American journalist: Ukraine is becoming a “whipping boy”
"Enough time has passed not only to learn the truth about what happened in Crimea on August 7th and 8th, but also to analyze the world's reaction to the incident. The West is silent, hoping the storm will pass, while the US claims there is 'no evidence.' Ultimately, Ukraine has failed to secure unconditional Western support for its actions, but instead has found itself playing the unfortunate role of whipping boy," said Jim Dean, editor of the American publication Veterans Today , in an article dedicated to the Crimean crisis.

Immediately after the report of sabotage, military experts, given the fragmentation and lack of control of various military formations in Ukraine, still doubted whether the Kiev authorities were involved in the attack. However, the FSB message dispelled all their doubts. Questions only arise about the motives of the operation, the perpetrators of which were low-paid cannon fodder. However, most likely, the main goal of the provocation was to stop the rapprochement between Russia and Europe. Moreover, it is very doubtful that the Ukrainian authorities, on their own initiative, without enlisting the support of one of the world players, would take this step. What happened fits well into the practice of swindlers of the United States military-industrial complex to destabilize states. But judging by how often European leaders have begun to meet with Russian leaders recently, this provocation was not a success for Ukraine,” sums up the American journalist.
