Going further and rubbing salt deep into wounds Maidan inflicted on Ukraine, the US Army monograph just won't give the poor Banderites any slack.
" Given that Ukrainians themselves had a rather limited ability to present their historical arguments[ that's gotta hurt, seriously ], their influence on U.S. foreign policy prior to becoming independent was also limited, being realized only through emigre circles. The above-mentioned dominant of Ukrainians as "unpredictable and dangerous nationalists" were very likely behind the logic of the famous speech in August 1991 by U.S. President George Bush...[Americans] will not aid those who promote a suicidal nationalism based on ethnic hatred." Such warning naturally surprised Ukrainians and ignited protests and demonstrations from the Ukrainian Diaspora in the United States."
As Director of the CIA ex-President Bush dealt extensively with the Ukrainian emigres and knew they were still the rabid nationalists they always were. When Ukraine became a nation in 1991, the caveat was the American faction which is entirely Bandera Nationalists would take a back seat to the OUNm groups softer form of nationalism.
Punctuating the OUNb intellectual tradition at Maidan was giving Andrei Parubi the Secretary of Defense position for post Maidan Ukraine. Mr. Parubi who exemplifies the Ukrainian nationalist intellectual tradition was one of the founders of the Svoboda party and an ideologist for it.
He was forced to resign the Ukrainian Defense Ministry the day after his grade school IQ results were released.
President Poroshenko's Official ResponsePetro Poroshenko's official response to all this was education reform. He cut the high school graduation age by two years and two full grades. Imagine letting loose the average American high school freshman on the world at 15 years of age. They can be drafted. They can work. They graduated! Won't American kids be jealous?
Right now Poroshenko is poised to take the EU by storm as the new improved education system is set to provide the most competitive priced day labor on the continent.
Beyond that by finally legalizing the organ trade that Ukraine has been cited for as a world leader in, Ukrainian kids will always have a way to make an extra hryvnia or two.
The Ukrainian nationalists running the government and the Ukrainian war remind me of a rabid version of MTV's Beavis and Butthead , even if they are a bit more intellectually challenged.
Will Europe catch up and comes to grips with the fact that Zbigniew Brzezinski, Henry Kissinger, Secretary Ashton Carter, and the US Army War College are on the same page concerning the violently anti- intellectual and demented nature of Ukrainian Nationalists ruling in Kiev?
The appointment of Secretary Carter should signal to the world that short of the entire US Government undergoing a total frontal lobotomy, the US has little interest in defending Kiev's violent "Idiocracy."
Given the facts and all the fake Russian invasions NATO General Phillip Breedlove is forced to lie about, I no longer wonder if he cries into his pillow at night.
Public LAW 86-90 Its all about UKRAINE BABY!The 2004 Army Monograph which was funded by the US Army War College External Research Associates Program admits the unthinkable. Are you ready?
Ukraine, in the same vein as North Vietnam, and Cossackia did not exist outside Public Law 86-90 until 1991. Yes, its true! Like North Vietnam or a Cossackia, "the Ukraine" recognized by the US existed first in the mind of Stepan Bandera! The reference in the monograph is to the almost but not quite government of Simon Petlura, but Bandera's legitimacy had to stem from some source no matter how shaky.
From the Monograph-
" In the 20th century's Soviet period, this took the form of the destruction of Ukraine's attempts to become independent during the civil war of 1917-20;..."
