Oh dear Zelenskyy and West seems you don't speak for all Ukrainians

War is always an illusion because it never fits into the narratives of the warmongers.

This makes it very hard for soldiers because they will never know what they are fighting and dying for. They may believe one thing, or have been told one thing but its never the whole truth. Every soldier who has ever fought and died has always necessarily only known half the truth and so has always given their life for a lie.

Case in point here in the case of MH17. A Russian and a Ukrainian have been charged with bringing down the plane and killing 298 people.

Apart from the tragedy that yet another civil war has caused, there is the obvious question why a Ukrainian is firing Russian missiles against the Ukrainians.

According to the West we are sending weapons and support to the Ukrainians who are all fighting the Russians and Zelenskyy represents all Ukrainians in their fight against Russia.

Oh dear. It's not true. Plenty of Ukrainians have no affinity for either the West or Zelenskyy who assumed power as part of this sudden wave of pro-European sentiment that seems to have erupted from no where in 2014. The elections just 2 years earlier in 2012 did not indicate this.

Well broadly the discovery that the US is involved makes this look like yet another CIA plot. Had the Ukrainians decided it by themselves it would be more believable but with the CIA behind them the result is all very suspicious. Most famously there was the counter revolution in Iran in 1953 where the MI6 and CIA persuaded the people to reinstate the Western backed Shah and put Iran back under Western control. Its easy to do and the rise of Western backed leaders in Ukraine just fits the pattern of CIA coups around the world over the last 70 years.

But now we find out that not all Ukrainians have been fooled by the West. Plenty have been fooled by the East too. This is how civil wars really happen.

Which all raises the question why get involved. Its all lies which just underlies what a waste of time it is. I mean waste of time for those who want to do more with their lives than just chasing shadows.

But there are plenty happy to chase their tails and shadow box their reflections so I guess we let them get on with it.
