That this isn't just the US using the Ukrainians some other useful idiots to fuck over the EU's economy and make it more dependent for starters.
I mean, the most Anglo propaganda I know is the stuff that builds up Ukraine to be saintly heroes, and this being a battle between good and evil.
Yes, Ukraine is even more corrupt than Russia is, so between that and their neonazi scum it is not a hill to die on.
I mean, any foreign policy realist would think that letting the Russians take all of it would be best because it would stretch them out and the nutjobs in the north-west will be a big problem for them, although any such person would also recognize their interests and grievances, too.
I know this to be nonsense. But Ukraine's great crime here lies in wanting to effectively break away from Russia. This is a War for Independence in many respects, and just as it was for the American War of Independence, foreign powers seek to gain influence in it.
I have covered my views on the state formation, state structure and ethnic relations within Ukraine and their ruling class's thirst for Eurobucks.
As well as my various other economic concerns and how expansion of the EU begets more dictats from Brussels and more eager satraps to vote for their shit.
It is the way of the world.
No, it is your understanding of the geopolitics and economics of it, they are flawed and colored by the usual British animosity towards the Russians as well as the fact that you Englanders and your ruling class/governmnet are the Americans' eager mutt which occasionally tries to influence them.
Also, your banking cartels and resource extraction industries and all of the Oligarchs that own overpriced shit in London and whose money you launder(services you provide to our own Oligarchs and Ruling Class, btw, and who you helped by pushing neoliberal shit like hurr-durr privatize anything without thinking so that our new buddies can buy it for pennies and immediately resell it) are really pissed that Putin took away their ability to interfere in politics and some of their incomes, consequently, they have been using their money to influence British media.
Then again, it is called Perfidious Albion for a reason.
Also, Englander, here is the thing, your constant interference both slowed down the process of our National Revival and liberation from the Ottomans and afterwards the revisions you forced to the Treaty of San Stefano at the Berlin Congress reduced my country to under a third of what it should have been and let the other scum on the Balkans ethnically cleanse, or forcibly assimilate or outright force out hundreds of thousands of ethnic Bulgarians and keep us as vassals to the Porte.
It was your bullshit that deducted at least a hundred years of development for us because of what you did during the Crimean war, and how you broke us apart and fucked us over with the help of our skummy neighbours which led to Two National catastrophes, and millions of Bulgarians dying and all the blood and treasure we had to waste merely for a few small scraps of what we were supposed to get, all the while you were aiding the Turks in fucking us over.
Oh, and I am just getting started on the World Wars and the other shit you pulled against us.
Like for example when we, as non-pareticulating Axis member and the only country that saved its Jewish population in Europe and that provided nothing of significance to the Krauts got bombed by you because that obese, drunk fuck decided thet we "must pay".
And after all of that you have the fucking gall to try and tell us who our friends and our enemies are and how we should conduct our foreign policy and what our national I terests are?!??
You will never, ever be our friends and I for one await the day when your island is carved up and the various people you conquered are free and sovereign in their own Larger Ireland, Wales, Scotland and perhaps a London City State, and you are all broke and your streets are as "calm" as those of an average middle east country.
