Do you not care? Or is the desire to justify war and bloodshed just too irresistible that you can't resist spreading false propaganda for the Russian empire? The Telegraph article didn't say shit about US support for Russian forces. How about you read the Telegraph article you site as unvarnished truth? It says the Ukrainian rebels are funded by a Ukrainian billionaire, not the US. In fact, it doesn't even mention the US. Jesus Christ. What a load of shit.

Whatever happened to opposition to regime change? I guess it's okay if it's at the hands of Russia. If Ukrainians don't adopt political views you approve of, they deserve to die and be recolonized. What you have done is no different than if someone had looked at various factions in Iraq one year into the conflict and claimed the US was on the side of angels because of something or another the Sunni had done. When a country is invaded, all kinds of ugly shit is unleashed. The Novaya Gazeta article shows that Putin planned the invasion months before the government in Ukraine fell, and he planned on getting rid of Yanukovych himself. Instead he was brought down by popular protest. (Funny how the Russian document makes no mention of a US coup.) You don't care about the origins of the war, that it's part of Russia's empire building. You're too busy working to ensure it continues. You are warmongering for imperial control over a colonized people ruled by Russia since the 17th century, people Putin describes as racially inferior and unfit to govern themselves. And naturally you turn to a right wing publication, The Telegraph, to back charges (even though you clearly haven't bothered to read the article) because how else does one justify a right-wing quasi fascist like Putin without the support from the right-wing press?

I figured you all didn't realize you were being played to carry out Putin's propaganda campaign. Now we see you are eager participants in justifying Russia's subjugation of the Ukraine. What next? Poland, Uzbekistan? The National Front is gaining ground throughout Europe. Will you be supporting their annexation as well? The problem is of course that those fascist parties in Europe all support Putin, as water seeks its own level. Le Pen are big fans, which is entirely expected.

Many more Ukrainians will be killed, and there you are cheerleading on Putin's war that causes those deaths. Ignore the truth, for the flames of war must be fanned at all costs.
