"The Liberation Of Southeast Ukraine Has Begun" - Crimean Vice Premier

Tyler Durden's picture




 

On the day in which "pro-Russian separatists" are again claiming one after another city in east Ukraine, and when Russia has formally warned that any crackdown on protesters is "unacceptable" implicitly threatening retaliation should the promised use of special forces be implemented, moments ago Rustan Temirgaliev, Deputy Chairman of the Council of Miniisters of recently annexed by Russia Crimea, poured some more fuel into the fire and announced on his Facebook page that "the liberation of Southeast Ukraine has begun."

His full statement:

 

With things rapidly escalating out of control once more, Ukraine acting president has finally decided to, well, act:

  • TURCHYNOV CALLS UKRAINE SECURITY COUNCIL MTG ON EAST CRISIS

Sadly for Kiev, as the even the Euromadian movement admits, following the seizure of regional police derpartments, Kiev no longer has a way in.

We expect NATO to promptly join in the chorus, as well as the US and Europe threatening with more severe and "costly" sanctions, even as Russia is set to expand its territory for the second time in under a month. All that is needed now is a spark, such as this one:

 

From the Facebook account of Arsen Avakov, Ukraine's acting internal minister:

 

 

The message from the public face of the force behind the Kiev uprising has a clear message for those who are now - in title at least - in charge of Ukraine: will someone finally stand up to the Kremlin?

The message was not just for the President though...

The latest news from the standoff in Nevada at the Bundy Ranch is that the BLM wants to stop “gathering” cattle and have a talk with Bundy because the situation is becoming “dangerous.”

The reason it’s dangerous is that militia groups are on the scene, more on the way and they’re saying they’re not afraid to fire.

Reminds one of the people who would stand up for their freedom in eastern Ukraine. And adding “fuel” to the fire  in the good ol’ USA is Charlie Daniels:

 “Is the Bundy Ranch situation the first test of military against citizens?”

Charlie Daniels - Devil Went Down to Georgia

The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat.
He laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet.

The last thing the Control Grid wants now is a flashpoint that might wake up some of the population.  This could have gone downhill for them fast.  They got away with Waco by using the "cult" stigma.   Ranchers are a more problematic group to demonize.

We also have to consider that Reid/Obama/Chinese didn't want any more scrutiny on their solar land grab crimes.

Yes, this is not going well.  Hard to demonize ranchers who have worked the land for generations, and within the same family.  This is not a cult, just everyday hard working Americans who have no need for the federales. The feds are fucked on this one.  It will be a 'shot in the arm' for the constitutionalists, knowing that their might will cause the goons to back off.

Last I heard was that the Feds are starting to capitulate. They are learning as we all are that people are beginning to push back. To all who think that people are sheep and will roll over and die; you are wrong. There are more of us than there are of them...BY A HUGE AMOUNT. This has been very good for the pro liberty folks.

Looks like civil war was averted this weekend for a week or so.

As others have observed (here and elsewhere), this is not over. The BLM and feds will be back later to mess with Bundy. This is not the time to be celebrating. This is a time to be preparing for the fun and games to come.

Forward (over the cliff)!

"Reminds one of the people who would stand up for their freedom in eastern Ukraine."

Who lives in Eastern Ukraine anyway?  Nazis and Russian speakers?  Anyone else?

 

But I will agree with you if in your analogy the Ukrainian people are equivalent to Bundy's cattle.   They just want to eat some grass, but are caught in the middle.

So Russia annexes the eastern provinces and that, in a way, solidifies Ukraine proper into the EU orbit and likely into NATO.   Sort of a pyrrhic Russian victory in a sense, though maintaining the ports in the Crimea was certainly vital.   This situation is far from black and white.

The Euro Maidan cunts are now up against a wall. Sure, taking Kiev with the help of NATO sniper squads was easy. Put in an IMF Banker as ruler of Ukraine without a single vote cast. The west announces a new deomocratic Kiev government. NATO prepares to move their Navies to Sevastopol and fill Crimea with missile bases. Sweet!

Did the Zionists who run the State Department and Pentagon not have any sense of the mood in Russian Ukraine and Crimea? All you need do is buy some history books and read them, it was all clear to any bloody halfwit that Russia would not surrender to NATO's biggest advance since it's founding.

From RT, they announced many cities having now gone over to Pro Russian elements. Plus, videos of Special Police Units throwing in their lot with the Pro Russian forces. Police in most cities have switched sides. Why is the west silent? Because they have knowledge of what is happening and they know they are losing. To win, NATO now must invade and fight the locals. Putin has informed NATO that that is not a bright idea.

NATO had fun in Iraq, a great game, shooting rag heads for sport. I suggest shooting Russian's for sport is not going to work quite as well for the liberation army of NATO. How many western troops want to die for West Ukraine nazi lunatic poverty stricken corrupt fuckwads? Not many I bet!

Which is why the time is ripe for Putin to create the ABF, the Anti Bolshevik Federation and unite the world against these scum. With Snowdens help, he probably has all the relevant 9/11 calls from Silverstein and all his synagogue mates. Release them and let the volcano of rightful rage erupt and scorch these fecks out to Mars where they originate from.

A very important development is that security forces are refusing orders from Kiev to shoot the pro-russian. Even police SWAT teams and elite anti-terror units are refusing to attack. Police chiefs are resigning.

It could be just that they are shiting their pants at the prospect of Spetznaz coming to collect the bill if there is a massacre. But in any case, their behaviour shows more humanity than I would expect from America's SWAT, FBI and Homeland Security.

The CIA used to be good at this sort of thing too. A lot of the US foreign agenda was handled efficiently and often out of the headlines. Now we have gotten rid of most of our good field spooks, and hamstung the rest with humanitarian torture rules and eliminating wet ops. The rest of the world does not play by those rules. Our SEALS, Rangers, etc are still the best, but the US has very little ability to bend the will of the populace or influence leaders on the side that we want to win. We need to re-learn this by watching Rusia at work.

Kiev brings the hammer down, Russia invades and this whole thing looks like it's about to go sideways in a hurry.

the only question now is what kind of assurances did Kiev receive from Washington and NATO to make such a bold move when just yesterday they seemed ready to surrender most of the east to the pro Russian contingent?

Nice post! Yes, things could spiral into a very serious situation. We might ask, WHY does NATO and America want a few cities full of Russians in East Ukraine? What for, why do they want people who do NOT want them? The State department stepped on their cranks when they tried a 5 billion dollar coup in Kiev, as IF the whole country would just roll over and play dead for US Corporations, the IMF, the World Bank and NATO! Too many zionists in the Washington Whore House with too few fucking brains. We know who they are, but we can do nothing to rid ourselves of these anti American scum that fills Washington DC. NATO would now have to invade Ukraine with troops and roll east, as Ukraine hasn't got what it takes to conquer and subdue Russian Ukraine.

I agree though, if handled wrongly, this could go south fast and threaten things none of us need or want. All so the Nuland whore could play her zionist world master plan in Ukraine. Where is that cunt anyways?

Out there in Nevada where the standoff with the BLM became an untenable potentially deadly situation, the federales were in the crosshairs and were very uncomfortable if they were required to report for work duty when the bullets could come flying at them.  Especially on a Saturday when they could be home grilling steaks and not bleeding to death.  Just is not in the job description and any thought of it happening would weigh heavy on their troubled minds.

Wise move, weedhoppers.

I never used to pay attention to hockey.  Always thought it was a sport that the world could do without.  

It all changed when I began to attend hockey games and found out it is a tremendous game full of action and excitement.  Before that, I thought all they did was hit the puck for fun and maybe make an attempt to score a goal if they were close enough to the net.  Didn't know I was so ignorant about the sport of hockey.

It is a great game to watch and didn't know how wrong I was about a winter sport.  Canada did the world a favor when they invented the game of hockey.  Or, was it the Russians, since they are real enthusiastic about the sport themselves?

My Grandfather and Grandmother were born near Odessa.  They immigrated to the US in 1902/3.

Bundy needs to get his cattle off. Ranchers need to quit using public land for grazing. Yeah, yeah, I don't care about higher beef prices or what you used to be able to do. Fucking cattle fuck everything up. My tax dollars ( as IF! ha-ha) should not subsidize ranchers.

It has been a rough weekend for the oligarchs, they moving their balls back home.

53 ranchers living in the area, all paying grazing fees.  52 are bankrupted by the BLM.  They are forced to buy the shovel to dig their own graves and pay the BLM to bankrupt them.  

What rancher in his right mind pay grazing fees is going to bankrupt himself?  The US gov owes him money now, they fucked it up.  Killing him was not an option.

Gordon Kahl killed a US Marshal, after the marshal fired point blank at Gordon Kahl's son, Yori, thinking it was Gordon.  Gordon Kahl killed the US Marshal immediately after the marshal fired at his son.  It was a bad day for the US Marshal.  Court testimony confirmed that the US Marshal fired first.  He got exactly what he had coming to him, sad to say.  Shit happens.

Looks like a surreptitious extirpation of ranchers that are just not needed anymore by the money masters.

Just another shithead rancher that doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground and we need to get rid of his sorry ass, pronto.

Its Western Communist bankers (ours) versus Russian ex-Communust bankers.

The western bankers seek to use the Socialist EU mob to purchase all Ukraine assets not yet owned by those Western bank creditors, and dump billions in fiat debt on the Ukraine public.

Basically the EU didn't get the  "Socialism blows we're not doing it anymore" memo, and they need those relatively debt free Ukraine assets to keep their ponzi going.

TPTB banks don't buy state bonds without collateral.

What collateral?

Anything of value that they* don't already own, if you have nothing to pledge, they'll take your state with an immigrant invasion.

The Ukraine could easily stop this.  They should simply announce that after the '94 treaty with Russia that Russia did not follow the treaty.  Ukraine should then admit they also lied and held back a number of SS-24 as insurance.   If I were Russia I'd not take the chance they were bluffing.

The USA signed a treaty with Ukraine in 1994  pledging to protect the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

Time to call the Putin bluff.  The USA can clean the Russian's clock on land and sea.  And we can invite the Chinese to talks with Russia on regions to the east that are in dispute to this day.  

Russia has MUCH to lose here as they have a little Napoleon type mini-Mensch running their f'ing country.

I think you're missing the whole point here.

If the districts in Eastern Ukraine set up a referendum vote to live under the Russian flag and they chose to do so, they are well within their rights to succeed from a constitutionally illegal govt put in place by a coup.

Putin doesn't have to do a damn thing except tell them they're free to fly the Russian flag anywhere they choose to.

Are you going to be the one to tell them that they're not entitled to have a democratic vote? Obama? NATO? EU?

Shoot them down in the streets because they don't want to live under Neo Nazi rule?

Nobody trust the US anymore. Nobody. In my opinion there is not one souvereign nation left on this earth not be cheated and damaged by the US. The US power lie-politics is at its end. Whatever the US promises on their holiest oath, the next day it may worth nothing.

In the secret Laos war the US bombed in the end the whole country to hell.  Including the tribes which had fought for many years for the Americans against the Chinese and Vietnamese. These tribes were exhausted, at the end they gave up because the US expected, that they are going to send even boys of age 13 to fight. When the tribes didn't do it because it would have meant the extinction of the tribes , then they saw the true face of the US. The years of common combat  did not count at all. The US said simply to hell with them they are useless now. Better they die all so that the secrets die with them.  And thats why the US does not have friends and nobody trusts the US.

First of all we need to realize that Zero Hedge is a deeply compromised website that is run by person/persons unknown. It was once thought to be the enterprise of a junior Wall St trader who lost his license for attempting to make picayune profits from insider trading. Rumored to be of Bulgarian nationality. I discounted this when this website first began because it was witty and informative. I no longer do. The site is infected both technically and politically and I believe it to be under the influence or control of a foreign power.

Now that David Stockman has an alternative site for libertarian, if slightly deranged foreign policy views, I will request that Zero Hedge put its cards on the table.
