Ukraine Folds? Prepares To Evacuate Citizens From Crimea

Tyler Durden's picture




 

While Ukraine's leaders have on one side threatened retaliation and will not stand for Russia's annexation of Crimea, they have also suggested that they should be compensated for the loss of the region. However, the latest headlines from Interfax suggest that the Ukraine government has to some degree given up hope...

  • *UKRAINE GOVT ADOPTS PLAN TO EVACUATE CITIZENS FROM CRIMEA: IFX
  • *UKRAINE TO SETTLE CRIMEAN CITIZENS ELSEWHERE IN COUNTRY: IFX

While no details are known on the timing - or whether this includes the military - it certainly appears like Ukraine has ceded the region to Russia (leaving it tough for western sanctions to achieve anything now).

It's almost as if the Putin knew exactly how far the "international community" would step up.  Maybe he hired some of the "Russian Hackers" who are always blamed for data breaches here, and they're better than the NSA's hot-pocket crowd.

I'm still trying to figure out why Crimean citizens need to be evacuated.  Last I checked, only military personnel were in Russian custody?  My guess is, if a citizen wants to Join the Zionist debt party, Putin will open the gates and say "good riddance"...

WTF?  I certainly hope the CIA is taking notes here.  As far as I can tell this has been the least expensive take over in history, taking into account both cost in money and lives.

 

Now compare this to various US mis-adventures:

 

Afghanistan

Iraq

Lybia

Syria

Lebanon

Egypt

Vietnam

Laos

Cambodia

Guatemala

Uruguay

Honduras

Nicaragua

Indonesia

Panama

Philipines

Puerto Rico

Haiti

 

I'm sure I missed some, but you get the idea.  

 

Putin.  Mak'in US look bad.

 

P.S.  I'm sure China is taking notes also.  All of the sudden annexing Taiwan and the surrounding South China sea looks like a walk in the park.

 

Oh and by the way-  what 'Sanctions' did the USA have enacted upon them for all of the above???

What the heck happened to our Constitution, these dual citizen neocons are just like the Ukrainian neo nazis.  They have stolen the country from the people.  And our media is no different from the ukraine media.

The US was subjugated a long, long time ago.  The original US Constitution lasted for maybe 100 years at most.  I would say it was fatally compromised around 1871 or so.

 

1913 put the nail in coffin so to speak.  JFK was a road bump in their plan.

If Putin and the Duma were smart, they whould immediately offer up to provide fair market value for assets of any Crimean who wishes to leave.

It allows people the ability to remain as a Russian citizen or to simply leave if they chose to.  And if Ukrainians wish to leave, then these newly vacant dwellings could be given out to Tartar refugees fleeing Azerbeijan living in squalor camps in Crimea.

I'd be way more than what KFOR and the Albanians gave to the Serbs they ethnically cleansed from 2000 onwards...

a lot of people are not able to do the math, if you add 2 zeros after number 2 it becomes 200.

The joke is that either 2 or 200 people leaving Crimea doenst make any difference in a country with a population of tens of millions.

ZH has become low class so to speak ... no longer smart people able to think out of the box, just busy bees clicking away, to be productive

In most States pension funds less than 50% funded. With reduced pensions, many will retire to Crimea or Odessa, the Russian version of Miami Beach. However not until a few demonstrations, civil disorder and protests more violent then what we have seen in Kiev. To make matters worse some pension funds now investing in sub-prime mortgages in EU and Romania through PIMCO. Unbelievable but true.

I admire your loyalty to your cause, but sooner or later you need to admit reality. Putin is not weak. He is operating from a position of strength and he is winning. Your constant cheerleading to the contrary will not change reality. You don't have to like it, but you need to be honest about what the current situation is.

I am sure more than 15 people take up their offer to join them in the new Nazi Ukraine slave pen where bank accounts have been frozen, pensions cut, austerity declared, new banker government sponsored thugs roll around beating people, billions more in loans have been taken out by corrupt politicans for the people to pay off, the currency is worthless, the gold reserves have been stolen, the pipelines are being auctioned off to the West for a song, and a banker was put in charge of the countrywide lootfest.  Yep.  I think maybe slightly more than 15 people will go.

EuroNews: Ukrainian TV boss assaulted and forced to resign by far-right Svoboda MPs 

They were angry that public broadcaster, First National Channel, had broadcast the Russian Parliament signing a treaty with Crimea on Tuesday.

Yelling and beating Panteleymonov around the head, the men accused him of serving Putin, while there were Ukrainians “dying at the hands of Russian occupiers” and called him “Moscow trash.”  They then forced him to sign a letter of resignation.

Ironically, one of the men involved in the assault was the deputy head of Ukraine’s committee on freedom of speech.

The EU seems to have woken up to the reality of the Kiev regime.  It's ironic but a military coup and a democratic election afterward seem to be the most peaceful solution out of the situation at this point.  That way, Ukraine may be able to stay together as one country.

Unless they are moving folks out before a major conflagration? Ukraine has crazy fuckers in charge. I hope this subsides and nothing happens, but there is a lot of potential. ZH makes no "coverage of hoped for Armageddon". They report what is going on. I see stuff here hours to days before what happens on other MSM sites. As for "The market" being ahead of ZH, give me the script a couple days before so I can front run and make money too. It's pretty easy to know what is going on before it happens WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON BEFORE IT HAPPENS. Go hang out with your HFT programs Mr Frontrunner. Shitheads like you perpetuate the ruin of the free market system which ultimately leads to slavery. So on that note, GO FUCK YOURSELF.

If you glean any info ahead that I may makes billions of dollars on, I would greatly appreciate it. I know that won't happen. Excuse my ire towrds you.

Ok, first of all it was a civilian who pushed her and arguably she may have fell. Second, the video looks potentially old as the vehicles are quite old behind her. Third, the link is from Ukraine PR Web. If they sniped her from the theater across the way I would take a double take. If this is the kind of footage they gather to counteract Svoboda beating the crap out of a TV reporter for reporting on Crimea being signed into accession by Putin.....I'd say you will need better stuff. I hope that old lady is ok as she seems to be after getting up and walking away.
