The victims of the "tragic fire" in Odessa, which makes it sound like some kind of accident rather than a deliberate mass murder, "were not trade union activists but supporters of the overthrown regime who took refuge there after clashing with opponents" so that's all right then I suppose? Also, the "clashing" there is doing a lot of heavy lifting. They've obviously learned from the Israelis. It all sounds much better than "they were protesting but were attacked by these nazi maniacs and when they took refuge in the union hall were burned alive and the survivors beaten to death if they jumped out. Not trade union activists though so hey ho. The best way to ensure that US militarism is pushed out of Europe is to encourage the development of strong, independent countries whose borders are respected by their neighbours, not to view these countries as pawns in an inter-imperialist chess game. Wow. That's basically a direct illustration of the mirror principle (whatever they say is the opposite of the truth). A policy of arming Ukraine with lethal weapons to defend itself and regain control of its sovereign territory can speed progress towards peace talks that result in a lasting settlement. Ah, War is Peace. Wonderful. I wonder if they mean a lasting settlement like the Minsk accords? The whole thing is a litany of spin, twisting and distortion. I think they must feel opinion is beginning to turn against the proxy war (perhaps because too much truth is leaking out!) for them to think they have to try this.
