My honorouble friend, I charge you with
distorting facts. While most of your facts are acturally true, the following is distorted.

On March 5, 2014 a phone conversation between EU foreign policy chief Cathy Ashton and Estonia's foreign minister Urmas Paet was leaked. Here is the transcript of that conversation-
No, we dont who is behind. Both the transcript and further clarifications from Estonian government make it clear that it is just one of the theories that the snipers were brought in by protesters. They consider this scenario credible but not definite.

That is clearly not true. All the key positions in the revolutionary government are with Bat'kyvschina. Svoboda is the second, much smaller player there.

If you look at the definition:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Nazism, it is clear that, while Svoboda is a bunch of nasty thugs, they are hardly neo-nazis. They are followers of Stepan Bandera
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepan_Bandera, nasty, yet extremely complex character. He did have a period of collaboration with Nazis, indeed, but he later fought them in earnest, exactly as Uncle Stalin

There is no evidence of this, in particular, of any thought process in the US foreign policy on Ukraine. If they did think, they would just shut up and let Angela Merkel handle it, the only world leader with both balls and brains
to handle this situation.
