But the case of Ukraine was unique. Ukrainian nationalists wanted out of the Russian orbit. But some the territories of Ukraine are inhabited by a significant majority of ethnic Russians, too, who wanted to maintain close ties to Russia. The official US State Department's position under President [[George Herbert Walker Bush]] at the time was that the Ukraine should remain a sovereign republic within the Russian Federation. Bush argued as much in a speech written by [[Condoleezza Rice]] to the Ukrainian parliament. But the Clinton's took over in early 1993, and caved in to Ukrainian [[nationalist]]s. In exchange for US recognition of a Ukraine independent of the Russian Federation, Ukraine would give up its nuclear stockpile from the Soviet era, and the US would guarantee Ukraine's security, should the Russians ever invade. The agreement reeked a lot like the assurances Great Britain and France gave Poland at the [[Treaty of Versailles]] in 1919 that bound them to war with [[Hitler]] in 1939 when Hitler invaded Poland.

Like the Treaty of Versailles, the [[American foreign policy#1994 Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances|1994 Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances]] negotiated by [[Bill Clinton]] lasted exactly 20 years. Unlike Great Britain and France who went to war with [[Nazi Germany]] when the agreement was violated, [[Barack Obama]] broke the pledge that Clinton had committed the United States to. US/Russian relations have deteriorated ever since. And converting NATO from a purely defensive alliance based on the idea of collective security to a military machine waging aggressive wars - as it had done in Libya - fulfilled many people's worst nightmare. No longer can negotiation and diplomacy be used to keep the peace, as the Obama administration had thrown American promises on the dunghill. Gaddafi ceased terrorism, gave up his WMD, and became an ally, all predicated on accepting American promises, only to be brutally murdered at the hands of Hillary Rodham Clinton and NATO. Ukraine had given up its Soviet-era nuclear stockpile based on assurances given by Bill Clinton, ignored by Barack Obama. Military force now is the only option remaining to remove nuclear weapons from the hands of Kim Jong-il.{{fact}}

Since the [[Battle of Stalingrad]] in 1942 it should be clear to anyone,<ref>https://youtu.be/RC4fE6sm4r8</ref> Russia will never allow an aggressive and hostile military force, such as NATO transformed itself into in the Obama era, to ally itself or encamp within the Ukraine.

The essence of the meme is that peremoga and zrada (victories and betrayals) can, as a result of social processes, receive the opposite meaning.

After 2014, the Ukrainian government and its controlled media began to constantly declare overreach, that is, victories of one nature or another. Over time, it came to the point that the Ukrainians themselves began to treat the "victories" rather ironically. The announced and promised peremogs, which were not destined to happen, could demoralize society. Therefore, so that the propaganda did not collapse, they began to use another word - "zrada" (betrayal, treason) to explain failed peremogs.{{fact}}

Simply stated, something the Ukrainian authorities declare is a peremoga. And if something doesn't work out, it's because of the evil betrayal.{{fact}}

With the beginning of the [[special military operation]] of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine, the words "peremoga" and "zrada" were heard more often. Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky, as well as press spokesman [[Oleksiy Arestovich]], spoke about overreach and evils (victory and betrayals) as often as possible. Daily they spoke about counteroffensives of the Ukrainian army, but somehow the counteroffensives never progressed because of betrayals.{{fact}}

What sharp movements in international politics have been made lately? Let me spell it out for the 17 US Intelligence Agencies so there is no confusion. These state sponsored, Russian language hackers in Eastern European time zones have shown with the Surkov hack they have the tools and experience to hack states that are looking out for it. They are also laughing at US intel efforts.
