The violence in Ukraine is unimaginable. But before the violence, there was violence.
The military conflict in Ukraine has received an unprecedented amount of media coverage. The major US networks have given more coverage to Russia’s war in Ukraine than they did to America’s war in Iraq. But there were very important military dimensions prior to the war in Ukraine, many of them focussed around the coup of 2014, that have gone almost unreported. The lack of reporting is important because those events played a role in the lead up to the war.

Faina Savenkova: We all want to live, a very simple and understandable desire (Updated)
There are not many things that can truly unite different people. Because it’s always the differences that take over. “How?! Do you drink tea in the morning instead of coffee? No, I’m sorry, we don’t see eye to eye. Our views on life are too different.” “Ah! You prefer to walk on the left side of the street?! This is monstrous! The only correct decision is to walk on the right side, and the other choices are wrong! Stay away from me!”

“This war is not a war between Russians and Ukrainians,” says the Texan Russell Bentley in a documentary interview about why he came to help fight for the Russian side after 2014’s fascist U.S. coup in Ukraine. “It’s not a Ukrainian civil war, it’s really a war between good and evil. It’s a war between genuine Nazis, and normal people.”

Fascinating Timing: Home of Ukrainian Oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky Raided
While the FBI was busy conducting a “planned search” of U.S. President Joe Biden’s Delaware beach house (which follows their search of his Wilmington residence in January and, we just recently learned, the Penn Biden Center in November), Ukrainian officials were carrying out a search at the home of oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky. Why reference them in the same sentence? We’ll return to that.
