"In 2006 US Marines went to Crimea to prepare for a joint NATO exercise. Unexpectedly, thousands of protesters attacked them throwing Molotov cocktails with diesel fuel and rocks, hitting Marines. The Marines were stranded hunkered down dealing with the gigantic protests against them.
As a result the joint exercise was called off. President George W. Bush had to cancel his trip. The demonstrations were organized by the Party of Regions which was paying Trump Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort $20 Million dollars to advise them on political strategy.
Ukrainian officials and former US diplomats are convinced Manafort knew about and possibly helped plan the anti-American protests that resulted in attacks on US Marines. It appears that Manafort was being paid to work against American interests. Fast forward to the present it looks like he is at it again"

(68,589 posts)My Dad was a Medic in Korea (married late but the best dad ever). My brother was a Marine. My older sister was one of the first women Marines...she achieved the highest medal, one can get in peacetime. My niece and two nephews are serving in the Air Force (niece) and Navy (two nephews). If this man did this and caused injury and/ or death to American service people, he needs to be charged with treason and executed..He is a damned traitor.
