Within his deposition the ideology of Lt. Col Vindman is clear. Vindman’s mission focus is to shape U.S. policy toward Ukraine (and by extension NATO) regardless of the actual policy view of President Trump.  Within his deposition Vindman admitted to giving countermanding instructions to his Ukraine counterpart two weeks after his understanding of policy objectives that were exactly opposite of the [[commander in chief]].

During his deposition Lt Col Vindman also admitted that he was intentionally usurping the chain of command in an effort to follow his own ideological agenda.  Despite his admitted usurpation of President Trump policy, Vindman was sent back to his post in the NSC with the full support of the United States Department of Defense.

The onus of action to remove Vindman from the NSC does not just lay simply with the White House and [[National Security Advisor]] Robert O’Brien, but also purposefully with the Dept. of Defense.  The Pentagon could easily withdraw Vindman from his position at the National Security Coucil; the Pentagon and [[Joint Chiefs of Staff]] have done nothing to diminish the appearance of a [[coup]] and removal of President Trump.<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/11/16/a-seditious-conspiracy-lt-col-vindman-cia-whistleblower-source-1-shaped-false-summary-of-april-trump-zelensky-phone-call/#more-176244</ref>

Vindman grew up in Brighton Beach, [[Brooklyn]] NY. Its nickname, Little Odessa stems from the large Russians and Ukrainian enclave that grew big from the 1970s onward.

During the 1970s and 80s through the end of the Cold War was a dense anti-Communist population of which the leading edge was the Ukrainian nationalist [[Yaroslav Stetsko]].<ref>According to Ukrainian nationalist scholar Taraz Kuzio, in 1945, Yaroslav Stetsko was still asking [[Adolf Hitler]] for armies to continue the fight on the Eastern front against the [[Allied Powers of World War II]].  The OUNb reorganized itself within Ukraine as the Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists (CUN) and registered as a political party in January 1993.

This is a slice of the Russian emigration experience. The Russians kept the important cultural ties but assimilated politically into US [[democracy]]. Many did maintain a staunch anti-Communist stance throughout the [[Cold War]] which transformed into a strong anti-[[Putin]] stance during the years after the wall came down.

For the Ukrainians, almost 50 years of Cold War intrigue kept them bound inside the politics of extreme nationalism. For Soviet émigrés from Ukraine, Little Odessa’s Russian speaking Ukrainian community which developed in the 1970s would be the most comfortable place to live.  The anti-Communist tag meant they came from one side of the [[Bandera]] experience or the other. Ukrainian anti-Communism is synonymous with Ukrainian nationalism.<ref>https://thesaker.is/alexander-vindman-why-diaspora-ukrainians-are-driving-sedition/</ref>  Your grandparents either fought for the [[Soviet Army]] or they fought against them. This means they were a victim of Nazi aggression, or fought with the [[Nazi]]s.

New York is the headquarters of the Ukrainian Congressional Committee of America (UCCA). If you take part in public Ukrainian cultural life in New York, you rub shoulders with Bandera’s [[Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists|OUNb]].

During and after the Cold War, [[NGO]]s formed claiming representation in the U.S. Congress for entire Diasporas like the UCCA does for Ukrainian-Americans. Today is no different.  Many anti-Putin Russian nationals living in the United States find UCCA better organized for lobbying in [[Washington, D.C.]].
