An absolutely fascinating look into the mind of an Ukronazi

Note by the Saker: when “AB” send me a link with the subject heading “Outright Nazis” I was expecting some Ukronazi skinhead photos, or maybe a report about a Ukie death-squad.  Instead, I got an absolutely fascinating insight into not only the kind of delusional insanity which takes place in the minds of these Ukronazis, but also a look into the kind of propaganda which (US financed) Radio Liberty targets at its Ukrainian audience.

I urge everybody to carefully read every word of this amazing piece of candid insanity as it is crucial to understand the kind of people the Empire put in power in Kiev and the kind of people Europe will now have to deal with.

NATO Says It Might Now Have Grounds to Attack Russia

by Eric Zuesse

On Tuesday, June 14th, NATO announced that if a NATO member country becomes the victim of a cyber attack by persons in a non-NATO country such as Russia or China, then NATO’s Article V“collective defense” provision requires each NATO member country to join that NATO member country if it decides to strike back against the attacking country. The preliminary decision for this was made two years ago after Crimea abandoned Ukraine and rejoined Russia, of which it had been a part until involuntarily transferred to Ukraine by the Soviet dictator Nikita Khrushchev in 1954. That NATO decision was made in anticipation of Ukraine’s ultimately becoming a NATO member country, which still hasn’t happened. However, only now is NATO declaring cyber war itself to be included as real “war” under the NATO Treaty’s “collective defense” provision.
