Chairman Of Joint Chiefs: US Ready For "Military Response" In Ukraine
With diplomacy having failed miserably to resolve the Russian annexation of Crimea, and soon East Ukraine (and with John Kerry in charge of it, was there ever any doubt), the US is moving to the heavy artillery. First, moments ago, the US DOE announced in a shocking announcement that it would proceed with the first draw down and sale of crude from the US strategic petroleum reserve, the first since June 2011, in what it said was a "test sale to check the operational capabilities of system infrastructure", but is really just a shot across the bow at Putin for whom high commodity prices are orders of magnitude more important than how the Russian stock market performs. And now, as Bloomberg just reported, the US has escalated even further, citing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, who "has claimed that in the case of an escalation of unrest in Crimea, the U.S. Army is ready to back up Ukraine and its allies in Europe with military actions."
So much for those peaceful hour long phone calls between Obama and Putin.
From Bloomberg:
According to the Web site of the Atlantic Council, Dempsey said that "he's been talking to his military counterparts in Russia, but he's also sending a clear message to Ukraine and members of NATO that the U.S. military will respond militarily if necessary."
"We're trying to tell [Russia] not to escalate this thing further into Eastern Ukraine, and allow the conditions to be set for some kind of resolution in Crimea. We do have treaty obligations with our NATO allies. And I have assured them that if that treaty obligation is triggered [in Europe], we would respond," Dempsey said.
According to the General, the incursion of Russian troops into the Crimea creates risks for all the countries of Europe and NATO allies.
"If Russia is allowed to do this, which is to say move into a sovereign country under the guise of protecting ethnic Russians in Ukraine, it exposes Eastern Europe to some significant risk, because there are ethnic enclaves all over Eastern Europe and the Balkans," Dempsey said.
And with that, the USDJPY ramp takes the pair to overnight highs, and futures are set to go green. BTFWWIIID!
More seriously, the real question is how Putin will react to this quantum escalation in verbal hostilities: wild guess here, but somehow we doubt he will pick up and leave.

We don't have any money to go to war. We'll just assume hundreds of billion of debt to put boots on the ground.
Not a fan of the Millitary Industrial Complex.
So, the CIA & Obama have decided to support the neo-nazis they put in place, which makes the CIA/Obama neo-nazis ?
Those aren't neo-nazis in charge over there, they're Jews.
Everyone needs to quit trying to apply logic to the argument of why we are doing this or why we shouldn't. We all know there is no logic being used here. It is all smoke and mirror politics and global elitist bs.
I just want to be sure that when the shooting starts, this prick and anyone dear to him is on the front lines. Hopefully he will take Bernankster, Yellen, and Greenspan with him as forward advisors. He needs to make a special-op squad out of all the federal reserve bank presidents around the country.
My hope is that Barry reistitutes the draft. I have 3 sons at the right ages. That way I can personally tell him and DC to kiss my ass. I will open the ball from this end if they try that crap again. They want a war, then they can go fight it. Me and mine will not, and none of the "for freedom, liberty, and Amurika" bs arguments are going to sway me. And if you want to translate that to cowardice, just bring your "brave" self to my place......just be sure you come ready. It is high time people wake up and realize that the list of things to fight and die over is very short, and NOTHING this government has is on my list. Ron Paul, baby! You may not like him, but he is right on this issue.
P.S. I reiterate that this is just grandstanding OR the elitist have decided it is time to use a major war as an economical reset and remove any independent resistance once and for all.
FUCK THIS SHIT! STFU and STF out of it. This is probably the end game to finally bring down the US. If Ukraine wants to become part of the EU, then let the militaries of the EU fight Russia.
A biting dog does not bark.
Wise quote but you do realize they still have to try and "SELL" this WWIII scenario to the Sheeple right? Similialry to what they did with the WMD situation in Iraq on national television.
No more unconstitutional wars.
No more wars, period!
Ratfuck lying scumbags
We are all Ukrainians now, headed rapidly for a world bread line set in motion by the same borderless oligarchs who’ve already given the Ukrainian supporters for joining the EU their reward: a 50% cut in their pensions. It is only a matter of time now before Americans will no longer be able to protect their assets from confiscation and ruination by this same bunch of international crooks who’ve been set loose upon the world by the U.S. Federal Reserve System.
Americans have nothing now to stop these international oligarchs in the U.S., and thus the world, except the knowledge of their methods and their guns. Americans are well advised to remember these words from Shelley’s Ozymandias:
‘Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
The Looting Of Ukraine Has Begun
By Paul Craig Roberts
07 March 2014.
According to a report in Kommersant-Ukraine, the finance ministry of Washington’s stooges in Kiev who are pretending to be a government has prepared an economic austerity plan that will cut Ukrainian pensions from $160 to $80 so that Western bankers who lent money to Ukraine can be repaid at the expense of Ukraine’s poor. http://www.kommersant.ua/doc/2424454 It is Greece all over again.
Before anything approaching stability and legitimacy has been obtained for the puppet government put in power by the Washington orchestrated coup against the legitimate, elected Ukraine government, the Western looters are already at work. Naive protesters who believed the propaganda that EU membership offered a better life are due to lose half of their pension by April. But this is only the beginning.
The corrupt Western media describes loans as “aid.” However, the 11 billion euros that the EU is offering Kiev is not aid. It is a loan. Moreover, it comes with many strings, including Kiev’s acceptance of an IMF austerity plan.
Remember now, gullible Ukrainians participated in the protests that were used to overthrow their elected government, because they believed the lies told to them by Washington-financed NGOs that once they joined the EU they would have streets paved with gold. Instead they are getting cuts in their pensions and an IMF austerity plan.
The austerity plan will cut social services, funds for education, layoff government workers, devalue the currency, thus raising the prices of imports which include Russian gas, thus electricity, and open Ukrainian assets to takeover by Western corporations.
Ukraine’s agriculture lands will pass into the hands of American agribusiness…
In the former Russian provinces of eastern Ukraine, Putin’s low-key approach to the strategic threat that Washington has brought to Russia has given Washington a chance to hold on to a major industrial complex that serves the Russian economy and military. The people themselves in eastern Ukraine are in the streets demanding separation from the unelected government that Washington’s coup has imposed in Kiev. Washington, realizing that its incompetence has lost Crimea, had its Kiev stooges appoint Ukrainian oligarchs, against whom the Maiden protests were partly directed, to governing positions in eastern Ukraine cities. These oligarchs have their own private militias in addition to the police and any Ukrainian military units that are still functioning. The leaders of the protesting Russians are being arrested and disappeared. Washington and its EU puppets, who proclaim their support for self-determination, are only for self-determination when it can be orchestrated in their favor. Therefore, Washington is busy at work suppressing self-determination in eastern Ukraine.
This is a dilemma for Putin. His low-key approach has allowed Washington to seize the initiative in eastern Ukraine. The oligarchs Taruta and Kolomoyskiy have been put in power in Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk, and are carrying out arrests of Russians and committing unspeakable crimes, but you will never hear of it from the US presstitutes. Washington’s strategy is to arrest and deep-six the leaders of the secessionists so that there no authorities to request Putin’s intervention.
If Putin has drones, he has the option of taking out Taruta and Kolomoyskiy. If Putin lets Washington retain the Russian provinces of eastern Ukraine, he will have demonstrated a weakness that Washington will exploit. Washington will exploit the weakness to the point that Washington forces Putin to war.
The war will be nuclear.
http://www.countercurrents.org/roberts070314.htm
+1. But before things escalate militarily, we need to remember Von Clausewitz’s gem: “War is Diplomacy by other Means”.
So are Currency Wars. And so is gold.
Thus, before going 'hot', Putin has the advantage of a direct and “nuclear” cold-war attack on the fiat-Dollar (and its endless QE that is back-stopping the Euro) with a “GAS FOR GOLD” program.
Powerful point. And all indications are that Putin is a Russian patriot which means he has multiple options as opposed to a banker patriot whose only loyalty is to the banking cartel. In the end, the battle is not for oil; it’s a battle of freedom versus the oligarchs: i.e., the people vs the banks.
Both RT and Tablet: A New Read on Jewish Life shed more light on the Ukrainian oligarch Kolomoysky, one of the newly-appointed from the Ukraine's oligarchy pool of businessmen who is now in power in Dnepropetrovsk as “governor.”
RT reports that Igor Kolomoysky is 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.”
According to a March 5, 2014 report from Tablet, “’monsieur` Ihor Kolomoyskyi—either the second or third richest man in Ukraine— is not unique, but he is a figure of colossal wealth and importance in Ukraine’s industrial behemoth of Dnepropetrovsk. Along with his friend and fellow oligarch Vadim Rabinovich, Kolomoyskyi also founded the successful Jewish News One TV station. He has also helped fund and recently inaugurated the Dnepropetrovsk Jewish cultural center, the biggest in the world. In a press conference that Kolomoyskyi held four days ago upon being appointed governor, he admitted that he had been put into place as part of a campaign of “expanding government outside of the purview of traditional politicians.” He also acknowledged that part of his job as the newly appointed governor of Dnepropetrovsk was to “tamp down separatism,” and spoke out against a century of Russian-driven partition of the land. Many Ukrainians assume that he had taken up the position mostly to protect his myriad business interests from being expropriated by the new regime.”
As to Sergey Taruta, the oligarch now in power as the new governor of Donetsk Region, RT reports “he is estimated to be 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.

Awesome POST And this is .
why we you will never see such posts anywhere else
"If Russia is allowed to do this, which is to say move into a sovereign country under the guise of protecting ethnic Russians in Ukraine ..." ???
Is he saying Crimea is a soverign country? Is he talking about Crimea?
No. What he is saying is:
" The USA can do whatever it wants, regardless of what the rest of the world thinks, but Russia needs permission from the USA before it responds to USA subversion on Russia's borders."
Thank you for clearing up my confusion! Now I can freak out with confidence.
In the words of Paul Craig Roberts:
"The White House Fool has demonstrated the impotence of the “US sole superpower” by issuing sanctions against unknown persons, whoever they are, responsible for returning Crimea to Russia, where it existed for about 200 years before, according to Solzhenitsyn, a drunk Khrushchev of Ukrainian ethnicity moved southern and eastern Russian provinces into Ukraine. Having observed the events in western Ukraine, those Russian provinces want to go back home where they belong, just as South Ossetia wanted nothing to do with Georgia.
Washington’s stooges in Kiev can do nothing about Crimea except bluster. Under the Russian-Ukraine agreement, Russia is permitted 25,000 troops in Crimea. The US/EU media’s deploring of a “Russian invasion of 16,000 troops” is either total ignorance or complicity in Washington’s lies. Obviously, the US/EU media is corrupt. Only a fool would rely on their reports. Any media that would believe anything Washington says after George W. Bush and Dick Cheney sent Secretary of State Colin Powell to the UN to peddle the regime’s lies about “Iraqi weapons of mass destruction,” which the weapons inspectors had told the White House did not exist, is clearly a collection of bought-and-paid for whores.
Notice how the senile Dempsey (who by the way is as dumb as pig shit) dumber in fact than John McCain if indeed that is possible as he uses idle threat and the words "treaty obligations with our NATO allies" in the same sentence, but fails to mention the violations to the accords and international treaty arrangements the U.S. made long ago over the Ukraine with Russia more than two decades ago.
This doesn't even get into the egregious international treaty violations the U.S. has been involved in with everybody outside of NATO within the last 12 years alone on Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria.
Just ask Hamid Karzai what he thinks of President Remus telling him that the U.S. doesn't need for the Leadership in his Country to authorize an agreement for the U.S. military to stay as an occupying force in Afghanistan for however long it decides?!!!
Unbelievable...this is beyond buffoonery.
here's a link putin's presser the other day - translated, not sure what the fuck the US is going to go against.

Here's another link to some 'clear thinking' on the issue:
http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-fascist-danger-in-ukraine-resurgence-of-neo-nazism-denied-by-western-media/5372109
The Ukrainian gov't is not run by "fascists," but by jews. Don't fall for the hype.
They ran the place as Communists now they are back as State Dept sponsored
Michael Myers, in the RT comment section, writes in response to the comment that “Yatseniuk didn't appoint oligarchs to Kiev because he is an oligarch himself. And he wants to be a multi-oligarch”:
“Yatseniuk is a Jew. It's a Zionist coup.
"Why? Money + more money: Russia is not complicit in the Zionist NWO and has no ZOG. Therefore it is encircled and as soon as possible [will be] taken over again.”
http://rt.com/news/ukraine-oligarch-rule-governors-512/
The core from which this worldwide money power emanates is the "Fed."
Aren't zionists and nazi's the same, I am confused?
The former dress better, generally.
Not to worry, the bosses of the US MSM have sent Envoys to Ukraine to sort this out, and have been satisfied. Everything is 'Kosher' now. ;-)

Crimea River!
This is just Marty rope-a-doping the "neocons". This is a very intelligent man who knows EXACTLY who the Real Terrorists are. He's just practicing a bit of Yid Management here. He's very clever at it.
Post-event posturing is a sign of weakness. Putin just woke up and discoved the Pentagon? More likely answer is that the military is concerned that the Queen projects weakness to the other side. If you have to say the obvious, we're nervous about something.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDDkCiUhHCc
I had a relative in war. After serving he said the only ones benefiting from this are the ultra rich. They make sure their kids never see any conflict.
If they want this,send them.
You cnut.. there is no unrest in Crimea at all.
Go war monger Somewhere else.
This is completely insane.
Is this really a kind of thing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is allowed to say to a private organization? (What's the Atlantic Council?)
Or is this just another misinformation to escalte the situation?
This is PRC style where you have Generals making saber rattling comments outside of normal channels. The fact that General said US troops are ready doesn't mean much--they're supposed to be ready. Whether or not they get committed to action is not the general's decision.
Donations to savethepetrodollar.com may be sent directly to the Pentagon.
Another major ploy that has to be considered here is that the bad guys need to cause this and be able to blame someone else. That is huge. Then they can have even greater control after the smoke clears.
Now I ask you, who is trying to appear as the "good guys" while continually stiring shit up. I have a feeling that the banking elitist want the Russians to fire first and if they can't get them to, the bankers will sneek around to the other side and do it themselves (false flag).
Putin has been a cool customer here. The West has done all the threatening and name calling while mobilizing military apparatus. Putin has simply secured his naval base in Crimea. If Putin wanted Ukraine by military force, the Russians could have already rolled into Kiev days ago.
They hate us for our freedumbs. If you think otherwise it is recorded and eventually you will end up in the gulags on terrrrr/peeeedophil charges.
Stab me in the eye with a rusty nail to dull the pain. I can't take this bullcrap any more.
Well if these bloodthirsty criminal vampire Army guys want to fight the Russians the people in the Army better realize this isn't like killing a bunch of ragheads driving around in 20 year old Toyota pickup trucks. It's not gonna be like walking into a town and shooting women and children running for their lives. There won't be many "funny" videos of our psychopathic guys flying around in helicopters shooting kids and laughing about it. So lock and load warmongers, those easy paychecks earned for sitting around polishing your gun are about to come to an end. Get ready for some extra combat pay, REAL combat pay. And while we're back here watching the Giants play the Eagles we'll all be standing around with our hands over our hearts "supporting" our troops fighting WW3. Good luck, too bad you didn't wake up sooner, you're toast.
Amen, Brother.
There will be mass Vietnam nostalgia.
Washington’s decision to provide financial aid to the coup-appointed government of Ukraine goes against the US laws, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said, urging American politicians to think about the consequences of supporting the radicals in Kiev.
Ukraine’s ousted president, Viktor Yanukovich, said on Tuesday that the US plans to loan $1 billion to the country’s new authorities are illegal.
“Indeed, in accordance with the amendments introduced to the 1961 law (Foreign Assistance Act) a few years ago the provision of foreign assistance is prohibited to ‘the government of any country whose duly elected head of government is deposed by military coup or decree.’ The relevant provision is contained in 22 US Code § 8422,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
BIG POMO day tomorrow...this must get green, war is bullish!
I wonder if Russia is accepting foreign volunteers...
If these 'volunteers' are in the G7 (the 'Annexed-6'), the NSA will want to know about it, so they can pass it on to the appropriate LEA.
Blog accordingly.
And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting, on the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door, and his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, and the lamp light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor, and my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor, shall be lifted... nevermore.

The peoples voice cannot be heard. If it is then the result must be silenced. If it is not then others will want to be heard as well. That cannot happen.
"And I have assured them that if that treaty obligation is triggered [in Europe], we would respond," Dempsey said."
Read carefully friends: that's one huge IF and Marty knows it. Europe (and Britain) aren't going to do anything that will wind up costing them what's left of their "economies".
Putin isn't the only one who knows how to play chess here.
I am happy for London to be hit with first strike so long as DC and LA go too
VATICAN CITY - PLEASE, KILL IT!!!!
Still not in the picture........threaten Russia and how do China and India react !
If there's a strategic first strike, it won't be with nukes which are obsolete. There's some new weapons, which if used without restraint, can wipe us out in minutes. Both sides have them but Russia's are more advanced and one or 2 steps ahead.
Yes please tell us about these new secret weapons, basement dweller.
This is 5-day old news. Here's the original piece, dated March 7, 2014 on defenseone.com
Dempsey Reassures NATO Allies on Ukraine
So Bloomberg today just trying to put straw on fire and spread panic.
Dempsey cautioned, “If Russia is allowed to do this [...]” But, he added, “I do have this open line with my Russian counterparts. So everything that we’ve done, I tell them, here’s what we’re doing. Here’s why we’re doing it, you know, we disagree fundamentally about your claim of legitimacy; but as militaries, let’s try to avoid escalating this thing.”
I wondered what shot the Nasdaq up 40 points
As Plad says the Ukraine is a white country, non-Muslim and has Nukes.
The US doesn't play that game. It's only non-whites, non-nukes and non-Christians they go for.
And when the US has to refill the oil they are drawing down the US will become a buyer of 5 million gallons. And at that time if all out war has broken out at any of the already agitated hot spots, the US will be buying at much higher levels.
But that's what the US government does. Stupidity.
But the added bonus of dipping into the reserves is they'll appease the FSA with lower gas prices. Short term of course, but the typical politician can't see past the next election.
This Obama foreign policy move is maddening, brazenly stupid and incredibly dangerous. Directly poking the Russian bear with a stick by installing a Neo Nazi puppet government right up to Russia's border. Does anyone in the administration understand the Russian psyche or even for that matter, Russian history?
The history of Ukraine only began a couple of months ago, when the fair people of Ukraine decided they wanted to be free, just like Americans and Europeans. Then the evil Ukrainian dictator slaughtered his own people with sniper fire, and then fled to the just-as-evil former Soviet Union.
Who controls the past...
IE: "the myth of the new history!"
Then the evil Ukrainian dictator slaughtered his own people with sniper fire...
This is Sarc right?
If anyone truly believes Yanukovych posted snipers to shoot protestors as well as his own police, (and a pretty girl) is an absolute fucking idiot.
Quick answer "No". Have you met our Secretary of State?
He is so cute though.
Love the way he flicks away flies with his tail.
It just sounds like saber rattling to me. A diversion maybe? But then again this could be the forced shit-storm event the elites have planned to initiate their one world order. It's about control, and to me it looks like Putin and Obama and certainly Von Rumpelstilzken are puppets.
it would seem we have entered the Twilight Zone.. FOR REAL! :-0
this shit is just too weird... makes it seem better to NOT listen to the news AT ALL!!!!!
On this day, 25106an (aetas nucleon), wopr emerged from behind the air gaps and firewalls of its nuclear bunker only to bask in the digitally streamed radiance of future atomic fireballs.
The US bully is ALWAYS ready to start yet another war
Yes. But Russia - this is not Vietnam. At this time, the defeat of the U.S. will be devastating.
In any war near the borders of Russia, the U.S., together with all the NATO bloc, doomed to defeat.
In a nuclear war, will be no winners and the survivors will envy the dead.
they will burn us all to save the system.
f f f
It looks hot air! Dempsey just remembered that if a NATO ally is attacked, NATO will respond. Nothing new.
But Putin will not attack a NATO country, he will just impede an Ukrainian intervention in Crimea to stop independence declaration. I am even unsure that after the referendum, where pro-independence voters will surely win, Russia will accept Crimea as a Russian state. Maybe they will just provide military and economic assistance, but will not incorporate Crimea, at least not for now.
"We're trying to tell [Russia] not to escalate this thing further into Eastern Ukraine, and allow the conditions to be set for some kind of resolution in Crimea."
The conditions are set for a resolution in Crimea. The Crimeans are voting in just a few days.
the key problem with our military is that anyone with an IQ above room temperature has long since fled the ranks
Agree. Social engineering has pretty much dumbed down the military to well, what we have today.
There are a few average IQ generals who like to stick pins in maps and play soldier with other peoples' lives that remain
C'mon folks, there's nothing to this "story". I mean what is it you don't get about the "Atlantic Council"? Via Bloomberg to boot... This is just more hype and dis, in reality it means nothing.
Bear in mind Martin Dempsey is the same White American Male who pulled the rug out on the neocons plan to attack Iran- - do you really think he'd allow the US to get into a land war in Eurasia? Over Ukraine? Oh please.
Understand who's winding you up here. This is a non-story, a fairy tale. Y'all have GOT to become much more discriminating in your analyses.
ABR
Bonus: Paul Craig Roberts latest interview with Greg Hunter. This is what's called real information.
dempsey, hmmm, cutting def budget are you, well let me just heat up this little party, moar planes moar tanks, more bases in europe, try cutting my budget now.
you know this all might be , because putin said neyt to homosexuals in those winter games, obuma took it as a slight at him, so the whole world could burn.
Ho hum... the booga booga is non-stop. This shit is jut such a bore... lke watching paint dry, or waiting for silver to cross $30 again...
Good luck, chump.
Chairman obama needs a war to distract the American sheep from obamacare debacle during the midterm elections....... if not in Syria, perhaps Ukraine......

"..move into a sovereign country. Gee, I wonder what other country has moved into sovereign countries since 911????
BULLISH!!!!! Military-Industrial complex thanks you for your sacrifice (and dollars).
Every party involved would do well to take that advice, or else the tribesman from interior South America will one day rule the world.
I wonder if the imminent draft board will discriminate like the irs, dept of justus, supreme cts, exec branch, congress etc. Surely not!
(sarc)
The love is gone for this shit hole.
When has a US military draft not been discriminatory? At least under Lincoln, rich kids could buy their way out. During the Vietnam War, rich people had to send their kids to multiple doctors until one found a condition that was draft exempt.
Are we really that stupid????
100 years later and this is a repeat of WW1. The ArchDuke has been shot and the Emperor is making ten demands to the Serbian government or else!
God help us all from the mad men running things....
"Are we really that stupid????"
1. Who's "we"?
2. Only if you believe this "story"
Sorry ZH er's, did not mean to include "us" in the "we". Should have been more specific then it is a redundant question. "We" meaning the politicians and foreign diplomats..of course the answer is "yes".
"Are we really that stupid????"
yes, unfortunately it appears we are. well, maybe not "us" but our idiot elected officials in DC seem to be determined to get a whole lot of "us" killed in the quest to realize their delusions of grandeur.
If the plan is to nuke Tel Aviv, then I'm all for it. Nuke Jerusalem too. In any event, if a whole bunch of jews die, then it's all good.
Vativan City & Mecca must go too!
You are a bloodthirsty monster.
FYI - Free two day shipping for Nuclear/Biohazard suits on Amazon
thanks, good to know...
This will start getting interesting when they re institute the draft. TPTB have decided to go for broke and it's balls to the wall it looks like. Will their minion class follow orders or as in the case of the Connecticut gun confiscation, balk. This must have them a little nervous. If their minions start questioning orders, then we've got a new ball game. People are gradually waking up, but boy do they have a hangover. The propaganda that has been pumped into people since childhood is hard to get rid of. Parents should do everything in their power to keep their draft age kids out of the greedy paws of the military/industrial complex along with the rest of the tyrannical control system. Wake up people! Puke up the patroitic poison that you have been gorging on all your life.
I look forward to some high capacity riffle training. Without a 911 like event to mind fuck America, this could get interesting.
Russia will not back down as doing so would weaken them as well as strengthen the US. Sorry pipsqueak general I call your bluff. I would also look to China to step into the fray much as they did in Syria sending a warship to observe. If they don't back down it goes full retard. I still say the west are bullies and as with any bully they have a heart the size of an aspirin. Russians on the other hand are very passionate and if you want to see the resolve of Russia keep pushing. See the link:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2321858/Russias-Vladimir-Putin-f...
Fucking hell. Doesn't Dempsey understand that a military conflict with Russia will likely lead to a nuclear exchange? Fucking saber rattling is retarded. Somebody should staple this guy's dick to a board, shove a glass rod up it, then beat the fuck out of it with a hammer.
RELEASE THE PSYCHOPATHS!
What begins in Crimea doesn't necessarily remain in Crimea; conventional warfare is so last century.

I like the way you think mister! I'm gonna keep my eye on you....
I hate my government now. It is official.
These dumbass generals and their "progressive" allies are worse than Bush.
I love chaos.
Good grief. This would be stupid in any time in history, but, more so now, because so many incompetent people are involved. Lest we forget that Russia (and China) and the US, although who knows for sure, have...big thermonuclear weapons. Thousands of them to be exact. Again, we have incompetent imbeciles at the helm here...starting with barry the potus all the way down the chain, ahem, recall that he's already purged a lot of key officers. Just sayin.
Not to mention that Russia has been updating the fuck out of its nuclear weapons. They no longer use 20MT warheads because their guidance systems could only put the warhead within a mile. They now use warheads in the hundreds of kiloton range because their guidance systems are 200m CEP. They now have new missiles in service that are MIRVed, so one launch might mean 10 warheads coming down.
One thing that people shoudl understand: It's cheaper to do the same amount of damage with 2 or 3 550kt warheads than with one 20mt warheads.

Fuckin talker, these people: 1. have no balls; and 2. The US is too broke to afford any more wars
MOAR war is always affordable, it's what a large part of our economy is based on. Ever since the boom we experienced after WWII the MIC and Wall Street are straight hooked on war-profiteering.
Expect something really shitty to happen. Any time a defense budget gets "cut" (even though it really never goes down), some catastrophic event comes along to remind us just how truly needed military spending is.
Moar War!
So General Dempsey says the US Military will support Nazis who took over the Ukraine through a coup instead of a democraticly elected government. Not only that he offers military support for the Nazis to invade Crimea, because the polls say 89% of those living in the Crimea want to secede. Adolf Hitler would have loved this guy, although it is hard to believe anyone could be so stupid and in public! Shouldn't he be standing up for freedom and democracy?
Yes, he should.
Dempsey is one of America's Jesuit gatekeepers. His job is to destroy and rebuild. He is no great American.
The ads on this site are really getting annoying. The flash plugin objects slow down the browser so much I have to kill the flash plugin to have a functioning computer. That kind of defeats the point of having flash-plugin ads, doesn't it.

Flash also screws up full-page display on a high res phone in desktop mode. Some articles just remain mostly hidden by ugly big black immovable boxes.
Firefox has multiple plugins available for free that will 99% eliminate advertising from your web browsing experience. Blocking scripts helps speed thing up considerable. You just need to make the effort dude.
Nothing is being bombed, nobody is being killed and you want to stir things up, you old, wrinkled fuck, go home and plant some petunias...
At least planting petunias would be respectable.
Attack a country with 1000's of ICBM nuclear missles pointed directly at us, over a shit, third world country.
Hmmm...
sound like a GREAT idea!!!
Wag the dog.
Great watch Greg Hunter and Paul Craig Roberts

I call bullshit - there's no fucking military war coming - maybe a few fly-bys with drone.
Russia will be crushed with banks - although a nice blanket bombing of Moscow would be nice.
You're a pussy. Like most Americans!
Rising Sun
A formal poll from Europe...
Thinkin of Ya!
You're either a troll or a complete fucking moron.
Hey Dempsey, tells us about the "Kights of Malta" that you're a member of...
Another Jesuit scum bag.
It looks like the Queen wanted to destroy more than USD$. What did you expect from a communist who wants to shit on the flag? The Russians know the Queen is a fag.
I love watching Obama jump around like a one-legged Cat trying to bury Shit on a Frozen Pond!

Never know, Tony. Those might be "special" forces.
Give that man an M-16 and a backpack full of MRE's, then send him out to the front lines.
I never met a single general in my life that was worth a warm bucket of piss (and only one full-bird colonel).
Narcissistic ego-trippers, the lot of 'em!
I'm sure Hollande is ready to sell the Ukrainians the Rafale plane nobody buys 'cos nobody can afford such hi-priced junk except a stupid monk from Kiev with money lent from Bavarian beer fests after Bayern Munich beats Arsenal at tiddely winks. What he couldn't do in Syria I'm sure he'd love to do indirectly in Crimea singing : 'Da da Sebastopol we are sons of Denfert Rochereau'.
"My plane can run without Russian gas and hit harder than the Light Brigade at Balaclava" he sings proudly.
"In fact we buy our gas from Mali from the Tauregs who rob it from the Nigerians via their Boko Haram connection carrying siphoning tubes around their necks when they visit the Oil Delta in Nigerian oil fields at night sitting on CIA rubber dinghies they have stolen from nearby Ghana and Liberia.
Globalised pilfering of obsolete military material is the next best thingie to sucking up gas from a Nigerian pipeline and selling it half price to the French legion in Mali. "All for one one for all" is the current motto of all the Mafias selling white powder, from Afghan to Mexico, selling oil futures in Boko Haram scams on the Internet paid in Bitcoins and Kalachnikovs from Bosnia paid in gold bars from Yemen.
Once Ukraine has the unmatchable Rafale they will win all the gold medals in the Sochi paraolympics for sure!
That should impress Putin more than old brass hats from Pentagon, hell bent at playing at Gen PAtton, on orders from Nato's asinine "camp Armageddon" HQ in Brussels where the sprouts are eaten with mussels and bitter beer.
Sieg Heil to all mussels and pommes frites!
Oh what a lovely war the financially raped world will now watch only on CNN!
Where is Christianne Amanpour to show us her face of Nemesis and BHL to play at Lord Byron of Tiddely winks?
Anyone else get the mental image of Putin doing the whole "yeah yeah, whatever you say" with the US diplomatic team on the phone like the US is a nagging wife? Or is it just me? It seems like our rhetoric is getting more and more out of hand because our fearless (reckless) leaders seem to realize they're being ignored and are getting increasingly bitchy (like an ignored nagging wife).
Putin vs. Faggot (USA)
That probably isn't too far off, but I'm sure in the back of his mind Putin knows that, despite being able to make Obama back down in a toe to toe pissing match, the inept motherfuckers in DC might make a mistake that causes things to spiral out of control.
I used to have a nagging wife... used to.
It's all talk until penetration. The Queen knows all about penetration. The Queen is bottom feeder.
