Ukraine from 2014

The headline to this article about the Biden documents is somewhat misleading.

 It doesn't actually establishe what the documents are about at all.  That has not been made public, as the article makes clear, and might not be made public officially, unless someone decides to leak it (it suggests Republicans might leak parts most harmful to democrats).

It's just a large "what if" and noting a few strange coincidences:

The docs were found in a "think tank" office Biden used in 2014 (during the Maidan Revolution).

On the same day as this story on the documents, the NYTimes also runs an article on the 2014 Maidan Revolution.

Funny.

However what I like about the article is the fairly complete story of the how the 2014 Maidan Revolution captured Ukraine, through fascist clients, for the US empire.

It's more complete and well summarized as any such account I've seen.  And it's basically the story I believe.

Do I know people who find fault with some or all of these claims, calling them "Russian Propaganda" and positing something entirely different?

Yes I do, and I'd like to see the most knowledgeable on each side go point by point.

But generally I find the people who defend the western side leave out so much impartial context and background, so their hyperbolic statements begin to seem like little other than anti-Russian prejudice of the deepest kind, making one doubt all the rest too.  The worst of this kind is the US historian Timothy Snyder, but anti-Russian prejudice and paranoia has particularly permiated DNC-leaning media including MSNBC, CNN, and NPR/PBS.

Putin is always the arch-villain, a monster unlike any other than Stain (in their accounting) in world history.

Such accounts damn themselves, and even open up rehabilitation of Stalin himself.  We see how US imperialists lie now, it follows they did then too, and one can see similar constructs.

More and more people think we need someone like Stalin now.

But Stalin did not just arise in a vacuum.  Stalin was the survivor of an original team, which was part of a vanguard party, which was part of a movement of many socialist parties.

So, what we actually need is all that, and such a movement not confused by US propaganda.

UNAC is a good example.
