VIP | The Truth About Ukraine with Ben Norton- When USA Invades Nations The MSM Defends It no Matter How Egregious ???

Gordon Coombes My comments on Russia and Ukraine conflict from the 2014 coup to the present: as the video below argues that the problems in Ukraine has been an ongoing military conflict between Ukraine /Kyiv and the Donbass region since the American backed coup in Kyiv in 2014. The USA has been using Ukraine in a proxy war with Russia and has encouraged the Kyiv forces to attack the Donbass region . The USA wanted more conflict so they could place more stringent sanctions on Russia esp to stop the oil pipeline Nordstream 2 .

 The Donbass region is primarily made up of Russian speaking Ukrainians whose rights have been violated by the xenophobic government in Kyiv . But even this more recent history is ignored by the Western Mainstream media and has just without any real investigation of what's happening has jumped on the War bandwagon esp after some seven years now of the Democratic Party's Russian conspiracy theories ie that Hillary Clinton lost the election in 2016 because of Russia and According to the Dems even Bernie Sanders and his few million supporters were being used by Russia and Putin . So given all of this and more how are we the average citizen supposed to trust the Biden administration or its allies including Canada or any NATO connected government -these leaders live in fear of the USA . This is the New Cold War which the Americans still refuse to let go of this notion so anything Russia or Putin does is seen through the prism of a New Cold War . 

Essentially the USA refuses to allow for the rise of other nations or alliances of nations that might compete on a level playing field with the USA when it comes to oil and gas and trade in general. How different is this from the USAs imperialism ie declaring war on Mexico and stealing land eg Texas and then invading the Philippines , invading Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, or interfering in other nations fueling faux populism and Coups from Haiti to Cuba to Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Chile, Brazil, Argentina , Sudan, Somalia , Yemen, Iran, Korea, Cambodia , Laos, Thailand , Venezuela and on and on. It was the USA that pushed for and supported the faux color-maidin revolution and Coup putting extremists who are xenophobic and racist who used legal means to reduce Russian Ukrainians to second class citizens while creating a draconian authoritarian regimes. 

The USA promised with the disillusion of the USSR that NATO would not be expanded and there would be a draw down on troops and missiles in Europe on the border with Russia. The Americans and the West has kept stoking the fires of animosity , fear mongering and paranoia of the Cold War . It was the Ukraine that refused to accept the Minsk peace agreement . The people of the Donbass region due to the antagonism from Kyiv wanted to separate from the rest of Ukraine . Since 2014 Kyiv has been bombing and fighting against the militias in the Donbass.

 almost all the fighting has been directed by Kyiv . So the people of the Donbass region have been under daily fire from Kyiv/Ukraine .

 The Maiden revolution was a coup by extremists including neo-Nazis of the Right Sector and others. Note during the uprising the so called rebels and pro-democracy forces tossed bureaucrats and civil servants off of five story buildings while also burning civil servants alive in government buildings .Yes Kyle we do need to remember the history and context of the current crisis . The USA lost any moral authority during its disastrous Global War On Terror during which over 2 million have died most of whom were civilians not to mention hundred if not thousands tortured .

 The USA had no hesitancy in bombing hospitals or schools or Mosques or instituting Medieval style sieges on cities such as Fallujah killing thousands using WMDS such as Cluster bombs, white phosphorus, land mines, attack drones and committing numberless War Crimes And Crimes Against Humanity for which the Western powers have given America a pass but in Global politics this has been the usual practice in defending American War Crimes dating back at least to America's crime of dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki which was completely unnecessary no matter what American apologists and propagandists insist. This is all part of the West' legacy .

Lee Camp is joined by the journalist and host of Multipolarista Ben Norton to break down what is going on between Ukraine and Russia. They look to the real causes of Russian actions in Ukraine beyond the Western war propaganda. The story goes back to the 90’s and the dissolution of the Soviet Union when the NATO powers guaranteed the Russian leadership that they wouldn’t expand toward Russian borders. They broke that promise. Then the story moves to a US-backed coup in Ukraine in 2014 and the fallout after separatist movements tried to secede. Norton provides this history and more important context in this moment of insecurity.
