Washington's prestigious bipartisan think tank, the Brookings Institution, has now issued a call for American taxpayers to finance more firebombings, clusterbombings, and other support to the ethnic cleansing, which has been going on since Ukraine's coup – the ethnic cleansing that's occurring in the region of Ukraine's southeast that's called "Donbass" (which is the Ukrainian area shown in dark purple on this map, the map of the election results in Ukraine's last nationwide Presidential election before the coup; and that's the same region which rejects the U.S.-imposed coup-Government; the people there had voted 90% for the man whom the U.S. coup overthrew, which is the reason the U.S. Government wants them eliminated, so that Ukraine can keep the land – and its resources – but now cleansed of its residents, so that the U.S. can place missiles there aimed at Russia, which is America's current strategic objective: to control Russia).
That euphemism "defensive arms" is for gullible individuals only: guns and tanks obviously fire in both directions, and so do anti-tank weapons etc. – and there was no "Russian Aggression" in Ukraine until the Obama Administration violently overthrew the existing Government there in February of last year. Adolf Hitler claimed to be "defending" Germany when he invaded and took over Poland in 1939, following a "false flag" incident in Poland that could have been a model for Obama's in Ukraine last year, and the United States is copying not only his PR tactics about it, but the continuing violence afterwards, differing mainly in his using surrogates to do the job, instead of (as Hitler did) claiming the consequences as being his own. (Hitler was able to tell Germans that Poland was threatening Germany, but Obama can't likewise persuasively say to Americans that Ukraine constitutes a threat to America: Americans aren't that gullible, and he knows this.) As the following videos of the U.S.-sponsored firebombings – and of regular bombings – of cities and villages in Donbass will make clear, these consequences also compete rather well with Hitler's in their sheer violence.
However, some of these firebombing-instances have (notwithstanding OSCE and other U.S.-controlled agencies) been caught on videos, the authenticity of which has not been challenged; and, sometimes, the resulting fires on the ground have likewise been documented in these videos. The Government blames these firebombings on the residents they're firebombing, and calls them "Terrorists" for rejecting this Government and for wanting not to be ruled by it. However, the people who live in the region are not the people who are flying those planes and dropping these bombs onto them. It's always the Government – the Government that Obama placed into power in Kiev a year ago. As this phone conversation made undeniably clear, that government had been brought to power in a coup that was recognized, at the time, as being such (a coup), even by the man who ultimately won Ukraine's Presidency after the coup, Petro Poroshenko; furthermore, it violated Ukraine's Constitution. Everything that has occurred since then (and actually even since at least 25 January 2014, leading up to the coup) is fundamentally illegal; and that is why the country is now being ruled by sheer force; and anyone who would pretend otherwise is not honest about the matter.
So: it is clear that this is happening, and that it's being little reported in the West – and that it's not being investigated by Western agencies (such as the OSCE).
President Poroshenko has especially honored one military leader, Andriy "Biletsky, who was given an 'Order For Courage' award by Poroshenko," and who "recently wrote that, 'The historic mission of our nation in this critical moment is to lead the white races of the world in a final crusade for their survival. A crusade against the Semite-led sub-humans. The task of the present generation is to create a Third Empire.'" Adolf Hitler called it "the Third Reich." But now that the U.S. aristocracy are placing rabid nazis into power, they get standing ovations in the U.S. Congress.
What they all are actually fighting for, is the global supremacy of America's aristocracy. In this sense, and only in this sense, Hitler really did lose WW II: Germany's aristocracy were reigned-in, even if only a bit. After that War, there was a long FDR-shaped interregnum of increasing democracy in the United States and throughout the developed world; but then came 1980 and Ronald Reagan and the reverse long-term trend, back toward fascism, and now into outright nazism (racist fascism), this time against Russians, whom Republicans have long particularly hated. (Obama pretends not to hate them; he condemned Mitt Romney for saying, "in terms of a geopolitical foe, … Russia is the geopolitical foe." Obama is the master-liar; Romney wasn't smart enough to be in his league, on that; so, Romney lost.) After 1980, America's aristocracy defeated not only (Hitler's bane) democracy itself, in the United States and in much of Europe, but they are climbing yet higher on the global power-mountain, increasingly threatening to defeat Russia's aristocrats, who are, it seems, just about the only ones that today are trying to organize a global resistance against them, and therefore against global dictatorship by the American elite.
Yet again, Russia is being forced to wage war against the apparently insatiable leading fascist and even nazi (racist-fascist) powers, the global aristocracy (led by the U.S. aristocracy). And, yet again, it's not something that any Russians wanted; it's instead something that no Russians seek or sought. Only the global aristocracy seeks it – because Russia is, still, the only powerful opponent of the global aristocracy, the only powerful nation that won't buckle to it.
So, of course, outfits like Brookings want U.S. taxpayers to spend yet more billions, in order to bring Russia's aristocracy under American aristocrats' (or "U.S. mega-corporate") control.
