One thing is now very clear to those willing to see it. The West’s encouragement of Ukrainian ultra-nationalism since the mid-2000s (indeed earlier as well) had led to blood-letting, much the way the US government, academic, journalistic, and think tank consensus regarding the ‘freedom fighter’s in Chechnya led to Boston. Remember Ms. Nuland’s and our administration’s view: There are no neofascists in Ukraine, and Maidan was filled only with women, children, and grandmothers.
Now go read your New York Times, Washington Post, PBS, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, etc. And good luck with that.Russian and Eurasian Politics
