The BBC reported in their article, \u201cUkraine crisis: Biden to meet Kiev leaders in show of support<\/a>,\u201d that:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

US Vice-President Joe Biden is to meet Ukraine\u2019s new leaders in a show of support for the pro-Western government.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Biden is due to discuss the forthcoming elections with the country\u2019s interim prime minister and president during his visit to Kiev.<\/span><\/p>\n

A phone conversation between the US secretary of state and Russia\u2019s foreign minister earlier led to both sides blaming the other over the crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Biden\u2019s visit is not the first time Western representatives have traveled to Kiev in direct support of the \u201cEuromaidan\u201d protests and the subsequent unelected regime that violently seized power. US Senator John McCain would\u00a0literally take the stage with the ultra-right, Neo-Nazi Svoboda Party leaders<\/a>\u00a0as well as meet with \u201cFatherland Party\u201d member and future \u201cprime minister,\u201d Arseniy Yatsenyuk<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In mid-April, CIA director\u00a0John Brennan was confirmed to have travelled to Kiev. Forbes in their article, \u201cWhy CIA Director Brennan Visited Kiev: In Ukraine The Covert War Has Begun<\/a>,\u201d reported that:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Over the weekend, CIA director John Brennan travelled to Kiev, nobody knows exactly why, but some speculate that he intends to open US intelligence resources to Ukrainian leaders about real-time Russian military maneuvers. The US has, thus far, refrained from sharing such knowledge because Moscow is believed to have penetrated much of Ukraine\u2019s communications systems \u2014 and Washington isn\u2019t about to hand over its surveillance secrets to the Russians.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Forbes would continue by suggesting arrangements were being made to prepare Ukraine for a possible proxy war with Russia \u2014 describing the shortcomings of Western backing during another proxy confrontation with Russia, the Georgia-Russia conflict in 2008 where Western equipped Georgian troops were humiliated after invading South Ossetia and incurring a counterattack by superior Russian forces. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>US Roadshow to Cover for Kiev\u2019s Nonexistent Legitimacy\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

First McCain\u2019s and now Biden\u2019s trip to Kiev is meant to lend the \u201cEuromaidan\u201d derived regime international recognition and \u2014 Washington hopes \u2014 the illusion of legitimacy. However, the \u201cEuromaidan\u201d protests were led by\u00a0a toxic mixture of Neo-Nazis, bigots, racists, and anti-Semites<\/a>, many of whom were armed and conducted a campaign of violence to overthrow the elected government of President Viktor Yanukovych.<\/span><\/p>\n

These included the Neo-Nazi Svoboda Party, the \u201cFatherland Party,\u201d and the admittedly armed Neo-Nazi \u201cRight Sector\u201d movement.\u00a0The BBC would even concede that armed Neo-Nazis spearheaded the violence<\/a>\u00a0that ultimately overthrew the Ukrainian government in a short video report titled, \u201cNeo-Nazi threat in new Ukraine<\/a>,\u201d which showed Neo-Nazis occupying the vandalized, ransacked offices of the ultra-right\u2019s political enemies.<\/p>\n

That the current regime has afforded top ministry positions to Neo-Nazi parties like Svoboda is particularly troubling. The Daily Caller in an article titled, \u201cUkraine party accused of anti-Semitism receives top positions in new government<\/a>,\u201d would admit:<\/p>\n

\n

As the fires die down from the turmoil in Kiev, a political party that has been accused of promoting anti-Semitism and xenophobia is set to reap the benefits of the new government arrangement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

The Svoboda Party will take control of not one,\u00a0but three ministries in the interim government.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

These posts include the deputy prime minister and the heads of the agriculture and environmental ministries. In addition to these positions,\u00a0a Svoboda lawmaker was appointed the new prosecutor general<\/a>\u00a0in the interim government.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If the nature of Svoboda is widely known,\u00a0having been reported on for years<\/a>\u00a0by both the Western media and Western human rights organizations, then surely the United States and the European Union are well aware of the true nature of the new regime in Kiev. McCain and Biden\u2019s rush to lend support for the regime is an attempt not to bolster leadership in Ukraine that represents the alleged values of the West, but to cover up the fact that the regime in Kiev represents the very antithesis of these values.<\/p>\n

And of course, the very fact that the regime came to power through a violent coup, and not \u201cdemocratic elections\u201d as the West has repeatedly claimed is the only way a legitimate government can come to power, further undermines both the legitimacy of the regime, and those that seek to now back it \u2014 particularly the United States government and the European Union.<\/p>\n
