Slavyansk Clashes Kill 20 Rebels, Injure Dozens Of Civilians; White House "Extremely Concerned" Unrest Is Spreading
Ongoing military operations in Slavyansk have left at least 20 rebels dead and dozens more civilians injured according to Interfax.
- *SLOVYANSK CLASHES KILL 20 REBELS, MANY CIVILIANS WOUNDED: IFX
As RT reports, fatalities are on both sides with little progress reported one way or the other. The White House says it's "extremely concerned" by the deteriorating situation in southern Ukraine. Perhaps more important for the average American citizen, Klitschko has decided to postpone his planned wedding to Hayden Panettiere due to the conflict... now it's getting serious!!
There were fatalities among both Kiev loyalists and local militia members after government troops renewed the crackdown on the defiant eastern Ukrainian protester stronghold of Slavyansk. Over a dozen of people have been killed, including some civilians.
There was a shooting on the outskirts of Slavyansk as pro-government troops raided a protester checkpoint on Monday.
At least 10 self-defense fighters and their unarmed civilian supporters have been killed in the latest clashes, the commander of Slavyansk self-defense, Igor Strelkov, told RIA Novosti.
“We suffered losses – about 10 people, including civilians, 20-25 people were injured. I do not know the losses of our adversaries; clearly they are smaller than ours, they have armor. Most of our losses came from plainclothes [troops], disguised as civilians. We fell into their ambush near a petrol station,” Strelkov said.

As the physical and emotional stains of Odessa remain...
And, as AP reports, The White House says it's "extremely concerned" by the deteriorating situation in southern Ukraine.
The U.S. and Europe have been focused on eastern Ukraine, near Russia, where pro-Russian separatists have been occupying buildings for weeks. But the unrest has spread to Ukraine's southern port of Odessa, where Ukraine's government is seeking to re-establish control.
White House spokesman Jay Carney says the possible loss of Odessa underscores the need for an immediate de-escalation to the crisis. He's suggesting Russia still needs to follow through with its part of a diplomatic deal to de-escalate.
Riots in Odessa led to 46 deaths Friday when a government building was set on fire. Carney says Ukrainian authorities should launch a full investigation. He says the U.S. mourns with Ukrainians the heartbreaking loss of life.
And then there's this...
The unrest in the Ukraine is reaching as far as Hollywood — at least, as far as "Nashville" actress Hayden Panettiere's wedding is concerned.
"Everything that's happening in Ukraine definitely put a hold on things, but we have time," Panettiere, 24, told Parade Magazine about her upcoming nuptials to professional boxer Wladimir Klitschko.

Concerned like their concern for Libya?
Obama, the boy who plays with matches, is extremely concerned that the fire he helped create is getting out of control.
Obama is golfing. The Rockefellers are running this bitch with Soros riding shotgun. Brzezinski is in the back telling them how to drive.
Maybe it is just me, but I don't even feel that the "white house" is our house anymore. And it certainly isn't just due to Zero. That feeling was slipping away for a long time.
Every time I hear or read about some people butchered in an area that the US has a "national interest" I feel it slip further and further away.
Where has my nation gone?

The cat is out of the bag
The cat died in the bag due to a child repeadedly smacking it against the wall. It's corpse lies in Carney's limp wristed arms as he tells the media everything is fine.
The cat is abroad in Putin's lap alive an well, what died in the bag are two hamsters called, change and hope
The ethnic Russians there are experiencing a new (western) imposed reality..
Better known as “Change We Can Believe In".
It’s kind of like Obamacare but with a more overt and larger degree of violence.
They look like western mercenaries, http://youtu.be/bf0OFAfL5Q0?t=2m54s
20 Ukraine civilian deaths blamed on gutless American "patriots" who won't put an end to the horrifically corrupt govt stirring up all this shit in Ukraine and lots of other places.
It's time to put the blame where it really should go, gutless "patriots" claiming they have more than enough firepower to end the corrupt govt, they keep threatening to do it, but they don't do it. They sit on their gutless coward asses bragging about saving a few damn cows in Nevada while the human death toll in places like Ukraine keeps rising.
All future atrocities committed by this corrupt govt are going to be blamed squarely on gutless coward American "patriots".
Look man we got real problems out here. We gotta racist basketball coach out in LA.
It takes time to organize 9 million people spread across a whole continent. This isn't some tiny land like Syrai or Libya or Ukraine. Bundy was just the start.
Edit: Other than that, I don't disagree with you.
Complicity is guilt. I will admit my guilt. We are all guilty cowards.
To summarize: by the end of his second presidency Obama will leave America with several US$ trillion more debt, economy with high unemployment and no prospects of improving, more conflicts globally and severely strained relations with several major powers. Did I forget anything, oh, he will also finish building the most sophisticated surveilance system ever known to mankind to spy on his own citizens, he will in fact go beyond Bush's quite horrendous policy of destroying freedom domestically which he initialy opposed. And that if he doesn't open his mouth or makes more bold decisions, which will inadvertedly fire up a WWIII. To think this little shithead was brought on 'hope and change' theme, I'm out of words, except maybe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvhCNMz-Po4
Obummer's legacy:
WWIII will break out on his watch and 3 weeks after the start of hostilities NSA will provide conclusive evidence that the conflict is about to begin.
My guts telling me he will end his term sooner then 2016.
....and is taking a shit in the Rose Garden.
It's out of the bag and Yellen is trying to use it as a basketball.
Where's Blofeld when you need him? Or his cat?
POTUS...STFU and stay out of Ukraine. dumbass....
The Ukraine was never our ally. Leave sleeping dogs lie.
The US is run by an unelected conglomerate of corporate, financial, and "national security" interests, and it's been that way for quite a while. It used to remain strictly behind the scenes, but it's been sticking its head out from behind the curtain for the past decade or so.
Yep, they are now hiding in plain sight.
"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."
-Roger Kint
As I posted a long time ago, my grandfather died from cancer. It started in his kidneys, metastasized to his lungs, then finally to his brain. Once it got to his brain, he ceased to be the person whom I remembered and became an empty shell. I mourned his death before his body passed away, and come the day of his funeral, I wasn't really hit that hard, did not cry, etc... I had been hit hard 6 months before he died.
He is the guy who, over 70 years of age, taught me to ride a bike. He would run along behind me making sure I didn't take a tumble, and when I finally had it down, he took a tumble of his own. A nasty one too. And at over 70 years of age, he just got right back up and shook it off. He was invincible in my eyes. Until the night I realized that he was going to die, and that he was no longer the loving grandfather that I grew up with, because the cancer was fundamentally altering who he was.
The cancer battle was a long one, and it didn't happen overnight. I feel the same way about the USA as I did with my grandfather. The US is done as a country. It's an empty shell waiting to die. If you ever loved this country, you should start mourning now.
EV, I have came to the same conclusion. We are in a dying country, society and etc....
worse than that. our slave labor tax dollars are used to fund murder and mayhem around the world, and we can't stop it...
God forgive us.
It's important to identify the cancer. I offer a bit of clarity in that regard from career experience working for a clinical psychopath. Psychopaths are control freaks. The boss had to control everything, and he deliberately and systematically poisoned the work environment. Psychopaths are natural deceivers and manipulators and corruptors and destroyers. I believe firmly that the company that he destroyed could have been saved and achieved marvelous potential if only the psychopath had his power taken away. Political Ponerology
Sociopaths cannot be cured or rehabilitated (that I or modern science know of).
What they fear most is exposure.
Yes, let's turn our attention to clawIng back our republic and stop trying to reengineer whogivzadamistan.
Software does appear to be malfunctioning of late.
"Nations" are as much organic as they are a projection of reality.
All of us as humans are but vessels for a spirit world...and here the spirit world resides.
The analogy is perfect...and the cancer took the patient decades ago.
It hurts to up vote this.
That's a sad story indeed. But you wanna know what's even sadder?
That so many people around the world have the courage and persistence to rise against its oppressors, and they don't even have... GUNS.
And yet, here in the US -- ironically enough -- we got more G&A than you can shake a stick at, but no real men to use them. All I see is Shopping Therapy: Buy but don't use. All talk, no action. All hat, no cattle.

So on slow days, sometimes I sit around and think "what would it take for this fucking stock market to dump 2000 points in a session"???
I used to think the threat of massive military conflict between the east and west, involving energy interest and modernized military's, was a sure bet!!!
But nope, today the Dow is up 18 and that silly band on CNBC just plays on!! It's surreal actually, then I think, this must have been what the years of 1937-1942 in this Country felt like, but then no not really, because the stock market was being destroyed those days, and so I guess we really are living in completely new bullshit here, uncharted waters!!!
pods - "Where has my nation gone?"
Its only been forgotten for awhile, because new generations of Americans weren't taught (purposely - to fulfill an agenda)
We can remember.
"It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world" - George Washington - Farewell Address
"Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations-entangling alliances with none." - Thomas Jefferson - Inaugural Address
@pods
That goes for about every nation on this planet.
No foreign entanglements! - get the hell out of other peoples business!
@pods There are many here who feel the same way. It is still our nation, but it looks like we'll have to do some house cleaning. And house cleaning is hard, dirty work.
I said the same to my kid this morning (just home from college). "If this shit went down when I was 19 there would be protests, especially from people your age." What was once youthful energy is now compliance. Human life is losing it's value, day by day.
Let's hope they're in that newfangled Mercedes that drives itself into a tree, explodes, and launches the engine hundreds of feet.
Seniors in a Buick .
But the Neocons and MIC stock buyers and Wall St are "bullish" that DODs Budget will not be "cut"*.
* Cut means that although the absolute USD budget will not fall, it is the amount of INCREASE that will be "cut". IOW, there will be a less aggressive slope than before.
It's a peace enforcing and humanitarian armada.
Obama, the boy who plays with matches, is extremely concerned that the fire he helped create is getting out of control.
http://taxicabdepressions.com/?p=1193
"Wheeler got quiet for a few moments, and then he said something that I will never, ever forget.
“These people are playing with matches… I don’t think they understand the scope and scale of the wildfire they are flirting with. They are fucking around with a civil war that could last a decade and cause millions of deaths… and the sad truth is that 95% of the problems we have in this country could be solved tomorrow, by noon… simply by dragging 100 people out in the street and shooting them in the fucking head.”"
Go, and read the whole thing.

Ditto on that RM!
But it will have to be a lot more than 100. Washington has to burn and I'm not talking about the 1968 version with the outskirts of the Pennsylvania and Constitution Avenue on fire this time around! I also think a little tactical nuclear explosion over Langley and Fort Meade are in order! fuck every single one of these cock sucking motherfuckers who continue to follow orders and draw a paycheck!!!
Lets all back up the words up with deeds this time, cause if we don't Russia may be doing the honors.

PS
Don't really mean the part about burning it down as this would be counter to what Operation American Spring is supposed to be about!
Naturally just venting considering how far down the toilet the 535 + 1 in D.C. have taken us without a plunger!
"Obama, the boy who plays with matches, is extremely concerned that the fire he helped create is getting out of control."
And I hope the fucking mulatto gets viciously scorched.
But Kerry signed the Geneva Accord.
Oh, wait.
That was fake. You know all about such things.
Let him put on his special forces beret now and captain s swift boat up the crimea river, so he can here a presidential speech again from the wrong side of a border, deep in the shit. Kerry got off the boat. Never get off the boat or you end up full retard, with a little purple heart candy stuck into your butt.
If he'd signed for a Honda Accord, he'd have accomplished a lot more.
June 28, 2014 is < 8 weeks away. He'd better not be sent to Kiev around that time. Recall Sarajevo, June 28, 1914.

Concerned like in some of those Ukrainian miltias might get some ideas and make an excursion over the border into Russia to cause problems...
WWIII is not slated to start until O'Muslim Brotherhood is purged from the WH with the rest of his Muslim crew in the ME that is going on right now. They NEED the Egyptian military on board and he is the price they have to pay to bring Al-Sisi back into the fold.
The muslims are funny like that when they try to end a feud. It is a cultural thing.
It is clear between Sauds banning the Muslim Brotherhood, Now the Sauds and rest of the GCC kissing and making up with Qatar, Egypt sentencing over 600 MB members to death and now all of a sudden a select committee to investigate Benghazi from an all of a sudden released email when they had the ammo the second Fineswine said she didn't know the CIA had an Annex in Benghazi which is a clear cut violation of law that she didn't know. It should be apparent his O'Muslim's head was part of the deal to bring Egypt back into the fold. That and Bahrain is now negotiating for the GCC (including Qatar) with Syria and in turn Putin to wind down the war there. The question is are they going to try to shift those terrorist Al Qaeda assets into Iran next.
Market loves it !
No, Yellen is desperately hitting buy orders like Bernanke taught her to.
Speaking of, the wear and tear on that buy button must be horrendous.
Yea, my stomach lining is about shot, but I still can't quit the kool aid.

Nudelman is to Blame
At least 10 self-defense fighters and their unarmed civilian supporters have been killed in the latest clashes,
excellent. taking a play from the Israeli playbook I see.
The White House says it's "extremely concerned" by the deteriorating situation in southern Ukraine.
The Nobel Prize Winner has been instigating this turmoil. The killings will continue:
On Saturday, Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov declared that the regime’s military crackdown on pro-Russian protesters in the east would continue, saying, “We are not stopping.” He vowed that operations with “special units” would continue throughout eastern Ukraine.
The Odessa massacre is an indictment of the reactionary intervention of Washington and Berlin to install an unelected regime in Kiev in the fascist-led putsch of February 22. The neo-Nazi Right Sector was used by the Western imperialist powers as the shock troops for the coup.
Washington and Berlin relied on their corrupt media establishments to package the putsch as a popular revolution for democracy while they prepared to crush popular opposition by means of mass killings carried out by their ultra-right allies.
Responsibility for the atrocity lies first and foremost with the imperialist backers of the Kiev regime. The massacre itself was in all likelihood discussed and prepared with Western officials, as were the two waves of military assaults on eastern cities controlled by antigovernment rebels. The first crackdown came after a secret April 12-13 visit to Kiev by CIA Director John Brennan, the second followed an April 21-22 visit by US Vice President Joseph Biden.
New reports have emerged substantiating the close ties between US intelligence agencies and the Kiev regime. Citing sources in the German security services, Bild am Sonntag reported Sunday: “The Ukrainian transitional government in Kiev is advised by dozens of specialists of the CIA secret service and the FBI federal law enforcement agency.”
According to Bild, the CIA and FBI officials are working with security forces in Kiev to “help end the rebellion in the east of the country and build a functioning security infrastructure.”
http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2014/05/05/ukra-m05.html
Just to add a little to the above, Ukrainian Prime Marionette Arseniy "our man Yats" Yatsenyuk was critical of the Odessa police for not cracking down enough on the "terrists" before roasting them in a human barbeque.
http://news.antiwar.com/2014/05/04/ukraine-pm-slams-odessa-police-blames...
Tomorrow's news: John McCain demands, and Obama approves, shipments of flame throwers to the Ukrainian Nazi government to help them fight "terra".
Slavyansk is just a small town, teh numbers will surely mount when they try for the larger towns.
While I may agree with the content of the writing quoted, I am extremely leery of any org with the name of "World Socialist".
Because of the word "World". Smacks of another globalist kabaal. If a People want "socialism" -- or "capitalism" for that matter -- then it's something that needs to be customized by them, and for their local or regional needs, culture and objectives. Anything else is BS and globalism by another name.
sounds bullish, buy stocks...
the more people die, the more likely the IMF will give ukraine that money. the US....i mean the IMF forced this action. fight or dont get money. a rational person wouldve told the US....damn, i mean the IMF to fuck off.
Pawns are being sacrificed to move knights and bishops into play.
The West's King is in the crosshairs.
It is the dollar by the way.
Obama is playing checkers. Putin is playing chess.
Brilliant! Did you make that up?
Single handedly.
The neocons are like the monkey with its hand caught in the jar, they just can't turn loose.
I think this is about enough bloodshed. It is time for Putin to take the gloves off.
Sadly no.The death count will have to rise a lot, lot higher,
before he can justify intervening.
Tis but a small battle in a much bigger war.
"He says the U.S. mourns with Ukrainians the heartbreaking loss of life."
LOL!!!
Right. As if we care about life - other than the unborn type. Or even know where Ukraine is on a map.
But they look black when they are burned to a crisp. Shouldn't that count for something?
He gives not a shit. Probably he and Eric "my people" Holder are high-fiving each other over the escalating numbers of dead "whiteys."
This is truly horrible news. I love Hayden Panettiere. She's a very good person. I actually respect her immensely.
Just think if hundreds of people had been killed in these battles. The S&P would be over 2000 on the news.
Pity.
Who the fuck is she some disney world monarch butterfly slut? FUck her and hollywood. Faggots and pedophiles and sluts that people read about in magazines and grovel over. Hopefully a drone fires a missile loaded with shit on her wedding.
The US government ordered the Kiev regime to attack the civilians resisting the regime in East Ukraine, and is responsible for the ensuing pogroms, burning people alive, shooting and clubbing to death people who get out of burning buildings, etc.
I doubt most Americans even know who Klitschko is.
Why is he standing on a platform while posing for this picture?
Klitschko is the Ukrainian version of Arnold Schwartezenegger, a beard for global Socialism.
Funny how the biggest anti-Communist anti-Socialist defender of sovereign rights, property rights and self determination is ex-KGB Vlad Putin, and we have a Kenyan Communist President, strange times we live in.
As impeachment looks to be gaining public traction, GoBombem will pull out even bigger weapons of mass distraction to enflame the innocent Ukrainians and push Select Committee proceedings off the newspaper front page.

How the fuck can the Dow be up 170 points with this shit going on?
Did you really just waste the time it took to type that comment? You wasted the time it took me to read and to respond to it, as well.
Thanks.
Yea this sure is concerning, I can see the fear in the market what with the S&P screaming straight up to new all time highs and VIX futures already near the lows of the year going straight down.
Exactly my thoughts. It seems the only ones who are concerned about the Ukraine is Zero Hedge. What I'm watching to see is if AAPL breaks 600. If that happens, I'm looking for a quick run to 625. Then you could get a 10 - 20x return on the weekly options. It's all about making money. Everything else is just noise.
What is money?
So much for Perestroika
Yesterday Joaquin Flores predicted casualties would escalate this week, and Russia won't do anything until after the breakaway referendum May 11th. He says there's an 80-90% chance that Eastern regions of the country will end up becoming autonomous regions of Russia. 1 hour, 40 minute interview that has about 15 minutes of content, so it's hard to stay focused.

That must be good for a couple of IMF billions.
Mind our own effed-up business.
"Over a dozen of people have been killed, including some civilians." Readily distinguishable, I am sure, from those "disguised as civilians".
I am amazed at Putins restraint. A duly elected pro-russian government is deposed by the CIA(et al), and a self appointed government of highly questionable origins takes its place with no elections. they are instantly legitimized by Odumbo, and the well.....
Shock here is Putin hasnt intervened... He should take the industrialized East before it loses more infrastructure and leave the parasitic west to NATO/ EU
Putin is just waiting for a major catastrophy, which will be engineered by the Ukrainian nationalists, that will put the US and EU to shame in front of the whole world. And then he will wait a little more untill the US and EU will begg him to go in and reestablish order.
Sounds a lot like the story of the Ryurik dynasty being "implored" to rule Russia and "restore order".
They don't want Kyiv and its residents and will press for war, they want "stuff", the only reason they give a crap about the mob in Kyiv is to "vote to take the stuff".
oh, send him a love letter then ant let him know you would be more than happy to lick a russian boot.
Well, your love putin has 50k soldiers that already occupied part of ucraine, and additional 40k waiting and you are amazed at putin's restraint??? oh, oh, oh, see how you can manipulate crowd?
What the White House really is concerned about is that the Ukrainian military is killing civilians - 'rebels' and 'domestic terrorists' are fine -- but photos of dead civs instantly make the Ukrainian Army look like --- hint (the Syrian Army)! Now all we need is a chemical weapons attack on eastern Ukrainian cities!
And these are the people in Washington that the Amercian people elected.
The criminals in Washington are directing this. Its disgusting and they must be brought to justice.
you are either on RT payroll, or know nothing. Choose, please!
Vlad the impaler?
This could escalate and, intentionally or unintentionally, spread to America. This could be much worse than any of the other wars we started.
In war, there are shortages of everything. Stock up, if you can.
Twenty killed? Isn't that just like Sandy Hook?
The Ukrainians should pass some legislation at night without proper committee review so that "Assault Weapons (TM)" need to be registered.
That way the authorities could figured out right away who was responsible and arrest them.
They should be concerned:

Or better yet... a percolating and usurping from a provincial Gasland`Qatar'ianism of the Muslim`Kind, via Egypt's eternal political struggles since bygone years of Nasserian?
Now, for a brief recap of what matter most during the Arab Spring, and I'm not going to forget Libya-- but let's focus on the heart and soul of the Middle-East [ME] that being Egypt! Bingo!

So, now we have Ukraine fighting tit-for-tat, till the big gun's come out and its turns into a regional 'Whatever the name is for a, 'Meaningless War Today? Just as Syria's devastation only fell upon the innocent, so will the Ukrainian devastation fall upon the unfortunate... and the mass migration-exodus of its inhabitants into an already toxic bi-polar democratic baltic-belt states periphery, not to forget the dreaded`Caucasus; this infested Muslim jihadist stronghold at the whims of Bandar/Bush/Obama?-- shored-up by NATO and it's unorthodox FRBs via the WB & IMF and indisputably bankroll'd from FiatLand`USSA(Fascist`imo)?

How symbolic would it be if the Russian army rolled in on May 9? The rate at which things are escalating it could be a real possibility.
As horrible as it was predictable.
As will be the fucking demon that issues from that little girl's vag next year.
Klit must still be ticked Nudelman didn't pick him. Not Jewish enough for Mrs. Kagan I suppose.
#1 When the Balkans blew up,everyone started to hark back to dead heroes.
This seems to avoid the sticky question of human rights violations committed by these fellows and their cohorts.(Historical amnesia?).
#2 Did the State Dept. not anticipate that a secession movement would rapidly develop,self defense militias,etc.?
Perhaps this is a case of "Madeline Allbright",as with Iraq,saying a half-million childrens lives are worth it. Democracy? A successful outcome? If Iraq is a success,pity the country that is a failure of US efforts.
Ask the Marines how they feel about getting shot to bits over Fallujah,and the gratitude of locals for their freedom now.Any monuments to the Marines sacrifice in downtown Fallujah? I think rather not.Never mind.Halliburton stocks is up....
#3 Ask yourself if we would be bothering at all if the NatGas was not flowing.This is a squeeze play just like we squeezed Noriega in Panama,Hussein in Iraq,etc.
They are trying to squeeze Putin right after the Olympics and all the goodwill stuff.
I can't say I am surprised about the right wing fascists in the Ukraine we are supporting with our tax dollars.When someone does get the election honestly,Allende in Chile springs to mind,the CIA fellows from Langley pull a swifty,foment a truckers strike,etc.,or as Richard Nixon said,"make the economy scream". Never mind that the Chileans are stuck with Pinochet for forty years.
When the Russians assist a country that's bad.When America helps a country that's always spun positive in the press. Odd that.....
