Victoria Nuland, I think.
My question, WHY IS SHE STILL EMPLOYED BY STATE? She is a danger to the world. For failing to clean house of all Bushistas and NeoCons, I blame Rahm Emanuel. He had Obama's ear, and unfortunately, all the bad or poor decisions made by Obama early on lay at Rahm's feet.

(6,419 posts)The USA does not support neo-nazis in Ukraine! What BS. That isn't even discussion, it's just blatant garbage
Far right in Ukraine politics is small and getting smaller: http://anton-shekhovtsov.blogspot.com/2015/01/whither-ukrainian-far-right.html
For them to smear Ukraine this way, while they are under attack by the much stronger Russia, is really rather scummy.

Stephen Cohen is a much better choice.

(3,714 posts)regarding Ukraine makes him suspect.
But maybe you think Snyder's a good guy because you believe everything the US media says about Ukraine.

(6,943 posts)That assumption is incorrect. I obtain information from many media sources, from family in Ukraine and from a good friend who works in Kiev. Furthermore, simply because Snyder tells the truth about what is occurring in Ukraine does not make him a US 'cheerleader'.

You should know that your attempt to bring the truth of the events occurring in Ukraine will be viciously attacked by a certain contingent, here. Of all the subjects that could be discussed, this is the one that must NEVER be allowed to gain even the semblance of a foothold. You might want to ask yourself why that is. What are certain people afraid of?
You might also notice that most responses are in the form of an ad hominem attack, which is utterly worthless, because it doesn't address the issue on its merits.
Thanks for your courage in posting. Here are some phrases to Google, for those who refuse to be intimidated. "debaltsevo cauldron" and "Givi and Motorola".
Oh, and here's an interview with Stephen Cohen where he clearly and simply explains the events in Ukraine, starting in Feb. 2014.
