Not all western leftists are mindless Putinist running dogs, reflexively yapping “Fascist! Fascist!” at every Ukrainian they see dashing across their computer screens or imagining that the frenzied dashing is caused by wads of CIA-donated dollars stuffed in neo-Nazi pockets.
Here is Gabriel Levy’s absolutely essential two-part analysis of recent events in Ukraine. It is based on actual thinking, real facts, on-the-ground observation, and a solid, thorough knowledge of the country and its history.
Part One: “Ukraine 1. Yanukovich’s end is a beginning”
Part Two: “Ukraine 2. A political earthquake for Europe and Russia”
Well you got that assessment right at least about USA leftists. Putin & Company, the neo fascist Soviets both in Russia and the Ukraine, the Russian Orthodox KGB Church, and the gangster oil Oligarchs are viewed as the primary threats to the liberation of Ukraine and a functional liberal Democracy there. Viva Ukraine!! Russia Without Putin!!
Great job taking down those oligarchs, Maidan. Oh…wait…no.
Not quite all: The Militant in the US has been consistently supporting the Ukraine protests and defending the national rights of Ukrainians and Crimean Tartars against Putin.
