NatĂŒrlich kommt kein Buch aus dieser Richtung ohne die Behauptung aus, der "Euromaidan", sei ein US Putsch gewesen (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euromaidan).

Zum einen sind so Ukrainer wieder nur Schachfiguren, zum andern kann man so den USA bzw. Westen die Schuld am #Ukrainekrieg zuschwurbeln.

Wember hat sich oberflĂ€chlich beschĂ€ftigt. So gibt es vom Juli 2021 das Essay von Wladimir Putin "Zur historischen Einheit von Russen und Ukrainern", indem er die Existenz einer ukrainischen Nation bestreitet und den Westen fĂŒr Zerfall der SU verantwortlich macht, das eben #Russlands KriegsgrĂŒnde sehr gut erklĂ€rt: Auslöschung der #Ukraine als Staat und Nation. Genau das dĂŒrfte Imperialismus sein!

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zur_historischen_Einheit_von_Russen_und_Ukrainern

Und natĂŒrlich darf die ErwĂ€hnung von Zbigniew #BrzeziƄski und seinem Buch "The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives.", nicht fehlen.

Oder Gefasels ĂŒber mögliche "#Atomraketen", der USA in der Ukraine. Die bei einem einem möglichen #NATO Beitritt aufgestellt wĂŒrden, als wĂ€re das irgendwie ein Automatismus,
Selbst der Beitritt zur NATO war ja hoch umstritten, wurde von DE & Frankreich blockiert und bloß weil man NATO Mitglied ist hat nicht sofort US Atomwaffen stationiert.

The foreign policy titan who saw this moment coming

The Soviet Union was gone. The economy was strong. The US seemed invincible. But Brzezinski feared that a decline in US leadership was coming – and that it would be disastrous for both the US and the rest of the world.

> Brzezinski, #JimmyCarter’s national-security adviser, later boasted .. that the president had “signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul” six months prior to the invasion. “And that very day,” #Brzezinski recalled, “I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention.” The war that inevitably followed killed a million Afghans.

Scarborough - lemm.ee

I once read a poli-sci book of case studies in how good and bad presidential decisions were made. Two of the chapters were “Placing People” and “Placing Institutions”. The gist of it was: know who you’re dealing with. Where did Brezhnev spend his formative years? Who influenced him? What was his mindset as he rose to his current position? Let’s do that with Joe Scarborough. Joe was a far-right Gingrich Republican. He wanted to focus on eviscerating the public school system. For some reason he left politics to become a media personality. He spent a few decades putting right-wing spin on the daily news every morning on cable TV. Pretty much like Rush Limbaugh, but a little more subtle and not on the radio. After years of Hillary-bashing (everybody was doing it, led by the New York Times, of course. it was all the rage) in 2015 Joe was EAGER to become a Trump Republican. Somehow they had a falling out, but Scarborough went on normalizing the orange fascist criminal regime just like the vast majority of elected Democrats and 99% of the media. I never wasted much time on Scarborough. The few times I watched, however, he was putting right wing spin on the events of the day. Simply Limbaugh-light. Politicians and TV personalities are pretty narcissistic. Their egos are inextricably entwined with their images and careers. Promoting their egos/careers is priority one. Scarborough is emblematic of this phenomenon. He seems to have no consistent principles at all. Every step he takes appears designed to promote his image and career. So any time there are hints that sincere belief in noble ideals are driving his rhetoric I become extremely skeptical. Just a brief look at his history means there’s no way to give him the benefit of the doubt. I don’t believe for a minute that he’d tell us the unvarnished truth simply because it’s true. He probably accidentally says some true stuff sometimes, when it happens to be good for his career, but I wouldn’t trust that guy to watch my dog for 5 minutes while I try to find a restroom.

@HikerGeek @Nechesh

Yeah. He's had plenty of time to explain how and why that trip was productive or useful and he's come up with nothing.

It still looks like the only purpose was to kiss some orange fascist ass.

Jesse Dollemore made a pretty good video about it.
