Both Alexander Mercouris and Moon of Alabama picked up on The Economist’s interview with Zelensky yesterday. Both took Zelensky’s words to be a direct threat that, if tangible support—meaning, weapons and money—for Ukraine fades, Ukrainians living in the West might retaliate with a terror campaign of revenge against the West. There are many, many millions of Ukrainians, both in Europe and in North America, and it only takes a relatively small number of persons to launch such a campaign. As should be well known by now, Ukrainian nationalists have a long history of terroristic style attacks, ranging all the way up to serious attempts at genocide. It was precisely this proclivity for intimidation and outright terrorism directed at non-Ukrainians within the Ukraine that was created by the USSR that led to the present conflict. Ukrainian missile and artillery attacks on purely civilian targets are an everyday occurrence in the Donbass—estimates of deaths over the years since 2014 range up to 14k. All this is simply to say that these threats by Zelensky—while couched in terms that supposedly envision a grass roots campaign of terrorism, not a state sponsored one—should be taken seriously. Zelensky’s studied avoidance of direct encouragement probably should
"Numerous US politicians have given away the game entirely. All that money and weaponry? That’s just America doing war on Russia “on the cheap”—because it’s Ukrainians dying fighting Russia and not Americans."
No sh*t. Douglas Macgregor repeated again today that the Ukraine death toll is now over 400,000. The American death toll: Zero. The Uniparty is all in.
Mitt Romney (U-Utah): “And by the way, being able to take an amount that equals about 5% of our military budget... to help the Ukrainians is about the best national defense spending I think we’ve ever done.”
Lindsey Graham (U-SC): US financing of Ukraine war against Russia is “the best money we've ever spent”.
Mitch McConnell (U-KY): "Helping Ukraine retake its territory means weakening one of America’s biggest strategic adversaries without firing a shot.”
John Cornyn (U-TX): “Even though it’s a lot of money, it’s a small investment relative to a world war.”
By the way, what are the chances these four Uniparty Senators will ever vote to convict their former colleague Joe Biden?
Thanks Mark, most informative. Zelensky’s back’s against the wall as he tries to hide the bullseye. He cooperated with Porky Nuland and company in Project Ukes Are Disposable Tools
I was not expecting "Ukrainian Terror in the West" to be the next pretext for the US government to increase its surveillance and control of people to keep people safe, but covid is over and the climate emergency isn't an emergency, so some good old-fashioned terror will get the job done.
This looks like a "Get out of Jail" card for the neocons. They will claim, rather like they did over Vietnam, that they would have won the war if it hadn't been for the lacklustre performance of the regime they were supporting. As for Ukrainian terrorism, if it happens, let's hope they target the right people and not innocent civilians.

Let's honor the victims of 9/11 by telling the truth:
We were attacked by a terrorist organization that was WORKING FOR the U.S. government.
The proof is available online for anyone brave enough to read it.
And it all ties in to the Bush Family and PNAC-

Of course Robert Kagan and Victoria Nuland front and center.

Your Ukrainian SBU link doesn't work.

Best alternative name anyone has come up with. Ruling Clique. What do you say, Mark?
Methinks it's more a "caste."
LOL! Ask Alexandra Chalupa.
Agree that is the point. Making lemonade out of the lemon that was their proxy war.
