W Stanach nie brakuje ludzi,potrafiacych trzezwo oceniac to,co dzieje sie na swiecie.Do nich naleza i autory zalinkowanego przez mnie artykulu o identycznym tytule,co i tytul watku, Katrina vanden Heuvel (Glowny redaktor i wspolwłasciciel "Tha Nation") and Stephen F. Cohen (amerykanski historyk i szanowany w kregach naukowych sowietolog).
Why Is Washington Risking War With Russia?
Autory artykulu nie maja watpliwosci co do tego,kto wywolal kryzys na Ukrainie.
"In November 2013, the European Union, with White House support, triggered the crisis by rejecting Putin’s offer of an EU-Moscow-US financial plan and confronting Ukraine’s elected president, Viktor Yanukovych, with an unnecessary choice between “partnership” with Europe or with Russia. The proposal was laden with harsh financial conditions as well as “military and security” obligations. Not surprisingly, Yanukovych opted for a considerably more favorable financial offer from Putin. Imposing such a choice on the president of an already profoundly divided country was needlessly provocative.
By February, street protests against Yanukovych’s decision turned so violent that European foreign ministers brokered a compromise agreement tacitly supported by Putin. Yanukovych would form a coalition government; Kiev street militias would disarm; the next presidential election would be moved up to December; and Europe, Washington and Moscow would cooperate to save Ukraine from financial collapse. The agreement was overthrown by ultranationalist street violence within hours. Yanukovych fled, and a new government was formed. The White House quickly endorsed the coup."
p.s. Z niecierpliwoscia czekam na post felusiaka jednego :-)
