"Pro-Russian Separatists" Attack Ukraine Soldiers With Guns, Molotov Cocktails, Local TV Station Reports (4 Killed, 12 Injured)
UPDATE: ABOUT 500 SEPARATISTS ATTACKED UKRAINE MILITARY BASE: TV5
Four people have reportedly been injured by gunfire in a confrontation between anti-Maidan protesters and soldiers stationed at an Interior Ministry base in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol.
A group of several dozen protesters arrived at the base, located in the turbulent Donetsk region, on Wednesday evening.
They called on the troops to abandon the base, but the soldiers didn't listen, the demonstrators said.
Instead, the troops opened fire at the protesters, injuring at least four people. One of them took a bullet in his chest and is in serious condition, according to protesters.
Some local media claimed the protesters were armed with Molotov cocktails, which they used in the confrontation, but no evidence of this was immediately available.
Unconfirmed reports put the number of casualties higher, with four people killed and as many as 12 injured. Protester chatter blames unidentified provocateurs for triggering the shooting.
Local residents report military jets flying over the city.
Having been on the receiving end of Ukraine special forces for the past 48 hours, it appears the "pro-Russian separatists" have decided to fight back.

Considering the source is a local Ukraine TV station, one should take the news reported by Bloomberg, with a big grain of ketamine, however also considering the 3:30pm ramp appears to be late today (or was front run repeatdly earlier on in the day), this may just be the "bullish" catalyst the "market" needs to close at the day, if not all time, highs.
More as we see it.

Don't hurt the crisis actors.
Simply substitute the phrase "Pro-Russian Separatists" with "Pissed-off Anti-Fascist/Anti-Nazi Ukrainians" and this story takes on an entirely different meaning...
If you watch the Vice News doc "Russian Roulette" it seems clear to me that these separatists are not pro-Russian. That is just propaganda. The separatists would be much more accurately described as pro-Federation (Ukrainian Federation that is). They don't want to be ruled over by Kiev or the EU.
Kiev neo-nazi muppets should seriously consider this:

do these CIA-hired actors need a SAG card for that job?
Until they've been nominated for an Oscar, I doubt they can afford the dues.

Anyone here able to translate? I know some of it is about them taking an oath. I can easily imagine a similar conversation happening here in the USA soon.
Upon hearing of the alleged provocation by separatists, President Hollande surrendered France and immediately ordered all French schools to begin Russian as a second language classes.
The man with a megaphone nicely encourages garrison to surrender and leave peacefully.
PS. If it is the video of the "attack" then unless something else horrible happened lately the Ukrainian and Bloomberg reports about killed and wounded are totally false.

...and the deer.
Lol, okay score one for the dead bankers.
And, uh, the deer.
The scale is still tilted deeply to the MSM/Politician/Broker "rainbows and skittle shitting unicorns" side - so quit complaining.
Revolutions are occuring, there is $17 Trillion in debt, the Constitution is being raped, labor participation rate at 30 yr. lows, and S&P true valuation = 666.
I was talking to some young men today in our loading yard, passing the time of day. Ukrain, Putin,Obama, the EU cropped up. These young manual, workers, Englishmen from their bad teeth to sarcastic humour were clearly not even a tiny bit taken in by the relentless anti Russia media spin. Their distain for Obama was hillarious and their regard for Putin simple 'he never looks stressed or uncertain' The MSM gets easier to see through every day.
Whoa, hold on. Back up.
What is this "MSM" I see repeatedly mentioned? Is it a television show?
(I don't watch TV, fwiw)
Main Stream Media.
Soon to be completely controlled by 5 large corporations.
Welcome to the neighborhood Flux. Grab a seat on the front porch and get to know some of the folks around here.
There are many positive and enlightening things here on ZH. It all depends on ones perspective and how far down the rabbit hole you have fallen.
Exactly. There are two hugely positive things that come to mind about ZH.
1. We didn't buy into bitcoin en masse (a few sheep get lost from every flock).
2. We aren't France, which is nice.
Hey Flux its not ZH fault, just look at the morons running Terror Inc in DC and the Pentagon and CIA, if they would stop destabilizing and invading places, especially Nevada, we could have some good news for a change. But they gotta keep the Murder index up high so they can have their orgasms in the office bathroom before they leave work and take their kids to soccer practice after seeing some little kids and their family blown up in drone league CIA
Right, okay Tengri, see...
I'm not entirely convinced that its any worse than its ever been. Pick a moment in time and place, and a Zero Hedge community was there.
Or one just like it.
Our moment isn't that special, and we're not here for long. How do you wish to spend it?
Thanks Alaric,
I have to warn you, though ... I'm somewhat suspicious of group think.
My father was a prospector, he lived in the hills. Had all sorts of sluice boxes and claims. Gold panning champion of some year I forgot. Anyway ...
He had a cool group of guys that he hung with. They all lived off the grid.
They were also paranoid as fuck. My father died paranoid as fuck, yet the world kept rumbling on.
Full disclosure. Today my stocks did very well.
I guess that just depends on your version of "doom, gloom, and/or recession Porn".
According to the MSM STEALING , KILLING , LYING are ALL great attributes as long as they come from STATE actors.
Listening to a piece on NPR about the history of terrorism. They started by defining terrorism. Terrorist actions taken by the STATE are NOT TERRORISM !!! ? WTF !! Tell it to millions of dead people accross the planet who were killed with weapons manufactured by if not deployed and delivered by the good 'ol US of A.
I was just reading last night that we just gave TOW fucking MISSILES to the "rebels" in Syria ! WTF !!! Are we going to give TOW missiles to the "rebels" in Ukraine. And are we talking about the rebels in the East or the rebels in the West ? And which are the good rebels and which are the bad rebels ????
Pull you head out of your ASS FLUX ! You are LIVING in DOOM PORN world like it or not. All you get to do is exercise your free will and decide if you are going to be a part of the problem or a part of the solution.
But what the fuck do I know , I wash rocks for a living.
Walk on , it don't mean nothing , walk on !!!
TOW missiles are ancient, outdated, and damn near useless crap. If they gave them away, it was not a favor.
Now...if they give Javelins or some newer stuff away, then maybe the want the recipients to win rather than die in the attempt.
Washing rocks is kinda cool. And war is just business. That's understood be everyone now, isn't it?
But what is this "MSM" people keep referring to?
NPR?
New rules, no more acronyms!
Main Stream Media , National Public Radio.
Kindest regards FLUX
Welcome to the party !!!
Thanks Northy!
(I suppose I should have figured that one out for myself, lol)
Flux asked:
Yes.
In anticipation of your next question, as a simple courtesy I've gone ahead and answered it as well:
among other things, various forms of doom, gloom, and/or recession porn which include pictures of the Titté Brothers.
Hah!
Who are the Titte brothers? And, more importantly ...
How did you get that little accent grave on the e?

...Putin must be jizzin in his pants...
Putin should be rolling the tanks and putting down this neo-Nazi putsch and sending a big "Fuck You" to the E.U. and the U.S.
Yeah, this should bump the S&P to a new all time high...
Chaos = Bullish
What a fuckin world we're living in.
Well I'm still pissed at my econ prof for marking me incorrect when I stated that increasing the money supply causes gold prices to drop.
BS, if "attacking with guns", you wouldn't waste the alcohol on molotov cocktails.
Dumbasses...
Breaking.
Ukranian forces forcing Pro Russian Separatists to run with scissors.
LoP
Want to run a little sweepstake on how long the Kiev Govt, has left before the Uke
army turns on them ?
I'm thinking a week at the present rate.
Want to bet that when that happens Obama, Kerry, and all the rest will declare this an illegal military insurrection provoked by the dark forces of Putanism and use this as a reason for intervening with NATO troops?
Fighting Russian troops on territory that has been Russian since the 16th century will not be a picnic. Bombing innocent Serbs in Kosovo will have been much more fun.
Sure, good luck finding NATO troops willing to participate.
They will do it with drones, yatz will be at the joystick with his Uzi firing off celebratory shots in the air every time some poor uke familly gets blown up in their LADA by his squadron of Elbit Hermes 450 armed drones
Do Little McCain has volunteered to do the first Moscow bombing run. Just trying to find a cowboy hat to fit his fat head.
McCain had better get a cowboy hat with a chin strap, because his tiny little tyrannosaurid arms can't reach high enough to hold it on.
I've heard that Kerry has asked Ms. Heinz if he can have his penis and nutsack back in case he needs to use them. Apparently she said no
Ozero, Valerie, Victoria, Brennan, McCain et al, not-so-cleverly provoking Putin into entering Ukraine to protect the Russians from the EU-U.S. paid provocateur created violence, will end up having caught a Bear in their flimsy rat trap.
Our atrocious leaders are going to get the war they and their bankers have wanted, along with the booby prize for being the least careful about that for which they have wished.
Depends on how many TV cameras are in the area. Fire is far more visual than bullets.
Also depends on how the CIA mercanaries feel about who should be in power.
When push comes to shove, those Blackwater mercenaries will cut and run. Playing hard ass against women and children in Iraq is one thing, a bunch of pissed off Russians with traditional Soviet liquidation ideas in the back of their minds is another.
Good. I hope they get caught and the Russians remove their manhood.
Fuck the black/greywater what-ever guys, but thats a little strong man.. Don't know about you but i'd rather be shot in the head or strung up. Wouldn't do what you suggest to my worst enemy. Best thing that could happen would be for them to be caught and paraded around on camera for everyone to see.
in german news: no fight just a deserting army.
So, these must be Ukrainian soldiers who didn't tear off their insignia and hoist Russian flags before they got too close to the locals?
As crazy as this shit gets- waiting for the other shoe to drop- I try to remind myself that these are the good old days.
In the coming times the calendar will be reset and A.D. will be redefined to mean "After Dollar".
And the colored girls go "Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."
love that 'after dollar' it's funny because its true.
Now one can see why its so impt to have cushion space, the USA has two oceans on either side, very hard for someone to invade or destabilize, now look at Russia and how close these events are to its doors and govts actively trying to destabilize it with nothing stopping invading armies from rolling in as they have for thousands of years. Can you blame the Russians for wanting some breathing space from the NATO wackjobs.
Not working to well on Mexicans and Cannucks.
I can't for the life of me figure out how this ends well. Pressure will just continue to increase now that the CIA has instructed Yatsies Ratsies (plus some Nazis) to take to the offensive.
Anyway... at least the 10,000 new F-35 orders will help along the Obama wreckovery...
It won't end well. When people live in the past, they cannot see beyond the mental prison of their own ignorance. Goes for all sides involved.
Would the CIA intentionally incite the Ukrainian fascists to provoke the Russians just to start another expensive Cold War?
(Obama has already dismissed the idea of sending weapons which would leave them in the same position as the Kurds and Shiites after Bush I encouraged them to rise up against Saddam after Gulf War I.)
Supply weapons to Hispanics in the US and build Chinese-Russian airbases in Venezuela and Brazil
What Obama "says" means nothing. The MIC types want to play with their toys, so they are going to play. The only difference is which uniforms they wear. Today Ukraine, tomorrow Russian and every other Thursday it's NATO.
They would do it to show the NATO nations in the EU - who are RIGHT NOW considering creating and EU army - that they don't need and EU Army
Russia's choice is to deal with the American face on it now or a different, and unknown, face later - and maybe both!
The EU too, knows never to let a crisis go to waste.
General BREEDLOVE: "President Putin, may I introduce Hans. Hans is the first supreme commander of the combined EU Army. Now that NATO has dissolved over that Eastern Europe, Ukraine thing, you will be dealing with Hans. I am being reassigned home to retire."
"Hans, this is President Putin. He thinks he can tell you where wehen and from whom you can buy energy, if he feels like selling you any energy today."
"I know you will be the best of friends in no time!"
But only a third are assembled. The rest is spare parts inventory.
Ahhh yes, dress the local NAZI (NATO) brown shirts in Russian uniforms with convenient placement of media and...voila ' the Russians are attacking, NATO must respond!
Not to mention, only days after the head of CIA visits.
How believable!
Sarc is so off now. After the comment.
I don;t think operation "Fall Weiss II" would work. Anyway, this is not the sort of escalation you want, unless the US wants the Russian army in Berlin by next week.
That Jackass regime mouthpiece in the Guardian today just wants some Western chest beating to go with all the Judo, Tiger-riding, Whale-surfing Eastern chest beating going on.
Pay no attention to that idiot. The only part he is right about is how Europe handled such things before WWII.
But we already knew that. It is ancient history.
I prefer my Molotov's shaken, not stirred...
I think the pro-Ukrainian troops should have to wear Hillary Magoo glasses so we can tell them apart
Hillary Clinton: With all due respect, the fact is we had Pro-Russian Separatists. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided that they’d they go kill some Ukrainians? What difference at this point does it make?

Kinda hard to run a proxy-war without appropriate propaganda organs, no?
Simple rule: Whoever/whatever the government tells you to hate, vilify, ignore, spread nasty rumours about and/or to avoid at all costs should at least be thoroughly researched, studied and explored for the real reasons as to why they are being bad-rapped. More and more people are feeling honored, among other things, that they are on the U.S. Government's hit list. Most people on the list, most likely have absolutely no idea why they're there. Guess they must be doing something right.
Exactly,
And that applies even if your government is NOT THE US GOVERNMENT.
isnt it more simple to check if the teller is a zio or not?
Do not believe anything Kiev regime news outlets report unless confirmed by other sources.
As credible as Nazi news sources on September 1, 1939 when Poland "attacked" Germany.
Kiev says they have recorded phone calls of Kremlin orders to the pro-Russian 'terrorists'.
Unreleased though, of course.
Anyone keeping a tally as to what the US taxpayers are being soaked for for all these operations?
$5 billion with absolutely no receipts so far and the meter is still running...

I think it's rather kind of Kiev to pay the gas and transport expenses for the troops to get to their new and better homeland.
Yats had better cut his losses and settle for a Ukrainian Federation before the window to that option closes or the IMF will be left holding big bags of caca...
Yats the zio-yid has nothing to lose to instigate a civil war.
Like they have a chance against an SU-27.
That's it? That's all you got?
That's all I've got. Do the pro-Russian forces have one of those nifty new hand-held surface to air missiles that took out that chopper in Syria?
You would be amazed what can fit inside one of those LADAS

I am sure a stinger type missile is not hard to bring in the country, if there are not some already out there given by the Uke military boys that turned sides
SA-14s and SA-18s are better.
"The United States government is preparing to send non-lethal aid to Ukraine, the Associated Press reported on Wednesday, just one day after the interim government there launched an operation against armed pro-Russian protesters.
White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters during a scheduled briefing in Washington, DC midday Wednesday that the Obama administration is “obviously evaluating requests and looking at ways that we can support the Ukrainian government.” Soon after that same afternoon, the AP reported that the US is indeed in the midst of preparing to provide assistance, according to anonymous sources who confirmed the existence of plans to the newswire but were not yet authorized to discuss the matter publically. " in RT
Not that it bears repeating on why Chevron, the DoS with the tacit approval of the Legislative, Judicial and Executive are so intimately involved in ensuring Ukraine success in organically nurturing it's newly installed Fascist junta...
Guess we can all rest comfortably that the domestic shale oil production the U.S. will be providing to both Western Europe and U.S. demands will more than satisfy our needs guaranteeing oil independence for many, many, many years to come!...
We're just next door to Russia' to ensure that freedom reigns down upon the Ukrainian masses!!!! Got nothin to do with oil...
http://rt.com/business/oil-field-astrakhan-discovery-948/That is one of the stupidest and most unrealistic arguments I have ever heard.
What next will you claim? That the US is doing it to harvest sunshine and unicorn dust?
The US is involved for a simple reason - to keep engaged with Europe. The whole post WWII order is based on the US having the military might INSTEAD of the european nations. This was done specifically to put a halt to the CONSTANT EUROPEAN WARS OF THE PREVIOUS TWO HUNDRED (OR MORE) YEARS.
The EU must have energy, will not accept Russia as sole energy provider, and have long, long resented the US's role in the post-war order.
So, lets think a little bit about how any European regime before that post-WWII-order would handle the current crisis given modern technology.
Have you thought about that yet?
I do not condone the US's actions. I think the US should never have stopped being isolationist. But before you cast stones on the basis of how this plays out in Europe right now, you should consider the alternatives.
Do I need to remind you that there's really no doubt how Europe reacted to such things before WWII? Do you think they'd be having a media war? Do you think they would only use advisors and indirect assistance to the Ukraine? Or do you think they would find something Russia wanted and needed, take it, and then wait for the Russian forces to leave Ukaine to get it back?
There's zero doubt what the pre-WWII Europe would have done. It is in the history books. They DID do it - repeatedly.
Putin has said the US can stop this any time it wants... But what is it that the US could stop? Stop Europe from wanting energy? Stop Europe from trying to get it? Stop the EU from resenting the US hegemony?
Are you serious? How? Using LSD and folk-singing?
The only choice anyone has in this is who will lead the dance, and the tactics that that lead will be willing to employ.
What's your preference? Do you like the post WWII order better or the pre-WWII order better?
Tick. Tock. The Dollar is almost done. When it is, you'll get that old pre-WWII order back. ENJOY!
So, can we stop the chest beating and triumphalism? Governments suck. Imagining that they don't is willful blindness.
Dude the Dollar has been killing people by the millions, its now the currency of the Dark Side
The U.S. is doing it for altruistic reasons ? WTF ! It's a diversion to keep the locals from noticing they are being fleeced.
Ukraine was part of greater Poland or greater Russia for almost all of its existence. And it is Germany in WWI and WWII that decided to run through the Ukraine to capture territory and resources.
i am so afraid that would let USA to kill some more millions innocent people around the World and the 1% to take away the future of our children. If they, US, are so altruistic why didnt they stop the banksters from robbibg us?
gcj
Sorry. forgot my /sarc at the close!

A "pro-Ukrainian" talking about Ukraine.
http://rt.com/news/eu-no-russian-interference-ukraine-844/
If this most recent attack in Mariupol is like the police station attack a couple of days ago, what we are seeing is anarchy. There does not appear to be anyone in charge on either side of this dispute. The Gorlovka attack looks to have a large number of pissed off citizens mad at their organs of government.
Pictures of the April 14th attack of a police station in Gorlovka, Ukraine.
http://englishrussia.com/2014/04/14/a-police-station-stormed-in-gorlovka-ukraine/#more-145342
It looks like the Ukrainian citizens are fighting to draw bids from aid agencies. They look like they want to sell their country to the highest bidder.
That has pretty much described Ukraine for the last 100 years.
When you are walked on, ruled by outsiders, for centuries it leaves a mark.
I feel sorry for the Ukrainians.
And while Putin's propaganda organs have been working overtime, I do not trust Putin. I do not trust the gangsters in his government any more than I trust the banksters in the EU or the US governments.
This keeps happening, world war after world war, because people cannot define 'Right' in any way except as 'MIGHT'. So...the strong get what they want. The rest become slaves.
Maybe a nuclear war wouldnt' be such a bad thing. Emerging from the Ash there would be a lot of unclaimed wilderness to flee to in order to be left alone.
I feel sorry for the Ukrainians.
Ditto on that score.
And fuck the U.S.A. for creating the mayhem.
I dont feel sorry for them not one bit. They should have stuck with Russia in 91'. What were they thinking? Ukrainian is to Russian as Irish is to English. Ukrainians do not have an ethnic identity that much different that Russians, they are all descended from the same people.
One word - er - acronym:
I.R.A.
I would say its not Irish and English analogy but more like two families in Italy with balconies connected by laundry out to dry.
If you use the Italian analogy, it's the Mafia running a town and a smart, meek shopkeeper wanting the Mafia out of his family's pocket.
You've been watching Channel 1 too much.
You mean like the USA made Chechens hate Russians? All that hatered for Russia exists only because the US wants to carve Russia up? So how long have you been on drugs?
Or do you mean that Western Ukrainians really, really loved Russians before those assholes Kerry and McCain visited? They were just kidding since the end of the Kievan Rus? Right? Only Washington made the trouble?
GARBAGE! I can't believe you believed that junk. He'd have been better off saying that the US discovered a time machine and had been travelling back in time to stir up hate against Russia over the centuries.
Yes, yes, I know. Putin talks to God, walks on water, and farts Channel number five.
Sorry that I can't contain my disdain for these views. What garbage!
Putin is a politician like any other. And like any other Politiician, when they go looking for trouble over the border they find it. And at first everything seems good.
It is what comes next that sucks. But there are none so blind as those who will not see.
Did it occur to you that the reason why OBUMMER and crew are so badly bungling their leadership of the Maidan is because they aren't leading it, but reacting to it?
Obummer is more interested in helping dismantle the US - and it shows. Obummer never knew as much about world relations as a fifth-grader, and has since forgotten even that pitiful sum!
I'll be glad to be rid of NATO. Much as I like the member countries, I don't like fighting their wars or paying their taxes for defense. NATO was worse than useless after WWII anyway.
But don't kid yourself. If Russia is dealing with the US now and wants that to end, it will get to deal with a more European face later.
And keep in mind, over 50 years of cold war, the US - to its credit- managed to stay out of war with Russia. With which previous regime from Rome to WWII can the same be said?
you're all over the place...
He's doing Rope-a-Dope and you are smiling to the crowd.
Watch the birdy...
I work with a bunch of Ukrainians, and Russians. First thing is they are very smart, highly educated, highy motivated, nationalistic and completely deluded about what reality is and will bring.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what anarchy is.
I read somewhere that the soldiers were four days without food or bathroom, either surrender (imagine after this time you get a nice hot plate of the hands of beautiful Ukrainian ...).
hehe.

Yats the zio-yid is human to his tin soldiers.
re Local TV Station Reports (4 Killed, 12 Injured)
Sounds like a Saturday night in the S. Bronx.
Obunga just does not have the smarts or the stones to play this type of game... him and his grandpa McCain are desperately looking to start another war, at the behest of their Defense Complex paymasters... but can't seem to foment anything but worldwide humiliation and scorn for their admittedly hilarious clown act... Hagel refuses to come out from under his desk... Kerry has uncontrollable nervous flatulence... and Susan Rice still maintains it is all due to an anti-Ukrainian video...
Buy ammo.
I do believe they are going to get their war.

From the article: 'Or we can mount a last-ditch attempt to deter Russia from furthering its imperial ambitions'
That part almost made me fall out of my chair laughing. Anti-Russian propaganda started in the US during the Olympics and keeps on coming. The West will easily get their war if they desire, and they desire greatly.
Yeah, the war horns were blowing before the Olympics, and the amount of propaganda has been just staggering. It seems they are definitely prepping the right sectors here. But it seems to be quite a division as many people also seem to be waking up due to the fog of pre-war.

I bet Victoria Nuland is coming unglued about now.....
ROFLMAO !!
Nuland will probably only get reprimanded for slipping up and letting everyone in on how things actually work in that accursed town. Worst case maybe dock her a week's cut--oops I meant salary. Now they have to come up with some fancy alibi about why the $5 billion was sent to feed the Kiev mobs and set up a puppet government. Of course the media will go along with anything they're ordered to report since they have even less of a grasp of history than the DC malcontents who started the whole thing.
"Ukraine, Through the US Looking Glass"
Exclusive: As the post-coup regime in Ukraine sends troops and paramilitaries to crack down on ethnic Russian protesters in the east, the U.S. news media continues to feed the American public a steady dose of anti-Russian propaganda, often wrapped in accusations of “Russian propaganda,” Robert Parry reports.
Story here: http://thenewsdoctors.com/?p=140292
Remember the US triumphalism in Iraq?
"MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" and all that?
This Russian Triumphalism is a lot like that and will turn out the same way.
The date changes, but whether the date is 80 AD or 1914, 1940, or 2014, people remain the same.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Vlad, I hear you. "Vene, vidi, vichi" and all that.
But remember, Caesar said it first, and it didn't work out so well that time, nor any of the many times after. Sometimes the way to win is not to play.
Bullshit alert!
Putin is coming! Uaaaaa!
They are really pathetic.
Likely that China and Russia announce agreement in May. Back the good old barter (exchange of simple product without U.S. $).
Russia closes the tap (oil and gas) to Europe, open to China.
No more cold war, the Europeans will be sitting in a wooden toothpick like ice cream.
Opposite approach, is a literal "fuck EU" only told by Putin.
hehe.
We, europeans, must make a class action against Vitoria Nulland for what she did to us, by sowing chao and war in Europe.
Duh....I think we all knew this was cummin....we didn't know just when...or what...but it was cum-in
Wonder if those israelis volunteers in Maidan Square helping to seize power in a coup had already gone away.
Son of Captain Nemo:
Grateful for the link. I think in IE Saker information.
:-)
Where the fuck are you Nuland? You should be out there standing in front of the fucking tanks.
The Feds probably sent her to the Bundy ranch as a consultant. That idiot is a walking talking disaster. She should have a hazardous material sign taped on.
Croats, Serbs, Bosnians, got a divorce. Albanians in Kosovo got a divorce courtesy of NATO. Czhecks and Slovaks got a divorce. But the Ukrainians love there Russian brothers so much they can't bear to be parted? No it's about what the West wants and what they'll pay.
Now it should be noted that the Iraqi Kurds wanted a divorce. Their grounds for divorce were obviously iron clad but that didn't eventuate even though the US invaded the country, ya know, to make people "free". Well that and WMDs.
So human rights and self determination aren't that important if it isn't in the interests of Imperialism 2.0.
It would be interesting if not tragic, to see Europeans unemployed migrate to northern Africa snowbirds ....
:-/
BTW, apparently it's official. The US (realisticaly the whole west) is a plutocracy not a democracy.
https://www.princeton.edu/~mgilens/Gilens%20homepage%20materials/Gilens%...
"not a democracy"
It never was. It was never intended to be. The Founders made plenty of statements on this point, so the effort to suppress their words over the years was pretty strong and rather successful. For fuck's sake the franchise (of voting) was never intended to extend beyond the propertied and moneyed classes comprised of Protestant white men.
And by republic was simply meant "not a monarchy". The "republic" in constitutional republic is simply to distinguish it from a (constitutional) monarchy, which was the default in the European tradition at that time.
