Since the American-sponsored Maidan Coup in 2014, Ukraine was been the playground of criminals, neo-Nazis, paleo-Nazis, money launderers, sex traffickers, and political chess-players who want to depose Putin. Remarks Alistair Crooke,
"The Ukraine war has also been shaped as the projection of a new identitarian, diversity, and pro-trans ‘imagined community’ set in polar opposition to that of the Russian traditional values. This clash of values could not be better symbolised than by its two spokespersons: On the one hand, [the man posing as a woman] from Nevada, Sarah Ashton-Cirillo who was (until a day ago) Ukraine’s military spokesperson, and on the other, Maria Zakharova, the spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry."
“The decline of community in the modern world has as its inevitable religious consequence the creation of masses of helpless, bewildered individuals who are unable to find solace in Christianity regarded merely as creed.”

American diplomacy should continue to stand up for genuine democracy, freedom of expression, and unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history. America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote this revival of spirit, and the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed gives cause for great optimism. Our goal should be to help Europe correct its current trajectory.
