What combination of words can I search to find information on the US funding fascist separatists in Crimea? I mean, it sounds exactly like something the US would do, I just don't want to sound crazy when i talk about it.
I don't think there are any real (pro-Ukraine) separatist groups in Crimea itself, Russia controls the borders and if you believe polling people in Crimea overwhelming supported joining Russia.
But the US has been supporting Ukraine and its militias in Donbass including neo-Nazis like Azov Battalion which almost certainly got direct US support and even more radical groups like Right Sector that gets support from the Ukranian government that the US funds. And there are a bunch of other extreme right wing groups, many of which like Azov or Right Sector have been fucking around since the 2014 overthrow, many of which have now been folded into the actual Ukranian military.
