It's very curious that in a long article on how US neo-nazis are being inspired and trained by neo-nazis in Ukraine, no mention is made of the fact that the US supported these Ukranian neo-nazis when they were overthrowing the democratically elected government of Ukraine in 2014 (which, not surprisingly, leaned toward Russia which is its immediate neighbor and the country it was part of for hundreds of years).
There is a simple word for this kind of thing, identified long ago by Chalmers Johnson: Blowback.
The relentless US drive to fight Russia through proxies all over the world, occasionally comes back to haunt us. We saw this previously as the US armed the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan, in order to sink it's (fairly progressive) Russian allied government in the late 1970's. That was the beginning of Al Qaeda.
But American Centrists turn this around and pretend it's Russia and other foreign actors causing us all the trouble, failing to connect the dots back to us. Dots which recently happen to connect back to the Obama administration, not Trump's, and the 2014 Maidan Coup orchestrated by the Obama Administration and the usual regime-change agencies and CIA properties.
