Whatever Nulands involvement, the accusations came from Russia. It was phone intercept they used as propaganda.
The US position has always been to prop up the side that is anti-Russian. That is not going to change and it should not surprise anyone at all...
The stuff about the Neo Nazis was also blown up far beyond it’s importance is a effort by pro-Russian media and others who ran with the story. It just counter intel propaganda endlessly repeated until it is believed to be true.
It’s not a cost issue either. this is chump change and rhetoric on our part.
The removal of the Russian sock puppet was going to happen with or without us, but I can assume we did some intervention to make sure he was not executed or accidently killed.
Again, attacking the US position simply because a incompetent boob is sitting in the White House when he’s not fundraising or golfing, is not a very valid reason to attack the US policy which is long standing before Bozo and post Bozo.
“The stuff about the Neo Nazis was also blown up far beyond it’s importance”
I don’t think so.
It is undeniable that they are the ones that brought the violence to the Maidan, and it is also undeniable that they have acted as strongmen for the Regime ever since.
The several Right-Sector militias now operating in the Southeast are supposedly “beyond Kiev’s control”, and have been used to terrorize the population, as the Odessa and Mariupol massacres, and the election day killings clearly demonstrate.
Those same Right-Sector militias have been a major cause of discord within the rebels, with the Ukrainian-born Bezler wanting to go after them first, instead of following the larger goals of Strelkov.
(it should be noted that Bezler has had some success at this, decimating two of the Right-Sector battalions so badly, that they are now recruiting foreigners to fight for them.)
Well, I’m crossing my fingers about the “post-Bozo”, though I must say Putin is giving the West a good lesson on at least one reason we should maintain a firm stance. Hopefully those who need to learn are doing so.
