Manafort’s Ukraine — The Wolf Funded by a Wolf

Here you have a political party that professes extreme Ukrainian nationalism, is anti-semitic, and is funded by Russia. Then, the Russia-funded ex-president of the United States’s campaign manager uses this Russia-funded anti-semitic party to neutralise opposition to the barbaric imprisonment of the former prime minister of Ukraine. This stuff is devilishly complicated.

A three-layer paradox: a “Ukrainian nationalist” party funded by Russia; an American campaign manager using that Russian creation against a pro-Western Ukrainian leader; the same campaign manager later imprisoned for crimes connected to his work for Russia’s Ukrainian proxies. Each layer contradicts the surface narrative. The complexity is the weapon, because it exhausts the capacity of observers to track the contradictions.
