How quickly the west forgets the Maidan Massacre- Russians didn’t. Nor will they ever forget the Odesa Trade Union massacre by the Ukie Neo Nazis…

The West forgets, but nations like China and Russia do not. Not endorsing them, but just speaking as a matter of fact. For that reason, it is clear US hegemony will die, as we are witnessing. As the West continues to fracture, the “ East” becomes more united every day.

Rewrite:

played a key role in the 2014 Obama-backed coup which toppled Ukraine’s democratically-elected president and set the stage for the world's largest money laundering scheme.

excerpt:

As the seemingly endless supply of cash from Western taxpayers provides a bonanza for arms manufacturers such as Raytheon and Northrop Grumman, it similarly benefits war profiteers like Pashinsky. His company, Ukrainian Armored Technology, “reported its best year ever last year, with sales totaling more than $350 million” — a whopping 12,500% increase from its $2.8 million in sales the year before the war.

Pashinsky is not the only racketeer benefitting from the elimination of anti-corruption measures in wartime Ukraine. Several suppliers previously placed on an official blacklist after they “ripped off the military” are now free to sell again, according to the Times investigation. The outlet downplayed this as an unfortunate, but ultimately necessary measure.

“How quickly the west forgets the Maidan Massacre”

I suspect some here aren’t familiar with the Maidan Massacre. There’s a very good movie on it, and the events that then led to where we are today. So, if one is actually interested in what happened, rather than wanting to airbrush it away, let me know and I’ll post the link.

Oh, they're familiar with it. Trust me, the FR war whores are very familiar with the Maidan Massacre.

Their Captain Ahab obsession with taking down Putin blinds them to reality though.

This is just one example of the many ways that death and destruction in Ukraine is being used to generate huge profits. Zelensky’s popularity before he was “elected” came from his role as a corruption fighter in a popular television series, “Servant of the People.” It is ironic that of all the recent leaders of Ukraine that he has profited more from corruption than all the rest combined.

Scott Ritter is a former United States Marine Corps intelligence officer and veteran of Desert Storm. He served as the chief weapons inspector for the United Nations in Iraq. He is an expert in international relationships and arm conflict. When he began sharing what he knew he became a controversial character after he started being hounded by both various press organizations and various law enforcement agencies and prosecutors. His experience is not unlike the accusations and indictments endured by President Trump. The deep state wants him shut down. Recently he produced a two part video which can be found on Rumble that thoroughly explains who Zelensky is, how he came to power, who put him there, and the immense amount of corruption currently going on in Ukraine.

The information in these videos is difficult to find from other sources because of suppression by the mainstream media and big tech. And Ritter has been villainized by those who want him taken down, but the following two links will share more info about Zelensky and the Ukrainian situation than you will find anywhere else... just be prepared for the onslaught of character assassination and mountain of false media reports that will be used to attack these videos. The info is not really in question so the messenger will be viciously attacked.

There are many good points in this article. Of course, you will never, ever hear about this from your favorite propaganda outlets like CNN, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, NYT, WAPO. After all, they've got a job to do filling up the brains of the little people.

Anyway, the one thing that the article crystallizes in my mind is the absolute perversion that the MIC will go to peddle their wares for the sake of the almighty $$$$.

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely!

Insane!

———
There are three movies on the Russo Ukie CIVIL war, French and foreign ( very good by the way). The less informed have no clue and discard the truth preferring to follow senile Joe with his Ukie war.

Sad fact is it was a regional civil war since 2014, until senile Joe and the West got involved. Most of European realizes this ( especially France and Germany)
Which is why they have been reducing welfare to the Ukies.

The sadder fact is the majority of EU citizens do NOT want war with Russia, but
their corrupted leadership bought into the narrative. The EU anger is rising, as the EU ( especially Germany) is suffering, hard recession, huge inflation, manufacturing closing, their already weak military getting gutted, Ukie refugee welfare draining their coffers, almost comical- it turns out senile Joe’s sanctions hit the West HARD- while Vlad keeps bring in billions in revenue.

Old “ Boomerang” Joe at it again. I can’t help but to laugh at the smucks who hitched their wagons to a senile, corrupted old man sitting in the White House.

There was a set of videos of the massacre on a site...I don’t think I still have the link to it.

Incredible cruelty.

This is a great piece. Thanks for posting it.

Here you go. As you’ll see, it is VERY WELL RESEARCHED. It was posted on YouTube, without controversy, for 6 years. Then it was very quietly removed last year, perhaps our friends in DC had something to do with that?
