Little wonder the Russians had enough.

It fails the test of biased, especially towards Russia's favor. If anything it slightly favors Ukraine.
No responses to the overthrow of the pro- Russian President of Ukraine? Well, that is where the roots of this war began.
Buried by the western MSM, again.
“ Well, now we have that evidence.
In the November 16 article in the Italian journal Il Giornale, and repeated on Italian TV Canale 5, journalist Gian Micalessin revealed that 3 Georgians, all trained army snipers, and with links to Mikheil Saakashvili and Georgian security forces were ordered to travel to Kiev from Tbilisi during the Maidan events. It is two of these men that are now being called to testify in Kiev.
On the 18th of February they were given weapons and two of them took up positions at the Hotel Ukraina overlooking Maidan Square while the third was positioned in the Conservatory. Other snipers were positioned in other buildings to fire into the square. Prior to that they met with, among other people, an American soldier in uniform, a claimed “former” member of the US Army’s 101st Airborne Division, who gave them orders on what to do, which it turned out to be was to shoot into Maidan Square randomly targeting people, protestors and police alike, to create fear and confusion, to implicate the government forces as the shooters, to create the chaos necessary in order to undermine the government of President Yanukovych, who fled shortly after the event realising his own life was in danger. The name of the American soldier, or the alias he used, was Brian Christopher Boyenger. He showed up later as an adviser to the Ukrainian Georgian Legion. One of the snipers stated,
“Once, I guess around February 15, Mamulashvili personally visited our tent. There was another guy with him wearing a uniform. Mamulashvili introduced him to us and told us he was an American military guy and will be our instructor.”
Another stated,
“This American was Brian Christopher Boyenger, a “former” soldier, a sniper, from the 101st Airborne Division.”
“He was the one who gave us orders.”
Questions naturally arise on how this “former” American soldier entered the country and took command of a murderous sniper unit and it is highly probable that the word “former” was used to give the Americans plausible deniability if their men were found out, as has now occurred. No one can seriously doubt that his presence was known to the US ambassador in Kiev, Geoffrey Pyatt, who, according to then Vice President Joe Biden, was in hourly contact with Andriy Parubiy, the Ukrainian fascist who was in charge of “self defence units” made of heavily armed fascist thugs at Maidan. According to the Italian report, Parubiy was going in and out of the Hotel Ukraina from where many shots were fired and was aware of the presence of the American soldier so the American ambassador must have been aware and his government. The Americans have yet to explain Boyenger’s presence or what rank he held in the US Army. Parubiy’s role in the events has never been explained either but Poroshenko appointed this mass murderer as head of Ukraine security and intelligence forces after the coup and he now sits as President of Ukraine’s parliament since April 14, 2016, in which position he can use to give the Germans and Americans the cooperation they want.
The massacre at Maidan, therefore, is revealed to be a carefully planned military operation organised in detail, with teams of snipers brought in from various NATO allied countries, unknown to each other, but organised on arrival, given orders and assignments and each sniper team being assigned spotters to help in their deadly work.…”
Russia had enough of what?
Thanks to the neo-liberal war mongers, America has blood on its hands...again.

Euromaidan Event Reconstruction.
Among others.
Having watched some of the live-feeds at the time, it was clear both protestors and police (i.e. both sides on the front line) were being shot. At the time I suspected that the Maidan side were using the tried and tested tactic employed by the IRA and others: send the kids out to the barricades; use snipers in the background to shoot at the security forces; some of the security forces are bound to shoot back at what they can see - the kids; Bingo!
However, it was also very clear from the live footage was that some military-type groups were moving about openly on the upper levels (walkways, connecting balconies etc) seemingly with little fear of being targetted themselves... at the time this was always difficult to explain.
Every Soviet-style dictator or would-be dictator will say “They shot themselves to make me look bad”.
Russian propaganda claimed that Maidan was a power grab by a “Junta”. What that junta did ... the first thing they did was elections. By now there have been even one more election in Ukraine in 2019 and the incumbent president lost.
Meanwhile Putin has been in power in dictator for life status since 1999 and his butt-buddy Lukashenka since 1994.
good article,thanks
