It’s interesting to revisit in hindsight the events in Ukraine in February 2014.

A number of red flags were obvious right at the time. Why would the US start a coup in Kiev a few months from the elections, already scheduled for October, and not gently manipulate the outcome of the elections? $5 million spent to prepare the coup? How many votes could $5 million buy?

Furthermore, there is some inter-party mismatch of allegiances. We see today that ZioPutin is a staunch supporter of Israel and Netanyahoo. We also know that the neocons, specifically the extended family of Kaplans, which includes Victoria Nuland and her husband, are also staunchly pro Israel.

So why on Earth would the same neocons have gone on the record as being the leaders of the attack to harm Israel’s best ally, that is, Putin’s Russia? Why would they not use proxies, as in so many other cases when there is a perception of underhanded double cross? Did they act by choosing the better of two bad outcomes, supporting the European allies versus supporting Putin? Not really. As we were made aware in a very public and repeated message from Victoria herself: “F’ the Europeans”. No, Victoria Nuland didn’t profess to be acting for the benefit of the Europeans. On the contrary, she directly discredited and disparaged them.

So, then again, why the timing of the coup in Kiev, why claim that such a coup would redeem Ukrainians’ centuries-old national aspirations, and then why bring to power, in the same Ukraine for Ukrainians, one Jewish oligarch after another? Poroshenko, Timoshenko, Zelensky, Kolomoisky, just to name a few at the very top.

Could it be something else? Think about the war of attrition. Who wins by the loss of the best men among the Slavic nations? Not the Slavs, for sure.

But then there is another war going on and that involves the Jews against another native population. In a normal state of the world, wouldn’t it be natural to have the Slavs and the Palestinians join efforts against the same Jewish control? Yes, it would be natural, but it didn’t happen.

And that brings us back to the strange silence coming from Putin’s Russia, and that includes the “Russians” across the whole federation of Russia. Never a word of condemnation of the genocide of the Palestinians, never a word of disagreement with Netanyahoo’s slaughter. Never a single street demonstration against the atrocities perpetrated by Israel.

But Russia got its pound of flesh. It got back Crimea. It got back Donbass and certainly more to come.

Sanctions? Yes, but not really. Russia had some losses from the so-called sovereign fund, $200 billion? Or $300 billion?! But instead of incurring simple loses, it confiscated all the stupid Westerners’ investments in Russia, worth many many times more.

Now it becomes more clear. It was a quid pro quo. You, Russia, keep quiet and stay away from any support for the Palestinians. And in exchange we’ll help you invade another sovereign country, take one third or half of it and get away with it. We will create an anti-Russian coup in Ukraine. Half the world will sympathize with the poor, suffering Russians and will accept the just war that Russia will then carry out against its neighbor.

The coup in Kiev in February 2014 was a fraud. It wasn’t against Russia. It was against the poor desperate Ukrainians hoping for a better life, only to be sent to the slaughter.
