Yet there can be no doubt that Nuland initiated this action with Obama's full knowledge, with it being as much, if not moreso, Obama's mess as it is Nuland's and her neo-con cronies. Well might we say, 'cue Harry Truman's "the buck stops here!"'
Of equal or greater concern herein is this. I'm sure I'm not the only one who noted with considerable bewilderment and dismay, the Kiev regime's deployment -- again with the full knowledge, approval indeed encouragement of the regime renovators in Washington -- of extreme neo-Nazi forces in facilitating its rise to power from the off, and enforcing since the coup its brutal, illegitimate rule. As noted earlier, they are again getting their second wind.
Given the neoconservatives well-documented vise-grip on U.S. foreign policy in general, and their role in engineering said coup in particular -- especially that of the Nuland/Kagan/ex-PNAC factions and their fellow travelers in the U.S. Congress such as McCain, who number amongst them some of the most prominent, so-called "American friends of Israel" -- I'm at something of a loss as to how best to explain the glaring disconnect herein.
Of course America's foreign policy "initiatives" over the decades have always embraced an "end justifies the means" precept; only the most naà ¯ve or ill informed would deny this. But for most objective observers -- even those of us all too familiar with the CIA's notorious Operation Paperclip, (or its equally infamous 'cousin' Operation Gladio), wherein the U.S. actively recruited under-the-radar not-so-rehabbed former Nazis and extreme right wing elements to fight on any number of fronts the Cold War against the Soviets -- this is breaking new ground in its embrace of the precept. Prima facie, this has to represent another glaring WTF 'mo' in the conduct of U.S. foreign policy. Geopolitics makes strange bedfellows one might reasonably conclude! And transforms Nobel Peace Prize winners into imperial warmongers!
Or is it possible I'm once again missing something obvious here? How are all these "American friends of Israel", either inside or outside of the Capitol 'tent', able to reconcile their on-going support of a regime utilizing such forces -- whose pernicious ideology being synonymous with rabid anti-Semitism would one imagines, be totally abhorrent to Jewish folks and right-thinking non-Jews alike -- under any circumstances?
As it turns out, the so-called "friends" have been bending butt over backwards since the coup denying, playing down, or completely ignoring this "disconnect". It is only begrudgingly and belatedly they -- along with their hacks, flacks and lackeys in the MSM -- were able to bring themselves to concede there has been and remains any such neo-Nazi involvement in Ukraine, much less acknowledge any such "disconnect".
Another key question here is this. How does the all powerful AIPAC and various Jewish/Israel lobby groups and affiliated bodies feel about their "American friends" precipitating and engaging in regime change missions that involve the use and on-going embrace of neo-Nazi forces? Is this just some fuzzy 'post-modern' perversion of realpolitik at work here, and I'm simply too naive or stupid to understand what the hell is going on and what the end-game might be? And now that the neo-Nazi 'natives' are becoming increasingly restless as noted -- their frustration with their nominal patrons within the present regime's hierarchy reaching boiling points -- it'll doubtless make for interesting times ahead.
All this of course without considering the added reality of these extreme right-wing factions possibly combining forces and cozying up in a Nazi/fascist/white supremacist group hug cum love-fest with radical jihadist/Islamic militant groups in what could likely shape up to be an exceedingly bloody counter-coup, along with the equally likely prospects of the Ukrainian economy imploding in the interim, or at least in the wake of the turmoil induced by any such coup!
