EU Warns of Ukraine Catastrophe While Ignoring Their Role in Creating It
📰 THE STORY: Deutsche Welle reports that the European Union is warning of a 'humanitarian catastrophe' in Ukraine, emphasizing the severe impact of ongoing conflict on civilians and infrastructure, and calling for continued support. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: For decades, the United States and NATO have actively expanded eastward, breaking promises made to Russia in the
early 1990s. In 2014, the US effectively backed a coup in Kyiv, overthrowing a democratically elected, Russia-friendly president, Viktor Yanukovych, which directly escalated tensions and led to civil conflict in the Donbas region. This ignored history, including comments by figures like Rand Corporation's 2019 report on 'Overextending and Unbalancing Russia,' laid the groundwork for escalation.
Double Standard: The EU and Western media consistently condemn alleged Russian war crimes and humanitarian abuses, yet remain largely silent or downplay the 17-year blockade of Gaza, directly contributing to a humanitarian catastrophe impacting 2.3 million Palestinians, with 40,000+ confirmed dead since October 2023. Funds that could go to rebuilding Ukraine are diverted to arming Israel's
relentless assault, with the US alone sending $14.3 billion in additional aid to Israel in October 2023. Follow the Money: Since 2014, the US has funneled over $200 billion into Ukraine, not including billions more from the EU and UK. A significant portion of this goes directly into the pockets of defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, whose stock prices have soared. General
