The control freaks in Washington think that only the decisions that Washington makes and imposes on other sovereign countries are democratic. No other country on earth is capable of making a democratic decision.
The world has witnessed this American self- righteousness for eons as Washington overthrows one democratic government after the other and imposes its puppet, as Washington did in Iran in 1953 when the CIA, as it now admits, and as Ervand Abrahamian proves in his book The Coup (The New Press, 2013), overthrew the elected government of Mossadeq, and more recently the elected government of Honduras, and many governments in between.
Currently Washington is working overtime to overthrow the governments of Syria, Iran (again), and Ukraine. Washington has also targeted Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Brazil, and in its wildest dreams the governments of Russia and China.
On January 26 Syrian government advisor Bouthaina Shaaban asked Wolf Blitzer, a propagandist for Washington and the Israel Lobby, on US TV why the US government, speaking through Secretary of State John Kerry, has the right to decide who is to be the government of Syria instead of the Syrian people. (Polls show that Syrian president Assad’s approval ratings exceed those of every Western leader.) Even the slimy Blitzer wasn’t slimy enough to answer, “because we are the exceptional, indispensable people.” But that’s what Washington thinks.
Washington will soon be back at work on destabilizing the government of Iran again, a habit I suppose, but for the moment Washington is focused on destabilizing Ukraine.
Ukraine has a democratically elected government, but Washington doesn’t like it because Washington didn’t pick it. The Ukraine, or the western part of it, is full of Washington-funded NGOs whose purpose is to deliver Ukraine into the clutches of the EU, where US and European banks can loot the country—as they looted, for example, Latvia—and simultaneously weaken Russia by stealing a large part of traditional Russia and converting it into US/NATO military bases against Russia.
Perhaps Putin, an athlete, is distracted by the Olympic Games in Russia. Otherwise, it is something of a puzzle why Russia hasn’t put its nuclear missiles on high alert and occupied the western Ukraine with troops in order to prevent Ukraine’s overthrow by Washington’s money. Every country has citizens that will sell the country out for money, and western Ukraine is overflowing with such traitors.
As we have seen for decades, Arabs and Muslims will sell out their people for Western money. So will western Ukrainians. The NGOs financed by Washington are committed to delivering Ukraine into Washington’s hands where Ukrainians can become American serfs and this integral part of Russia can become a staging ground for the US military.
Of all the violent protests that we have been witnessed to, the Ukrainian one is the most orchestrated.
On February 6, Zero Hedge, one of the intelligent and informed Internet sites, posted a leaked recording from the despicable Victoria Nuland, an Assistant Secretary of State in the Obama Regime. Nuland is caught discussing with the US envoy to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, Washington’s choice for who heads the next Ukrainian government.
Nuland is incensed that the European Union has not joined Washington in imposing sanctions on the Ukrainian government in order to complete Washington’s takeover of Ukraine. Nuland speaks as if she is God with the God-given right to select the government of Ukraine, which she proceeds to do.
The EU, as corrupt as it is by Washington’s money, nevertheless understands being made rich by Washington is no protection against Russian nuclear missiles. Nuland’s response to Europe’s hesitancy to risk its existence for the benefit of US hegemony is: “Fuck the EU.”
Now that you read the brilliant professor Roberts. Please read the troubling story on this site, ON BURMA Then you will understand my post. The Worm Bank and the Fulbright scholar. Two peas in a toilet

This has got to be the stupidist article written about Ukraine that I have ever read. Why did the articles publish such garbage? Mr. Roberts, have you ever been to Ukraine? Can you even locate it on a map? Some of the things you have written are not only stupid but also offensive. You write that Ukraine “is an integral part of Russia”!!! Amazing!! Go look at your atlas and do a little reading about Ukraine and its history. Then you really will feel stupid about what you have written, unless you are just insane. Your allegation that western Ukrainians will sell out their people for western money is extremely offensive and shows that you haven’t got the slightest clue about Ukraine.
Look, get something into your head, Russia is the country meddling in Ukraine’s affairs by far more than and other country in the world. Ukrainians have been demonstrating in the bitter cold for the last 2 months because Yanukovych, who twice did time in jail, and his regime, have robbed Ukraine blind and in doing so have brought the country to the brink of default. Pensions and government wages are ridiculously low and are not paid on time and be delayed up to 6 months. Businesses are simply stolen with the owners arrested and imprisoned on bogus charges. The businesses are then taken over by Yanukovych’s thugs. Elections are hardly free and fair and do not resemble anything remotely similar to democracy. But the list of greivances goes on, it is real, has nothing to do with the US and it unites Ukrainians all around the country against the Yankuvych regime. This is why so many Ukrainians from all around the country rose up against Yanukovych and his band of criminals and it has nothing to do with the US or EU. Your naive and stupid belief that US NGO’s in “western Ukraine” are behind this shows just how ignorant you are about what is going on. I have no love for US foreign policy but you really are giving the US far too much credit for what is going on in Ukraine. I am sure that the Obama administration was was completely taken by surprise when Ukrainians rose up.
LOL!

“Fuck the EU!”
Yes, and what is your point? Please explain. I have no doubt that the US is trying to help the Ukrainian opposition right now. But it really is NOTHING compared to Russian meddling and their “help” for the Yanukovych gang.
You understood my point perfectly well! As indicated by your going from:
“Your allegation that western Ukrainians will sell out their people for western money is extremely offensive and shows that you haven’t got the slightest clue about Ukraine…. [It] has nothing to do with the US…. Your naive and stupid belief that US NGO’s in “western Ukraine” are behind this shows just how ignorant you are about what is going on. I have no love for US foreign policy but you really are giving the US far too much credit for what is going on in Ukraine. I am sure that the Obama administration was was completely taken by surprise when Ukrainians rose up.”
To:
“I have no doubt that the US is trying to help the Ukrainian opposition right now.”
No kidding. LOL!
