Pilger, based in the UK, took to Twitter to voice his view of the West’s condemnation of Russia’s special military operation aiming to defend the people of Donbass as well as “demilitarise and denazify” Ukraine.
The European and US leaderships have been called out on their “hypocrisy” by a veteran investigative journalist and filmmaker, John Pilger.
The Hypocrites on parade. Watch them on CNN, the BBC, read them wall-to-wall. Now imagine a strategic enclave of Britons, or French, or Germans, or Americans under violent siege – shelled and terrorised – for eight years. Would this be tolerated by the rulers of the world?

Pilger, who is known for his critical outlook on the UK, US, and Australian foreign policy, referred to the situation in the Eastern Ukraine, where the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics have been fighting for self-determination for the past eight years, suffering from a violent conflict with the Kiev regime.
The republics of Lugansk and Donetsk in the Donbass region (LPR and DPR) declared independence after the 2014 US-backed coup in Kiev that saw democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych overthrown.
The coup government subsequently passed anti-Russian language laws, affecting the largely Russian-speaking population of the two Donbass republics.
Donbass has since then been fighting against the Ukrainian government, defending their right to vote, as a majority of the region voted for Yanukovych in an election certified by the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). Kiev branded the regions as separatist, launching a civil war against their own people that has now lasted for eight years.
In reference to the situation, Pilger posed a question in his tweet:
“Would this be tolerated by the rulers of the world?”
The US heavily supported the 2014 coup in Ukraine, which eventually led to years of internal fighting in the Eastern European country.
The US’ current position on Russia’s special operation in Ukraine has been reflected in statements made by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who called off a meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov that was set to be held on Thursday.
“It does not make sense to go forward that meeting at this time”, Blinken said.
In a similarly critical estimation of Russia’s position on the defence of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson accused Vladimir Putin of choosing the “path of bloodshed and destruction by launching this unprovoked attack on Ukraine”.
Our mission is clear – diplomatically, politically, economically – and eventually, militarily – this hideous and barbaric venture of Vladimir Putin must end in failure. pic.twitter.com/nmFhpDrDEy

According to award-winning journalist Pilger, it is “absurd” for Johnson and Biden “to lecture us on the ethics of world affairs”.
“Biden is currently stealing Afghanistan’s cash reserves and condemning millions to starvation. The West could have brought peace to Ukraine, but chose not to”, he said.

In the eight years since the conflict began, as many as 14,000 people have been killed in the fighting.
Russian President Vladimir Putin recognised the independence of the DPR and LPR as violence in the region continues to escalate.
On Thursday, he announced the beginning of a special operation in Ukraine aimed at the demilitarisation and denazification of the country, which neighbours Russia.
The decision was prompted by the deteriorating situation on the line of contact between Kiev’s forces and the Donbass republics, with the Ukrainian Army intensifying the shelling of cities and positions of the DPR and LPR last week.
A monitoring mission of the OSCE spotted over 2,000 ceasefire violations, with the LPR saying that the organisation recorded Kiev violating humanitarian law.

East-West, NATO-NonNATO, etc: Let us liken it to a Mafia war between two opposing factions of the Mafia. They are both criminals and evil, trying to gain control of the entire city, while at the same time trying to appear benevolent to those they later plan to oppress and rob. See:

I think western media wasted the last of its credibility after its silly propaganda woke up a lot of people to its excesses these past two years. I think it has minimal persuasive power left after that Covid xxxxshow.
Cathy – wake up andsmell the coffee. Your analogy is totally incorrect. Consider the alternative of Britain starting ww2 by bombing
Berlin to force them into the war, a war by the way Hitler never wanted (ead his speeches). Does that make Germany evil by responding in kind to protect her people?.
Cathy on February 28, 2022 at 9:51 am : I too have been thinking this is the set up to launch Cyber Polygon.
Pandemic 2 Now Ready to Go
I do not want to be an alarmist, but the facts are the facts. After all, we are the real enemy – aren’t we?
Because there is nothing but lies and more lies coming from our governments and the BS-stream media, what we should expect to happen next is Pandemic #2 – a real one this time -after two years of practice with the Covid “live exercise”. The world stage is now set to knock off the unwanted. The Russian invasion of the Ukraine and the seizing of numerous US bioweapons labs is the perfect cover for another alleged “escape” or for a false-flag “terrorist attack” with some lethal pathogen. It could be the Marburg one which Gates has been “warning” us about over the past year.
