гідності та Вітчизняна війна) восьмого розділу (Відновлення незалежності. Новітня доба України) його книги ІСТОРІЯ УКРАЇНИ, виданої у 2017 році.*
Наслідками Революції Гідності стали:
- Відвернення безпосередньої загрози знищення України Росією;
- Відновлення основних громадянських свобод, порушених «диктаторськими законами»;
- Припинення визискування ресурсів країни кримінальним кланом Януковича;
- Відновлення можливостей для реформування країни;
- Відновлення руху України до Європи;
- Становлення України у світовій громадській думці як держави з власною самобутністю, історією та гідністю;
- Зростання самоповаги, патріотизму та солідарності громадян України.
Майдан показав здатність українців до самоорганізації, взаємодопомоги та самопожертви.
Натомість, російське керівництво сприйняло перемогу українського Майдану і втечу Януковича як власну катастрофу. Плани поглинути Україну і використати її ресурси для цілей імперії зазнали краху. Крім того, оббріхуючи Майдан у ЗМІ, Кремль настільки забрехався, що йому було незручно перед власним населенням повертати голоблі назад.
Влада Росії почала операцію зі загарбання Криму. Плани такого нападу було розроблено заздалегідь. Росія вирішила підступно вдарити в момент, коли Україна була слабкою і виснаженою злодіями і зрадою. Їхньою метою було, з одного боку, загарбавши цю українську територію, домогтися підтримки шовіністичної частини населення Росії та відвернути його увагу від власної корупції, бідності й приниження, а з іншого боку — покарати Україну за Революцію Гідності, підірвати її життєздатність та, врешті, підкорити та знищити.
Заздалегідь до Криму було надіслано додаткові спецпідрозділи російських військ та численних членів російських

Протягом останніх тижнів корпорація Майкрософт виявила кібератаки на людей та організації, які беруть участь у найближчих президентських виборах США, зокрема невдалі напади на людей, пов'язаних і з кампаніями Трампа, і з кампаніями Байдена, про це детально написано нижче.
Ми маємо і ми будемо захищати нашу демократію від цих атак та інформуватимо про такі атаки можливих жертв завдяки інструментам безпеки в наших продуктах та послугах.
Факти, про які ми сьогодні розповідаємо, дають зрозуміти, що іноземні спецгрупи активізували свої зусилля, скеровані на листопадові вибори 2020 року, як це й передбачалося, і все це узгоджується з тим, про що повідомляли уряд США та інші аґенції. Окрім того, ми повідомляємо про напади на інші установи та підприємства у всьому світі, що відображають подібну підривну діяльність.
Ми виявили, що:
• Спецгрупа «Стронцій», яка діє з Московії, атакувала понад 200 організацій, зокрема політичні кампанії, правозахисні групи, партії та політичних консультантів
• Спецгрупа «Цирконій», яка діє з Китаю, напала на високопосадовців, пов'язаних з виборами, зокрема на осіб, пов'язаних з виборчою кампанією Джо Байдена, та видатних лідерів міжнародної спільноти
• Спецгрупа «Фосфор», яка діє з Ірану, продовжила атакувати особисті облікові записи осіб, пов'язаних з виборчою кампанією Дональда Трампа
Більшість цих атак було виявлено та зупинено інструментами безпеки, вбудованими в наші продукти.
Ми безпосередньо повідомили тих, на кого було націлено атаки, щоби вони могли вжити заходів для захисту.
Сьогодні ми розповідаємо про деталі цих атак, і там, де ми конкретно називаємо жертв, ми робимо це за їхньої згоди.
Те, що ми бачили, узгоджується з попередніми схемами
