Angela Merkel (*1954), German theoretical physicist and politician, eighth chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, responding to the question why she likes to go on hiking vacation in the Alps during the summer holidays
" Il 7 febbraio [2014], mentre Barack Obama pontificava sul diritto degli ucraini all’autodeterminazione, è stata pubblicata su YouTube (forse dai Servizi russi) una telefonata intercettata fra [Victoria] Nuland* e Geoffrey Pyatt, ambasciatore americano a Kiev: i due già sanno che Yanukovich cadrà e decidono – non si sa bene a che titolo – chi fra i suoi oppositori dovrà essere premier e ministro del futuro governo. La Nuland confida a Pyatt di aver esposto il suo piano di “pacificazione” dell’Ucraina al sottosegretario per gli Affari politici dell’Onu, Jeffrey Feltman, che è intenzionato a nominare un inviato speciale sul posto d’intesa col vicepresidente americano Joe Biden, ma all’insaputa degli alleati della Nato e dell’Ue. «Sarebbe grande!», esulta la Nuland. Che non gradisce come futuro premier ucraino il capo dell’opposizione, l’ex pugile Vitali Klitschko («Non penso sia una buona idea»): meglio l’uomo delle banche Arseniy Yatsenyuk, che infatti andrà al governo di lì a un mese, mentre Klitschko diventerà sindaco di Kiev come premio di consolazione. Pyatt vorrebbe consultare l’Ue, ma la Nuland gli urla: «Fuck the Eu!» (L’Ue si fotta!). Anche il controverso finanziere ungherese George Soros si vanterà di aver partecipato al casting per il nuovo governo ucraino. La cancelliera tedesca Angela Merkel e il presidente del Consiglio Ue Herman Van Rompuy protestano per le «parole assolutamente inaccettabili» della Nuland. Ma non perché gli Usa decidono il governo e il futuro dell’Ucraina come se fosse una loro colonia. Mosca grida al golpe. Ma anche un alto esponente del battaglione Azov (nome di battaglia “Voland”), nel libro Valhalla Exspress tradotto in Italia nel 2022, ammetterà che «la Ue non ci interessava» e che Euromaidan «non fu una rivoluzione, ma un colpo di Stato».

One more thing that pisses me off right now (among so many others) is the way Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are acting as if they have ANY moral high ground.
Let me remind you that seven months after russia's brutal, illegal and unjustified invasion of Georgia (Sakartvelo) filled with war crimes, Obama announced his "russian reset" policy.
Here is Hillary Clinton resetting things with the fascist horse that is Sergey Lavrov:
And here is Obama being buddies with russian then-president dmitriy medvedev, two years after that invasion
This paved the way for russia to commit further atrocities. Because they were only rewarded for them. Russia's later actions in Syria went completely unpunished, and their invasion on Ukraine in 2014 had barely any reaction except for some sanctions that mostly worked just on paper.
You are neck deep in blood. So much blood. Just like your German BFF Angela Merkel, who rewarded russia for its invasion of Ukraine with a shiny Nord Stream 2 pipeline, while also doing everything possible to restrain Ukraine's efforts to defend itself.
I am sick and tired of people (including here on this website) pretty much idolizing these stupid greedy bastards.

P.S. Quote of the day! Finally someone in the West publicly told the truth that Eastern Europe has known for a long time...! The Russian attack on Ukraine would absolutely not have happened without the direct help of several politically useful Western idiots...who directly sabotaged Europe's defense capabilities...
