Decades of intervention by the U.S. Department of state in the Affairs of Ukraine and the decisions taken by the White house on Ukrainian conflict, are a kind of "combat counter-diplomacy," writes analyst of the American magazine.

in his article, the journalist quotes the American historian and politician George Kennan, who thirty years ago in his own article " Morality and foreign diplomat described the goal of American policy as a desire to solve any geopolitical problems of American forces in the country. In addition, the historian said that the diplomacy of the United States relative to other countries can be called " demonstrative ": its meaning lies not in the achievement of mutually beneficial agreements between other countries, it aims "to bring the governments of other countries in confusion" and to foment opposition sentiment among peoples of other countries."

Unfortunately, statements Kennan had too little influence on American society, says the journalist, and now demonstrative diplomacy " of the United States can be traced, for example, in Ukraine.

"There is no better example of diplomacy intended to confuse and inflame opposition sentiment" than the intervention of the state Department and the U.S. Agency for international development in Ukrainian politics, " writes journalist, citing the message of the Deputy Secretary of state for Europe and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland at the beginning of winter 2013. Then she said the support of the Ukrainians, developing its democratic practices and institutions " and said about the allocation of more than 5 billion dollars to assist Ukraine in achieving these and other goals." Explaining the invitation of U.S. Secretary of state John Kerry on providing " 639 billion dollars to help our friends in Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova ", the analyst emphasizes the lack of diplomatic component in its decision. According to Webster's dictionary diplomacy is the art and practice of conducting negotiations between Nations " and " the skill of doing things, do not provoke hostility ", for this reason what Kerry asks the money, this is a counter-diplomacy, reported in the publication.
