In the U.S., he had made a connection with Ivanka Zajac, 62, a nurse who is the president of the New York branch of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, an organization that represents all Ukrainians in the U.S. and one that is lobbying Congress to pass a law authorizing the supply of weapons to Ukraine from the U.S... Zajac is in some ways the archetype of an Ukrainian nationalist ..."
In some ways? If you go to the official UCCA website, every group listed in member organizations were classified as Nazi organizations by the US government in QRPLUMB VOL1_0004 . Let's not forget the listings that openly celebrate the Ukrainian Nazi Waffen SS, Ukrainian Veterans of the 1 st Division or the Brotherhood of Veterans of Ukrainian Insurgent Army.
Because of her position she is naturally at the top of the food chain in the CEE organizing over 20 million election votes. But wait, how does America's home grown voter blocs compare with them? Its a natural question. They don't.
A natural outgrowth of the CEEC has been the Asian-American and Central American emigre blocs. From the 1950's through the 80's these countries rose and fell in election cycle importance through the Ukrainian nationalist World Anti-Communist League (WACL). For the American-Asian this culminated in 1972 when Richard Nixon was running for reelection.
Nixon was elected in 1968 with the 4 th largest margin in election history. In 1972 his greatest fear was Chiang Kai-shek, the president of Taiwan destroying his presidency and electability through the Asian-American emigres relationship to the CEE emigres. How could this happen? It was the CEE bloc vote to begin with that got him elected by that margin. The Asian-Americans by themselves were less than 1% of the vote.
The real cause for both the Korean and Vietnam Wars was the factor the CEE groups played in elections. The president's of the United States of America during this period were afraid of what these groups could muster on American soil with good reason. Today the same kind of nationalist views have become mainstream again so just look around you. To paraphrase one president and the actions of the others "I am afraid of a Nationalist/Nazi takeover of the US government that would make "McCarthyism look like chicken-sh*t."
Seriously? Could it be true Stepan Bandera and Chiang Kai-shek were Nazi comrades?The proof is in the pictures. The next generations, unfortunately, stayed by the same political tree.
When you combine the Black-Hispanic-Asian American voting blocs and subtract the pro-Contra (nationalist) factions and the pro-Taiwan (Chiang Kai-shek, South Korean, South Vietnamese) nationalistst hat are fringe outliers to the CEEC, the CEEC vote is closer to 20% of the total US vote, while the natural American blocs dwindle in voting power considerably.
This begs the question- Can a group without even enough of a population to count as a bloc be a bloc to reckon with today?
The answer came in 1980. They can if they become a cause celeb! The election of Ronald Reagan was due to pro-Contra CEE group funding. The entire Iran-Contra mess was initially put together by the CEE groups leader Yaroslav Stetsko, leader of the Ukrainian emigres. Stetsko's WACL had 2 member states fund Ronald Reagan's primary campaign and then they (CEE) funded and organized it with him all the way to victory.
It's the same for the Baltic states today. They are politically important because of the cause celeb. They are made out to be little David against Russia's Goliath.
There was a recommendation for NATO to engage as an alliance in ongoing wars -- specifically in Ukraine, Georgia , Libya, and Syria -- under the hypothesis that failure to engage weakens the effectiveness of the alliance's deterrence efforts. There was disagreement on whether NATO needs to publish Russia's specific violations.
The CEEC believes it is time to establish permanent NATO bases in the Alliance's eastern member states, since any objection has been removed by Russia's war on Ukraine...In the face of Russia's aggressive actions NATO ...In 2014, the Russian Federation forcibly annexed Crimea ...Russia's war on Ukraine and continued escalation of armed conflict threatens both Ukraina's independence and the welfare of tens of millions of Europeans. A strong, coordinated military force is essential to stop Russia as it continues to destabilize its neighbors and disrespect international rules. ..Russia's intimidation of the Baltic countries must cease.
Support the establishment of permanent NATO bases in these front-line countries to assure their security. Bases currently used by NATO for training and supply purposes in Central Europe should be made permanent and re-focused to territorial defense;
The Kremlin's propaganda campaign justifies its aggression by claiming that NATO has broken its promises to not pursue enlargement and is in the process of aggressively encircling Russia. This therefore poses a serious threat that Russia is justified in defending in the interest of its citizens...the panelists agreed that the West needs to push back in the face of Russia's disregard of national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
How did all this pan out for them? SCORE!
The war game, titled Anaconda-16, will take place in Poland ahead of next month's NATO summit in Warsaw, where officials are expected to approve permanent troops to be stationed in the country and throughout eastern Europe, to combat what they consistently refer to 'Russian aggression.'
