Those who think that Israel is guilty of genocide as if that is something unique to the Middle East, are obviously blind to the the entire region of the Balkans and Ukraine. This is the motherland of ethnic cleansing and genocide that the Western Press is paid to ignore. Trying to achieve peace in the Balkans may be more difficult than getting it to snow in Hell. The Balkans’ ethnic tensions stem from a mix of historical, political, and cultural factors that have compounded over centuries. Ukraine may not be in the Balkans and is technically part of Eastern Europe, the same ethnic hatreds that dominate the Balkans including ethnical cleansing is part of the dark side of Ukraine that cannot be ignored if we hope to even attempt to craft peace moving forward.
The Ustaša regime, officially known as the Independent State of Croatia (Nezavisna Država Hrvatska, NDH), was a fascist puppet state established during World War II, from 1941 to 1945, under the control of the Ustaša movement. Led by Ante Pavelić, the regime was aligned with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy and ruled over parts of modern-day Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia.
The Ustaša was a Croatian ultranationalist and fascist organization founded in 1929, with a violent ideology centered on creating an ethnically “pure” Croatian state. When Axis powers invaded Yugoslavia in April 1941, the Ustaša was installed by Germany and Italy to govern the NDH. Stepan Andriyovych Bandera (1909–1959), the hero of Ukraine, adopted the exact same policies of killing anyone who was of not Ukrainian blood to achieve the exact same result – a purged national state of pure-blooded Ukrainians the same as Adolf Hitler. The Ukrainian National Hero was far worse than anything out of Israel. Bandera carried out genocide against the Polish, and US intelligence protected him.
The NY Times showed the Ukrainian Nazis executing a woman and throwing her child in the pit alive to die along side his mother because they were ethnic Jews. There are documented accounts of cutting babies out of the womb and sewing in a live cat that even horrified the German Nazis. It is embarrassing to be on the wrong side of history all because the Neocons, bloodthirsty vampires themselves, harbor this same ethnic cleansing for Russians inherited from Bandera.
Bandera’s legacy remains polarizing: revered by some Ukrainian nationalists as a freedom fighter, condemned by others (especially in Poland, Russia, and Jewish communities) as a fascist and war criminal. After WWII, the Soviets repeatedly demanded Bandera’s extradition as a war criminal. The U.S. Army’s Counterintelligence Corps (CIC) refused, hiding his location in the American occupation zone of Germany. This allowed Bandera to operate freely in Munich for 15 years, plotting anti-Soviet actions. While not a CIA operation (the CIA formed in 1947), it set the stage for Cold War intelligence use of Ukrainian nationalists. As long as Bandera hated Russians, it did not matter how many hundreds of thousands of Jews he exterminated, all of his crimes were forgiven only because he was killing Russians as well. The US continued to support the very policies of Adolf Hitler, they just focused on Russians instead of Jews.
