Putin puppet Trump occupying the White House, elite capture of the GOP, both impeachments, and the insurrection at the Capitol were all consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Despite this, the press has maintained a news blackout on Russia’s war in Donbas for seven years.
Trump has been a Russian asset since the 1980s. Russia launched the Trump-for-President active measure and in 2015 reassigned "grey cardinal" Paul Manafort from Yanukovych and Ukraine to the American theatre of operations.
The Republican Party was the most corruptible of American political parties and Russian active measures were used to make the GOP an American version of Ukraine's Party of Regions – the party of Yanukovych. Russia completed elite capture of the GOP by the time of the RNC in 2016.
Trump committed crimes and treason in advancing Russia's "dirt on Biden in Ukraine" fabrication. That led to his first impeachment. Trump committed crimes and treason by instigating a violent insurrection against American democracy. That led to his second impeachment.
#RussiaInvadedUkraine in 2014. At the start of the war Russia organized violent mobs to storm government buildings in the south and east of Ukraine. The mobs were zombified by disinformation, guided by agents and had inside help.
In 2021 the same tactics were used at the Capitol.
Russia is waging war to destroy the independence of the Ukrainian nation and to absorb it into the "Russian World." Russia's war against American democracy is an extension of that war.

Ignoring #RussiaInvadedUkraine is dealing a grievous wound to the American way of life.
