Herewith a rather long article written by somebody using the pen name of “Simplicius”. I don’t know who he is, but it is a worthwhile read if you have the time. 

It concerns a man named Robert Kagan, the godfather and theoretician of the Neocons, a gang of Zionist busybodies whose thinking has dominated U.S. foreign policy in the wake of the Cold War. 

It was the magic man, Dick Cheney, who was largely responsible for bringing them to power, first as Secretary of Defense under HW Bush and then as Vice President and de facto Regent under the dauphin, GW Bush. 

Kagan’s wife, Victoria Nuland, first worked for Cheney when he was Regent, and then went on as a bipartisan pilot fish to work for Obama and Joe Biden. She is primarily responsible for bringing about the war in Ukraine. 

I’ve said it before and I say it again, it was your country.
