The U.S. hypocrisy over Charlottesville

edverona (25)in #charlottesville • 7 years ago

In Ukraine in 2014, two synagogue attacks, the cancellation of a Holocaust Remembrance in Kiev, and attacks on Jews in Ukraine, and US Senator John McCain stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the leader of one of the rising Neo-Nazi parties in the country. Far right groups have pushed aside peaceful protesters, and employ violence to reach their goals. Experts on the region have criticized US funding of "democracy initiatives" which helped foster the protests.
As McCain openly encouraged the Ukrainian protesters with promises of American support, he was greeted and flanked by Tyahnybok, the leader of Svoboda, which recently gained 38 seats in the Ukrainian Parliament. Svoboda is one of a number of Ukrainian far-right parties, and has ties to other "nationalist" movements across Europe, which preach virulent brands of anti-Semitism, ethnic purity, intolerance of homosexuality. Another far-right group, Right Sector, openly took credit for engaging in violence during the protests. Granted this was during Obama's presidency, why wasn't there an outcry then?

Andriy Parubiy is one of the most notorious right-wing extremists in Ukrainian politics. A founder of the far-right Social-National Party of Ukraine, whose name and symbols were inspired by Germany’s Nazi Party, Parubiy directed the street muscle in Kiev’s Maidan Square that drove the 2014 U.S.-backed coup against Ukraine’s democratically elected, Russian-oriented government.
In June 15, 2014, two of the most influential Republicans in Congress, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senator John McCain, held court with Parubiy in Washington. The meeting was just the latest event exposing American support for Ukraine’s post-Maidan government as a cynical exercise in saber-rattling against Russia with little demonstrable concern for liberal democracy.

American people are being dragged along by neo cons who will manipulate and fool them into oblivion. With monsters like those in Congress, with not a shred of integrity between them, it's plain to see why their people are being left to die on the streets killing each other or themselves in the drug epidemic currently in existence across the States.
