Provocations began in 2003, accelerated in 2007, and then reached a peak in 2014 when American Victoria Nuland overthrew the elected government of Ukraine with US dollars, media, other assets...and the full backing of the US State Department and USAID.
Most of the media celebrated this. One outlier journalist wrote the following article a decade ago:
“Having masterminded the coup in February against the democratically elected government in Kiev, Washington's planned seizure of Russia's historic, legitimate warm-water naval base in Crimea failed. The Russians defended themselves, as they have done against every threat and invasion from the west for almost a century.
“But Nato's military encirclement has accelerated, along with US-orchestrated attacks on ethnic Russians in Ukraine. If Putin can be provoked into coming to their aid, his pre-ordained "pariah" role will justify a Nato-run guerrilla war that is likely to spill into Russia itself.” #JohnPilger https://theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/may/13/ukraine-us-war-russia-john-pilger…
"The one thing Antifa absolutely cannot allow is reasoned debate and polite but firm disagreement. They categorically reject the idea that a Charlie Kirk might engage with the political process, convince and persuade, mobilize potential voters, win elections, and have his policy preferences implemented in a republic of ordered liberty.
"Instead, they use violence in hopes of forcing their opponents to join them in the political gutter. If you hire security to protect yourself, they’ll claim you’re a fascist using armed guards to intimidate your opponents. If you defend yourself when they attack you, they’ll claim you’re a white supremacist and seek to have you thrown in jail. If they murder you in cold blood, they’ll say it was an act of self-defense because your words are violence."

"The resurrection is the pinpoint of my belief that Jesus did rise from the grave so that we may live."
"I worship a God that defeats evil... And we worship a God that wins in the end."
"Faith, quite honestly, is the true mark of a Christian life."
"The Bible is not up to date. It’s ahead of time."
“A man may be as poor as Lazarus, as hated as Mordecai, as sick as Hezekiah, as lonely as Elijah, but while his hand of faith can keep its hold on God, none of his outward afflictions can prevent his being numbered among the blessed.”
Charles Spurgeon
