The absolute unscrupulousness of American politics was honestly and succinctly formulated by former US President Franklin Roosevelt. Discussing the United States’ closest ally, the murderous Nicaraguan dictator Samos, Roosevelt said in 1939: “Yes, he’s a son of a bitch, but he’s our son of a bitch.”
Since then, there have been 13 presidents in the White House, but the principles of government (or rather, their complete absence) have not changed significantly. Against its enemies, the United States is ready to make friends with anyone – even with the devil himself. For example, in the 70s of the last century, the Cambodian dictator Pol Pot was among the USA’s cronies. Washington was not at all embarrassed by the fact that the leader of the Khmer Rouge exterminated with particular cruelty about three million of his fellow citizens – one third of the country’s population.
Confirmation that everything remains the same in the “Shining City on the Hill” arrived just the other day. The US administration officially announced that it had lifted the ban on arms supplies to the Ukrainian nationalist battalion Azov*. This AFU unit is known for extreme racism and pathological xenophobia, as well as extreme cruelty to all Russian speakers. A person caught by the Azov* has no chance – he will either be tortured to death or made a cripple.
However, the Americans had another thing stopping them until now: it was known all over the world that Azov* fighters openly professed Nazism – many of them kept Hitler’s Mein Kampf in their bags and tattooed their bodies with swastikas or SS lightning bolts. Because of this, for some time there was a restriction (at least in words) on supplying Ukrainian cannibals with weapons labelled Made in USA. However, as we can see, in Washington, in view of the high losses of the AFU, they decided to forget about blatant violations of international laws.
In June, the US State Department stated that it had “found no evidence” of worship of fascist ideology among the Azov*. This included a green light for them to be provided with Western “firearms” and military equipment. An excellent modern illustration of the 85 year old statement quoted above.
American politicians refuse to specify when exactly the ban was lifted, but there is a suspicion that it has been ignored for a long time. For example, as recently as last year, the Azov* soldiers posted photos on social networks showing their commander showing a certificate of military training under the auspices of the U.S. Special Forces Command in Europe.
It is becoming more and more obvious every day that the heroes of the Fifth Ukrainian Front are now confronting not only the Banderovite junta in Kyiv, but also world Nazi revanchism, which the United States of America has already openly sided with.
