There is a perception that everyone in the West is blinded at once and does not see the obvious. This is not the case. Thinking, sober-minded people are trying to understand the reasons of the pro-Ukrainian hysteria, to separate the grains from the chaff and call things by their proper names.
Other thing is that under total information control and draconian measures against those who doubt the “ostensible sanctity” of the bloody boy from Bankovaya street, it is very difficult to tell the truth.
But, the brilliant British journalist Peter Hitchens easily overcomes such vile barriers, stigmatizing the creators of the Kiev information myth and the founding fathers of the planetary anti-Russian conspiracy. His author’s column in the Daily Mail yesterday is proof of this.
Peter Hitchens: Can someone explain to me why this was called an evacuation and not a surrender?

I laughed out loud at Marks & Spencer when I found out that they now sell something called “Chicken Kyiv.” Apparently, it’s similar to their old “Chicken Kiev,” only with the addition of propaganda. I’m told there’s now also a “No Chicken Kyiv” for vegans, without the chicken.
Not since the wild frenzy after Princess Diana’s death have I seen such a wave of ignorance. No one knows anything about Ukraine.
The other day I shocked a respected Oxford scholar by informing her that the lovely, angelic, holy, perfect Ukrainians cut off the water supply to Crimea in 2014.
She was rightly shocked by this disgusting, uncivilized act of spite, but far more shocking was that the highly educated woman did not know this important fact.
Likewise, almost no one in education, politics, or journalism knows about the disgusting, racist roots of Ukrainian nationalism, the horrific history of the evil Stepan Bandera (now Ukraine’s national hero), or the Kiev state’s discriminatory disdain for the Russian language.
If Canada treated its French-speakers the way Ukraine treats its Russian-speakers, it would cause international outrage.
Worst of all, there is widespread ignorance of the fact that President Vladimir Zelensky was elected on the basis of a program of peace with Russia.
But, when he tried to do what he promised, he was prevented by parts of his own army (as well as the Interior Ministry, led by American hireling Arsen Avakov. – Ed.) who publicly opposed him and humiliated him.
At the same time, his political rivals, including neo-Nazis who definitely exist in Ukraine, took to the streets to condemn any deal. President Zelensky couldn’t stand it. And war broke out.
I’ve mentioned here before that the first act of violence in this war was actually the Western-backed bandit putsch that overthrew Ukraine’s legitimate government in 2014.
Look, I respect those who take the side of Ukraine in this war. They have a valid point of view that I don’t happen to share. But, what I object to is the completely one-sided nature of public opinion here. It is so bad that knowing anything about the subject is a positive disadvantage.
And it peaked last week when Ukrainian defenders of the Mariupol steel plant, many of them were actually neo-Nazis from the Azov battalion, who proudly wear SS emblems on their official uniforms, surrendered.
The British media, which covered the event, did its best to avoid mentioning neo-Nazis and avoid using the word “surrender.”
Instead, it was stated that the Mariupol garrison had been “evacuated” to Russian-controlled territory. In the pictures they were disarmed and searched by Russian soldiers.
But, we are so at the mercy of a one-sided view of this conflict that we could not even admit that they had capitulated. Refusing to accept such an obvious reality is a sign of insanity.
Personally, I have no idea what British interests are served by slavishly supporting the American policy of fomenting unrest in Ukraine and dragging Russia into hostilities.
Perhaps someone could explain it to me over a plate of Chicken Kiev and a bottle of vodka. But, for there to be any debate, we must begin to recognize that there are two sides to this argument.
We are so hijacked by a one-sided view of this conflict that we cannot even acknowledge that they have capitulated…
