U.S. House Admits Nazi Role in Ukraine
The U.S. House of Representatives has admitted an ugly truth that
the U.S. mainstream media has tried to hide from the American people –
that the post-coup regime in Ukraine has relied heavily on Nazi storm
troopers to carry out its bloody war against ethnic Russians, reports
Robert Parry.

Last
February, when ethnic Russian rebels were closing in on the Ukrainian
port of Mariupol, the New York Times rhapsodically described the heroes
defending the city and indeed Western civilization – the courageous Azov
battalion facing down barbarians at the gate. What the Times didn’t
tell its readers was that these “heroes” were Nazis, some of them even
wearing Swastikas and SS symbols.
The long Times article
by Rick Lyman fit with the sorry performance of America’s “paper of
record” as it has descended into outright propaganda – hiding the dark
side of the post-coup regime in Kiev. But what makes Lyman’s sadly
typical story noteworthy today is that the Republican-controlled U.S.
House of Representatives has just voted unanimously to bar U.S.
assistance going to the Azov battalion because of its Nazi ties.
