Jiri and Leni Valenta: Donald, replacing Manafort is not enough
Donald Trump, Ukraine is a more important issue than you may realize. So I’m going to give you the best advice I can, based on over 40 years of scholarship and experience! Paul Manafort is a good manager but he is unfortunately tainted by his former association with former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych. A Putin puppet, Yanukovych even outdid Hillary for corruption. He stole millions from his people, while keeping a private zoo in his palatial residence. In 2014 his practices evoked peaceful revolution. When pro-Yanukovych snipers shot into a crowd of demonstrators, the revolution turned bloody. Yanukovych was overthrown in a popular revolution by the Ukrainian people-- not an illegal coup organized by the West as Mr Putin maintains.
