I suppose I had 'skin in the game' because my own grandmother was murdered, along with about 100,000 other civilians in the latter part of WW2, when Ukrainian fascist militias, allied with the Germans, ran amok, slaughtering, Jews, Poles, Gypsies... So there was a kind of ghastly, terrible, irony, rather frightening too, that the fascists in Ukraine, were suddenly being lionized and rehabilitated, not just inside Ukraine, but in the West and in the minds of ignorant and stupid, middle class, media wankers from the Thames Valley!
What was going on? Was the next step the rehabilitation of the NAZIs and Hitler? Why not?
If any two peoples are really close, intertwind, it's Russians and Ukrainians, for centuries. Seeing them killing each other is terrible. It's like the American Civil War, or any other civil war. A million dead or wounded Ukrainians. Sacrificed like bloody pawns on a bloody chessboard, not for Ukraine, but for Washington and London. I hope there's a day of reckoning.
