Ukraine has been goading and discriminating against its ethnic Russian minority population for many years. Eventually, in February 2014, largely in response to this, the Russians took back the Crimea, which has historically always been a part of Russia; however, it was conceded by the drunken crook Boris Yeltsin when the Soviet Union fell apart in 1991. This caused the regime in Kiev to cobble together a new Constitution that is grossly discriminatory towards the Russians, alongside every other ethnic minority in that corrupt cess pit of a country. Independent and reliable sources estimate that more than 14,000 ethnic Russians have been killed by Ukraine’s armed forces in the eight years that have passed since then. They have been subjected to recurrent artillery bombardment by the very same army that is, in theory at least, supposed to be their protectors and who also delight in preventing terrified civilians from fleeing for the safety of the border. Oddly enough, nobody in the West seems to feel the urge to signal any virtue for these unfortunate men, women and children.
Anybody who is tempted to weep for Ukraine might be well advised to conduct a little independent research of their own, rather than listen to the lies spewing out of that Idiot Lantern in the corner of the lounge. Ukraine is the only country on Earth, and the first one since 1945, to include a Nazi regiment inside its own official armed forces. It is also steeped in National Socialist symbolism. It is, for example, the only place on the planet where you will be confronted with the Black Sun motif on an almost daily basis.
If you are a foreigner of any description, if you are black, if you are Jewish, if you are gay, then Ukraine is a very bad place indeed to be. Somehow, the boys and girls in the media bubble appear to have been too busy to notice.
