I'm sure most people are aware that Ukraine is currently experiencing some social unrest. Recently, a tape was released of Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt discussing who to install into a new Ukrainian government. An article by the WSWS summarizes it best I think, and this is particularly frightening:
I did some reading on the Svoboda Party, and sure enough, they have direct neo-Nazi ties. If you don't like socialists, I found an NYT article to satisfy all your centrist needs. There's also a transcript of the conversation here.Psaki also addressed Nuland’s and Pyatt’s discussion of which forces Washington would allow to come to power in Kiev. In the telephone call, the two discuss plans to install an oligarchic regime working closely with fascist gangs. They agree that boxer Vitali Klitschko, who leads the German-backed UDAR party, should stay out of power and “do his political homework and stuff.”
They conclude that Arseniy Yatsenyuk of jailed billionaire oligarch Yulia Tymoshenko’s Fatherland Party should rule, conferring regularly with Oleh Tyahnybok of the fascist Svoboda Party, whose members and neo-Nazi allies provide most of the thugs fighting riot police in Kiev.
It looks like the U.S. and the E.U. are fighting over who gets the bone which is Ukraine. No surprise here, this has been happening since the turn of the 20th century. But I think the fact that White House administrators are still going around installing fascist-supported puppet regimes should give people pause who still believe that voting Democrats into office means something.
