The point, of course, is to develop a cadre of pro-Western [[neoliberal]] thought leaders who will ally themselves to the United States and its vision for Ukraine. Left unstated in all this is that the U.S. is deciding who exactly this new generation of leaders comprises. And for all the nods towards [[diversity]] and [[liberalism]], the U.S.’ record in Eastern Europe shows they are happy to support [[fascist]]s and other highly anti-democratic forces. Those who do not share Washington’s goals for Ukraine need not apply.
