There are some good things there.
And some really bad things.
There is no “good” side in this. And that is why the US should butt out. And any foreign policy decided upon by this administration is guaranteed to be the very worst thing for America, at the very least.
See my snips in comment 18.
LJ, GlobalResearch is a terrible source. It’s anti American, pro OWS, pro Global Warming...etc. I wouldn’t use them to critique Svoboda...and there are indeed some problems with their criticisms of Svoboda.
I’d like to know the specifics of the problems. I realize that GR has some real crap on it. So does every single other news source. That is the problem.
Do you think Paul Craig Roberts is a notorious propagandist too? I’m curious what news outlet or journalists you deem more accurate. NYT?

Western Looting Of Ukraine Has Begun
Of course, his articles may appear on GR sometimes, so maybe that taints him?
That is true, however to those who are insistent on taking a side they cannot be open to finding the truth. Instead will defend their mindset and oppose those who do not agree.
One thing we know...when debate is silenced truth will never be known.
Maidan was not in the middle of a war between outside factions as is happening in Eastern Ukraine.......nor have they had the financial backing of billions of dollars over a long period of time, or that of “organizers” to establish their intentions as Maidan had.
This has been a ground roots uprising of the people, and identified as that from the beginning until the Private Sector and their hired thugs began opposing and infiltrating their protests, just as they did with Maidan. Even the Atlantic Council and the international Leaders identify that Private Sector and their cohorts are a serious problem .....and there has been an effort in the EU now to call Private Sector a terrorist group..because they are.
However, you cannot even remotely convince those here, who somehow think Svodboda and Private Sector have reformed their ways, yet at the same time they refuse Russia that same reformation..... Dogs don't change their spots....and in Ukraine we are seeing this remains so.
Furthermore...any Journalist who steps into Ukraine knows well these are a violent and easily suspicious people...and that BTW with good cause. This guy knew the risk and also the brutality that might occur by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He assumed that risk all on his own.
Further....In Ukraine you have a suppressed people, and often violent, who have lived under one strong arm or another 'for generations'.......robbed and stolen from by their ruling government officials with no regard to the peoples affairs..... We ourselves have had only a taste of that suppression through the Obama Administration....and that for a very short time. So how Ukrainians see this crisis is beyond most understanding why they fight as they do now..and that all sides of the equation...and there are many in "divided" Ukraine.
I’d appreciate what your sources are.
That would be interesting if Russians are killing ethnic Russians in Urkaine, burning them alive etc.
Yes, condemning the source but not proving the facts in the “bad” source... somehow not convincing enough for me.
