A good article on the subject for anyone who doesn’t want to read messy typewriter documents with sometimes unfaithful OCR. Note that it was released in 2016.

I'm having a heavy brain fog day and I'm having trouble parsing this. I can accept I might just have to come back to this tomorrow but can you help me identify the smoking gun here?

One of the funded groups here that the US worked with and helped grow to fuck with the Soviets are OUN/B, the Bandera faction of holocaust participants, the entire strain of current Ukrainian ultranationalism descends from Bandera.

The US policy to oppose communists aroundthe world historically has always been "find the furthest right people and support them". You can point to country after country after country that has been fucked by this. Palestine, Afghanistan, Iran, most of south america, most of south east asia, countless mass murders carried out against communists by the far right then leads to that farright taking over. US didn't care whether these were nazis, or whether they were religious extremists in the case of afghanistan or iran. They only cared that they opposed communism and would be militant.
