Russia Accuses US Mercenaries Of Inciting Civil War In Ukraine
In response to claims by the Ukraine government (and the west) that Russia provoking trouble in Eastern Europe - with The White House's Jary Carney even suggesting that pro-Russia demonstrators were paid - Russia's foreign ministry has responded. Posting via their Facebook page, Russia urged Ukraine to halt any interior military preparations which could instigate a civil war. But the kicker, for which we anxiously await a rebuttal, is Russia's comment that they "are particularly concerned that the operation involves some 150 American mercenaries."
The US administration perspective... (via WaPo)
In Washington, the Obama administration expressed deep skepticism that the scattered uprisings and building takeovers in cities such as Donetsk and Kharkiv have been spontaneous. "There is strong evidence suggesting some of these demonstrators were paid," said Jay Carney, the White House spokesman.
"If Russia moves into eastern Ukraine, either overtly or covertly, this would be a very serious escalation," Carney said.
The Ukrainian perspective...
The Ukrainian government dispatched its highest-level police and security officials to the region Monday in an effort to put down the separatist agitation.
Kiev is confronting an attempt to "destabilize the situation," Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said at an emergency cabinet meeting Monday. "The plan is for foreign troops to cross the border and seize the country's territory, which we will not allow."
And the Russian perspective, as ITAR-TASS reports,
The Russian Foreign Ministry urged Ukraine to halt any interior military preparations, which could instigate a civil war in the country, the ministry was quoted as saying on its Facebook.com account.
“According to our information, units of the Interior troops and Ukraine’s national guards as well as militants from the illegal armed formation ‘The Right Sector’ are being amassed in the southeastern parts of Ukraine and in the city of Donetsk,” the ministry said.
“We are particularly concerned that the operation involves some 150 American mercenaries from a private company Greystone Ltd., dressed in the uniform of the [Ukrainian] special task police unit Sokol,” the ministry said.
It seems the tit-for-tat sanctions have escalated to tit-for-tat explanations of who is escalating. However, whet is clear is the Russian warning which seems to implicitly be 'don't start this or we will finish it'. All along Putin has claimed this is to protect his countrymen in a foreign nation...

The eastern province is required to have ownership of the electric power lines going into the Crimea.
The US would NEVER do such a thing!

Who owns Russia's central bank? Its all theatre until the central bank is globalist free.
Elivira Nabiullina is from Vladimir Putin's inner circle. Before her appointment as head of Russia's Central Bank, she was trusted aide to President Putin.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvira_Nabiullina
She is Tatar. Many Tatar bankers especially. I know of several in Volga Regions, Saratov especially.
Also many Germans. Great Katerine invited not only German Farmers, but also Bankers...
My Lady is Russian Arbitration Lawyer, her Banker Family personally invited by Katerine from Germany. She is full German blood.
Russia Central Bank is some different than west...
I hope you are right because if you are not, we are in serious deep shit.
What I told is correct...
Always better to have confidence of good information when must ready for deep shit approaching.
Trust me, Russians are naturally much better prepared.
for America reading; Dmitry Orlov compares the situations and mindsets..of who better prepared for collapse...
Russia went thru, has the experience...are durable.... even today example: over 90% of potatoe consumed in Russia is from family plots...
Others could find collapse cannot be survived by trip to mall or walmart
Keep pushing the oligarchs out of Russia and hopefully the Ukraine. We know how evil these people are and they were behind the Bolsheviks. Our "dual-citizens."
Orlov nails it. Americans are in for a shock when things fall apart.
Who are the really secret Spetsnaz? They are called the ghosts or something. Hopefully they will give Greystone/Blackwater guys a bad day.
Yes but they TOTALLY own America -I think the battle is still going on in Russia. I hope. The truth is hard to figure out.
>>>The truth is hard to figure out.
Better get a guy like Anderson Cooper on it. He's a sure bet to dig out all the facts.
Americas first openly gay president. I'm sure he's on the short list for a few cycles out. ZOGster all the way. Handsome blowjob lips... what's not to love?
150 highly trained sociopaths, plus logistics, don't come cheap. Wonder who is guaranteeing payment.
According to Ukrainian Security Service, mercenaries will be engaged in political search and protection of state security over inability of Ukrainian law enforcement agencies to curb on leaders and activists of pro-Russian movement independently.
This initiative was put forward by oligarchs Ihor Kolomoyskyi, a co-owner of Ukraine’s PrivatBank, and Serhiy Taruta, head of the industrial union of Donbass, a coal basin in eastern Ukraine, as these business tycoons were appointed as governors in central Ukraine’s Dnepropetrovsk region and eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk region, respectively. A source in Ukrainian Security Service which participated in recent special meeting chaired by parliament-appointed interim President Oleksandr Turchynov reported about this fact.

According to what I've read, Greystone was/is the primary recruiter of international military personnel for Erik Prince.
Prince is working for the Chinese now...in Africa.
No matter what the latest appellation, the highly paid cadres of sociopathic deviants and trained killers operating from occulted shadow realms for the past decades and slithering from one bloody abbatoir of homicidal madness to the next is a hydra headed beast of absolute evil emanating from the infernal precincts of Washington, Langley, and Wall Street. It takes a lot to make the KGB look like a habitation of moral rectitude, but this fascist miasma of corporatist psychopathology masquerading as governance has succeeded in doing so. The requisite for such a demoralizing manifestation of national insanity is the moral cowardice and mental stupefaction of a clan of barbarous paganism operating not far beneath the thin veneer of "christian civilization". Vlad and his cohort of unctious KGB orthodox "priests" in sanctimonious icon worship cannot even remotely rival the hideous hypocrisy of these bloodthirsty ghouls and revenants of the EU and US in the successive eviscerations of the Balkans, the Middle East, North Africa and now Ukraine.
Yoo shoold rite a book.
Love it!
You have a propensity for verbosity, my friend.
Mad skillz...
The SAT called. Seems you've rented some words they need back.
edit:
i had to look up
abbatoir: slaughterhaouse
miasma: vile smell
revenant: returned dead or ghost
Am I the only one who thinks that Russia's outing of American mercenaries on America's biggest spy tool,Facebook, is absolutely frickin' hilarious? True bitch slap there by Russia.
Sort of funny, when you see PUTIN go full 'snowden' or 'Assuange'
RT-COM is certainly going to get shutdown and soon, if Russia start's telling too much truth.
Nobody anywhere ZH, or USA can handle the truth, and UNICORN's know I'm telling the truth.
There are some trolls on this site! Down voting the true statements from posters!
The US wants a civil war in Ukraine. Then it can use eastern Ukraine for it's NATO bases as well as blame Russia for the entire debacle.
+1. "The US wants a civil war in Ukraine." Not even so we can use eastern Ukraine for NATO bases. Just for the sake of uncorking more bloody chaotic upheaval on Russia's borders. See Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Georgia, etc. etc. etc. The entire Kissinger/Brzezinski strategy involves inciting chaos for the mere sake of it, on top of vital resource deposits, along the routes of resource trans-shipment, and around the perimeter of Russia and China. Look at a good atlas with political boundaries and resource maps and it becomes obvious. In Africa the target is the Chinese, and their massive investments and cooperative ventures with African nations, particularly Sudan, Libya and the southeast of Africa. There's a reason the "Al-Quaeda" types always seem to crop up where China has just built trade infrastructure.
The point is not to seize the resources or claim territory for Empire. The point is to make it too dangerous for anyone else to access the resources, and thereby keep them "on ice" to be retrieved later, courtesy of the lavishly funded and nearly ubiquitious US war machine.
I agree entirely! The entire Libyan fiasco was to remove the Chinese hand on the Libyan Oil tap which, they had paid for!!! to a US hand.
Gaddafi was a unique fit as a Libyan leader who, built great infrastructure there, shared oil profits with his people, kept order! and, increased literacy to 97% from 3% when he took power. (We can't have those African/Arabs being able to read now can we!?)
Gaddafi was trying to circumvent the petrodollar via the modern gold dinar. The americans didn't like that. Did you notice one of the first things the rebels did after they took control was to establish a new central bank of libya. Those peasant rebels sure are financially literate. LOL
>>>The US wants a civil war in Ukraine. ... Just for the sake of uncorking more bloody chaotic upheaval....
The US government believes that promoting just the right amount of chaos throughout the world is in its own interests (flight to safety/USD etc.). At some point, and fairly soon I think, the USG is going to be getting a good deal more chaos than it has planned for.
how many CIA personnel did it take to drive russkies out of afghanistan? 150 or less? charlie wilson's war 2.0. lol.
and yes, most of the "protesters" are paid by the russians, and bussed in from russia. those are the facts.
ignorant post...you know nothing about Afghan conflict.
useless talkings
The Book "Charlie Wilsons WAR" is required reading by USA State Department for anybody being sent to Afghanistan, this guy gets down-voted, which of course means that essentially he's telling the truth on the first part,
>>>
What the fuck that this has to do with UKRAINE is anybody's guess, Charlies Wilson ( a Texas Congressman ) got STINGER MISSILES to the TALEBAN (Mujaheen), ...
but so far nobody is giving stingers to the neo-nazi's in Kiev on USA budget.
>>>
My favorite part of the book is that the real reason Russia collapsed was because of the Afghan "Black Widow", but you have to read the book. The book is important not for AFGHAN war and RAYGUN, but because this war brought RUSSIA to its knees, the reason the book is studied, is so that everybody clear4ly understands how Russia was destroyed.
Nyet...KGB was aware Soviet was headed down for serious changings even before Afghan escalated...
that is one of many reasons Soviets did not want more involvement, but was bad situation in Afghan..much trouble
Soviet was trying to stabilize regions near to its borders. Built infrastructure and schools...girls could attend school for first time.
Many of these girls actually killed by their own fathers for wanting education.
Former Afghan Commanders tell the Russians were better soldiers, controlled far more of country in real and not many faces like the americans who they say hide in compounds and avoid...
Best books of this subject for US reader are "Afgantsy" Rodric Braithwaite and "Ghost Wars" Steve Coll
Charlie Wilsons war...not so much good source
Think...If Russian went against US/coalition and had supplied advance arms what damage would have been.....
and fact is Russian Federation has instead helped..cos want what stability can be gained in these regions..
which assisitance get payed back with no respect as matter of course....usual insult style which endears to so much world..
Btw "Russia was destroyed" ??? Nyet...Soviet was collapsed, defunct.....not Russia
Best books of this subject for US reader are "Afgantsy" Rodric Braithwaite and "Ghost Wars" Steve Coll
Charlie Wilsons war...not so much good source
*
Charlie Wilson's war is required reading by State Department on travel to Afghanistan.
The 'black widows' brought down the Russian Army in Afghan, and troops returning home to mother russia without genitals by the 1,000's was a lie that not even Russia could cover up.
Afghan was Russia Vietnam, the Vietnam War bankrupted the USA, and destroyed Russia.
yeh...everybody knows how well State handles world and understand Afghan...
rest post is some incoherent
Charlie Wilson's War is pulp fiction. Starring Brad "clueless goy" Pitt, and Angelina "meat puppet" Jolie, right? The fact that it is required reading at State tells you all you need to know. I'm sure intellectual powerhouse Jay Carney gained much of his foreign policy insight and expertise from reading this book.
Not rly, USSR went down due to:
1. communism is a curse and it run it course;
2. Chernobyl;
3. USSA in conjunction with KSA collapsed the price of oil and bankrupted the USSR;
4. USSA got to the KGB/party leaders and got them to sell out (the 1989 revolutions were if not staged, at least were allowed to happen);
5. after 2-3 generations people get soft and no amount of violence and or bullshit is able to restrain them;
As a result Letonia, Latvia, Estonia, Moldova, ...stans, belarus, ukraine, georgia, armenia, czechoslovakia, hungary, poland, romania, bulgaria, albania seized the moment and broke away from the mfkers (notice how many countries the ussr was fucking up? almost as many as USSA did/does);
In conclusion, fuck USSA and fuck the URSS/Russian federation (the former on account of having the largest country in the world and still not enough for them).
1. 1. You are confused between the concepts of Russia and the USSR.
2. Against the Soviet army in Afghanistan, fought the whole world.
Today, together with the U.S. Army in Afghanistan, fighting the whole world. But the U.S. military has not been able to achieve in Afghanistan even what was achieve Soviet troops.
This shows the incredibly low combat capability of the U.S. Army.
I wonder how many days will hold the U.S. Army in Afghanistan, if the Russian people will put this country, 1,000 of the newest Russian MANPADS and 3000 pieces of its latest Russian RPG? LOL
Agree good post Silvermail...
Fomer Afghan Commanders told Russians were better soldier and real. They hate Americans who they say have many faces, hide behind raybans and stay in compound, control not much ground outside of main areas.
b thunder...how many taliban did it take to drive the US out of Afghanistan? (1..his name is Obama)
Does Ronald McDonald count as mercenary?
Yes, USO!
Of course, I would like to see a video of the clown drug behind a pickup, then shot and knifed like Angel in the greatest film of all time, The Wild Bunch.
"...the operation involves some 150 American mercenaries"
Recall several weeks ago that I posted a comment about a young Ukrainee arrested for being involved in the Kiev uprising. He alleged seeing about 60 Americans stirring up the riots, together with about 40 Germans and some Turks and Poles.
This report appears to confirm that.
Who's paying them. The CIA?
Vlad needs to capture some of these mercs. I know the FSB/Speznaz could do it-- unless Vlad has some boys of his own off the leash. If tha's the case, we won't see any captured mercs.
That is exactly it, of course the Russians got some mercs on the payroll also, there is no reason to expect otherwise. There is no reason to capture any of these guys or even try to stop them. The damage is already done. It is all about the surveillance of the situation at this point. Just because the boots on the ground are 'well trained' doesn't mean the back office people are.
Doesn't have to be the CIA. Could be State. All the money is coming from the same place, through whatever channels. NGO's, think tanks, actual intelligence agencies, or just plain criminals.
Same thing!
State Department
That's right, ... when I was a kid in Ireland, in
Tralee (ring of kerry) they came to our town, and asked if we wanted to go 'fight' in Vietnam, it was good money.
Most of us went, we fought everyday anyhow so to get paid for fighting didn't mean much to us, there were no jobs
in Ireland at the time.
In the 1950's the USA wasn't legally involved in the Vietnam war, but they had merc's by the 1,000's from all over the world fighting for the USA on the USA nickel.
We got a lot of training, navy sog, rangers, cia, .. but the ones that everybody feared the most were 'state department', they were experts with the knife and
silent killing, they were the ones everybody knew not to mess with. The State Department guys were teaching 100's of way's to slit a man's throat, slash&thrust,
such that he would be dead before he even saw the knife.
Then (1950's) as now, the USA State Department hires the worlds #1 experts in killing, remember Politics is WAR by other means, ... thus all politics is "COVERT WAR"
Lastly, just remember they put the EVIL BITCH from hell in charge of STATE-DEPARTMENT, and now KERRY.
That's one motley bunch the Kiev junta has assembled.
Interior ministry troops = low paid corrupt street cops.These are the guys that will shake you down in back alley for a $20 spot, because you forgot your "papers" back at your flat (first hand experience)
National guard troops = nascent militia mostly comprised of old fat men and part time drunkards.
Right Sector = neo-nazis armed with sticks and a hodge-podge collection of protective sports gear.
and 150 mercs who, other than collecting a fat check, have no dog in this fight...
yeah, something tells me Yats-n-rats-ass will be in New York seeking aslyum by summers end.
More likely Loundon..
Maybe with a little polonium in his chai.
forget...that was never...Brits now exposed, implicated and don't want talk about anymore....
.Usual suspects pushed hard...was good to use to demonize Russian while it lasted
....Russia had tried to warn of traces of hot smuggling, but got brush off ignored...now is understood why
Brits held back any information and never cooperated with Russian investigators...now obvious why...

When was it proud and grand?......the more I learn the more I wonder.
I wonder also. But I feel comfortable that we were prouder and grander than any other existing nation I am aware of at the time the Founding fathers drafted the Constitution.
Agree...for correct answer begin before Lincoln...
USA Inc est 1865.
Me too. I wonder like crazy-was there just more trust because there was less media to expose the lies making it easier to mislead? Maybe, but I doubt it.
When you look back in time it's physically apparent people had a greater respect for morality and themselves. Seeing people out in public, at sporting events- they were dressed to kill. They had respect for themselves and others. The bankers made sure that enough inflation took hold over the years to force mom into the workplace to survive. And they sold it that if you DIDNT work as a woman, you were less. Hell, I even remember during the Murphy Brown years my sister-in-law talked about wanting to have a baby and she wasn't even dating anybody. I mean, WTF? Our programming content has covertly shaped the culture.
Once the parental figures were preoccupied with simply surviving, the schools and dept. of education could go to work. And the erosion begets more erosion only interrupted by mindless relief in the form of reality TV programming.
So, even though much was BS it was certainly MORE real than what we have today. And the further back you go to the founding, the purer it gets. But "progress" and central banking had other ideas and they have run out of options.
Now it's time to hit reset on the time machine- and when you do, dial up 1776!
I am so sick of zionist/globalist criminals who own Amerika pushing their pathetic garbage and lies as they serve their elitist masters' interests to the detriment of America and americans.
I agree entirely with your sentiment even if it is very America centric. Think for a sec for those who have already died at the hands of these sociopaths and, for those who will surely die into the very near future.
America and, American leaders bear the blame for so many deaths of innocent people since the 50's but, my empathy is not for the US public or their reputation but, for those that have died at the hands of those so called leaders of that US. From your post I sensed that you felt more for the US reputation that those that have died at her bloody hand.
Aplogies if I misread your intention.
Yes, I think you misread my post. I am sickened by the millions of innocents killed by the US. However, they have been killed because a laregly foreign (zionist and globalist bankster element) has used us to do their murderous deeds -but on the other hand, my anger is directed at millions of Americans too -lazy, selfish sheeple who look the other way in complete ignorance -when in the day of the internet they have no excuse for their ignorance. Those fake "Christians" who lust for war ignore the esence of their faith -The Golden Rule and Sermon on the Mount. I have nothing but contempt for them -including many of my family and friends -I believed in America when I was a Child -I believed we were a good and Godly nation that stood for freedom , righteousness and justice. To a certain extent, 50 years ago, we stood for those values -at least far more than we do now. I was naive. I was duped -but things have gotten far worse, the opportunity to seek, find and learn the Truth is today far greater. But we have failed completely -at least so far -
Amen brother, I feel your pain and confusion.
>>>millions of innocents killed by the US. However, they have been killed because a largely foreign (zionist and globalist bankster element) has used us to do their murderous deeds
A good deal of truth there, particularly in regard to the last hundred years. But it wasn't, as far as I know, da Joos who ethnically cleansed mid-latitude North America, invaded Canada, Mexico, Cuba, the Philippines etc.
Come on, good ol' Anglo-Saxon 'Murca, step forward and take a bow! You know you deserve it.

Just follow the money ... that's the key now ... who gets what ..
CHina gets the tabeban/cia drone, note that the TALEBAN(CIA) sold their own drone, this made it the perfect crime and the reason CHINA must be silent about KILLING THEIR OWN PEOPLE.

Malayasia get's some of the 'UKRANE' GOLD, ... the higher up politicians will do anything for gold, but now their will be a COUP. Note also that the plane pilot was the son in law of the opposition political party, so they also made sure in implicate the opposition in their crime.
USA win's most of all, there will be a COUP, the USA will do a UKRAINE, and take over the MALAY government, and then when they fight IRAN, they will beach from this location, and they will build a canal through MALAY as they have wanted.

You were rambling on...hard to tell what next....
Mummy, mummy, I don't know what to believe, they're me.
Goldman Sachs said this was all over 2 weeks ago. Are you telling me some little kid with no experience working in a bank office cubicle can't predict world events or the markets? Are you telling me gold is really a slam dunk buy, coming off a double bottom, in an uptrend, 700 dollars below sustainable mining costs, as India relaxes import restrictions, as China buys it all up, as the banks run out of it in the west? Can't be. A little kid at Goldman Sachs said 5000 years of history and fact was transient, but his old daytrade was the real thing. Dam, you know what else is fd up? Copper up since the little kids at Goldman said it would drop too.
Hmmm. i don't think Goldman knows shit about shit. And if you trade with them, they lose your wealth.
If Goldman knows shit about shit they ain't telling you, muppet. Goldmans dignified exhortations are for entertainment purposes only, if you want to follow that after watching the Kardashians.
Prove there are mercenaries by capturing a few.
Kiev said they were sending..it was even in main media
Wouldn't it be awesome if Spetznaz captured a few and put their sorry faces on CNN, complete with "don't worry" messages for mommy back home in North Carolina?
Wow, you sure hate the US more than the President does. I'd hope that if they indeed are US mercenaries (and not some Russian propaganda construct), that they bag a few Russians and show *them* on CNN as trophies.
Mercenaries end their days on the end of a rope and no one sheds a tear. They are pirates, nothing more. No commission=no honor.
Someone hired the A-team?
I pitty the fool.
The US is repeating almost precisely the pattern of the Roman Empire in its declining years.
I will spare you the long long list of comparisons. You either know history or you don't. Read "Plutarch's Lives."
I figure Barry for Caligula, but maybe that is giving him way too much credit.
I was waiting for someone to put a horse in the senate until I saw Kerry. And people who consider themselves financially literate get their news from a guy named Liesman. You can't make this shit up.
Celebrity chefs.
Nuff said.
'Our on-site management team ensures that our personnel employ best practices while executing projects efficiently and effectively.'
Well, that has put my mind at rest, nothing to worry about here, I am slightly concerned about what their definition of 'efficiently and effectively' means and that there is no mention of holding themselves to high ethical and moral standards, or in fact any standards at all, I suspect if it was efficient and effective to use chemical or biological weapons it would be a green light, just so long as it was effective and efficient.
I'm concerned about the "executing" part, as in executing indigenous personnel for sport.
Im not contesting your main point but from Caligula to Odoacer you have ~300 years. On the other hand things move a lot faster nowadays.
Falluja - Remember they caught the merc's and burnt their bodies and strung them up on the bridges.
Opposition to Imperialism, only one loud and clear message will set the minds of Merc's to the right way of thinking.

"Falluja - Remember they caught the merc's and burnt their bodies and strung them up on the bridges."
You really never wish something like that with anyone captured otherwise your no better than savages.
It was really a huge mistake in going into the place.
Falluja is most hidden.
What happened there
keep secret
Why don't you tell us? If I tell you my version, you will only denigrate me, but I would like to hear your version of falluja.
These guys were caught on video many weeks back in Karkov. Bystandes noted their full American combat gear and began screaming "Blackwater" at them. Then the US Troops ran away.
If you are Russian and American Troops show up claiming to be international contractors, what is the Russian going to say "Oh, okay, in that case, carry on." NO, they are going to see armed Americans in their city, and then god help these Blackwater clowns. Remember, Blackwater has no air support, none. They are one on one on the ground. This ain't Iraq. My son-in-law a combat veteran in Iraq told me that whenever the highly paid Blackwater teams got in trouble, the US Army had to run to save them. He hates those cunts!
Yes....good post Jack...all more to make people think...
Don't you know you can buy full combat gear in any second hard army store ..?
I think Putin is going to go for it, give the unrest and perhaps a fear of disappointing people there. Not a good idea, since Ukraine is an expensive mess to fix.
I do think he'll wait after the IMF thing shakes out. If he won't get the voice in IMF to influence Ukraine, he'll do it by force.
At the same time, Chechnya was not fun and he doesn't feel very enthusiastic about another conflict, but if Ukraine becomes a failed state he will have to invade in 5 years anyway.
What a mess, it has been brewing for decades and just reached the surface of the restless sea.

How Putin is losing in Crimea: A reality check
By Michael Cohen 7 hours ago
"A funny thing happened on March 21: Russia lost a war and virtually no one noticed.
On that day, at the same time Russian President Vladimir Putin was signing a treaty finalizing the annexation of Crimea, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk was putting his own signature down: on a partnership pact between Ukraine and the European Union (EU).
It was precisely this agreement — and the refusal of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych to sign it — that led to the bloody demonstrations in Kiev that forced Yanukovych from power and spurred Russia’s seizure of Crimea.
It’s the kind of trade that looks bad for Russia on the surface — and will only look worse in the future. Russia’s political influence in Ukraine and its dreams of creating an economic union to compete with the EU lies in tatters. Rather than push the U.S. and EU away from his western border, Putin’s actions have practically invited them in by strengthening the bonds between Kiev and the West. It is yet another reminder that Putin’s decision to seize Crimea, rather than serve as a triumphant moment, is far more likely to end up a disaster..."
useless talkings...
Not useless if enough Americans actually believe that junk. The propaganda campaign leading up to the 2003 Iraq war helped get public support for an attack (not me who down arrowed you).
Isn't Cohen a Jewish name?
Re: How Putin is losing
More BS from the second string liars. Putin had to reclaim Crimea lest Sevastopol fell into American hands. Without Sevastopol, Russia loses it only warm water port in Europe, and makes it far harder to resupply Syria. Moreover, there are tens of billions in Crimean offshore oil and gas reserves now denied to Ukraine. The State Department is crying the horseshit blues because the big fish got away.
actually the Russian ports of Murmansk and Kalingrad are ice free
I hope they kidnap some of these mercenaries and put videos of them being interviewed on Youtube. These people would change sides at the drop of a hat. To get to spend your fat earnings as a mercenary, you must not get hurt of killed.
Macchiaveli - axiliaries and mercenaries
I repeat, then, that of all kinds of troops, auxiliaries are the most dangerous; for the prince or republic that calls them to their assistance has no control or authority whatever over them, as that remains entirely with him who sends them.
Then it's open season on Russians.
it often start out that way.....
then not so much
Even if they were mercenaries (which I highly doubt) at least they are wearing insignias, as opposed to the coward Russian thugs on Crimea who didn't dare show their colors ...
Check your brain at the door?
Treadstone - Greystone = you really can't make this shit up... These idiots aren't even close to original anymore.
All these "superpowers" are full of it.
Maybe Putin can tell us how many Russian mercenaries have fought /are fighting in Syria to keep Assad afloat. I would wager they number in the thousands.
Duck duck go "latakia" bitchez.
Erik Prince is anything but stupid. He has set up outside of the US to avoid paying as much tax as possible. He is in a very nice tax-free haven with an offshore company with no funds to repatriate. Totally legal and routine.
As for his activities in Ukraine: Here's how it will probably go. They will hire "Local Nationals" from Ukraine or at the very basic (Serbs, Kosovo, etc.). They will pay them about 20-30% of what a corn fed PS guy goes for (rates have come down since the wind up in Iraq and Afghan...so figure $3-5K a day for a Local National....bloody fortune in Ukraine!)
They will bring in some Russian speaking Western managers to do the brain work. These guys will be tucked away nice and safe...it will be a very good job for them. Only a handful of these guys. Most likely on business visas and they will rotate in and out every 20-30 days. They will drive in - no airports.
In a Russian speaking country the Russians won't be able to find US contractors? LOL. Those guys are toast.
Nice marketing talk on what essentially are psychopathic killers. These mercanaries can perform operations that the government forces cannot do. The government can then also take their hands off them if something goes wrong. Or they can be sacrificed for a greater goal. The US and EU people are not motivated to have a conflict with Russia over Ukraine but suppose a few mercanaries get killed and it is presented as 'US aid workers massacered by Russians' and the MSM repeats it again and again (shouting 'atrocity, atrocity') perhaps people will start to believe it. People who visit ZH will not fall for that crap but the average sheep perhaps will.
This stuff is Yugoslavia 2.0
Putin is 2-3 moves ahead. Now let the party begin, watch how the Anglo/American fascist pigs rape, pillage and destroy Ukraine. The Eastern nations will then see in full view the true intent of these thugs in DC/EU.
All in the guise of freedom/democracy (well done Walter Lippmann - brain wash extraordinaire)
Oh yea, where is the 33 tons of gold that is suppose to be Ukraine's property? Oh.....the blackwater guys air lifted it in the middle of the night to the US Fed for safe keep. Yea right, thats the last time you'll ever see your shinny metal. Its probably rehypothed (raped) x 100 times already.
CIA managed US Mercenaries
There, fixed it.
Apple's new product:
The iKraine.
So, Russia has escalated things via their Facebook page?
I say we take decisive action and un-friend them.
Mercenaries, the Reality.
Coming to cities and backwaters near you.
I don't think these mercenaries ever encountered Russian Alpha Group (Vympel) on the field before...this is NOT a turkey shoot like in Baghdad or Faluja, and if you don't believe me just ask the Chechan boss that just got wacked. If Russians say they are there, I bet you they have folks on the ground tracking each and everyone of those (mostly) ex-Marine (now) mercenaries....They should also remember that they are playing in Russian playground, and history says Russians are darn good snipers too....Let's see how good they are, cause this won't drag like this forever you know.
Russia has some very good special forces.
But why does everyone seem to want the US and Russia to fight?
Reading what people say here, you would think people are talking about a football game! This is insane!
When the mentality of your opponent is like an American football team coach (charge, charge), you better show up or you'll be bullied. The world is watching, I remind you.
If these alleged "pro-Russian protesters" were paid by anyone, it's likely that anyone was the goold old USA itself.
Will the Mercenaries care if they kill Russians, Serbians or Americans? As long as they make the big money.
Their ideal hitmen for the banksters.
A major false flag against #Ukraine, blamed on #Russia and publicly hailed as an attack by Russia against Ukraine for #Obama to use as an excuse for #US #Military intervention, which undoubtedly would lead to World War III.

Hello
We are #Anonymous #Ukraine
We have hacked e-mail correspondence of US Army Attache Assistant in #Kiev Jason Gresh and a high ranking official from Ukrainian General Staff Igor Protsyk.
It appears that they are planning to conduct a series of attacks on #Ukrainian #military bases in order to destabilize the situation in Ukraine.
Particularly, Jason Gresh writes to Igor Protsyk that it's time to implement a plan that implies "causing problems to the transport hubs in the south-east of Ukraine in order to frame-up the neighbor. It will create favorable conditions for Pentagon to act", says Jason Gresh.

Finally getting some realistic views on Ukraine situation this morning.
Merkel does not believe in further effectiveness of sanctions
Two WSJ articles ---"-Putin's Moment" by Bret Stephens and editorial opinion article.
Typically, however, NYT calls for tougher sanctions.
The Kiev Coup effort will go down as another failed experiment revealing disasterous US foriegn policy formulation, declining role of Executive Branch of government due to narrow vested interests and campaign fund raising priorities.
Another story appeared pointing out USMilitary opposes miltary action in Syria which is favored by Sec. Of State Kerry.
Bottom line is Obama is a weak President or is playing the Neocon game knowing it will not work but trying to maintain Neocon favor. Sorry Obama, you can't have your bagel and eat it too !
Greystone employs "best practices"..... 1 shot 1 kill just like Craft International... despite what your momma told you ..... Violence does solve problems....
Maybe there are 150 Greystone people there. Maybe there arent. Russian channel One was earlier reporting how Chechens were running training camps in the Western Ukraine. This was sold as though the US were responsible.
This is plainly stupid. Chechens hate Russia because of the US? Russia made her own problems iwth Chechens and vice versa.
US is directing Chechen terrorist training camps in Ukraine? This is ridiculous. These Islamist Chechens hate the US almost as much as they hate Russia, and are frequently killed with Taliban in Afghanistan.
Excuse me, but 150 people in a nation of 60 million doesn't mean anything! They could be there for personal protection of politicians - not suprising given the number of defections. They could be there to teach the Ukrainian Army. They could be there to protect the Airport. That is what they do after all. And given how The Russian Army first seized the Crimean Airport, it would not be at all suprising for Ukraine to hire muscle. This means nothing.
In short, Russian news is consistently presenting an "East vs West" bipolar world that has not existed since 1991. Almost every story about Ukraine ASSUMES that no one in the world would act without US permission. They even say the the US has conspired to make Russia weak (probably true, this is just what governments do). They say that the West has always wanted to invade Russia, split it in pieces, and extract the natural resources.
Excuse me? Everyone wants central Asia???? NO ONE WANTS CENTRAL ASIA! NOT EVEN THOSE WHO LIVE THERE!!!
There are over 100K troops in Afghanistan, just a short step away from Russia and have been for a long time. If anyone wanted to use them to attack Russia they would have done so when Russia was weakest soon after Russia's 1998 default.
That whole bipolar world fantasy is plainly stupid. That wold exists only in the minds of pensioners who never lefft the Cold War. The Russian-US bipolar world is long gone.
Reality is a multi-polar world. Imagining it to be bipolar will result in disaster.
Reality is number of middle eastern nations to include Saudi Arabia are CLEARLY leaving US and or Russian orbit respectively and pursuing their own interests.
The EU CLEARLY has ambitions to be a world player, and CLEARLY wants to be an alternative to the US orbit, whether or not it wants to be strictly speaking unfriendly to the US.
Asia is also also another pole in the multipolar world, arguably the strongest. Some, like South Korea and Japan are still in US orbit. Most are in China's orbit or uncommitted.
WHO DOES INSTABILITY IN UKRAINE SERVE?
IT SERVES ALTERNATE PROVIDERS OF ENERGY. IT SERVES EUROPE IN THAT THEY CAN THEN HAVE MULTIPLE SUPPLIERS.
WHO DOES INSTABILITY IN UKRAINE NOT SERVE?
IT MAKES THE US LOOK WEAK. IT MAKES RUSSIA LOOK LIKE INVADERS.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? MY MONEY SAYS THOSE RESPONSIBLE ARE THOSE WITH SOMETHING TO GAIN.
Few people realize that in Iraq there were more "civilian contractors" than there were us military... including Blackwater performing various duties like bodyguard, sniper,
Where did all these Putin trolls on Zereo Hedge come from? Geez! They should spend their time cleaning up Russia first.
Need to clean up our game first after countless wars costing trillions, a debt ridden economy, income disparity, widespread corruption etc. We are on path to destabilizing world order for what reason ? While Russia not better, they are not marauding the world as we are and do not present any threat to our survival.
Wouldn't it be funny if Russia captured some of these mercs and water boarded them into admiting all sorts of interesting details and then released the video everywhere?
Absence of evidence of US involvement in Ukraine is not evidence of absence. But then, there's not a total absence of evidence, either. I wonder how much of the $5 billion we spent on Ukraine went directly to Greystone or Xe.
