G-7 Warns Russia Of "Grave Consequences" If Crimea Annexed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The G-8(-1) is clearly concerned about the fall-out from this weekend's referendum in Crimea and in its strngest language yet is condemning (and threatening) Russia:

  • *G-7 CALLS ON RUSSIA TO 'DE-ESCALATE THE CONFLICT IN CRIMEA'
  • *RUSSIA ANNEXATION OF CRIMEA WOULD VIOLATE UN CHARTER: G-7
  • *G-7 CALLS ON RUSSIA TO HALT SUPPORT FOR CRIMEA REFERENDUM
  • *G-7 SAYS WILL NOT RECOGNIZE RESULT OF CRIMEA REFERENDUM
  • *'CEASE EFFORTS TO CHANGE' STATUS OF CRIMEA, G-7 TELLS RUSSIA
  • *G-7 SAYS ANNEXATION OF CRIMEA WOULD HAVE 'GRAVE CONSEQUENCES'

Then, after the threats, calls on Russia to let observers into the country and enter into talks with the Ukrainian government (which has already appeared to give up on Crimea). This comes as Ukraine's PM visits Obama in D.C.

 

Via PTI:

The Group of Seven most developed economies is calling on Russia to stop all efforts to "annex" Ukraine's Crimea region, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said today.

 

G7 leaders, European Council head Hermann Van Rompuy "and I will in a new declaration call on Russia to cease all efforts to annex Ukraine's autonomous republic of Crimea," Barroso said in a tweeted message.

 

"Together with other G7 leaders, Van Rompuy and myself have strongly and unequivocally condemned this action on behalf of the EU," Barroso said.

 

...

 

Pro-Russian leaders there have organised a referendum for Sunday on whether Crimea should join with Russia, with most expecting the vote, if it goes ahead, to produce a large majority in favour.

 

Barroso said the referendum was illegal and called for immediate steps to de-escalate the situation.

 

"Any attempt to legitimise a referendum in Crimea is contrary to the Ukrainian constitution and international law and quite clearly illegal," he said

 

"If meaningful negotiations do not begin within the next few days and produce results within a limited timeframe, this will trigger additional measures," he added.

 

The G7 announcement will be made as Ukraine interim prime minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk heads for talks with US President Barack Obama, with the pressure for more sanctions against  Moscow mounting.

Germany's DAX continues to fall as tensions escalate and EURUSD hits EURUSD hits 1.39 as it appears China continues to diversify its FX reserves away from the USD and foereign capital flows are repatrated to the safety of Swiss 2Y rates

Ukraine will fall out of the news soon, the US has orchastrated their bait and switch when they took Ukrainian gold as collateral on a bailout package and Russia has siezed strategic terrain.

 

Everyone is a winner.

 

After the referendum the powers that be will hunker down and allow their respective grabs to become status quo.

Size does matter, in the real world, PUTIN fucks OBama in the pussy, and its game-over.

In the real world, the ZIONIST MOFU's all have a secret death wish, and wish to take the world with them, ... and of course PUTIN isn't ready to go.

No unlike Stanley Kubrick "How I won the war, and love to die"

The ZIO's are on a death-wish,... just step back and let the USA & ISRAEL fuck each other to death, and the USA will be fucked by the Mexicans, and the Palestinians will fuck ISRAEL.

Just step back and enjoy the show.

Israel is also the most 'atheist' nation. This suggests two things to me: first, Judaism of elites is likely more a strategy of public relations, one can be both Jew and atheist to play both sides, economy and politics; second. anti-Semitism can only ever effect those people at the bottom, the common people (the elites will simply escape, as in any religion), meaning that anti-Semitic critiques of capitalism are both absurd and ineffective.

A political analyst says the United States’ plot to oust a sovereign elected government in Ukraine is a gross crime, adding that US President Barack Obama must be impeached.

“His [Obama’s] claim that is a national emergency in the United States is simply proof that Obama is declaring himself a dictator, that he’s acting outside of the constitution, outside of the Congress and that he must be impeached immediately if we are not to go with a thermonuclear confrontation with Russia in the coming days,” Mike Billington, editor for Executive Intelligence Review newsmagazine, told Press TV

The other day I read an Op Ed in a Russian newspaper explaining why Putin is acting the way he's acting. The major point, talking strictly about Ukraine, is that G7 lost all it's credibility in Russia's eyes after shitting on the Agreement from February 21st before the ink get dry.

So fuck those sleazy lying SOB's and the sheeple that unquestionably believe them; they deserve whatever comes their way!

How ironic for all the "legal" brains who are politicians, and the army of lawyers behind them, that the G7 cannot figure out that it is technically not an "annexation" if a "We The People" determine to leave (secede from) Ukraine -- which they were part of (on paper) only since 1954.

Using historic precedent, then scession of Kosovo and scession of the 13 US Colonies was illegal also?  No?

Ah, but secession of the US South or that of Crimea IS illegal?  Oh, I get it:  "Secession is in the eye of the be-holder".  If the party you're beholden to is big enough (King George, the US), their "Might makes Right".  Got it.

Ok, is it just me or is the west escilating tensions? I'm not a fan of Russia, however, the seem to have limited thier troops to no more than the 25k already allowed there under an agreement, in Crimea no one has been killed - no shots fired. The people are expressing their will. So what exactly is Russia doing to stoke tensions? What exactly is it that Russis is supposed to stop doing?

This almost reminds me of what the US did with Iraq - hey Saddam prove you doin't have or didn't make any chemical weapons. Well how do you prove a negative?

This all seems like BS to me and a contrived scenario on the part of the west.

Germans are being prepared for war:

What is behind the warmongering of the German media?


12 March 2014


Rarely before has the German media been brought so much into line. Two weeks after Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych was chased out of office by armed gangs of fascists, the television hosts and newspapers are virtually unanimous in support for the confrontational course adopted by Berlin and Washington towards Russia.

Hardly any critical voices can be heard. On the contrary, the newspapers seek to outdo each other in fomenting the conflict and demanding that the government take a tougher stance against Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Süddeutsche Zeitung demands “threats and punishments” instead of “talks” while the Frankfurter Allgemeine calls on the “free world” to deploy the “means of deterrence.”

The media are availing themselves of distortions and lies that are reminiscent of Goebbels’ propaganda techniques.

They downplay or conceal the role of militant fascists during the putsch in Kiev, as well as the presence of three fascist ministers in the new government supported by the European Union.

Gold Breaks $1,360 As US Dollar Slides Further Down 


 Gold breaks $1,360 today with US Dollar sliding down to 79.63. China's worries and Ukraine situation are putting futures under pressure. Could it be that the Copper slump is the counter strike at Chinese shadow financial system in the ongoing Financial War? We will never get the clear answers here, but US Dollar is sliding further today and Copper at this levels can not indicate the healthy growing economy.    Gold is climbing the "Wall Of Worry" in its new Bull market and we have a lot of calls that this rally will be short lived. Shorts will be surprise and will have to cover again providing more fuel to this move. Now the second wave of advance in Gold Junior miners should confirm this rally. Major companies are solidly off the lows from December, but smaller companies were still lacking the bids behind. With rising Gold price the best project held by juniors will come on the investor's radar screens. http://sufiy.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/junior-miners-gold-breaks-1360-as-us...

It's sad to see the West become as hypocritical as the USSR used to be. (Even sadder to see how unified our STATE CONTROLLED MEDIA has become in this country. Free press my ass.)

Anyone else get the idea that the West is doing this solely because of Russia's stance against homosexual propaganda? (That was the big snafu during the Olympics, right?)

Stop thinking from perspective black & white, good & evil. It's not so simple. It's not like Obama is evil Cabal puppet and Putin with China is angel that will save someone. No! Obama as many other politicians in west are puppets of Cabal BUT Putin is a brutal criminal KGB agent that is beating up people, arresting them, and invading other countries. He has same principals as Cabal - lies, brutality, fear, etc. and has same goal as Cabal - more power. Difference is that Cabal is hiding under puppets but Putin is acting by him self. Which makes him vulnerable. But he is invading Ukraine, he is criminal, and Cabal is using this event to fight for it's power in region, and will gain more control based on this fear event. In Ukraine there are at least two criminals that is fighting for this region & resources. And that's it! Cabal thought it will manage to enslave Ukraine by IMF & World Bank debt, but Putin stepped in by military invasion, because he doesn't hold such instruments as Cabal. But he has no good intentions for Ukraine, he want to remain status qua so that his oligarchs can continue to steal resources in this country and people get poorer and poorer?

Putin invaded Ukraine? That's a lie.
The legal concept of "invasion" is contrary to the introduction of troops to restore constitutional order, at the request of the legal, legitimate, democratically elected President, with the support of 80% of the population.

Do you think that is not 80% but 70%?
Maybe you're right. Because 80% or 70% of Ukrainians do not support criminal fascist rebels, buyout committed an armed coup in Kiev and illegal seizure of state power.

But I'm glad that you have no doubts regarding Legitimate democratically elected President.

Kindly refrain from inferring what my thoughts might be.

I merely questioned your "ad hoc" 80% figure, which you seem unwilling to substantiate and have downgraded to 70% in response. DO you have any figures to back up your assertion? What are they 80% 70% or some other invented figure?

That's all I asked.

Spare me the "criminal" "fascist" " rebels" labels (which only serve to show the bias of your viewpoint) If you have a figure that's based on fact I'd be delighted to hear what it is. Or are you going to retract your post as being erroneous?

Exact figures are 80% or 70% - it will show a referendum in the Crimea. But I assure you that it will be about 70-80%.

Certainly Russia has Oligarchs and Gazprom and other interests in ecomonic control.  If you are in Russia it appears they have all the control.  If you are in the west the IMF/world bank are in control.  If you live on either side you want to see those with such power limited as much as possible.

Yogibear - Actually, the losers are of every nationality and have been made poor by many years of fascist government. .01 percent include Chinese, Russia and Arab leadership as well as Western. Marxism, forcing the pwople to subsidize one another is the next stage after the robbers have all the loot. War happens when one group of oligarchs with more loot (and cant steal from the citizens any more) power try and rob another group of oligarchs.

I am NOT choosing sides. Christ lived during a time of a powerful western empire. Then like now you live by the sword you die by the sword. I like his saying of keeping the eye simple in such times.

If WW3 does break out there will be no winner. All lose, because it won't stay conventional warfare. The leaders are not going to just crawl out of bunkers and start ruling again either. Such a horrific tragedy would have the remaining 2/3 of the global population seeking justice, to find out who was responsible for nearly every family will lose someone. Do you think the survivors are going to want global banks and militaries again with the same leaders? Best if the next big one can be avoided.

Russia will not annexe Crimea anytime soon. Crimeans will vote for independence/accession to Russia, but Russia will not complete the formalities necessary to make Crimea part of Russian territory. What is the hurry? For all practical purposes it is already Russian territory.

But Russia is not going to recognise the regime in Kiev. So to save face, the West has to press ahead with economic/trade sanctions and Russia will retaliate as promised by dumping Western currencies from trade, quite likely with the announcement of the BRICS bank and currency. That will kill the US$, which was the plan all along anyway.

If they push for conflict Russia could very quickly tip over the Chess Board and turn Europe into a distracted rabble.
