Nine years ago today, Ukrainian Nationalists literally got away with murder when they carried out their first modern day pogrom... the #OdessaMassacre. According to the Ukrainian government, those people accidentally set themselves on fire.
Ukrainian Nationalists try to shut down an exhibit honoring the victims of the 2014 #OdessaMassacre
Instead of arresting perpetrators, the Ukrainian state arrested survivors of the #OdessaMassacre

She didn't say anything fascist. You are high.
If anything, the article reveals Western ignorance that the Euromaidan state wishes to reinforce about how it's the Ukrainian government, who has been attacking Donbass since 2014, that's the real aggressor in this real world story.
Releasing Donbass children to their aggressor is what would be a war crime.

Russia did not take Crimea by force. They accepted it through a people's referendum, and Kyiv gave it up without a fight (troops were ordered to leave after half the military defected), probably because they understood the people there didn't want to be part of Ukraine anymore.
As far as legality - the only argument is that it didn't comply with Ukraine's constitution, but Ukraine did not have a valid constitution or a legitimate government when the referendum was held.
Those weren't Russian soldiers. They were Ukrainian soldiers. And as far as "coup by force" they weren't representing the side that staged a coup, the Euromaidan were the ones carrying out a coup. Crimea was resisting a coup.

What utter rubbish. Ukrainian Nationalism resurfaced after the Orange Revolution, long before the Russo-Ukrainian Conflict or the Ukrainian Civil War.
I'm so tired of this bullshit excuse. The truth of the matter is the civil war started because of the rise of Ukrainian Nationalism, not the other way around. And even if it were the other way around, it's still not a good reason to find Nazism acceptable.
And we're not just talking about ordinary nationalism. We're talking about straight up Nazism... and *that* is *not* normal.

I am horrified by this lecture given by Tim Snyder about the Holocaust, where he makes it sound like Ukrainian Slavs were the ones who faced a genocidal threat, and all the Nazis wanted to do to the Jews was deport them.
He also sets the stage to frame Russia as the bad guys, repeating post WW2 Nazi propaganda about the Soviets forming a "defacto alliance" with Germany to invade Poland, failing to clarify that it was one of many non-aggression pacts Germany had signed with several countries...
"Poland didn't stand a chance because it was being attacked from all directions." He fails to clarify that the Soviets were not part of that attack. The Soviets did not enter Belarus or West Ukraine until *after* the Polish state had been dissolved.

The article doesn't even actually explain how helping the Euromaidan win secures "freedom". Rather, it dishes out Crimean Tatar Nationalist propaganda which ignores that Jews and Greeks were in Crimea first, and why Stalin deported Tatar Nationalists...
Stalin deported the Tatars as part of his effort to disrupt Nationalist movements, which had contributed to the mass murder of Crimean Jews & Roma during WW2. All of Stalin's mass deportation efforts after WW2 was about disrupting blood-and-soil movements. ushmm.org/m/pdfs/2013050…

Russia will only "take Ukraine" if that's what needs to happen to secure Donbass and Crimea. If you really wanted to stop them from "taking Ukraine" you can, by letting Russia have the part that has already said they *want* to be part of Russia.
Since the days of the Russian empire, the Muscovites have only extended their borders to protect people. If you want to stop Russian expansion, stop making it so people need their protection.
What "new world order"? Russia's "new world order" aka a "multi-polar world" is what the post ww2 order was *supposed* *to* be.
