The Reality of Nazi Influence in Ukraine

Tom, it started out as a civil war. However, Moscow took a hand in it and turned it into something else. Now, it is more like Britain sent a few regiments and a naval squadron to aide the Confederacy during the ACW.

Tom, when have I sourced Fox on this topic? I've used DW and other European sources. One issue is the MSM has de-platformed RT and other Kremlin sources.
Et Tu?

I never said they were impartial. We come to a better understanding of complicated events when we play compare differing sources, bias against bias.

Those items you quoted above, do they not also concern, say, Fox News? If they slant the news to further American agendas is that not also misleading? As Christians, we are called to rise above mere nationalism.

You are fixating on one link I shared, ignoring the rest.

The French video I shared shows it is clearly a Civil War.
The Olive Stone video shows it is clearly a Civil War.
People I have spoken with in my months in Ukraine spoke of it as Civil War.

But, yes, go ahead and stare at that RT logo.
I just read your OP. Okay, I won't make that mistake again.

The Unz.Review (a Western source) has a good article on the topic of this thread.

"Readers should take a minute to savor Washington’s duplicity on this matter, after all, while the Biden administration and the entire MSM was denouncing the January 6 protestors as “racists” and “white supremacists”, the US government was busy arming and training “white crusader” Nazis to carry out its war on Russia. "

Several of the comments from readers are also pretty insightful.

I would say it is both a civil war and an international one, a recent Russian invasion on top of a years-long Ukrainian incursion into the two breakaway republics in the east.

Neither the incursion nor the invasion were justified.

The two eastern "republics" have IIRC always been a part of Ukraine. Though they have a large population of ethnic Russians. Crimea though was given to Ukraine in the 50s by Kruschev.

No, this is not correct. What is now Ukraine was, before Napoleon, divided among three powers: the Ottoman Empire, Poland-Lithuania-Saxony, and Muscovy-Rus, After 1815 it was almost all part of the Russian Empire. That Empire extended westward all the way through Transnistrian-Moldava. (BTW, this division of Moldavia is still obvious. We rode a train through that country. As we came through Transnistria the signs were all in Cyrillic).

Tom, I will remind you that I've been a part of the local Soviet EC-B community for over 30 years. I know my Russian geography a lot better than most Americans.

Then you know that arguing political correctness on geography is a tricky thing. One could say that the US has usurped Texas and California from Mexico. The real issue here is the people of a region and after the American-assisted coup of the Ukrainian government the two easternmost regions opted to reassess their relation with Russia and also to become independent entities.
