As Russian Troops In The Ukraine Hit 16,000, US Department Of Defense Orders Them To Go Home
While it has gotten to the point where the propaganda is so bad on both sides of the Ukraine crisis, that any numbers thrown about are ridiculous, made up gibberish more fabricated than anything the Chinese Department of Truth or US Bureau of Labor can possibly goalseek, it is worth pointing out that according to AP, Ukraine's ambassador to the UN said 16,000 Russian troops are now deployed in the Ukraine. This was "revealed" at the third emergency Security Council session meeting in the last four days, shortly after Ukraine's fugitive president requested Russian soldiers in the strategic Crimea region "to establish legitimacy, peace, law and order," Russia's U.N. ambassador said Monday, contradicting the president's own comments last week.
However, while Russian hypocrisy is to be expected - after all they are the "Evil Empire" to quote a famous actor and president - it is the humor from the self-appointed moral watchdog of all the world's evils, the US, that was the highlight of today's UN session:
U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power dismissed Moscow's contention that it intervened militarily in Crimea to protect the human rights of Russian civilians there as "baseless," insisting there is no evidence of any threats against ethnic Russians in Ukraine.
"One might think that Moscow has just become the rapid response arm of the High Commissioner for Human Rights," she told the council. "Russian military action is not a human rights protection mission."
Speaking of high commissioners for human rights, at least Russia never invaded a country using made up WMDs as pretext, and did not almost launch World War III to satisfy a nat gas-rich ally over a fabricated YouTube clip. Oh, and all that "innocent civilian casualty" drone stuff too.
So what does the world's most irrelevant organization do? They send in monitors:
- OSCE MONITORS TO BE DEPLOYED TO CRIMEA TONIGHT, POWER SAYS
- POWER CALLS ON RUSSIA TO ENSURE OSCE NOT BLOCKED IN CRIMEA
- CHURKIN SAYS RUSSIA SUPPORTS UN OFFICIAL'S VISIT TO UKRAINE
- CHURKIN DECLINES TO COMMENT IF RUSSIA SUPPORTS OSCE MISSION
Well, monitors did miracles during the Yugoslav war, maybe they will "work" this time too.
But the piece de resistance, regardless if the real number of Russian troops in the Ukraine is 1,000 or 100,000, was the following:
- DOD CALLS ON RUSSIAN FORCES IN CRIMEA TO RETURN TO THEIR BASES
Wait, so the US Department of Defense, that of the United States if it was somehow unclear, suddenly has authority to control the troops... of Russia?
One wonders: did the US Department of Education tell Gazprom to maintain gas supplies to Germany no matter how many CIA agents are operating in Kiev?
Or did ACORN tell whoever is the current pre-countercoup Ukraine president to hike minimum wages?
Or maybe the Department of Justice is quietly trying to collect its Fedex guns sent "erroneously" to Ukraine mercenaries, having confused them with Mexican drug lords?
Whatever the confusion, we are confident that following this latest "escalation" in the US response narrative, that Russia will promptly CTRL-Z everything it has done in the Ukraine in the past two weeks, and say it was only kidding.
* * *
Tangentially, while it has been made abundantly clear just how terrified Russia is of NATO, of Europe and of the US, for an indication of what China thinks of the latter, the WSJ reports the following:
The departing U.S. ambassador to China, Gary Locke inspired mixed reactions during his two-and-a-half-year tenure. Though his unpretentious manner was widely praised, as the first American of Chinese descent to hold the job, criticism of him had a special bite... The state-run China News Service... published a derisive editorial late last week (in Chinese) that described Mr. Locke as “a banana, with yellow skin and a white heart.”
Because when America respects itself and its symbolic headpiece, the president, so very much how can the rest of the world not follow?

They have been trying to kill it since Pierre Sprey and the two other guys in the Air Force came up with it. The plane has had 9 lives. Why did the Air Force want to kill it? Because it was cheap and effective. Plus they though it was the Army or Marines job to do ground support.
Here is more on why the F-35 is crap.
http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/the-pentagons-new-trillion-dollar-jet-i...
Stealth was invented by a Russian. A text written by the Soviet/Russian physicist Pyotr Ufimtsev from 1962, titled Method of Edge Waves in the Physical Theory of Diffraction, Soviet Radio, Moscow, 1962.
The joke is that stealth is a fraud and can be seen by all long wave radars which the Russian have many very good versions. The F-35, F-22 and B-1 could be seen by the British 1942 radar at The Battle of Britain. So stealth is a scam. The DoD and Pentagon lied to you again.
you get a -1 for overlooking the contributions of Ben Rich
You did not read my other messages or watch the videos. Pierre Sprey says stealth is a scam. So Ben Rich is or was a scam artist. I have more respect for Rich's predecessor Kelly Johnson. Though they both worked for MIC and Lockheed Martin has created two terrible planes in the F-22 and F-35. They have really destroyed the US arsenal.
Don't watch no video, that's how he infects and slows your computer.
So abolish the DoD and Pentagon.
True that!
Visible to very short wave radar, too, though admittedly with a correspondingly short detection range unless you use a whole boatload of power and keep the pulse repetition frequency pretty low, which degrades angular definition.
Who said fuck the EU?....oh wait....
the tom clancy in me ask how many of the thousands of tanks russia has laying around are being draged off for refit.
I was wondering the same.
The Russians also have a well documented liking for using obsolete turrets - and more modern ones whose vehicles were otherwise not worth repair - to build static anti-tank gun and missile batteries around terrain chokepoints, too. Easy enough to kill, of course, since they're just a concrete box with an old turret on top, manned by kids and commanded by some pensioned-off old soldier. But they're cost effective if they each get a couple of enemy vehicles before they buy the farm - even if it's only C3, fuel and ammo trucks and the odd APC. Take out the supply vehicles and any command and control you can hit and the vastly tougher main battle tanks quickly degrade in effectiveness.
Could we have U.S. officials shut up, already? We get it. U.S. wants Russia to cut it out. More tough talk at this point is counterproductive.
The one good thing that comes from this is that the US news media can't gloss over how dreamy Obama is with his foreign policy on this matter in the Ukraine. Even these losers have to face up to the fact that Putin is making Obama look like an absolute weak fool.
Oh man, it must be painful to be American and watch Oblahblah's blah blah.
jesus its painful enough to not be an American and watch Oblahblah's blah blah
So lemme get this straight.
The DoD (which ultimately answers to a fascist, Obama) has called-on/ordered a former communists military forces (Putins, who is now a plundering fascist himself by any other meaning of the term) to return to their bases?
Can't we just let these two Marxists arm wrestle over possession of the Crimea?
I'm good with that, lets throw it over to Chris Matthews and get his take ;-)
I vote we have a no holds barred steel cage match to settle this whole affair, Obama V Putin.
I bet the take off the gate and Pay Per View rights would pay the interest on our national debt for at least a days.... maybe?
For at least a day or two...lol.
With the added benefit they'd both be in one spot, for selfies together, of course ;-)
Imagine the boost to GDP with all the "Likes" and "Retweets" the photo-op generates!
I'd pay to see that.
Obama makes a fool out of himself everytime he opens his pie hole(when reggie's dick isn't in it)
The Free Shit Army ain't in Ukraine. Of course, Peace Prize thinks Ukraine is one of the 57 states.
"The Free Shit Army ain't in Ukraine. Of course, Peace Prize thinks Ukraine is one of the 57 states."
And he thinks that he invented the Internet. Wait, wrong Peace Prize recipient.
Other frauds: Kissinger (1972), Menachem Begin (still listed as a War Criminal by the UN, 1978), Elie Weisel (consumate fraud and proven liar, 1986), Mikhail Gorbachev (1990), Yithzak Rabin & Shimon Peres (funny how easy it is to morph from being named a War Criminal by the UN to being a Nobel Peace Laureate. 1994).
Kinda pale next to Mother Theresa (1979), eh?
If you're going to hold Asia, don't stop with a pile of armies at Kamchatka.
You may as well take Alaska, too, to defend against a thrust from North America.
Putim better stay the hell out of Alaska cause AKAK is there and he is mad as hell and ain't going to take it anymore !!!
With all the Dick measuring taking place in the Ukraine, wouldn't it be an interesting turn of events if China decided to Dick measure the Taiwanese Islands.
Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner. And for the bonus round... Let's play N.Korea Nukes & Missles as China Proxy for $1000 Alex.
It is 5:00am local time Crimea...do you know where your troops are?
Kerry comes to Kiev Tuesday. That will really de-escalate tensions.
Hmm...maybe a mysterious crash in a cloud shrouded mountain range?
No survivors of course.
"Hmm...maybe a mysterious crash in a cloud shrouded mountain range? No survivors of course."
That only happens to Secs of Commerce. And first the international first responders have to report there were survivors, and then then have to retract that statement. Then the air traffic controller commits "suicide" in an "unrelated event". Then his girlfirend kills herself too. Then the pathologist at the AFB has to say, "Hey, that looks like a bullet hoel in his brain!"
Who gets to play the role of Maxine Waters very vocally complaining and insinuating foul play and demanding an investigation...only to suddenly stfu and NEVER mention it again? Maybe Debbie Wasserman-Schultz? I'd happily see her never mention ANYTHING again.
Kerry walks into a bar in Kiev and the bartender says:
Comrade - why the long face?
Most eye-popping thought was an article asking - Is Ukraine what we (the USA) are becoming? that some other country attacks us and takes over part of us, and we are hopelessly looking to see who in the world will come to save us - because we are basically done with - by the kenyan commie mooslim at a hawaaian luau!
Who would the aggressor be? Canada? Mexico? Other than those its a mother of a long supply line to the rear and a gun behind every blade of grass ahead. We're advantageously located with an ocean that would need to be crossed on either east or west. We might have our differences, but we'd put those aside long enough to deal with that. Speaking of which, are all those Russian troups still being trained here? If so, do you suppose Vlad will get them back?

Hey, if Lincoln could free the slaves of another 'country', then why not? Just say it and it's true Fiat! They're good at fiat. Shame Lincoln didn't think of that with re to the CSA soldiers; coulda saved half a million lives.
what a laugher. putin knows the west is bankrupt and afraid of popping their own paper asset bubbles. he is acquiring hard assets for his country.
Well, but the USA is insane. The USD will collapse no doubt and the USA as you can see RIGHT-NOW is GONE full COLD-WAR, ... and somebody has to respond, then the real shooting begins.
Let's see right now ..
1.) USA Destroy's UKRAINE, ...and Russia steps in to protect its citizens, which is PUTIN's duty, otherwise pro-EU mobs would be lyncing russians everywhere.
2.) USA CIA releases CHINESE-TALEBAN mass murder all over CHINA, ... how long will CHINA NOT retaliate,... Sure they just want to do biz, ... But UNCLE-SAM has gone full retard, how best to manage a spoiled rotten retarded child?
3.) Venezuela, Thailand, ... you name it all PTB trying to replace fairly elected democracy's with pro IMF carpet-baggers.
This new COLD war will go HOT and soon, everyone has their breaking point.
Arab Spring soon to be World Spring. Got to be careful of blowback when starting fires.

Obama Suspends GAY MIL Russian/USA ' Engagement Games'
Obama is so pissed at Russia he has cancelled the US-MIL-on-Russ-Mil Gay Games for all 2014.
Fuck Obama is pissed, so where is going to source his gay porn if he kills the USA-Russian Gay Games?
"Engagements, and so called MIL entanglement between same sex, but opposite team's, are hereby suspended by executive order" - Obama
US says it is suspending all military-to-military engagements with Russia Fox News - 36 minutes ago The Pentagon announced Monday that the U.S. was putting on hold "all military-to military engagements" with Russia, including exercises ( Circle Jerking, Fairy Rings, man-o-man-o ) and bilateral same-sex meetings, after Russia's military intervention in Ukraine.Maybe the DoD and Pentagon brass should go read The (fu**ing) Constitution and do their duty.
If I were an american soldier stationed on the 1,000's of USA bases world wide and they told me that I coudn't see my Russian boyfriend anymore or vice-a-verse I would be pissed.
Can you imagine how 1,000's of Russian soldiers will feel, when they find out that "son's of Obama" will not be coming to this months 'officers ball' for all man bath-house orgy's that TEAM Obama is so fond of.
*
WRT to the constitution the way you destroy all the worlds MIL, and especially the US-MIL is you drive good men away,... this entire deal of GAY party's and USA&RUSSIA engaging in sexual make-ups, drives good men out of the US-MIL, and leaving just a all GAY free-shit-MIL.
Constitution? Even Cheney said it was just like toilet paper.
You can just imagine the DoD top brass clustered round the table in the Situation Room, racking their brains.
"Wait a minute," says one. "I've got it! How about if we . . . "call on" the troops to return to their bases? That's gotta work, and it won't cost us a dime!"
"Brilliant!"
"That's the best damn plan I ever heard!"
"This could mean promotion for you!"
They will all be back across the border by lunchtime, every single one of them, I'm tellin' ya. You just watch.
We'll just tell them Freddy is there waiting to give them all blowjobs,I'm sure it will be a mad dash.Don't swallow too much Freddy or they will have to pump your stomach.I know thats true because I read it on the internet.
Delicious sarcasm here Tyler, thank you.
Samantha Power:
"One might think that Moscow has just become the rapid response arm of the High Commissioner for Human Rights," she told the council. "Russian military action is not a human rights protection mission."
Right, and "Team America" is on the job for human rights, is that it?
Too funny.
Samantha Power is married to CASS SUNSTEIN, the "Don Corleone" of AIPAC.
CASS SUNSTEIN met Obama at the Reverend Wright Bathhouse club in CHICAGO.
Samantha Power's is a beauty, and Irish to boot, but she is a trophy-wife for men that like to fuck other men in the ASS.

AIPAC is in big trouble.
How is that? AIPAC controls the USA, the US-MIL, AIPAC (CIA/MOSSAD) controls EUROPE,... They control the worlds OIL.
AIPAC by controlling the US-GOVERNMENT, controls the US-MIL, making the US-MIL a mercenary army that can be used for any purpose worldwide.
AIPAC controls the NSA (GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, TWITTER )
Where is the trouble bitch?
CLASSIFIED
Funny that SNOWDEN disclosures always exempt ISRAEL.
Only the FIRST one PRISM which was Israel HW&SW, ... ever since not a word about Israel and AIPAC control on the NSA(GOOGLE).
When will SNOWDEN ever de-classify the real story about WHO run's the NSA and america? I think not,
YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH
Ditto Assange. Mossad monkey with a dye job.
Why do Assange and Snowden both trust the jewish media to decide what is best for us?
The Israeli connection
"The publication of secret US embassy cables by WikiLeaks was greeted with great enthusiasm and expectation worldwide. But even as the Western papers continued to publish file after file, there was a lurking suspicion and hope in this region – will they reveal anything about the special US-Israeli relationship?"
"But WikiLeaks has disappointed its fans in this region. Julian Assange has already said that western papers have been reluctant to publish diplomatic cables containing information about Israel. 'There are 3,700 files related to Israel and the source of 2,700 files is Israel,' he said. 'The Guardian, El Pais and Le Monde have published only two percent of the files related to Israel due to the sensitive relations between Germany, France and Israel. Even the New York Times could not publish more due to the sensitivities related to the Jewish community in the US.'"
"Now read Assange’s statement along with those of some Israeli officials, who have gone on record saying the cable leaks have exonerated the Jewish state, and its foreign policy, claming that its dealings with Washington are free from blemish and there is nothing to hide."
Edward Snowden German Interview: Transcript
"Whether it’s provided I can’t speak to until it’s been reported because it would be classified and I prefer that journalists make the distinctions and the decisions about what is public interest and what should be published" (p. 4).
"I don’t want to pre-empt the editorial decisions of journalists but what I will say is there’s no question that the US is engaged in economic spying" (p. 4).
"However, as I’ve said before I prefer for journalists to make those decisions in advance, review the material themselves and decide whether or not the public value of this information outweighs the sort of reputational cost to the officials that ordered the surveillance" (p. 5).

I agree, never click on anything here especiall GOOGLE/YOUTUBE, that run's shockwave which is a trojan horse for the NSA.

One of the GREAT PLEASURE in perusing the COMMENTARY section at ZH posts is often some ZH members are so talented and quite amusing to come out with the really entertaining lines, F*ingly amusing ones that produce the actual laughs *** ALOL *** it's much much more amusing than the real joke stories!!!

Ooo Ooo I know..have the MSNBC bobbleheads go on the next 24 hour newscycle and ask "Is Putin A Racist For Not Obeying Dear Leader President Barack Obama"..Certainly that will get it done.
Here look Mini Maddow cheerleading squad CNN's Kohn is already starting the heavy lifting " GOP Cheering for Putin"
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnn’s-sally-kohn-gop-practically-cheering-for-putin-on-ukraine/
Anyone else catch the clown on some MSM network before saying "Putin must know by now this is having the adverse impact with the Russian stock market down 13%"..lol. Like he gives a flying fuck. All he needs to do is announce he selling all Russia's treasuries and hint China may as well and then announce he is considering a metals backed currency and our markets will implode in 3 days time and we will be BEGGING him to not only take all of the Ukraine but throwing Poland in as a sweetner. The U.K. already said they were not considering economic sanctions so Pres. and the puppeteers behind them are all on their own.
They are gonna be dusting off G.W. Bush soon to solve this. Look at how cozy they were when Putin visited him in Maine years back. At least he MILDLY respected Bush.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkznxGuINyk
He knows he is dealing with a child and his cohorts that only know how to scream the loudest and move the goalposts as the game changes.
obligatory "miss me yet" picture... but damned if you aren't right... Putin has no respect for someone who isn't a man's man, which is why he can't stand Obama...
Now we are going to see why having 17Trillion Debt Does matter !!!!!
It's a Fucking Security issue !!!!!!
It's not real money..... right...... right??

Normally under "no" circumstances would I ever say anything untoward about someone from Ireland myself being of part Irish descent -Until "now"
Send this filfthy red headed pasty white cunt back to the old sod with dirtiest cabbage to find "Mr. Bono". They're a perfect match.
The best part is I would never want to see Ireland re-patriated with either of them given where they've been!
One would think from listening to samantha power that she believes she has any shred of credibility left. Maybe the monitors can be the "glue" from the UN to get this done. Because, you know, fuck the EU.
Hahahahahahaha.
The Russians should just show the US deputy secretary handing out cookies to the opposition party in Kiev.
That a beautiful irish woman would marry into a group of sexual sado-masochistic bath-house rapists is telling.
I don't know her history, but this woman makes a red-light whore look like a virgin.
Samantha Power's, When she was a co-ed at law school, CASS SUNSTEIN fucked all them men and women, ... but somehow or for some reason, these two hooked up, and CASS SUNSTEIN had many wives before her.
That Cass Sunstein had been fucking Obama at the bath-house for 20 years earlier is well known, telling that OBAMA gave his lover CASS's wife the UN ambassador job.
Most important for all here is that CASS SUNSTEIN is the "DON CORLEONE" of AIPAC, CASS is one of the most powerful KING MAKERS in AMERICA.
So there you have it why Samantha Power's married CASS, for absolute POWER.
Samantha Power has a crush on Angela Merkel. In the end, she is hoping for one of those European kiss on the cheek photo ops with Angela.
The Sheeple will never learn. This is a setup. Putin and Obama are working together. Its the American people who getting screwed. This is a game to demoralize and diminish any and all patriotism in the US.
The Queen is not America!

THE DOD IS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY
Hulk SMASH!
But the piece de resistance, regardless if the real number of Russian troops in the Ukraine is 1,000 or 100,000, was the following:
DOD CALLS ON RUSSIAN FORCES IN CRIMEA TO RETURN TO THEIR BASES
America: Better Wake The Fuck Up!
Well at least we now know who's in charge of the Country.
Should have known that after watching this movie for 5 years now.
Harsh language is not a deterrent.
The squadrons of MX missiles we foolishy gave up used to be.
The Cold War never ended. We just pretended we won. Wonder what Putin's gonna do with all that gold Russia's been buying....
"The state-run China News Service... published a derisive editorial late last week (in Chinese) that described [Chinese descent] Mr. Locke as “a banana, with yellow skin and a white heart.”"
==========================
Dat be rayciss.
Maybe it got posted somewhere else, but the US (not NATO) opened a base in Romania recently to service Central Asia.
It is new main conduit between AfPak and EUCOM.
Constanta - now returning troops really don't have to go back home.
A ton of new US operations ramped up in October 2013 including a regional ABM site. Same time as Euromaidan. (Still lovin' that flag.)
Just coincidence. Really.
What's up Moldova?
Moldova. Now with skools.
The constant statements, demands, requests, threats, etc. from the US/West are starting to sound more and more like panic fire (just hoping something sticks) than anything else. I'm sure VP and Russia thought through this operation and various scenarios (whether it was in Ukraine/Crimea or other border countries) long ago and the potential impact/damage that might be created. No different than the US with its actions in Iraq and Afganistan as these types of campaigns take an enormous amount of resources, planning, and logistics to execute. To think Russia undertook this action without careful consideration and planning would be foolish (but this appears to be how the US views the events).
Remember, Europe has a lot more at stake with this situation than the US given its proximity and dependency on Russian energy. This is why the US can blast away without thinking about their statements and Europe most be much more careful. Today's response from the UK is an example of this as it relates to implementing economic sanctions.
Also and one final thought, could VP really just be engaged in nothing more than his own currency war. Let's show some aggression, watch our currency devalue, which in turn reduces the cost of energy to Europe, making them more dependent on our engery (at a cheaper price than the Middle East) and actually benefiting an economic recovery in Europe (with lower energy prices thus increasing purchasing power). I know this is a reach but with every other country in the world attempting to devalue their currency, why not Russia? Russian energy is on sale as based on purchases made with the Euro, I can now buy 10% more rubles and that much more oil, gas, etc. (assuming VP hasn't raised the price). The real war with Europe would be if Russia attacked the energy infrastructure/supply chain. Now that would get Europe's attention.
We never find out what leaders have in mind. What did First Lord of the Admiralty (W.S. Churchill) have in mind in late July 1914 when, without any orders, he authorized mobilisation of the English Fleet?
The fleets were fully manned with their proper complements, so one person started the road to war with the first of the many mobilisations in Europe.
Scenario planning, war games, shark tank, daisy, bull in the ring- both sides use these tools to train for and plan contingencies such as the Ukraine Incursion. Likely there are Act 2 moves now being staged, so while the first mover's advantage is obvious now, the next scene may be hidden or be a feint / distraction from another countermove. Remember who plays chess and who plays community organizer.
I am sure the Russians never planned for this scenario from the DOD. It just might work.
You gotta love this site. LOL.
Yes... ZH is histrionics to the max!
The Russians would be more afraid of my dog than Obumer
Time for US administration to Cri-me-a river!
lol
USA: Russia, please be nice and return to your bases.
Russia: All your base are belong to us.
Next up, Yellen says Russian troops should leave Crimea, and Putin responds saying the Fed should increase taper by another $20 billion per month.
that was good +1
Obama 'fired' the real generals who know how to fight and know our enemies - all he has left are DoD flunkies who actually think they can order Russian troops around...
No, he fired the commanders who would fight the real enemy.
Yep,
It's called "veteranstoday.com" go to there site and see what they have to say about their america,
but sadly if your read that site and your enlisted you lose your retirement :(
So long as the US-MIL is held by the BALLS with the AZC retirement carrot, they can lead the US-MIL around like man-twats on a leash.
Once the USD fails and those retirement packags become worthless the AZC is in a world of shit.
In 1963 President John F. Kennedy and his brother Bobby, the United States Attorney General, forced the AZC to register as a foreign agent.
Then AZC changed their name to A I P A C, and JFK was murdered, and then Bobby. Don't fuck with the tribe, and ever since nobody, nada a single US politician has ever used the Z- word in PUBLIC.
Obama ordered all generals to assume the position and take it in the ass a long time ago, the REAL MEN left a long time ago.
Those that stayed to take it in the ass, are the kind of men that like giving it to others.
This is why PETRAEUS is gone, ... he would not take it in the ass.
You really have to admire the braintrusts over there at the DOD. I feel safe.
Rumour Yanukovych is dead....wonder if its true? Another heart attack victum?
http://armstrongeconomics.com/2014/03/03/yanukovych-is-dead/
The latest rumor circulating in Ukraine is that Yanukovych is dead. Evromaydana activist Michael Swan reported death of ousted President Viktor Yanukovych of a heart attack, the newspaper writes LB.ua. In a message on Facebook Swan refers to another of the Cardiology Center of Rostov.
According to him, Yanukovych was brought into Cardiology at about 23:00 MSK on March 3 with a heart attack, he died an hour later.
Ukraine should be so fortunate for if true, Russia would lose its Czar for the throne of Ukraine.
I guess whatever he took didn't agree with him. I hope his sons don't catch what he had...
hahahhahahahaha...i had to laugh when i saw the headline....since when has the US had any influence or skin in the game when it comes to affairs on russian borders?
it is such a joke that the jingoistic rhetoric reminsicent of goebbles in nazi germany, coming from anyone in the state department reflects a US state department perception that it is anything more than a the turd under a russian boot when it comes to affairs that are close to russias heart
hahahhahaha...the expression "i fart in your gerneral direction, your mother was a strawberry and your father was a bottom wiper, you cannigit!!!!" spings to mind, albeit russia v amerirca tather than france v england...but the same parallel applies.
i mean seriously the US has 45 million on food stamps and a muder rate of X with a a drug dependency of Y and the US thinks it has a contribution to the affairs of the crimea ?
hahahhhahahhahaa...sorry my bad...oh look, theres a pink flying unicorn!
probably only important to natural gas users in europe that cant swqitch to dutch or norwegian gas...:) just saying
Violence doesn't end Violence, it extends it.
The Israel slash USA still doesn't get it.
100 years a 100 million dead and Reserve Currency status and greatest power since ROME, I think they GET IT very well

‘Hillary Clinton’s a monster.’By Sharon Eliza Nichols
That statement was made by Samantha Power, a top foreign policy adviser to Barack Obama and new-ish love interest of Professor Cass Sunstein. Sunstein recently accepted a position at Harvard Law, leaving behind in Chicago his ex, philosopher Martha Nussbaum. Bossman David Lat posted all the gossip about the academic love triangle here.
So understand the DYNAMICS here HILLARY and Samantha Power are fighting for the same PRIZE, HILLARY for CHELSEA, but Power for herself.
Satoshi may you rest in peace, you will never be an immortal bitch.
Um, wherez the link for this DOD order to the Ruskie troops?
--
U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power dismissed Moscow's contention that it intervened militarily in Crimea to protect the human rights of Russian civilians there as "baseless," insisting there is no evidence of any threats against ethnic Russians in Ukraine.
"One might think that Moscow has just become the rapid response arm of the High Commissioner for Human Rights," she told the council. "Russian military action is not a human rights protection mission."
-- What, only Empress Power has the power (!) to declare a "right to protect" military action? What's good for the goose, Ms. Power, she's only been the one advocating this kind of booshwah using US troops. The hypocrisy reaches new and unsustainable heights! Sell! Sell! Sell!
The US DoD has directly threatened the Ukrainian rebels:
If you are wounded in battle, you must apply for Obamacare through the US government website in order to receive treatment.
The Ukrainians claim that this is a gross violation of the Geneva Convention.
Ummmm, is it just me, or is Russia just doing what the US gubmint has done for the last 100 years? Who the fuck died and made US King's of the effing Universe? Kerry, and the entire Slut Dept. needs to zip the hypocrite lip NOW. What a bunch of arrogant shitheads we have running our country. Enough is enough.
The article penned by Wang Ping (ha, his name or pseudonym means King Peace) in the Zhongguo xinwen wang (CNS) is much worse in the original than just calling the departing Ambassador Locke a banana. It is a very nasty rant akin to, but exceeding the nonsense posted here by AnAnonymous of ZH lore. At the end of the rant he states that Locke brought the pollution to Beijing and after he leaves there will be blue skies. It is much in line with cultural aggression of America diatribes during the Maoist years.
Democracy Murdered By Protest: Ukraine Falls To Intrigue and Violence
By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
Global Research, February 24, 2014
Region: Europe, Russia and FSU
Theme: Police State & Civil Rights
"
Who’s in charge? Certainly not the bought-and-paid-for-moderates that Washington and the EU hoped to install as the new government of Ukraine. The agreement that the Washington and EU supported opposition concluded with President Yanukovich to end the crisis did not last an hour.
Even the former boxing champion, Vitaly Klitschko, who was riding high as an opposition leader until a few hours ago has been booed by the rioters and shoved aside. The newly appointed president by what is perhaps an irrelevant parliament, Oleksandr Turchynov, has no support base among those who overthrew the government. As the BBC reports, “like all of the mainstream opposition politicians, Mr. Turchynov is not entirely trusted or respected by the protesters in Kiev’s Independence Square.”
In western Ukraine the only organized and armed force is the ultra-nationalist Right Sector. From the way this group’s leaders speak, they assume that they are in charge.
One of the group’s leaders, Aleksandr Muzychko, has pledged to fight against “Jews and Russians until I die.” Asserting the Right Sector’s authority over the situation, Muzychko declared that now that the democratically elected government has been overthrown, “there will be order and discipline” or “Right Sector squads will shoot the bastards on the spot.”
The bastards are any protesters who dare to protest the Right Sector’s control.
Muzychko declared, “The next president of Ukraine will be from Right Sector.”
Another Right Sector leader, Dmitry Yarosh, declared: “the Right Sector will not lay down its arms.” He declared the deal made between the opposition and the President to be “unacceptable” and demanded the liquidation of President Yanukovich’s political party.
The Right Sector’s roots go back to the Ukrainians who fought for Adolf Hitler against the Soviet Union during World War 2. It was the Right Sector that introduced armed fighters and turned the tide of the protests in Kiev from peaceful protests in favor of joining the EU to violent attacks on police with the view of overthrowing the democratically elected government, which the Right Sector succeeded in doing.
The Right Sector did not overthrow the Ukraine government in order to deliver it into the hands of the Washington and EU paid “opposition.”
There is a tendency to discount the Right Sector as a small fringe group, but the Right Sector not only took control of the protests away from the Western supported moderates, as moderate leaders themselves admitted, but also the Right Sector has enough public support to destroy the national monument to the Red Army soldiers who died liberating Ukraine from Nazi Germany.
Unlike the US orchestrated toppling of the stature of Saddam Hussein, which was a PR event for the presstitutes in which Iraqis themselves were not involved, Ukrainian rightists’ destruction of the monument commemorating the Red Army’s liberation of the Ukraine had public support. If the Right Sector hates Russians for defeating the Nazis, the Right Sector also hates the US, France, and England for the same reason. The Right Sector is an unlikely political party to take Ukraine into the EU.
The Russian parts of Ukraine clearly understand that the Right Sector’s destruction of the monument commemorating the stand of the Red Army against the German troops is a threat against the Russian population of Ukraine. Provincial governments in eastern and southern Ukraine that formerly were part of Russia are organizing militias against the ultra-nationalist threat unleashed by Washington’s stupidity and incompetence and by the naive and gullible Kiev protesters.
Having interfered in Ukraine’s internal affairs and lost control, Washington is now issuing ultimatums to Russia not to interfere in Ukraine. Does the idiot Susan Rice, Obama’s neoconservative National Security Advisor, think Putin is going to pay any attention to her ultimatums or to any instruction from a government so militarily incompetent that it was unable to successfully occupy Baghdad after 8 years or to defeat a few thousand lightly armed Taliban after 12 years? In only took a few hours for Russian troops to destroy the American and Israeli trained and armed Georgian army that Washington sent to invade South Ossetia.
Where does Obama find morons like Susan Rice and Victoria Nuland? These two belong in a kindergarten for mentally handicapped children, not in the government of a superpower where their ignorance and arrogance can start World War 3.
Ukraine is far more important to Russia than it is to the US or EU. If the situation in Ukraine spirals out of control and right-wing extremists seize control, Russian intervention is certain. The arrogant and stupid Obama regime has carelessly and recklessly created a direct strategic threat to the existence of Russia.
According to the Moscow Times, this is what a senior Russian official has to say: “If Ukraine breaks apart, it will trigger a war.” Ukraine “will lose Crimera first,” because Russia “will go in just as we did in Georgia.” Another Russian official said: “ We will not allow Europe and the US to take Ukraine from us. The states of the former Soviet Union, we are one family. They think Russia is still as weak as in the early 1990s but we are not.”
The Ukrainian right-wing is in a stronger position than Washington’s paid Ukrainian puppets, essentially weak and irrelevant persons who sold out their country for Washington’s money. The Right Sector is organized. It is armed. It is indigenous. It is not dependent on money funneled in from Washington and EU financed NGOs. It has an ideology, and it is focused. The Right Sector doesn’t have to pay its protesters to take to the streets like Washington had to do.
Most importantly, well-meaning but stupid protesters–especially the Kiev students–and an Ukrainian parliament playing to the protesters destroyed Ukrainian democracy. The opposition controlled parliament removed an elected president from office without an election, an obvious illegal and undemocratic action. The opposition controlled parliament issued illegal arrest warrants for members of the president’s government. The opposition controlled parliament illegally released criminals from prison. As the opposition has created a regime of illegality in place of law and constitutional procedures, the field is wide open for the Right Sector. Expect everything the opposition did to Yanukovich to be done to them by the Right Sector. By their own illegal and unconstitutional actions, the opposition has set the precedent for their own demise.
Just as the February 1917 revolution against the Russian Tsar set the stage for the October 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, surprising the stupid “reformers,” the overthrow of the Ukrainian political order has set the stage for the Right Sector. We can only hope that the Right Sector blows its chance.
The American media is a useless news source. It serves as a Ministry for Government Lies. The corrupt propagandists are portraying the undemocratic removal of Yanukovich as a victory for freedom and democracy. When it begins to leak out that everything has gone wrong, the presstitutes will blame it all on Russia and Putin. The Western media is a plague upon humanity.
Americans have no idea that the neoconservative regime of the White House Fool is leading them into a Great Power Confrontation that could end in destruction of life on earth.
Ironic, isn’t it. America’s “first black president,” the person liberals thought would restore justice, morality, and reason to Western civilization, is instead now positioned as the person who will have to accept humiliating defeat or risk the destruction of life on earth." p.c.r.

That is beyond ridiculous. Some little flashpoint in Ukraine is not going to end the human race. The Ukranaians kicked out their pro-Russian leadership. There is now a power vacuum. Russia has moved into the Crimea because they have the chance to with the pretext of stabilizign a mainly Russian area of that country, but Russia can only hope to hold the Crimea, not even the whole of Ukraine.
I give the Ukranians who did this a lot of credit--they pulled it off during the Olympics and used that international even to great effect in shutting down Russia's ability to take a stand. Those people did more than anyone in any western nation ever dreamed of doing against the oligarchy. They literally kicked the bums out. The deserve our support. Unfortunately, like all revolutions, once the act is done, nobody knows what the resulting chaos might bring.
What is disheartening is that Ukranians can't catch a break--imagine being caught between Hitler and Stalin! How unimaginably bad could that have been? Neither side cared for human life at all. Neither side was a friend in any manner. Unbelievable. It is different this time in the sense that even though the west is corrupt, it is far less corrupt than the gangster nation of Russia. You think Putin is somehow against the global oligarchy or some Zionist world takeover? No way, he's just angling for his piece of the pie.
I will say, we should not have let this banking thing get this bad. The strain is starting to cause cracks, and the cracks are getting bigger. Something unexpected will probably snap, and that is where the risk to humanity comes from. But Ukraine? I doubt it. The US is in bad need of serious reform and we will get it one way or another.

Washington’s Arrogance, Hubris, and Evil Have Set the Stage for War
March 3, 2014
Paul Craig Roberts

.
"...The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on February 24 that Ukrainian Rabbi Moshe Reuven Azman advised “Kiev’s Jews to leave the city and even the country.” Edward Dolinsky, head of an umbrella organization of Ukrainian Jews, described the situation for Ukrainian Jews as “dire” and requested Israel’s help.
This is the situation that Washington created and defends, while accusing Russia of stifling Ukrainian democracy. An elected democracy is what Ukraine had before Washington overthrew it.
At this time there is no legitimate Ukrainian government.
Everyone needs to understand that Washington is lying about Ukraine just as Washington lied about Saddam Hussein and weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, just as Washington lied about Iranian nukes, just as Washington lied about Syrian president Assad using chemical weapons, just as Washington lied about Afghanistan, Libya, NSA spying, torture. What hasn’t Washington lied about?
Washington is comprised of three elements: Arrogance, Hubris, and Evil. There is nothing else there."
p.c.r.
Well let's take a step back and view the situation, yes the ZIO's they created they situation and riled the hornets nest, but the hornets can hardly bite or strike ISRAEL/USA ( ZIO-LAND ), so instead they target innocent left-wing Jews of Ukraine, and then the Nazi Zio's can say "LOOK AT THE HOLOCAUST", and advocate bombing the fuck out of UKRAINE.
Make no mistake that innocent Hebrews will be targeted but make no mistake the NEO-ZIO-CON's didn't plan all this working this way all along.
They are still backing it...two of their oligarchs apponted as regional heads.. .
supposed extreme hater nazis support this....? someone is being played...
..."The stupid Kerry, wallowing in his arrogance, hubris, and evil, has issued direct threats to Russia. The Russian foreign minister has dismissed Kerry’s threats as “unacceptable.” The stage is set for war.
Note the absurdity of the situation. Kiev has been taken over by ultra-nationalist neo-nazis. A band of ultra-nationalist thugs is the last thing the European Union wants or needs as a member state. The EU is centralizing power and suppressing the sovereignty of the member states. Note the alignment of the neoconservative Obama regime with anti-semitic neo-nazis. The neoconservative clique that has dominated the US government since the Clinton regime is heavily Jewish, many of whom are dual Israeli/US citizens. The Jewish neoconservatives, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and National Security Adviser Susan Rice, have lost control of their coup to neo-Nazis who preach “death to the Jews.”"..p.c.r.

from same pcr link above.
Ukrainians didn't kick out anybody..Nobody asked them...
A few very well financed and organized thugs took over.
Right. Blame it on the right wing. This is Canada blaming Bush!!!!
Alright Zerohedge, I have something to ask of you which you should be able to answer. I still have my 2006 RAZR3 phone because I am stubborn as hell. Mrs. M's phone is prety much trashed too. We are missing calls and there is no reason for that. (Thanks T-mobile) What is the best deal going on out there? I do want a contract.
Get a spyPhone from sprint. I go through Verizon and am on the family plan with the wife and Granma and grandpa. Not so bad. The more the merrier...and cheaper. If it were just the wife and I we would go with Sprint prolly. Verizon would be too expensive. ATt sucks and Tmobile is alright but their data plans blow. That's my .02
Thanks brother. I was leaning towards Verizon and am already with T-mobile. All I need is a simple phone. I do not need the other shit. Woman thinks she needs other shit for some reason. Hell, I ran that RAZR3 to death for eight years. That was a tough phone and it is still kind of going. Woman wants an Iphone. Whatever. Fine. She can have it.
Seriously though, I only a need a phone that works for phone calls.
Moto V9M (Verizon or Page Plus) Moto V9X for TMobile, ATT or other sim.
I use Moto V9X for Ukraine and Russia mainly, while concealed Lenovo A850 dual sim with both MTS and Megafon if need other than basic call.
These are widely considered best basic phone ever. Can fit a enhanced size battery also.
OK, thanks. That looks pretty similar to a RAZR3 and that might work for me. I never go to Russia or Ukraine but woman does. I do not go to bars, casinos, Russia or Ukraine so I do not need anything special. It's pretty hard to even get me to go into the other room.
Just a chime in. I hate Verizon because it’s a spy phone [you have to sometimes use it based on service location].
Been grandfathered in with T-Mobile with 5GB of unlimited calls, text and internet. I never use that amount. Once you got burnt with AT&T, you remain a devoted T- Mobile customer pioneer for the company forever.
You can buy a phone on-line to save money and unlock it. Or you can buy a new phone without subsiding the cost over time. We live in a big country. Wife has a Sprint account. I have T-Mobile and she tags several lines off that account.
If in Marco Island FL, you have to stand on your head and shake your feet to get reception. I also have a Verizon line. My buddy & I where just in NC on business. He lives in Austria. Both of my two services were out, and so was his. He just shook his head and said this is fucked up.
I love T-Mobile 4GLTE. It all depended on your location, hence multiple carrier services for me. Hope that helps.
Thank you.
i am with virgin mobile...basic plan paying less then 22 a month
have not had any problems with them and it is over 2 years now
yeah, i've got virgin mobile with 400 min/22bucks... kyocera phone is easy to dial.
LMAO at the distraction. Must be a good story. I make good money every year. I spend $20/qtr on a tracfon. I have a google voice account so if my tracfon is lost ($20) i can replace it and the GV number i give out i assign to the new Tracfon. If I am on vacation and need to have an emergency number for the baby-sitter. She has my one and only GV number and it's mapped -> Hotel in eastern Ukraine while im there.
I have several phones but I need a primary. I have tried writing twice about this Russia vs Ukraine shit but deleted it. I have a female fight club going on here. I have never seen my woman this worked up.
And deleted a third time. It's just so stupid. What the fuck is the matter with people?
Why get tied to a contract?
Motorola V9M with Page Plus from Kitty Wireless is best and cheap...not android. .
That is a Verizon Phone switched to Page Plus..Page Plus uses Verizons towers for a fraction of cost..same coverage.
Better coverage than TMobile, which is improving. AT&T is expensive.
Best top end gsm phone is the high end MOTO.....Far best gsm for the $ is Lenovo A820 or A850, both dual sim phones
Until you fuckers start paying us a fair price for our tar we'll keep sending the forty below.

This is the natural result of the narcissistic, Selfie, Social Media, culture of the USA.
They have such massively, and delusionally, high self-esteem, no boundaries and a totalitarian mindset that it actually did not occur to them that making such a request through official channels was a bad idea.
The USA is finished, it's just a matter of when to blow out the candles.
