Should Scotland’s Youth be Sacrificed on the Alter of the Ukraine Meat Grinder War by Armchairman Swinney and his Many Hokey Cokey Wokey Closet Unionist SNP Warmongering Nutters

Ukraine – a country of many nations cobbled together by Western politicians

At the start of WW1 in 1914 Ukraine was split between the Germans of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the West of the country, (Galichina) and Russians in the middle and East.

Following the February 1917 revolution Ukraine formed its own government and opened discussions with the Provisional Russian Government with the purpose of signing off an agreement setting out the terms of Ukrainian autonomy and extent of the territory of Ukraine. They failed to agree terms.

The Provisional Russian Goverment was then overthrown by the Bolsheviks who established a one-party dictatorship.

German speaking Ukrainians immediately announced the creation of Ukraine as a state and in early 1918 sent a delegation to Brest-Litovsk to participate in negotiations between Soviet Russia and Germany.

Germany insisted that Soviet Russia had to recognize the independence of the Ukrainian People’s Republic and withdraw its ocupying force from Ukraine.

The Russian response was to create a puppet Russian controlled regime in Kharkov.

In response Ukraine invited German troops to its territory. Their presence tipped the scales and the Ukrainian forces forced the Russians to remove their troops to Kharkov.

In November 1918 Germany lost the war on the Western Front and the Russians took advantage of Germany’s demise by expanding the puppet Ukraine Government in Kharkov to include all of Ukraine. Ukraine was subsequenty split up. Provinces being annexed to Romania and Czechoslovakia. A situation which prevailed unti the fall of the Soviet Union over 70 years later.

Ukranian War 2014- to date:

In the months leading up to 2014, fully supported financially and supplied with weaponry, militant and political leaders of the german speaking population of Ukraine forced the overthrow of the Russian leaning Government.

In the ensuing chaos a series of elections were held. The unsatisfactory outcome, for Russia being the introduction of a pro-western government with aspirations of joining NATO and the European Union.

President Putin was not happy about the turn of events but maintained political relationships and a dialogue with the West.

Then at the start of 2016 the “Obama Spoiler” was delivered. He imposed illegal sanctions on Russia using “Russiagate” as a pretext signalling the West’s push towards a greater NATO military presence to the east of Poland and the Baltic States. An indication of “NATO unity”. He further inflamed the already whitehot situation by anouncing further expansion of NATO into country’s formerly members of Soviet Union. This was a major blunder since the effect was to bring about a return of the “cold war”

And all did not go well in Ukraine. The German speaking pro-West Government set about righting long held greivances and imposed unacceptable policies on the Russian speaking population in Donbass and other provinces and their refusal to accept the unfair policies encourged NATO seeking Ukrainians to take violent means to achieve their aims. This they did systematically and with brutal intent attacking Russian speaking Ukranians in the provinces to the East and South East of Kiev.

President Putin intervened to protect the Ukranian Russians in 2022. Many thousands have died in the near 3 years the German Ukranians and their Russian speaking citizens have been at war and the Ukraine landscape to the East and South of Kiev can be likened to parts of France at the end of the 1914-1918 World War.

Noteworthy salient points:

250,000 german speaking Ukrainians fought for Germany against the Russians and Western Allies in France in 1914-1918.

A similar number of german speaking Ukrainians fought against the Russians and Western allies in 1939-45.

It is the protection of the descendants of the aforementioned german speaking Ukrainians that Swinney and his hokey cokey wokey closet Unionist SNP nutters wish to sacrifice the blood af Scotland’s youth. This time in the “meat grinder trench” war without end in Ukraine.
