The Jews are fleeing Ukraine. The war memorials are being torn down. The banners bearing the face of Stepan Bandera are being hung from the town halls.

Svoboda has been given the Office of Prosecutor-General. That is Svoboda, scourge of "the Muscovite-Jewish Mafia".

As far afield as Spain, neo-Nazis are demonstrating in support.

And which is receiving more coverage in the United States? Ukraine? Or Venezuela? The answer to that is the key to understanding which and what country America now is.
