Capitol Hill Blue Forums Political Issues Foreign Policy & News The long and winding road to Dumbass

By the way, surprised you aren't deflecting to the "how Ukraine was given squillions of $USD to make bioweapons to attack Russia" argument.
You ain't buying the bioweapons lab thing?

The vote that was held for joining Russia. I’m surprised you missed it. Patrick Lancaster did some good coverage of it.

How’s it work Jeff? You demand your questions be answered while ignoring questions posed to you?

David Harvey’s ‘History of Neoliberalism’ is a good place to start, btw.

His YouTube channel is pretty good, imo.

Atlantic Council (groan) 2018:

‘ Since the beginning of 2018, C14 and other far-right groups such as the Azov-affiliated National Militia, Right Sector, Karpatska Sich, and others have attacked Roma groups several times, as well as anti-fascist demonstrations, city council meetings, an event hosted by Amnesty International, art exhibitions, LGBT events, and environmental activists. On March 8, violent groups launched attacks against International Women’s Day marchers in cities across Ukraine. In only a few of these cases did police do anything to prevent the attacks, and in some they even arrested peaceful demonstrators rather than the actual perpetrators.

Ukraine’s Got a Real Problem with Far-Right Violence (And No, RT Didn’t Write This Headline)

CNN 2022:

‘ An effective fighting force that’s very much involved in the current conflict, the battalion has a history of neo-Nazi leanings, which have not been entirely extinguished by its integration into the Ukrainian military. ?

In its heyday as an autonomous militia, the Azov Battalion was associated with White supremacists and neo-Nazi ideology and insignia. It was especially active in and around Mariupol in 2014 and 2015. CNN teams in the area at the time reported Azov’s embrace of neo-Nazi emblems and paraphernalia’

A far-right battalion has a key rol...Nazi history has been exploited by Putin

CATO (Gawd!) 2022:

‘ The U.S. news media’s treatment of the Ukraine issue has long been characterized by flagrant favoritism. Reports from organizations such as Human Rights Watch, Transparency International, and Freedom House showing that Ukraine’s actual conduct differed markedly from its carefully crafted image as a dedicated young democracy received little coverage in the mainstream press. That willingness to conceal Ukraine’s corruption and authoritarianism has grown even worse since the outbreak of war with Russia. Media coverage moved quickly from ignoring or minimizing inconvenient information about Kyiv’s political and economic system to channeling outright Ukrainian propaganda.’

The News Media’s Ukraine Whitewash Grows Worse

Can do this s all night. The fact that you won’t is very revealing Jeff….

FAIR 2022:

Disinformation has become a central tool in the United States and Russia’s expanding information war. US officials have openly admitted to “using information as a weapon even when the confidence and accuracy of the information wasn’t high,” with corporate media eager to assist Washington in its strategy to “pre-empt and disrupt the Kremlin’s tactics, complicate its military campaign” (NBC, 4/6/22).

In defense of the US narrative, corporate media have increasingly taken to branding realities inconvenient to US information goals as “disinformation” spread by Russia or its proxies.’

Disinformation’ Label Serves to Marginalize Crucial Ukraine Facts

Haaretz 2018:

‘Ukraine designated the birthday of a Nazi collaborator as a national holiday and banned a book on the anti-Semitic actions of another national leader.

The Ukrainian parliament last week declared January 1 as a national day of commemoration for Stepan Bandera, who briefly joined forces with the Nazi occupation of Ukraine. A nationalist, Bandera hoped the Germans would allow his country sovereignty from the Soviet Union, though the Nazis later arrested him.‘

Who was Stephan Bandera Jeff?

‘ Some of his supporters at the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, which he headed, committed countless war crimes against Jews.’

Ukraine Designates National Holiday to Commemorate Nazi Collaborator

They had a name for Jews that helped Nazis a generation ago.

Capi…Kopo…kipper…

Hmm… can’t remember at the moment.. the survivors would know..
