USA No. 1 in regime change

We've sure come a long way since first president George Washington warned Americans to stay out of foreign entanglements. The latest country to experience American sponsored regime change, whether outright criminal war (Afghanistan and Iraq), dropping bombs to help the insurgents (Libya), abandoning our favorite pro-Western thug when rebels gained momentum (Egypt), conspiring with Israel and Saudi Arabia to arm al-Qaeda tinged rebels, (Syria), is Ukraine. After months of machinations with pro-Western groups, including neo-Nazi ultra nationalists, Uncle Sam finally got his guy, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, declared new Ukrainian Prime Minister. We know he's our pro-West puppet choice because the secretly recorded phone call between Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and US Ambassador to Ukraine Jeffrey Pyatt, revealed our plan. Nuland coolly schooled Pyatt on the need to dump one opposition leader and popular former boxer Vitali Klitschko, because he lacked experience, and that "Yats (Yatsenyuk) is the guy who's got the economic experience, the governing experience" Nuland then snidely dismissed our partner in this mayhem, the European Economic Union, with the now infamous "F--- the EU" comment.  Nuland previously told Ukrainian businessmen the US had invested over $5 billion to help Ukraine achieve its "European aspirations" and take "Ukraine into the future that it deserves" Translation: dump Russia and follow the West.

So just as Afghanistan and Iraq and Libya and Egypt and Syria are either killing fields of civil war or newly established tyrant states, Ukraine is spiraling out of control due in part to mindless, senseless interference of the American war party and its European allies. Maybe we should tweak the famous aphorism that know-nothings tout when befuddled by the madness in front of them. Red, White and Blue: These colors don't run - except to change your government.
