โBush Admits U.S. Broke Promise on NATO Expansion; Says Ukraine Should โDestroy as Many Russian Troopsโ as Possible
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)
A prankster has duped former U.S. President George W. Bush into admitting the U.S. violated its promise to former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev not to expand NATO.
By Joe LAURIA
Believing that he was actually speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, former U.S. President George W. Bush has been duped by a prankster into admitting that NATO expansion eastward towards Russia had violated a U.S. promise not to do so. โListen, times change,โ Bush says in a video created by the Russian prankster duo known as Vovan and Lexus.
After โZelenskyโ calls Bush โa very, very wise person,โ the former U.S. president says he didnโt want Russia to become a member of NATO either, but rather, โI wanted them on the fringe of NATO. I wanted Ukraine in NATO.โ
Bush tells โZelenskyโ that โyour mission is to destroy as many Russian troops as you can.โ
He then condemns Russian President Vladimir Putin for essentially putting an end to Wall Street and Washingtonโs domination of Russia under President Boris Yeltsin. โI thought for a while that Russia would be more cooperative and then Putin changed dramatically,โ Bush tells the fake Zelensky.
NATOโs expansion eastward is one of the causes of the Ukraine war, especially after the West in December rejected Moscowโs treaty proposals for a new security arrangement in Europe. Russian pranksters (who have been banned from YouTube) put out a short video. Here is a longer clip:

โTearing Down Civilization: Pushkinopad
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)
Ukraineโs Pushkinopad is not a minor excess of a war-ravaged nation but a sign of a failed society.
By Katya SEDGWICK
In 2014, when the Maidan overthrow of the Ukrainian government in Kiev was complete, the veterans of the insurrection, most of them Pravy Sektor paramilitaries, traveled across Ukraine toppling Vladimir Lenin monuments. The movement, immediately christened Leninopad (literally, โLenin fallโ), was celebrated in the West.
At the time, Leninopad was hailed as the beginning of belated decommunization. But itโs possible that Ukrainian nationalists hate Lenin not so much because he was a communist as because he spoke Russian. Dismantling Lenin monuments should be more properly viewed as a part of the de-Russification, or, as some like to say, decolonization of Ukraine.
De-Russification started immediately after the breakup of the Soviet Union, with Ukrainian schools switching their language of instruction from Russian to Ukrainian. Then, after the Maidan, private companies in the country were legally required to adopt Ukrainian as the business language. In the last several weeks, nationalists have begun removing monuments to Russian poet and founder of modern Russian language and literature Alexander Pushkin, to cleanse the country of Russian presence.
Not much is said about this Pushkinopad in the West. Some Russian liberals justify this barbarism as an outpouring of righteous anger after the Bucha massacre, now under investigation by the Ukrainian authorities. However, the โcancellationโ of Pushkin is not an act of spontaneous rage, but a continuation of de-Russification. Literature cannot be reduced to the politics of ethnic hate.
An April 18 Twitter thread from researcher and journalist Kamil Galeev, former Galina Starovoitova Fellow at D.C.โs Wilson Center, illustrates a struggle over national identity in language playing out in the Pushkinopad. Galeevโs thread, which must have been germinating for months, if not years, focuses on nationalism, and is based on Galeevโs investigation of the linguistic processes that created national identity as laid out by Benedict Anderson in Imagined Communities.
Galeev faults Pushkin for having created, from spoken vernacular and French, the gold standard of Russian, which then became the language of the empire:
That explains [the] significance of Pushkin for the modern Russia. Since Russia incorporated what is now Ukraine and Belarus under Catherine II, Russian government always fought for homogenising all East Slavic territories after the Russian standard, politics, culture and language-wise Russia strived to impose the same language all over Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. And yet, the question was โ what should we impose as the standard? Pushkin is so prominent because he created this standard.
Galeev contrasts Pushkin to Taras Shevchenko, the Ukrainian national poet, or kobzar, meaning โthe bard,โ as he is...
