How Come No Western Media Outlet Told Us Putin Recognized Two People's Republics, Lugansk and Donetsk, On Feb 21?
Or what that signifies in terms of the Donbas War, begun in 2014, which Putin claims he is trying to end. Why can't we even mention a history here? It's downright surreal.
Above is a video from the only Western journalist I know of in Ukraine, namely Patrick Lancaster, who’s been there eight years, covering the Donbas War, formerly for AP and Reuters. I heard him on InfoWars these past weeks and went to his YouTube channel, to start watching his videos.
I’ve spent many hours getting slightly less ignorant about the last 8 years in Ukraine, the war we aren’t supposed to know about. Why did it not make news headlines when Logansk and Donetsk became independent just days ago?
Outtake from article in Al Mayadeen, Feb 21:
“Tensions are soaring between Russia and Ukraine over the Donbass region and Moscow's latest statements about intending to sign a decree recognizing the independence of the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) and the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR).
Russia sees that Ukraine is violating the Minsk agreements by not holding dialogue with the leaders of the two self-proclaimed republics and launching offensives against them. Moscow had several times urged Kyiv to comply with the accord it signed in 2014.
In light of the latest rounds of tensions that followed Russian President Vladimir Putin's declaration that Moscow intended to recognize the independence of the DPR and LPR, Vladimir Putin addressed Russia in a televised speech.”

”Since April 2014 Donetsk and its surrounding areas have been one of the major sites of fighting in the ongoing Donbas War, as pro-Russian separatist forces battle against Ukrainian military forces for control of the city and surrounding areas. Throughout the war, the city of Donetsk has been administered by the pro-Russian separatist forces as the center of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), with outlying territories of the Donetsk region divided between the two sides.[7] Donetsk International Airport became the epicenter of the war with almost a year-long battle leading to massive casualties among civilians and a total ruination of the northwestern neighborhoods of the city.
As of July 2021, the DPR has full control of the city, with Ukrainian and DPR forces still engaging in combat outside of the city.”
Wikipedia, Donetsk
Here’s a very long Wikipedia entry summing up the 8 year War in Donbass, which we all should read probably at least once, maybe twice, to get up to speed.
Here’s a 2019 article about the neo-Nazi Ukrainian Azov battalion.
And here’s a riotous article about what happened when Canadian officials met with Azov unit and apparently forgot that they are supposed to be anti-Nazi.
So much for all that.
I assume you know Chrystia Freeland’s grandfather was a lifelong unrepentant Nazi publisher?
Why are globalists always accusing other people of being Nazis? Like the truckers in Ottawa.
Now Putin says he is ridding Ukraine of Nazis and for once, at least, one looks them up and sure enough—Nazis.
George Eliason is an American living in Donbass and has been in the thick of it since the very beginning of the 2014 Ukraine coup.
He's the guy who identified Sergei Dybnyn of Right Sector at the Capitol on January 6th
"There is both direct and circumstantial evidence Ukrainian nationalists working with AntiFa were the violent parties that attacked Capitol police on January 6th. The circumstantial evidence raises big questions.
The direct evidence is Pravy Sektor’s Sergei Dybynyn at the front of the violent Capitol groups yelling “Faster! Faster!” in Russian. At first, the media started trying to paint Dybynyn as a Russian propagandist and provocateur. But, the fact Dybynyn received a medal from former Ukrainian president Petr Poroshenko for his work changed that story and big media dropped it. Because of his work for Poroshenko, he is wanted for supporting terrorism in the Donbass Lugansk People’s Republic."

They were running the 2014 Ukraine Coup playbook at the Capitol on January 6th.

p,s. The "trout in the milk" is a picture of Sergei posing for a Selfie with Jacob Chansley - the Buffalo shaman (paint by numbers provocateur). It's been completely scrubbed from the internet; but I saved a copy.
From 2014 on, Bob Parry (R.I.P.) wrote several pieces for Consortium News on the flagrant neo-Nazi element within the Kiev regime, hammering the New York Times for failing to report it. He was pretty much alone in covering it. (Of all the Western media, only the Telegraph went near it.) Brava, Celia, for spotlighting it today.
Since we're all now drowning, yet again, in war propaganda, this video from 2017 is all too timely: https://markcrispinmiller.substack.com/p/war-propaganda-works-by-making-you.
