Kyrylo Budanov, the military intelligence boss of Ukraine, told the war propaganda disseminator, ABC News, there will be additional strikes deep inside Russia, follow-ups to the December 26 attack on the Engels Air Force Base, more than 800 miles from the border. Budanov refused to say one way or another if Ukraine is responsible for the attacks. He added Ukraine will take responsibility for the attacks after it has won the war and reclaimed its “annexed” territory.

It is entirely possible Budanov will be captured and shipped to Russia to face a war crimes tribunal at some point in the future, that is if he does not become a mangled corpse buried under the charred rubble of a destroyed Ministry of Defense at number 6, Povitroflotskyi Ave, Kyiv.

Budanov has fooled himself into believing the Ukronazis are capable of taking back Crimea and the oblasts of Donetsk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Luhansk, Mykolaiv, and Zaporizhzhia.

And when asked about attacks on Crimea, which was illegally annexed by Russia in 2014, Budanov said, “Crimea is Ukrainian territory, we can use any weapon on our territory.”

Not mentioned is the fact the majority of ethnic Russians in these areas voted to leave the corrupt and poverty-stricken Ukronazi state after it made clear, most dramatically after the Maidan coup, it plans to ethnically cleanse all Russians and, according to the Ukrainian News website, herd them into concentration camps.

Maybe the Brits can help with this, as they pioneered deadly concentration camps during the Boer War in South Africa, resulting in the death of thousands (mostly women and children).

I don’t know if Ukronazi concentration camps are a real thing. However, it is no secret the post-coup government in Kyiv has held nothing but toxic enmity for ethnic Russians, the Russian language (which half the country speaks), Russian culture, and even the Russian Orthodox Church.

Soon after the USG coup in Kyiv, the handpicked prime minister—handpicked by Victoria Nuland and USG ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt—Arseniy Yatsenyuk, called for “wiping out” the “inhumans” (ethnic Russians) and “cleaning our land from the evil,” in other words, ethnic cleansing.

But don’t take my word for it. Read “White Book: On Violations of Human Rights and the Rule of Law in Ukraine.”

The document presents evidence of repeated and serious violations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (1950), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966), and the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (1995).

The Washington Post (major propaganda player, CIA’s Operation Mockingbird) insists Ukraine is a democracy, never mind, as the above document reveals, “democratic” Ukronazis have harassed, beaten, abducted, tortured, and killed journalists and activists opposed to the Ukronazi, USG-supported coup d’état removing an elected president, Viktor Yanukovych, in 2014.

Ukraine has many aspects of a democracy. The president, who is head of state and commander in chief, is chosen by a popular election. The legislature has a mix of single-seat and proportional representation. The prime minister is chosen through a legislative majority and is head of government. The Supreme Court is appointed by the president upon nomination by the Supreme Council of Justice.

How is it possible the violent overthrow of an elected government, the outlawing and persecution of political opposition, reducing Russian speakers to second-class citizenship, the banning of religious freedom, and numerous war crimes against civilians and POWs, can be considered a democracy?

Ukronazi apologists in the USG propaganda media, calling themselves professional journalists, argue Ukraine has imposed martial law in response to Russia’s SMO, and that has effectively put democracy on hold until the war is over and Ukraine is victorious.

Ukronazis engaged in this behavior years before the Russians decided, some argue rather belatedly, to go into Ukraine and disarm them. For the USG national security state’s propaganda media, historical fact is malignant disinformation spewed by Putin, the New Hitler, and if you believe anything coming out of Russia, you’re a Russian dupe, a national security threat to the USG, as Tucker Carlson apparently is for daring to speak the truth about Ukraine.

As I pointed out in “CIA’s Deadly ‘Strategy of Tension’ to Destroy Russia,” the USG is not interested in promoting democracy in a corrupt hellhole run by Ukronazi terrorists and oligarchs. That’s feel-good PR, an excuse to escalate the war.

The primary objective here is to “weaken” Russia, overthrow its government, and as the demented warmonger Lindsay Graham has demanded, assassinate Vladimir Putin.

The USG and its CIA have spent decades prepping Ukraine to be the frontline in the war to eliminate Russia and its elected leader. This is normal behavior for the USG and its psychopathic functionaries.

Kyrylo Budanov realizes Ukraine is not capable on its own of accomplishing attacks inside Russia, hundreds of miles from the border. He knows these raids are the work of the USG, its CIA (in-country for decades), Pentagon special forces, British intelligence, and private mercenary contractors of the sort responsible for so much death and misery in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Following the attack on Makiivka that killed an unknown number of Russian soldiers, we can expect Putin and his generals to speed up their planned winter offensive to finally delouse a smoldering rump state of its last neo-Nazis. The Russian people are demanding as much, in addition to punishing the military brass responsible for putting troops in harm’s way.

However, the war is far from over. The USG has prepared for a guerrilla war against the Russian “occupation” of Crimea and Donbas and plans for a government in exile. In this way, Zelenskyy, if he is still alive, can become the new Juan Guaido, the USG-declared president of Venezuela, never mind Venezuelans voted for somebody else.

Guaido was eventually thrown under the bus. This will be the fate of Zelenskyy or whoever declares himself the leader of a failed and destroyed Ukronazi state.
