The New York Times Sinks to a New Journalistic Low in its Reporting on Ukraine | Walter C Uhler
On 8 January 2015, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk
demonstrated once again that he is either a liar or an ignoramus
(inspired by Russophobia) when he told a German TV channel, “I will not
allow the Russians to march across Ukraine and Germany, as they did in
WWII.” Putting aside his ludicrous bravado – analogous to a crazed,
dying gnat promising to stop a bull elephant — only the untaught do not
know that it was Hitler’s Nazi Germany that invaded the Soviet Union on
June 22, 1941. Moreover, while most military historians specializing in
the history of the Eastern Front (including this writer) know that the
Red Army played by far the greatest role in saving Europe from prolonged
Nazi rule, only an ignoramus or liar like Mr. Yatsenyuk would say, “We
all very well remember the Soviet invasion of Ukraine and Germany, and
we have to avoid it.”
