As I wrote elsewhere
(*http://mltoday.com/tragedy-in-ukraine*<http://mltoday.com/tragedy-in-ukraine>),
Ukraine is a great tragedy for the people. Caught in the web of imperial
powers, many Ukrainians were seduced by the European Union and the US into
collaborating in the overthrow of the elected government. While the US and
European media depicted events as reflecting a yearning for Western values
and culture, they conveniently sidestepped the questions of
constitutionality and electoral legitimation. The fact that the former
leaders of Ukraine came to power through mechanisms worshiped in the West
as the foundations of civility and the rule of law counts for nothing in
the carving up of spheres of influence.

Even at the last moment, when the Ukraine government struck a deal with the
opposition favorable to the anti-government insurgents and guaranteed by
the EU, the Western media ignored the blatant betrayal of that agreement
and the complicity of the guarantors. Shamefully, the media masked the
critical role of the hyper-nationalist, Jew-baiting fascists in the front
lines of the opposition's street fighters.

In the US, the intellectual courtiers-- the obsequious academics--
dutifully filled the airwaves and newsprint with tributes to the heroic,
democracy-loving opposition. They assured us that the opposition
represented exactly what the US State Department said they were. How
convenient! *To read more, go to:* http://zzs-blg.blogspot.com/
