This is an article about journalistic malpractice, which has become so common in our day that it's almost invisible unless you're paying close attention.
It seems like the entire media, large and small, swallowed the bait, following the Big Lie of the decadent and subservient West, lapdogs of Uncle Sam. Even many progressive radio commentators call it "Putin's War", or "Russian aggression."
I haven't spent a cent buying a NYT newspaper in two decades, as they following the warpath propaganda put forth by American capitalists and the "international bankers."
“As is well-known and documented, the neo–Nazis who infest the Armed Forces of Ukraine.” Er no it’s not, other than by people like you. I’ve spoken to a woman who fought with the Azov batallion in Mariupol, who was definitely no Nazi and she denies it has lots of neo-Nazis, despite its connections with dubious types at the beginning. But don’t ask me, ask democratic Russians, you know, the ones who don’t lie for a living. They’ll tell you it’s BS. Better still, ask Ukrainians. And Ukrainians from left-wing organisations like @SocRuch .
I suppose I shouldn’t have expected better from a publication that publishes articles claiming that Russian war crimes in Bucha, Irpin and Mariupol were actually committed by the Ukrainians to pin it on the Russians, despite every organisation under the sun demonstrating beyond doubt they were done by the Russians.
Calling Belling Cat a CIA cutout is a stock-in-trade Russian disinformation slur put about by Kremlin shills and propagandists, so I guess that tells us something about where you’re coming from.

I come from Hungary and we experience firsthand the destruction of Ukrainian Sovonism (because it is not nationalism). The Ukrainians persecute and terrorize all national minorities, not only the Russians. And that's a fact. And if Soviet colonization hurts you so much, why doesn't Transcarpathia, which was Hungarian territory, with a native Hungarian population, hurt?
Link you shared does not support your statement: "The Crimean Tatars and Jews certainly don’t agree with you about which regime is preferable, Kyiv or Moscow." I was interested to read more about that. Is this the correct link?
That was an example of the human rights group Crimean Process supporting a Ukrainian arrested and tortured by the occupation forces. But better articles here on the Crimean Tatars:
Hope you are being well paid for this. What is your soul’s value, exactly. Dollars, pounds or euros. Any one will do. The can do the necessary conversion arithmetic.
In WW2, the Ukrainians in the western party of that republic supportedthe Third Reich, wheras the Ukrainians in the eastern half of the nation supported the Soviet Union. 77 years later, it's still basically the same!
The only significant far right party in Ukraine, Svoboda, got just 2% of votes and one seat in Parliament in the 2019 elections. And Svoboda is more like Le Pen in France, AFD in Germany or MAGA Republicans, not actual Nazism. So not seeing a lot of support across the country there. Every region of Ukraine voted for independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The lowest yes vote outside Crimea (where vote for independence was 56%) was 83%. Again, I’d recommend listening to Ukrainians on these issues, eg those in my above tweet
And yet they run the fucking country -- and ran it into the wall of the Russian military. And even Zelensky, who ran and won on the platform of peace with Russia, got his mind right with the project. They aren't popular with most Ukrainians thank God but that doesn't mean they aren't in key positions dictating policy and the war.
Just like in the US, we have this horrid group of shits we call "neocons" who run our foreign policy, (also into a wall) that most Americans simply despise. Yet for all our voting they never go away. I can't stress enough how hijacked US foreign policy is by creepy weasels like Victoria Nuland, her pig of a husband and hundreds of other little busy beavers whose sole project in life is hating Russia and seeking to destroy it. Pathetic that our once great nation has been taken over by such hate-blinded incompetents. It would've been so easy to bring Russia on-side as the Brits say. Then China would've been isolated and all their shitty dreams of neoliberal financial oligarchy could've been realized. Oh well. Now the world is turning to Russia and China and peace, the one thing these creeps hate more than Russia, is breaking out all over the middle east and Asia. They've already failed in their "grand chessboard" games and frankly I'm relieved. Relieved in the hope that this will be the final catastrophic failure that will get them the fuck out of power once and for all.
Read the articles and tweets, and if you disagree get in touch with the Ukrainians, Crimean Tatars and Russians directly and dispute it with them. I can help if you like. I’m sure they’ll be happy to help if you’ve got an open mind.
If there's one thing the west does well anymore, it's produce propaganda. We're positively exploding with this shit. I can link to a thousand pieces saying all sorts of wonderful things about Ukrainian Nazis and Stepan Bandera -- the man who murdered my family. I'm agreement incapable with NATO propaganda so pedal it elsewhere and stop with the online tough guy act. It's boring and makes you look stupid and thuggish.
The articles don’t say wonderful things about Bandera. They say Banderaites don’t run the country. Which is pretty obvious. If you think the Ukrainian Socialist movement or the Crimean Tatars are spouting NATO propaganda you’re obviously not very well informed.
I have zero sympathy for NYT reporters. Traitors to democracy. Great article from real journalists. Thanks.
An outstanding article !!
US supports rising Nazism in Europe while claiming that white racism is the biggest threat domestically ?!?!

The Oh So Not Nazis infesting Ukraine proclaim themselves to be Nazis.
Surely, that's just a LARP.

So you’d say that to the face to the people at Soc Ruch, Boris? No, I didn’t think so.

“The Ukrainians” do? What garbage. The Crimean Tatars and Jews certainly don’t agree with you about which regime is preferable, Kyiv or Moscow.

What’s your soul’s value, defending a genocidal invasion? would you dare speak directly to the Ukrainians and Tatars? I didn’t think so.

Impressive display of propaganda there Dave. They pay you by the hour, the word or is this piece work? Please don't tell me you do it for free.

Goebbels-Nuff said.
