The Hill, the democrat newspaper—where James Carville, Dick Morris, and CIA spook Michael Hayden acted as staff—has posted yet another delusional op-ed on Ukraine, this time by an ethnic Ukrainian, a professor of political science at Rutgers University.
Alexander J. Motyl appears to be confused. He has a problem digesting the fact the “global South” wants nothing to do with Biden’s flirtation with thermonuclear destruction. Mr. Motyl, billed as a “specialist” on Ukraine, argues the simplistic good versus evil mantra used to demonize Russia is a good thing.

While it’s true that many geopolitical issues are characterized by shades of gray, it is also true that some, perhaps even many, are black and white. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is one such case. Ukraine posed no imaginable threat to Vladimir Putin’s imperially minded, nuclear-armed, and fascist Russia: Ukraine’s army, economy and population were all significantly smaller than Russia’s and Kyiv harbored no aggressive designs.
I’m not sure how this guy became a Ukraine “specialist.” Kyiv in fact does harbor “aggressive designs” against ethnic Russians. It has killed 14,000 of them since Vicky Nuland and the neocons embedded in the USG State Department engineered a coup in 2014, overthrowing an elected president.
The “imaginable threat” is everywhere in western Ukraine. Is it possible Mr. Motyl is unaware of Stepan Andriyovych Bandera and his legacy of torture, rape, murder, and genocide?
Is he unaware of Svoboda, Right Sector, C14, and Azov Battalion? Is it possible he never heard of Andriy Biletsky and the Patriot of Ukraine?
Is he unfamiliar with Mykola Lebed, a top aide to Stepan Bandera, the leader of the fascist OUN-B? He was recruited by the CIA.
Does Motyl recall the crimes of Yaroslav Stetsko? He oversaw the massacre of 7,000 Jews in Lviv. Stetsko was personally invited to the White House by then-President Reagan. But then, as Operation Paperclip revealed, the USG and its CIA have an affinity for neo-nazi thugs.
Maybe this academic USG narrative-pusher does not know the neo-nazi war criminal Bandera is an official “Hero of Ukraine.” So loved is the memory of this murderous thug, there are streets in Kyiv named after him and torchlit parades (reminiscent of the Nazi procession on Adolf-Hitler-Platz in Nuremberg) are held in remembrance of his crimes.
It is possible many folks reading this op-ed in The Hill know virtually nothing about the history of Russia and Ukraine. Motyl’s mischaracterizations (more accurately, war propaganda) about Russia will undoubtedly be accepted as fact. Only the “alternative” media distorts, not corporate “news” behemoths, most demanding payment to read war propaganda.
Moreover, everyone — including the Russians — knew full well that Ukraine stood no chance of joining NATO for at least two decades. Everyone also knew that the United States and Ukraine had no plans to deploy missiles on Ukraine’ eastern border. It’s certainly possible that the Russian elite was delusional and paranoid and perceived a threat where none existed. But the psychological maladies of criminals surely cannot be blamed on the victims of their violence.
NATO membership is not on the table because Ukraine is the most corrupt and poverty-stricken nation in Europe. Despite this, “Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro and North Macedonia said they ‘firmly stand behind’ a NATO decision made at the 2008 Bucharest summit on Ukraine’s membership prospects to the alliance,” reports Euractiv.
Last September, Ukraine applied for fast-track NATO membership. It should be noted, however, one of the requirements for membership is “the fair treatment of minority populations.” No doubt the USG’s corporate propaganda conduits will paper over Ukraine’s racial discrimination, xenophobia, and racially-motivated violence against ethnic minorities (see “Ukraine: Treatment of ethnic minorities, including Roma; state protection”).
Perhaps this stenographic “editorialist” forgot about the HIMARS missiles supplied by the USG. “The weapons system, known as the ground-launched Small Diameter Bomb, is a rocket-launched maneuverable glide bomb with double the range of the HIMARS missiles Washington has already provided,” writes Andre Damon. In other words, they will be used to kill Russian citizens.
