^^ I read the whole twitter thread, which is not something I do normally. If it would be nice if they find the actual Uighurs textbook, not arguing over empty screenshot of a doc. Maybe talk to the Free Xinjiang people and find the textbook?

Biden and Democrats love love love Ukraine and hate hate hate Russia, so perhaps they feel like this is their moment to get NATO to come to the rescue? The nazis in charge of Ukraine ought to hope that NATO does, because Russia will mop them up without the West propping them up.

You have some reading to do. https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/neo-nazis-far-right-ukraine/

The imperialist West installs far-right regimes wherever and whenever they can. There is a long history of the US and CIA doing destabilizing governments or overthrowing them outright, and in utter hypocrisy we give less than a poo poo how democratic or genocidal those new regimes are right up to the point they turn on the West.

It's not some big secret how much power the far right wields in Ukraine. But hey, if Biden gets a chance to avenge Hillary I guess we'll happily throw in with the far right abroad (whilst "denouncing" the far right at home, lol) if it means sticking it to Putin.

didn’t they start out with loudly claiming that the scientists were hindered by the devious authoritarian orientals, only to have actual members of the team push back and say that no, they were in fact given all the information they asked for?

So if the people on this thread are to be believed, Biden is instigating the tension between Ukraine and Russia? Obviously the US doesn't care about Ukraine that much, but a new round of Ukraine-Russia conflict will build up the big bad Russkies to push EU back toward NATO and further sever the Nordstream project, and also in a backhand way move the congress's attention away from China, and away from the Iran talk.

...I guess it can work in the short term? I am not sure Biden has thought this one through. I guess he doesn't have time to care about what will happen 2,3 years down the road.

Basically the Ukrainian government has spent the last 30 years encouraging nationalist myths because otherwise there's little basis for an independent Ukraine.

It comes down to a lot of crying about communism and the mean old russians oppressing Ukraine while simultaneously lionizing actual nazi collaborators as brave freedom fighters.

Predictably this has driven much of the Ukrainian people insane.

Similar things have occured in poland, hungary and the rest of the former Warsaw Pact. Essentially the blackest reaction, Stalin predicted
