War in Ukraine

What @NCFisher left out of his rant was the fact that the CIA/US Govt funded Bandera in the 1940s/1950s as they were conducting terror operations in the USSR. So yes, they do have a recent history of attacking Russians/Soviets (with the US as a sponsor).

Ukraine: The CIA’s 75-year-old Proxy

On the occasion of the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the OUN put up posters in the western Ukrainian city of Lvov that read:

Do not throw away your weapons now. Take them in your hands. Destroy the enemy.…People! Know! Moscow, Poland, the Hungarians, the Jews are your enemies. Destroy them!…Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes! Glory to the Leader! [Bandera]
Notably, this call for ethnic cleansing does not cite the Germans then occupying Ukraine, yet the fascist and neo-Nazi propagandists who are waging a war in the Donbas region today portray their forebearers as heroes for having defended Ukrainian nationalism from the Soviets and Germany. The Pentagon successfully pressed Congress to lift restrictions on training and providing military assistance to groups, such as the Azov Battalion, that are based on fascist or neo-Nazi ideology.

For a disclosure of CIA involvement with WWII-era Ukraine nationalists, you could've referenced their release detailing how CIA sought - AFTER the war - to establish intel channels into the Soviet communists: https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/STUDIES IN INTELLIGENCE NAZI - RELATED ARTICLES_0015.pdf
"The sometimes brutal war record of many emigre groups became blurred as they became more critical to the CIA. DCI Hillenkoetter, for example, gave the chairman of the Displaced Persons Commission an ambiguous answer when the latter asked for a status report on some of the ethnic groups CIA used. Hillenkoetter did not deny that many emigres had sided-with the Nazis, but did so, he said, less out of "a pro-German or pro-Fascist orientation, but from a strong anti-Soviet bias. In many cases their motivation was primarily nationalistic and patriotic with their espousal of the German cause determined by the national interests."

Instead, you chose a Marxist publication for your daily nutritional-bias requirements. No wonder your arguments sound like the leftists who still lament the USSR demise.

Why would WWII-era Ukrainians living under Soviet rule, 'cite Germans then occupying Ukraine' when your own Marxist article provides that answer:
The OUN-German alliance in 1941 was backed by the leaders of the Ukrainian Orthodox and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic churches. The latter’s archbishop, Andrey Sheptytsky, penned a pastoral letter that declared:
We greet the victorious German Army as deliverer from the enemy. We render our obedient homage to the government which has been erected. We recognize Mr. Yaroslav Stetsko as Head of State… of the Ukraine.
That is, the communist Soviet enemy ruling Ukraine.

Further, the 'posters' in Lviv were actually a four-page placard against Russian rule; it mentions Jews once. Why mention them at all?

The Pale of Settlement region where borders of Poland/Lithuania, Belarus and W. Ukraine abutted, transformed Russia from having a neglible population of Jews to holding the largest grouping of them (40%) globally when Russia conquered the area. in addition to the antisemitism long prevalent in Europe. including Russia from Cossack, Tsar to Stalin, many Jews became Soviet communists. These Jews (Yevsektsiya)- Jewish by lineage but communist by ideology - had fully on-boarded & even assumed lead in Soviet suppression of Hebrew language and Zionists, and Muscovite pogroms. The Pale is the region where Stalin 'liquidated' inmates, primarily W. Ukraine, upon Hitler's invasion: The 1941 NKVD Prison Massacres in Western Ukraine | The National WWII Museum | New Orleans

Thus, Ukraine Jews came to be associated with the communist Soviets ruling Ukraine. For a concise history of Soviet commie Jewry: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/american-jews-idealize-soviet-communism To paraphrase, 'Why Do American Apologists for Putin Mimic Disenfranchised Western Communist Jews?'

Azov is 1000 guys in Ukrainian armed forces of 250,000. Jews serve in it (Azov) as soldiers and officers, in addition to it being financed by wealthy Jews. It is preposterous, then or now, to assert Ukraine nationalists were loyalists of German Nazism rather than Ukraine nationalism.

Nordstream cut off energy flows to Europe - that put citizens at risk and was motivation for NATO countries to step up more against a country (Russia) that was intentionally starving Europe of needed energy. Meanwhile, Russia could replace the revenue stream easier than Europe could replace the energy.
They intentionally starved Europe of energy? Russia is still selling oil and gas right now to them. The only thing limiting European energy supplies are the Europeans themselves.
 
In defense of Russian geniuses everywhere, a farming combine *really does* look just like a Leopard 2 tank.

In case someone hasn't speculated yet, are we seeing the war enter a Holodomor phase with baby Stalin attacking agriculture?
 
Destruction of Ukraine Dam Floods Front Line, Scrambling Battle Plans

sorry for a paywall article but of interest there are arguments to be made why this hurts Ukraine and helps Russia and vice versa.

on the hurts Russia side: it greatly reduces the water supply to Crimea the longest held Russian area in the Ukraine and clears minefields and fortifications in the land bridge between Crimea and Ukraine.
on the helps Russia side: it gives them time to send reinforcements to the area and delays a possible counter offensive by Ukraine in the area.

of note:

Jens Stoltenberg, the secretary-general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, said the dam’s destruction was “an outrageous act, which demonstrates once again the brutality of Russia’s war in Ukraine.”
A senior NATO official said it was too early to say who was responsible.
“Russian actors most likely have a motive,” said the official. “It’s the Russians that stand to benefit from the dam not being there.”
The purpose of them capturing Zapharozhzhia early on was precisely because of the Crimean water source. And Russia is ready and doesn't need anymore time. It's to the Ukrainians' benefit to stall and postponed because they don't have enough equipment/weapons.

I have never gotten Ras or any of the others to tell us what the chief Nazi sympathizer Bandera was doing from 1941 to 1944.

The Goal: CIA wanted a parallel Ukrainian master race.
But not until after the war.

The Plan:
CIA - "Stepan, get yourself arrested and imprisoned. Isolated from distractions of freedom, you can perfect the scheme."
Banderas - "Yes, yes, Sen. McCain; it's perfect. Who'd ever suspect?"

Keeping waiting to hear that Prigozhin has checked into a hospital for some treatment.

You know what happens then (actually I hear they put Raz in the room with the offending party and after 15 minutes of his babble, death begins looking pretty good)?
 
Both sides are blaming each other for blowing the dam. I ask why would Ukraine blow it? That would impede their troop movement taking back land.


Because whether you want to admit it or not Russia=corrupt vs Ukraine=corrupt

This is like a fight between a skunk and kimchi no matter who wins it's not going to be pleasant
