Donald Trump just called Volodymyr Zelensky a dictator. Human rights lawyer Bob Amsterdam has worked in Ukraine for the past couple of years and confirms that if anything, that’s an understatement.
Amsterdam says the mainstream media, citing the Wall Street Journal specifically, routinely lies about conditions in the Ukraine. Not only is Zelensky portrayed as being far more benevolent than he actually is, but the press sugarcoats what life is like. Zelensky subjugates his citizens and rules with an iron glove. His rightwing fascists not only attack opponents, but also have waged outright warfare against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, seizing churches while jailing, torturing and beating priests.
Here, in a searing interview with Tucker Carlson, Amsterdam talks about how difficult it has been to get American politicians to intercede and support religious freedom, with one key exception: Vice President J.D. Vance. He also details how USAID has been used to destroy Christianity with fake churches and violence. This isn’t specifically a Democratic or Republican problem: Both Victoria Nuland and Mike Pompeo adopted a backward approach on Ukraine. The interview is eye-opening, to say the least.
