Russia Warns Kerry's "Threats Are Unacceptable" As Europe Weighs Sanctions
Russia has lashed out following comments from US Secretary of State John Kerry:
- *RUSSIA SAYS KERRY THREATS ARE `UNACCEPTABLE'
- *RUSSIA SAYS KERRY ISN'T ANALYSING SITUATION IN UKRAINE
- *KERRY IS USING COLD WAR SLOGANS, RUSSIA FOREIGN MINISTRY SAYS
In comments on the Russian foreign ministry website, Lavrov added:
- *RUSSIAN MEASURES IN UKRAINE ARE `REASONABLE,' `LEGAL': FOR.MIN.
- *U.S., ALLIES IGNORED VIOLENCE, RUSSOPHOBIA IN UKRAINE PROTESTS
- *G-8 HALT OF PREPARATIONS FOR SUMMIT IS UNCONSTRUCTIVE: RUSSIA
In addition, EU ministers debate freezing the assets of Ukrainians responsible for corruption and "targeted measures" against Russia if no change of course is undertaken.

- *EU Will Suspend Visa Negotiations with Russia – Draft Text
- *EU Debating Placing Arms Embargo on Russia If No Change of Course
- *EU Could Prepare Future “Targeted Measures” vs Russia If No Change in Course – Draft
Perhaps most notable though this morning was the following headline:
- *RUSSIA DEP FORMIN KARASIN SPOKE ON UKRAINE W/ CHINA COUNTERPART
- *RUSSIA: CHINA EXPRESSED UNDERSTANDING OF ITS UKRAINE ANALYSIS
- *RUSSIA, CHINA DISCUSSED UKRAINE'S INTERNAL POLITICAL CRISIS
In other words, China was well aware of the plan and appears comfortable taking sides.

Sounds like they are beating a dead(looking) horse.
Russia is calling the bluff of all these soft mealy-mouthed coward Euro-American politicians. It's about time someone called their bluff. Meanwhile I am sure the Europeans will "hold talks" about this.
Feel sorry that the most powerful country in the world has such spokespeople.
We are clearly at a mind-boggling stage in our collective descent! ;-)

How can you take a man seriously when he has had more cosmetic surgery than Joan Rivers?
how is it possible our leadership is this bad?
do they have no understanding of the fire they are playing wth?
do they not sense a bit of hypocrisy in their rhetoric?
Puppet Masters choosing idiot puppets.
Idiot people electing the chosen idiot puppets.
Putin says Kerry has a Horse Face, married a skank for her money,
and his Momma dresses him funny.
Maybe so, but mister chinaman says to Putin: "My, you hava sucha big penis! Look a the penis! Is so big!"
Meanwhile, mister chinaman is thinking how to move 1 billion of his cousins into southern Russia and reclaim it.
They bought their own hype. That's what happens when you have a pussified public that flag waves every incompetent action done by these politicians. They soon begin to believe the are the masters of the universe. So much so that they are getting taken to bitch school by a second rate former thug assassin.
You are so right.
These narcisisstic pussyboys and their girls who think they have dicks are idiots. They have never been held accountable for anything and all they have received is praise from the MSM
Never held accountable for:
1)Benghazi
2)IRS Scandal
3)Fast and Furious
4)No prosecutions of executives who played a big role in causing the financial crisis
5)No prosecutions for the fraud at Fannie Mae and failure of Fannie and Freddie
"Fannie Mae engaged in "extensive financial fraud" over six years by doctoring earnings so executives could collect hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses, federal officials said yesterday in a report that portrayed a company determined to play by its own rules."
And the Squid's tentacles were there too.
"The result was a company whose managers engaged in one questionable maneuver after another, including two transactions with investment banking firm Goldman Sachs Group Inc. that improperly pushed $107 million of Fannie Mae earnings into future years."

I told myself, the days I witness the holy crooks pay their retributions for all of their diabolic actions from D.C., London, Paris till Brussels, I will throw out a memorable personal party for each of them, and drink till I'm down... provided humanity justice ever exists in this mundane world!
+ X 1,000
they honestly believe that Putin is bluffing and that he will not use nuclear card
Putin hasn't ordered one shot fired. Why should he? The EU is broke, completely impotent, and they need the gas.
What this might do is give Germany a wake up call.
If he's had more cosmetic surgery than Joan Rivers he needs to get his money back.
Damned right, if there are so many falsified body parts, how can one ever put trust into his or her words???
In the case of Mr. Long Face, thing is getting worse by the party he represents, an Empire of Excessive Blood, Great Violences and Blatant Lies!!
Monty Python had it down 20 years ago.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P2jJdrz9bY
Hahaha. Monty Python always had a way to skewer the softies in their skits! Thanks for the video, made me laugh today.
"russophobia" - so they are using left wing w*nk speak back at them.
What's europe going to do? stop buying gas? ha, yeah right.
The basis of Russophobia, was about communism. Without communism, trying to inspire any sort of fear of the Russians is just ridiculous and pathetic rhetoric from desperate idiots.
During the cold war you could seriously argue, with plenty of evidence, that the Russians would come along with the KGB, the Party Commissars, the whole Soviet police state apparatus etc. What is the modern fear of the Russians based on? That they will come along and tax you at 12% flat?
Well Agent, you hit the nail. In many respects Russia has claimed the moral high ground that the pro homo, pro Sunni, anti Christian foriegn policy of the US has lost by default. Really, Putin has spent 14 or so years expelling the tentacles of the tribe from control of Russian industry and finance, the new Russia does understand who the true Bolshevik monsters were, and that they're still in firm control of the West.
That's the best I can do, FREE FRANCIS SAWYER!!!
EU is trying to Cypress Ukraine before they even suckered Ukraine into joining!
FUKN AMAZING!
Horse-face needs to be put out to pasture. Or whatever it is they do with old, lame horses.

US to Russia,
WE are the ones that do the invading not YOU so clear off
I love the "We have the moral high ground" spin from the US media. Nobody in the US public cares when you can BTFATH!
Info for consideration...
.
RUSSIAN INTERESTS abound in Eastern/Southern Ukraine of which Putin will act according to Russia’s 2010 Military Doctrine.
“If there is a direct threat to our national interests we will defend ourselves,” said the National Security Council upon issuance of the Doctrine.
Indeed, there IS a threat to Russia’s national interests in Ukraine. Nuland’s JewSA wants to weaken Russia’s regional and global influence via a three-pronged attack:
1) Bring Ukraine’s Eastern industries—economically tied to Russia—into IMF’s clutches; 2) Cancel Russia’s lease of its Black Sea Fleet in Crimea’s Sevastopol warm water port, cutting off Russia’s access to the Mediterranean; 3) Install a NATO base in its place.
First of all, Eastern Ukraine’s industries are inextricably linked to Russia’s Military Industrial Complex supporting their military bases.
Second, Yats The Yid’s deputy prime minister just called for the cancellation of Russia’s lease, known as the Kharkiv Agreements.
Putin will not allow this to happen. His warm water access to Iran, Syria, and Egypt depends on it. He’s acting fast, catching the JewSA with its pants down as he did in South Ossetia in 2008.

The us gov certainly does not Lack Jew in bowing to AIPAC.
Saw the link yest to that guy on the IMF riot to unfold.
How's he know Yatsenyuk is in fact jewish? Not what wiki says. Might he be mistaken? Seeing jooos everywhere? IIsn't it enough that he is a consummate bankster?
http://www.realjewnews.com/?p=908
The USSA lost the moral high ground when it nuked Japan.
Tokyo was not targeted because the Banksters wanted its industries intact (For example: SONY-Standard Oil of N.Y.), but hit the two largest Christian Centers at the time..
Since then, the USSA has NOT won a war, just battles...
Repost from earlier:
The same old US war script, some things never change.

Any chance of freezing Tony Bliars assets? Or how about all the other corrupt fuckers in the west
He was for the Russian before he was against them
To coin a phrase: "Fuck the EU."
Love it when Ms Nuland talks dirty...
Well, at least the Russian and the American people have some common ground, and that's always a good starting point.
We all agree, without reservation, that John Kerry is a useless bloviating tool.
and on a sideline, this just came in:
"The Ukrainian Air Force 204th tactical aviation brigade based near Sevastopol has pledged allegiance to the authorities of Crimea. It is manned by more than 800 troops and has almost 50 planes, although most of them are not operational." (rt.com)
.... this "although most of them are not operational" will be also true for the rest of the ukrainian military. so why do they keep provocating russia? who will fight their war for them?
Because the extremists in Kiev are calculating that the West in now committed towards completing the coup, and thus will instruct NATO to step in and help them.
I think they could end up severely disappointed though.
Russia has now made it very clear that it means business and Kerry and Merkel, despite all their bravado, are now becoming increasingly anxious and second-guessing themselves.
On top of that, China's implicit support of events in Crimea will no doubt have emboldened Russia.
+100 well said...
the skull and bones alumni perhaps??
oh wait......
Our boys,who else!
Nothing is going to happen, in a month Ukraine will be split east and west. This is just fear mongaring to take us away from other things.
This was planned long time ago.
Split Not easily accomplished because the middle of Ukraine, east and west of Dnieper River inhabited by those loyal both ways which means any split involves ethnic cleansing, population dislocation and violence .
Interfering in Ukraine by outside interests is a bad idea and will lead to revival of old territorial disputes, animosities and rivalries. Trying to sever Russian ties to Ukraine while they have tactical advantage is asking for War. Don't we have enough examples of spreading democracy in Middle East at a horrendous cost in life and treasure ? Obama would do well to get off the golf course and election circuit and instead reign in Neocons and special interest . Perhaps member nations within the EU will put pressure on US to ease off as they would be adversely impacted by War and have closer memories of WWII. Just hoping.
There is already a referendum vote in Crimea, scheduled for March 25th
EU Debating Placing Arms Embargo on Russia If No Change of Course
yes, that will teach them! my ass...
Watch Putin FUCK the EU all over and stomp all over the U.S Politicians. The BEAR is out of hybernation and indeed ready.
Russia just has to turn off the gas to Europe at any time. The EU will then shut the Fuck up about this. The US also should shut the hell up and mind its own business.
Dude...Russia's markets are getting killed here.
I do agree with comment below that the USA (and Great Britain I might add) are behaving in a VERY aggressive manner...but hey, acting pre-emptoraly in one sphere begets it in another.
I think the window for Putin to act is closing MUY RAPIDO here. The now "free people of Ukraine" are getting an enormous upwelling of support from what is a Europe that really hasn't had much to "root for" in many years.
Once you see a million people show up in "Maiden Square" then Putin will be getting a message that "he really doesn't fit in too well here."
Friends in China? Bwahahahahaha. That's not gonna help much here.
These "Russian seperatists" have needlessly inflamed a region with which they have quarrell. If these folks decide they want to have a quarrel with them..."look out."
US and Canada would get quite the export surge.
There would be an oil and gas demand (and resultant price) surge, but not export (supply) surge. The US lacks the GTL facilities for gas export, and doesn't have the refining capacity to produce an extra several million barrels per day for Europe... So the US consumer takes it up the ass to enrich big oil.
US strategery at it finest...
(sarc or no sarc, interesting question...)
I didn't say it would be enough. Something tells me people are going to get over the fracking phobia BS in Europe pretty quickly. European heavy industry will be bricking it .. so they will be off for a quick dinner and chat with the PM.
Wait until you or your neighbor's well becomes unpotable, or do you drink flouride?
I drink the flouride, love it, it makes me really aggressive and alert.
UR
Some excellent observation on your part. I would add to anyone claiming that "1 million showing" up in Kiev being enough and more importantly "speaks for the rest of the Country" better check their glasses and census numbers required in a Country that has more than 40 million people!
Great read on the CNN gear they hauled into Kiev right before the "fireworks started"
All you need to do is look at the true nature revealed of the PsyOps campaigns the U.S. and Israeli Governments used in Syria (the Saddam Hussein statue dismemberment), Libya, Egypt to know the numbers they claimed as "massive protests" were all staged lies and "faked".
would love kerry and mcinsane in the same patrol boat outside kiev, getting an russian RPG up their arse- warmongering traitors, puppets of NWO...but that was a dream, they seem to go on forever.
I would pay to see that.
Heck. Give me the missile launcher.
Russia to Kerry....: Why the long face?
lol ...that never gets old...
Russia wants the Black Sea access for LNG.
Europe needs NG.
European sanction? LMFAO!!!! Are you kidding Europe??? Russia shuts of NG, Europe goes dark.
Checkmate Europe. Bye bye stock markets. FUCK YOU YELLEN - print all you want bitch this time, you're fucked!!!!
Bwhahahaha. Get a clue. RUSSIA is issuing idle threats right now. "Crazy Ivan."
yes, all those Russian soldiers in Crimea are actually fucking hand puppets - explosions last night at a military base
ok brain damage, it's time to put the cap back on the glue bottle and stop sniffing
Kerry must feel like shit these days. He's getting ear pounded by Netendefeckinyahoo to bring on global armaggeddon and then being urinated on by Putin. Hate to be his dog.
*RUSSIA: CHINA EXPRESSED UNDERSTANDING OF ITS UKRAINE ANALYSIS
Dunzo
Kerry almost lied his way to a war with Syria just a few months ago - his hypocrisy is infinite:
The American media has blacked out an account by Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh demonstrating that President Barack Obama and the US government lied when they claimed to have proof that the Syrian government carried out a sarin gas attack last August on areas near Damascus held by US-backed “rebels.”
Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry, US ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power and other top officials declared categorically that the August 21 attack on Eastern Ghouta, which reportedly killed hundreds of people, had been carried out by the Syrian military. They, along with the leaders of Britain and France, sought to use the gas attack to stampede public opinion behind their plans to attack Syria, cripple the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, and install a puppet government.
http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2013/12/11/hers-d11.html
+100.
Coverage about the refusal of us intelligence to back up Obama's claims re the origin of the gas attacks were as buried in the MSM as the assassment by them that Iran is not building a nuke or the story about NSA giving the raw data from its spying on us all to Israel.
Cute.
Land of the free, indeed.
Land of the free from history.
Land of the free from integrity. - saving a double post....
Kerry will make sure the supply of ketchup is cutoff from Russia...
And no more Heinz57 either!!!!!!!!!
And the theft begins. Just like Cyprus.
This is against Russia...talk about "asset seizures."
If Putin is forced to withdraw you'll see an Anlgo-American military force heading towards Crimea "as the Russians withdraw."
You folks need to get your heads in the game here. This is not some "Russian done deal."
In fact this could be a "Russia is done" deal.
And the theft begins. Just like Cyprus
"Q"
Sure hope you don't have a second mortgage on that bet of yours!
"Stock futures tumble" is the quote of the morning. Is it not amazing, how futures can be down maybe 1% and the world is coming to an end. 1% guys. Come on, so what.
Russia has the moral highground now. The left wing ball washers in the US and EU are going to be hoisted by their own petards.
The USSA seized Gitmo in a forced Treaty of 1903 and pays $2000 pa in perpetuity and stops any Cuban miliary vessel entering the waters and has totally usurped Cuban sovereignty to the point of running a gulag on Cuban territory
Correct. Especially, once energy prices skyrocket (as they already are).
Russia and China are already doing their own thing;
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/china-russia-to-drop-dollar-in-bilatera...
Watch out China. The USSA is trying to box in Russia so it can isolate China as part of its global hegemon game. China and Russia will have to boost weapons systems and ability to strike major US cities. It is inevitable that the USSA is attempting to use war as a means of humbling opposition just as it has broken most West European nations.
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/china-russia-to-drop-dollar-in-bilatera...
Already taken into account. How's your Mandarin?
No bilateral talks as only one side is constitutionally legit, so no room to negotiate, only a rebel force occupying Kiev, so no govt, so no negotiations. If the Ukraine navy felt the same way that would help explain their rapid defection.
All this shit ... for what, exactly? I'm not a diplomat but I don't understand why it was ever such a brilliant idea that Ukraine would join or line up with the EU, a western Europe organization ... Ukraine is naturally linked close to Russia, not Germany and France. Egged on by you know who, the western governments have f*cked with what was normal over there and now they started a bunch of trouble. It didn't need to be this way. Leave it the f*ck alone!
You seem to be giving the Ukrainians orders.
Try it "over there" and see how it goes over.
This ain't the Cold War anymore and that is a HUGE frontier Russia must now defend.
The strategy is a good one...simply "take Ukraine"...but they are failing to execute. This will only serve to embolden the LEGITIMATE authorities of Ukraine who so far have done nothing untoward to the Russians.
"And that's just in the Ukraine." You have Romania, the Baltic States, Finland. I guarantee the "Lukushenko line" is ringing off the hook right now. That's GERMAN real estate.
In related news, the "Syrian Electronic Army" is reportedly about to "reinvent itself" as the "Russian Electronic Army" .....
Things are going so well for Russia right now it looks like they will not even have to split Ukraine up. Something that the Putin was very open to doing. The primary goal was the military ports, Now they get the breadbasket as well....
I see this stuff brings out the idiots.
I might as well join in.
Fuck off warmongers. Ukraine is not worth harming our economy over.
Fuck off USA haters. The people in the USA by and large dont give a crap about the rest of the world. We cant even find Ukraine on a map. It is our illegitimate government that is playing great power games. We would rather watch American Idol reruns.
"... The people in the USA by and large dont give a crap about the rest of the world. We cant even find Ukraine on a map. It is our illegitimate government that is playing great power games. We would rather watch American Idol reruns. ..."
Did it occur to you that that's what a USA hater would say? lol
Lol. I hope people will make a distinction between hating our government and hating the USA in general.
I think they can. ;-)

"More than 3,500 servicemen of the Russian Baltic Fleet are taking part in the tactical exercise of coast guard troops on a test-site in the Kaliningrad region on Russia's Baltic coast in the framework of a surprise inspection of combat readiness of troops and ammunition of the Western and Central Military District."
Time to attack Sweden too?!!!!!
Russia would never attack anyone! They never have! Ponjatna?
A rough translation of the Russian response so far:
You are an impotent moron and we know that. Fuck off.
You are a moron but then again we knew that
Quit whining. You fucked up big time.
You started it, we will finish it. Two can play the intervention game.
Hypocrisy has its limits.
We don't give two fucks about meaningless organizations and hollow words. BTW you are all bankrupt anyway.
EU butthurt whining sniped.
On to the important part:
China has a proposition for Russia.
China:We scratch your back, you scratch our back.
Russia: You got a deal.
China:You know in China we have a situation involving a certain island... And your handling of Ukraine has been most instructive....
Russia:You got a deal.

EU economies are weak and this could put them under. They are fools.
Folks, I think Obama is a clown, no doubt. Our theiving ways suck, no doubt, our culture has NO moral high ground to stand on.
I think we have assets in this game of RISK that can make it hard on Russia. It would make it hard on us too. If anyone who is not Obama who has two brain cells to rub together really got in the driver's seat and deployed our real assets (financial warfare, cyber warfare) Russia may have the fuel spigot, but we can still fuck them up pretty bad. Putin will not back down in a game of chicken. This can get weird. We better hope this is just a big show, but I am begining to think not.
I feel surprisingly relaxed about this so far MsC., the US-EU sanctions are going to escalate it though so Russia will do some sanctioning as well, and they either have a big meeting and decide on an agreed way forward to sort this out, or shit will then get real. In the mean time Kiev finances and banks kaput. Virtually all armed forces are abandoning Kiev at this point, so who will really fight?
I do have to laugh at the psychology underpinning it all. I call it "precipice fatigue" one gets tired of always being on the edge, so you eventually relax because there is nothing else to do the precipice is always there. If you watch the news close enough it is all crisis, all the time. It's those nukes that make me pause. And I feel guilty about being a member of the empire. What ever befalls us, we have brought it on ourselves. I can fool myself that there has been a moral slide, but it has always been this way, felt this way. I did not live through it, but the Cuban missile crisis had to have been a trip.
Wish we all could leave each other alone. There are the few with access to the resources, who want still more, that won't let that happen.
Thanks for your reply.
To your sentiments MsCreant
If the American people truly cared about their Liberty and future direction, G.W. and The "Dick" Cheney would either be wearing orange jumpsuits after the beginning of there second hijacked election and a new investigation into the "collapse of the towers", or would be swinging from the ends of ropes.
There would never have been a President Remus 1st Term or 2nd Term(.) Better still nobody outside of Chicago or Hawaii would know about him other than the fact he was a U.S. Senator.
As for now in Washington D.C.? Six inches of snow on the ground and everything is closed. Actually everything was announced closed 8 hours before the first flake hit the ground!
These are your taxpayer dollars at work FOR YOU!
In other words, we are getting what we deserve. It is not sustainable, yet it keeps going on and on.
The question becomes, will the empire fall hard, or linger and gradually decline into a long, ongoing, emergency? Vlad could make it fall hard, I think. Maybe push all our bankrupt asses over the edge paying for war, burning up what is left of the fossil fuels.
My city is shut down too!
Sorry have to side with the russians on this one. Amazing how poorly Obama's henchman have handled the country. Can't we get Susan Rice out their with a good lie or two!
Russian joke: At a Customs checkpoint in Poland a guy in line gets up to the kiosk and hands his passport to the official, who scrutinizes it closely.
"Name?" she asks
"Gennady Gostoyovich"
"Nationality?" she asks, looking closely at his face.
"Russian"
"Occupation?"
"No, just a quick visit."
I guess you could say that joke using Americans instead of Russians now. :)
Nah, there is a different one for us Americans: 'When God wants to punish Americans, he sends them tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes. When He wants to punish anyone else, he sends them Americans!'
How are the Americas on the International Space Station going to come down? Only way back is with Russian help.
How is billions of dollars of U.S. military equipment in Afghanistan going to come back? Only way out is through Russian railroads.
Our so called federal reserve can place any amount of money, anywhere, at any time.
I cannot speak to the abilities of the US army/NSA to fuck with folks on computers, but I imagine all sides test each other's weak spots daily. The war has been going on, it is not visible to you and me with the exceptions of the hacks that we hear about that take systems out from time to time.
Stuxnet ... digital A-bomb ... first used by ... if the US is in a cyber war, or ends up in one, it's because the US probably 'bombed' or sanctioned someone already. ;-)
"How is billions of dollars of U.S. military equipment in Afghanistan going to come back? Only way out is through Russian railroads."
they can simply leave the killing machines to Afghan people... take them as some consolation offset for all the destructions and death tolls inflicted there
"How is billions of dollars of U.S. military equipment in Afghanistan going to come back? Only way out is through Russian railroads."
Well, if Putin will be very angry, it may give the Taliban 1000 new Russian MANPADS and 3,000 new Russian RPG - Hashim.
In this case, all military equipment in Afghanistan, will be quickly disappear. And thus, eliminating the need take back any military equipment back from Afghanistan to the United States.
Russia blocks access to 13 web communities of Ukrainian nationalists
Russia’s communications watchdog has blocked access to 13 communities of Ukrainian nationalist organizations on VKotakte (InContact) social media website, ITAR-TASS reported. They “advocated the activities of Ukrainian nationalist groups and directly provoked the Russian people to stage acts of terrorism and participate in unauthorized mass rallies,” said the office of Prosecutor General, which ordered the blocking. On Monday, it has appealed to the Federal Service for Supervision of Legislature in mass media (Roskomnadzor), demanding also to block copies of Ukrainian nationalists’ statements possibly circulated on the internet.

Not to worry! Putin has the right to silence fascists(terrorists). Especially in a foreign country. Any americans here?

Europe to Putin .. "okay, forget I said anything"
Kerry, you fucking amateur.
Kerry with his Hollywood cosmetic surgery is a fake. A fake guy representing a country with a fake financial system propped up by printing fake money.
The EU says there is a need to investigate corruption.
There is absolutely no need for any body to worry about that because corruption is endemic in the Eurozone and as far as I know nobody has been inconvenienced one iota.
There is ample evidence of skullduggery in relation to the purchase of submarines and tanks by Greece from the Germans.
There are, however, two legal questions here.
Who received the bribes and more importanly to my mind, who paid them.
Welcome to Europe, where we know all about corruption, we thrive on it.

The first casualty of war is truth. And the first casualty of any skirmish on the world stage that involves Russia is critical thinking. - via SpikedNote to barry:
Of this policy, when pursued recklessly, Bismarck well understood the danger. "Prestige politics," as he called them, he hated. In February, 1888, he laid down in a well-known speech what he held to be the true principle. "Every Great power which seeks to exert pressure on the politics of other countries, and to direct affairs outside the sphere of interest which god has assigned to it, carries on politics of power, and not of interest; it works for prestige."

*U.S., ALLIES IGNORED VIOLENCE, RUSSOPHOBIA IN UKRAINE PROTESTS
_________________________________________
'Americans' did not ignore it. They looked for it.
The first 'american' revolution in Ukraine quickly confirmed that the grip of Russia over Ukraine was too deep to simply hope that an election process will rip Ukraine from Russia's clutches.
Pro russia candidates were elected (were they the woman who was jailed for money laundering or the fleeing guy)
And this could have kept for a long time.
Ukrainian people did not vote right and when this happens, 'americans' get people to pay for their votes.
So 'americans' stepped up their game and unleashed the nazi hordes on the power, fully knowing that these nazis would provide what is needed: hatred toward the russians.
First, an ethnical cleansing must be performed so that elections delivered the candidates wished by 'americans'. Now in the west of Ukraine, Russians are hunting down on the streets, beaten or threatened to death.
'Americans' have a long experience in ethnical cleansing so it suits.
'Americans' think long term. Their open alliance with Nazis is not a desesperate move but a well thought plan.
The ukrainian president, the one that suited the 'american' wishes, despite his position of power, was unable to find a spouse. 'Americans' provided him with one: a US American whose parents were born in Ukraine, who was known to be close to the nazi factions in Ukraine. She has a background of serving in the US administration in the humanitarian sector or something. It is quite the habit of 'americans' to name people with peculiar ideologies in position of humanitarian tasks.
.
The situation proceeded parallely to Palestinian elections.
Such is "democracy" as imposed US-style. Voters cast their votes as whished. If inconsequencies of results bring reliation punctually, just have to bear with it.
May be next time voters exhibit proness to vote the correct way aka 'american' way. Sweet air of freedom uniformously smells betterly through unbroken nose.
A J EW BANKER IN CHARGE OF THE EAST
The self-proclaimed government in Kiev has appointed two of Ukraine’s richest men to govern large industrial regions in the defiant east. One of the reasons for the Maidan protest was the influence the rich have on politics in the country.
The appointments of new governors of Donetsk and Dnepropetrovsk Regions are among 18 made on Sunday by Kiev, which is struggling to consolidate power after the coup which ousted President Yanukovich last month.
The newly-appointed Dnepropetrovsk governor is Igor Kolomoysky, Ukraine’s third-wealthiest man, with an estimated fortune of $2.4 billion. He co-owns the informal commercial group Privat, which includes Ukraine’s largest bank Privatbank, which Kolomoysky heads, as well as assets in the oil, ferroalloys and food industries, agriculture and transport.
A former ally of Yulia Tymoshenko, Kolomoysky reportedly had a falling out with her and refused to finance her election campaign in 2010, which the ex-prime minister subsequently lost to Yanukovich. Kolomoysky was reported to be a principal sponsor of the UDAR party, which is one of the three fueling the street campaign to oust Yanukovich. Kolomoysky has a DUAL Ukrainian-Israeli citizenship and controls his business empire from Switzerland.
The new governor of Donetsk Region is Sergey Taruta, who is estimated to worth around $2 billion, putting him among the top-10 wealthiest people in Ukraine. He heads ISD, one of the biggest mining and smelting companies in the world, and also own Donetsk-based Metallurg Football Club.
