The end of the Cold war brought peace to Europe and armies began to demobilize. The American empire exploited this trust and ignored promises made to the Russians to expand NATO and absorb former Warsaw Pact nations and even former Soviet Republics. Efforts then focused on conquering the large former Soviet Republic of Ukraine. The Russians had found Ukraine unproductive, corrupt, and troublesome so granted it independence in 1991. The American empire plotted to absorb Ukraine into NATO and sent military units to Ukraine to bolster the Ukrainian army with plans for building American military bases. An American instigated coup in Ukraine led to bloody fighting and major economic disruptions. ______________________________________ “Did the U.S. Carry Out a Ukrainian Coup?“; The Real News; March 3, 2014; Related Tale: “The NATO Conquest of Eastern Europe”; Related Tale: “The 2003 Conquest of the Republic of Georgia”; http
