Two days ago, speaking to the Russian Federation\u2019s Federal Assembly, Vladimir Putin declared Crimea, a part of Ukraine\u2019s territory, part of Russia. The fifty minutes long triumphant speech \u2013 received with standing ovation \u2013 completed the twenty days illegal intervention into a sovereign state in the middle of Europe. It took Putin less than three weeks and a little under an hour to dismantle the system of international security which took the global community almost seventy years to build. The world looked on in silent disbelief.<\/span><\/p>\n

How was this possible? How could a state which was among the founding-members of the United Nations so cynically trample its very foundation? Not without the support of its brutal propaganda machine by the unscrupulous media in the West, including the US.<\/p>\n

On March 13, Los Angeles Times published an op-ed piece by Robert English \u201cUkraine\u2019s threat from within\u201d. In a nutshell, the article justifies Putin\u2019s aggression in Crimea, bluntly stating that \u201cRussian worry [that fascists are on a crusade to ethnically cleanse Russian-speaking Ukrainians] is well founded\u201d.<\/p>\n

So when Putin says that he sent in the Russian army into Crimea to stop fascists \u2013 which he has done every time when he tried to explain his madness to the international community \u2013 he is, according to LA Times, telling the truth.<\/p>\n

And when the citizens of the Western countries, including the US, don\u2019t see any real response to the Kremlin\u2019s aggression \u2013 they believe that their governments\u2019 inaction, according to LA Times, is justified, because defending neo-Nazis doesn\u2019t make any sense and wouldn\u2019t be right.<\/p>\n

The problem is that the story about the rise of neo-fascists in Ukraine, as told by the LA Times and many other Western media, is a far cry from the truth. Robert English\u2019s account of the current political situation in Ukraine is a cynical distortion of reality, based on manipulation, over-exaggeration and outright lies.<\/p>\n

At the center of English\u2019s effort to warn the West about the evil Ukrainian neo-Nazis is the Ukraine\u2019s Svoboda party, whose leaders, he writes, \u201cpublicly praise many aspects of Nazism\u201d and are hell-bent on \u201cratcheting up pressure on Ukraine\u2019s Russian-speaking minority\u201d.<\/p>\n

This is a misguided exaggeration, the kind which then appears word-for-word in in Russia\u2019s justificatory speeches in the UN Security Council. While English conveniently calls Russia\u2019s brazen annexation of Crimea, recognized by the UN as a flagrant breach of international law on the scale unseen after the Hitler\u2019s annexation of the Czechoslovakia\u2019s Sudetenland in 1938, \u201cPutin\u2019s maneuvers in Crimea\u201d, he has no qualms with calling neo-fascists the party, which daily reassures domestic and international audiences that their political rhetoric is aimed solely at the jingoistic neo-imperialist Kremlin, not the Russian-speaking people in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

English\u2019s other statement, according to which Ukraine\u2019s World War II nationalist leader Stepan Bandera, whose patriotic views have been the source of inspiration for many participants of the recent Euromaidan protests, massacred thousands of Poles and Jews, is simply a manifest lie. A quick look at Bandera\u2019s profile at least in Wikipedia explains why.<\/p>\n

So next time when you hear Putin telling the world that his military aggressions are based on the grounds which even the Western media believe are well-founded, drop a quick thank-you email to LA Times.<\/p>\n
