Russia Accuses Kiev Of Committing Genocide Of Russian, Ukrainian People

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Russia has made its first official comment following the latest escalations in Ukraine - and they are not peaceful-sounding - "We are dealing with the real genocide of both Russian and Ukrainian people,” said Russian State Duma Speaker Sergei Naryshkin, adding that Russia was shocked by the massacre in Odessa and mourns the victims together with their families. His words went further as he warned the perpetrators "will get what they deserve from their people." The words though, have now been followed up by actions... as RIA reports that Russia’s Black Sea Fleet "will get new submarines and next-generation surface ships", Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Tuesday, voicing his concern at the increasing maritime activity of the US Navy.

Russia's first official response to the escalation in Ukraine and the disaster in Odessa... (via RIA)

The latest episodes of violence in Ukraine constitute a genocide against the Russian and Ukrainian people, Russian State Duma Speaker Sergei Naryshkin said during a Balkan forum Tuesday.

 

“We are dealing with the real genocide of both Russian and Ukrainian people,” said Naryshkin, commenting on the tragic events in Odessa on May 2, when 46 federalization activists were killed in clashes.

 

He added that Russia was shocked by the massacre in Odessa and mourns the victims together with their families.

 

“In the 21st century such things happen not only due to the fault of a bunch of political adventurists – they are not worth much on their own, they will get what they deserve from their people. The main problem is that the horrific truth is being kept from the whole world,” Naryshkin said.

 

According to the speaker, Kiev’s authorities initially based their policy on civil confrontation. They have now demonstrated their unwillingness to find and punish those responsible for the numerous crimes that have been committed in Ukraine in recent months, he added.

 

...

 

The Russian Foreign Ministry called the events a result of the “criminal irresponsibility of the Kiev leadership indulging insolent nationalist radicals, including Right Sector, who are staging a campaign of physical terror against supporters of federalization and real constitutional changes in Ukrainian society."

And then appears to be taking action as The Black Sea Fleet gets reinforcements...

Russia’s Black Sea Fleet headquartered in the Crimea region that recently reunified with Russia will be beefed up with a slew of next-generation warships and submarines, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Tuesday.

 

“This year, our sea bases will host new air defense and marine regiments,” Shoigu said.

 

“This year, the Black Sea Fleet will get new submarines and next-generation surface ships, and all of this requires our immediate attention,” the minister said during a conference call.

 

The general underscored that Russia has always “lent all the necessary forces” to the Black Sea Fleet, but Crimea’s accession to Russia required it to amend the fleet’s development plan.

 

Russia has recently voiced concern over the increasing maritime activity of the US Navy in the Black Sea after the Pentagon dispatched its frigate USS Taylor to the region together with the command ship USS Mount Whitney.

The clock is ticking and sanctions are doing nothing. The days of diplomacy - it would seem - are long gone - as Lavrov warns...

Those curious what the next event catalyst will be, look no further than May 11, when the Donetsk independence referendum takes place, assured to be a carbon-copy of the Crimean vote.

But, as Russia Today just reported, the US has already said it will not recognize the referendum vote just like it did not "recognize" the Crimean vote, even though Russia couldn't give a rat's ass about that (unless, of course, the east votes against independence, which at this point appears unlikely).

TY Volkodav, I have very close family friend from Ukraine (Dnipropetrovsk area) that I grew up with and a very good friend in university from Russia so I've picked up things over my life that are much different than the media or schools project them to be.  I appreciate your percpective around here on these boards.

Most of the Russians, Ukrainians, Serbians that I've met and got to know might not have been friendly at first but once I got to know them...I had some wonderfully good conversations that really made me think differently, and the older ones...lots and lots of food and so welcoming!!!

This situation going on now deeply saddens me.

The pursuit of communism by Lenin and  Stalin and their Bolshevik enablers is one of history’s worst economic and social disasters: millions shot but many more millions also starved.

This brings to mind “Ghosts of the White Night” by Peter Savodnik, and its depiction of the dreaded Solovetski islands on the White Sea, the haunted ground of the Soviet gulag. Is this to be man’s fate again--the most awful killing field in the Soviet empire--"the mother of the gulag," as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn put it--singled out for their ghastly killing mission because of their isolation.

 "A place with no connection to the world," Solzhenitsyn wrote. "A scream from here would never be heard,"—the Solovki, the remote islands in the frigid waters of the White Sea, in the 1920s and 1930s where hundreds of thousands of innocent “enemies of the revolution” were shot, starved and tortured.

Solzhenitsyn, ostracized by the US media and US presidents so as to keep Americans in ignorance of communism, would weep at the flippant mockery of the Russian people's suffering at the hands of the Bolsheviks—a suffering soon to engulf the United States if the current government is not removed.

Solzhenitsyn left America disillusioned, and observant Americans can begin to understand why. To think of the millions of beautiful people who died under the worst butchery and inhumanity to man that cruelty has ever devised, and, economics aside, their silent screams and suffering to be besmirched and covered up again by the likes of the New York Times,is one of our era's greatest evils. And theTimes still is depicting and protecting the memory of the Soviet Union as a workers’ paradise.

And, now, if not stopped, that same "paradise” is on its way to the US, courtesy of the descendants and media of these same Bolsheviks.

“Governments are not moralists,” wrote Solzhenitsyn. “Governments never imprisoned people and executed them FOR having done something.  They imprisoned and executed them TO KEEP THEM FROM doing something… They imprisoned all of them TO KEEP THEM FROM telling their fellow villagers about Europe.  What the eye doesn’t see, the heart doesn’t grieve for.”

Fortunately, there are many who still live whom the evil banker-controlled American/Israeli Empire cannot KEEP FROM TELLING… and ACTING.

Most people that burned in Odessa trade union building reportedly had gun shot wounds to their heads and then had napalm sprayed on them to conceal the crimes. Then fire consumed them.

No, you've got it all wrong.  The WSJ has it all figured out.  What happened was those pro-russian guys ran into the union building and then dropped molotov cocktails on themselves.  Dumb luck, that. You can't make this shit up - oh wait, I guess you can.

 

A horrific fire that killed dozens in a hulking Odessa building where pro-Russian protesters had taken cover was likely sparked by rebels on the roof who accidentally dropped Molotov cocktails, according to a preliminary investigation by the government.

The ethnic Ukrainians are being incredibly stupid. The similarities with the Russians are so much greater than the similarities they share with the West. And one day when Eastern Europe actually starts to thrive again (which may be sooner rather than later considering the demographics in Asia all around) they are goingt o face the same problems the West currently faces with Islam and the blatant failure of immigrants into the region to adapt to the culture of the region. Russia will fight those threats and win, Ukraine aligned with the West will remain as it has been for the last 25 years... a desolate wasteland of broken dreams and corruption where the masses can only hope to live in a housing project funded by a government who only wants more power for themselves. They would be wise to burn Kiev to the ground and forget their failed nationhood project.

Demolish (rather than burn) the old Soviet-era apartment blocks, but leave central Kyiv intact please. Pretty spectacular (and interesting) architecture there.

Mind you, somce of the "newer" apartment blocks ain't so grand either - or rather the construction standards are pretty shoddy. I'll be surprised if they outlive the "old stuff".

“The referendum planned by the separatists on May 17th is considered illegal by Kiev, America and Europe. The likely scenario is that Putin will respond by recognizing the referendum as legitimate. Then comes May 25th election to replace the interim government and the non eastern part of Ukraine will vote for a pro-Western leader.” (4 hours ago)

Considered "illegal" by those with an axe to grind, and / or "interests" in the outcome.

If the people of Donetsk choose to shack up with the Russians, that's their inalienable right. Last time I looked, the USA was certainly not part of Ukraine, and I don't suppose the people of Donetsk (and elsewhere) could give a toss as to "American" opinion.

What good would U.S. gas to Europe do when the market for future purchases of Gas is in IndiaRussiaChina? We would lose out on a Euro gas deal with the failed E.U. You want to see a win win for the U.S.? Build the keystone pipeline and ally with Russia and India against China. A new superpower in a regenerated Russia would not be a bad thing so long as we are not enemies. I would say the competition would be grand for our people in terms of renewed investment in technology and a race for further exploration of space again. People who are against Putin are not making a lot of sense.

Just for the sake of argument, why not have the US ally with China against Russia?  That seems more plausible, if you abolutely have to play armchair statesman (aka Risk).  The Russians and the US have a history of bad blood between them; the US and China have been on mostly friendly terms diplomatically and extremely friendly terms in trade since the Reagan era.  A US/Chinese alliance against Russia could open up new strategic possibilities like undermining the Russian regime while pushing on it from both sides militarily and diplomatically.  The Chinese could use some Russian territory, mineral resources, and women, and an invasion would give them all three.  The European Union could annex the remains of western Russia after disarming it and reducing it to a Morgenthau-esque "agricultural and pastoral character."  Each remaining zone (pan-Asia, North America, and Europe) would have its own industrial and agricultural base, and everyone could be very happy, except perhaps the former Russians.

The simple answer is Russia, and India with their combined populations are 1.382 billion. The population of China is 1.351 billion, with ukraine's population inevitably thrown into the mix that makes the alliance between russia and india close to 2 billion. Considering China is an unknown in the grand scheme of the future and also considering their past in the 20th century, they seem more likely to be an adversary than an economic ally to all of the parties involved. Also, considering the population of the U.S. is only 350 million, I doubt we can cling to our superiority in the world very much longer. The future rests with Asia, and they will not rise peacefully. I give North Korea 5 years tops before the Chinese get tired of them and Taiwan might as well just vote to join China now. The reality her though, is that Russia China and India are already aligning themselves against the West. That makes close to three billion people against NATOs APX. 900 MILLION. We lost already.

Russia only has 143 million people, not too many more than Japan.  India has 1.237 billion.  If strength lies in numbers, as you suggest, why wouldn't it be to India and China's advantage to turn on Russia and seize some living space, agricultural land, minerals, and women?  If the future rests with Asia, how long are the Russians, with their unsustainable demographics that, despite a blip up out of negative growth, tend towards the negative, going to seem like good future allies rather than good future prey to the rest of Asia?

China's already tired of North Korea.  They haven't done much about it, though, except to leak documents detailing plans for what they'd do in the event of the collapse of the NK regime, however much it would be a shame if something were to happen to their lately inconvenient and insufficiently obediant puppet.

We live in the age of two titanic cycles of history: (1) the decline of the West into a super debt cycle collapse, and (2) the rise of the East (Russia, China, and India).

The US is violently striking at the East to try to maintain its position. Syria and Ukraine are  the fault lines between the East and the West. The EU will likely not break free of the trap set for it by the US and will remain a vassal of the US.

The US will only prevail by destroying much of the world. Except for a great war the East will rise and the West will decline.

Russia and China share a border.  That means if they go to war, a lot is at stake for both sides.  But if they go to war w/ the US, China will get Taiwan, parts of Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore (in their Sphere of influence).  The City of Vancouver.  (thats a joke right there)

Thats a lot richer prize than Vladivostok, Irkutsk, and Kazakhstan in their Sphere of Influence.  All the oil is in West Siberia, and thats a bridge too far for China to invade, IMO. see Napoleon, Hitler.

"Russia and China share a border.  That means if they go to war, a lot is at stake for both sides."

No offense...

But before you make a statement like that you should investigate the border in question.

The Russian side of that border is Novisibirsk.  Just research that term in conjunction with the words 'travel' or 'invasion' and see what you get.

The China side of that border is, XinXiang province - a big desert filled with disgruntled ethnic minorities.

Nation-States do not have friends.  They have interests.

That is true of the US.  That is becoming true of the EU as they become more of a nation.  That is true of Russia. And it is certainly true of China.

One other thing all nation-states have in common:

They are all run by Sociopaths.

Actually, there was a short-lived, undeclared war between China and the USSR back in 1969.  They were fighting over borders, because Mao believed that Siberia was Chinese territory wrongfully stolen from China in the nineteenth century.  

The Chinese don't need a military invasion, though.  They're already pouring over the border as undocumented immigrants.  Meanwhile, the Russians have problems sustaining a population: they don't have nearly enough children.  On one side of the border are still six and a half million Russians in the Far East; on the other, at least until they cross over, are a hundred million (and growing) Chinese.  The Chinese are on the way to becoming the dominant ethnic group in Siberia and the Far East, and it's not a question of if they will be, but how soon.  Maybe they'll even bother holding a referendum.

The events I am about to recount are 100% accurate. I only say this because the following conversation must be so cliche to many ZH readers that many may see it as a complete fabrication as it so closely follows the narrative set forth by Tyler and many of the posters here. The following is true, my only hope is that it is not indicative of the current sate and mentality of our military, though obvious evidence and arguments can be made that this mentality is indeed the sad state of affairs we live in:

         Went to my local bar today just looking for a buzz and some lunch. Had another regular stop in that I had talked to in the past sit next to me at the bar and started up a conversation. He tells me he is a staff sgt. in the army reserves that runs a legal consulting company that gets govt contracts because of special consideration for being veteran owned, and is still in the reserves at 40. So I ask him, if the army decides to call him up and send him to Ukraine would he question it? His response, "I'm an oppurtunist, I have five kids I pay child support to and never been late with a payment. I have two houses and a brand new car. I'm an oppurtunist and I'm gonna do whatever I have to do to live."

    Now, luckily I was not at my normal point of inebriation at this time of day or I would not have been able to hold my tongue, but I do enjoy the bar and would like to continue patronizing it without being thrown out of the place so I quietly left to rant on these pages. He would gladly follow orders to kill other human beings simply to keep his baby's mama off his back. All I could think to myself is please, if there is a God, do not let this one individual be our representative soldier.

"Best thing you could do. We cannot talk people out of the matrix. They have to learn and see it themselves."

So very true, American schools convince Americans they are educated and they are far from it. I talk to many Americans and generally come away with "how can they not possibly know this?" It is pretty scary how uninformed the average American really is. In fact a large number of Americans are the same types who genocided the indians and stole their land. The GI wanted to keep his car and make his child payments, the settler wanted his free homestead. It dicn't matter who was in the way. I am afraid this attitude is endemic tyo western man.

That is what I did, after the army became a banker, then a social worker and then joined the Border Patrol where I retired. I really never liked violence however and didn't think the Vietnam war was such a good idea. Back then draftees were a cut more intelligent than the average soldier you see today.

I have seen a certain portion of law enforcement who should not be wearing badges, it is too much for them to handle. On the other hand I was fortunate too work with some great people. The average law enforcement type I worked with were not at all in favor of gun control either.

The average immigrant, especially from Mexico is just trying to surivive. They are not all gang bangers and dope runners. There is a certain percentage of them who advocate la raza, the retaking of America but not the majority, they just want to live. Some of them I had more respect for than the average American. They are mostly part indio also as they are discrimated against and routed in Mexico by the "whiter" Spaniards who are stealing the place blind, what is left of it. I think there will be a unification of Mexico and the US, it won't be due to compasison howevr. Mexico sits on an ocean of silver deposits.

I have watched a lot of old friends die lately and many more tell me there are not at all unahppy to be near the end of the line the way things are going, they just feel sorry for the younger people.

I think you have that backwards.  The US was set up by Freemasons.  Although Bakunin was a Freemason, the Communists in general were opposed to esoteric and mystic mumbo-jumo, and the fourth Congress of the Communist International declared the Freemasons incompatible with Communism, which resulted in a ban on Freemasonry across the Communist bloc.

Donetsk is about 40% Russian.

The Ethnic Ukrainians are split somewhat between Russia and Euro-Centrism, with the balance being for Euro-Centrism.

The result of a vote in Donetsk is a toss-up because while Ukrainians/Russians are split 60/40 in Donetsk, the Ukrainian vote is also split there.

In Ukraine generally, government corruption is (and always has been) such that election results have always been suscpect.  I mean there's no way to tell if the election result is the will of the voters or of the vote-counters.

These referendums seem to have one thing in common - no one is willing to let a national election happen.

If they think the vote might be corrupt - that is a valid concern.   However, WHAT ELSE IS THERE?  Other systems are even EASIER to corrupt.

If I were Russia I would want this to resolve itself quickly, and stop threatening Russia's Oil and Gas income.

If I were the EU I would want this to spiral out of control - so that I could get what I want by volunteering constituent nation's troops to the  UN to resolve things (to the EU's satisfaction - not to the Ukraine's)

If I were the USG I would be anxious for Ukraine to draw people's attention away from my other illicit affairs.

You know, a lot of Russians were not so hot on hard communism even though they were Russian. I have listened to lectures by defectors.

What strikes me as interesting is that it is kind of assumed that virtually all ethnic Russians or Russian speakers favor Putin. All others want the current Ukrainian regime.

I wonder if that is the case. Perhaps they want something free of both sides but mainly free. If it is like most populations the vast majority in the middle just want to avoid bloodshed and corruption and go on trying to make a living. They are probably relatively apolitical and do not spend a lot of time hating one group or another.

Ukrainian army may use rockets against protesters in Slavyansk - local militia

'The Ukrainian army has placed multiple-launch rocket systems near the city of Slavyansk in eastern Ukraine in preparation for an imminent attack on pockets of resistance held by pro-federalization activists, local militia said Tuesday. "We have reliable information that Grad MLRS have been deployed between Slavyansk and [nearby city of] Kramatorsk," a militia spokesman told RIA Novosti.

The use of Grads will most certainly cause massive casualties among the population as these systems have a devastating area effect. "It will be a heinous crime. We hope it will never happen", the spokesman said.'

Don’t miss the cutlines connected to the tragic photos of the Odessa fire as they confirm this event was a planned terrorist attack on pro-Russian protesters that only intelligence experts such as the CIA could have produced.

The photos prove that some Kiev thugs were pretending to be part of the pro-Russian protesters and it’s obvious that they probably helped steer the victims into the Unions building after tents were set on fire in the street.

It appears that the Kiev thugs had prior access to the Unions building, probably with keys to the locked doors leading to the roof.

The photos show that many victims had their faces and hands burned but not their upper clothing, indicating they were flushed with flammable materials. Some were shot in the head at close range; one woman obviously raped before she was killed.

Where the charred bodies were found, wooden grates nearby, unburned, indicate they had been used to block victims from reaching an upper floor. A white liquid covering the floor suggests that fire extinguishers were used to protect the attackers as they murdered their victims. Before the operation had even begun, it was obvious that material for the Molotov cocktails had been brought to the area.

To assume this operation was protesters against protesters is to repeat the propaganda lies of the western media. But this is one case where these photographs show the result of the illegitimate Kiev government of having the expertise of western intelligence agencies such as the CIA.

These exclusive photos are on view at Global Research. SEE:

Russia just needs a "Yes" vote from the referendum and they can then send their troops to protect the people.. as long as their presence is requested, of course. And, should more referendums follow, that's how it's going to be.

I don't see why Russia would want to tie up their troops and be subject to guerrilla attack, or even acquire more territory. Plus if there is enough chaos there might not even be a referendum. I think they will use air attacks against Ukranian troops, and even against the illegal gov't in Kiev.  But I'm surprised it hasn't already happened, and I would think a less risky first step would be to arm the separatists with more advanced weaponry, which apparently hasn't been done yet.  So maybe I'm missing something.

You're overestimating the threat. If there was a risk of guerrilla war against Russia it would already be going on in Crimea. Kiev is striking now while they still have the chance, but they won't risk a campaign against Russian troops if the referendum does go through and Russian peacekeepers enter the picture. Kiev is barely standing up right now.

It would be more accurate to say that Guerrilla warfare is not the MAIN risk to Russia YET.

Everything will depend on how bad things get in the Ukraine, and who the average Ukrainian blames it on.

They are at the border between Russia and the Ukraine.  There are plenty of cell phone videos of them there.

I think it comes down to the Russians want to commit as little as possible to Ukraine right now as they're using the strategy "dont take any actions if your enemy is destroying/killing themselves for you".  I think a lot of the industry and agriculture in the east of Ukraine has close association to Russia and trade with Russian businesses and is resource rich, so they will go in if they have to to tie that up.   

Despite the deaths of some Russian people, the longer the Russians can draw this out in present form, the more that the EUSSA/HATO side loses credibility and the more that Russia gains.

As for the terrorist angle, their strategy although brutal was effective against Chechnyans.  It seems to me that the Russians are content to sit back and let events unite Slavic people behind Putin/Russia and for the HATO/EUSSA side to lose further momentum and credibility.

There is still a large majority of Russians who view Ukraine as though it were a province in the USSR - meaning that if they don't like how the place is run, they can have Moscow change Ukraine's leadership.

That is exactly what happened in 2008.

The Russian Army does not surrender momentum voluntarily.  PERIOD.  So... 'waiting for the EUSSA/HATO to lose credibility... NO.  That is not how the Russian Army works.

Only last week Putin invited EU Leaders from Germany and representatives from EU Energy companies to Moscow to negotiate.    He has realized that boldness alone will not allow Russia to do this unscathed.  And now he is waiting to see if that meeting will bear any fruit.

As for the EU, they don't have to have momentum.  They have all the time they need, and some degree of win behind both option number one and option number two.  It's fucked up...but its true.

Now that they've ensured that the EXTREMISTS were accendant in Ukraine, the extremists will be indebted to them (at least for now) and so will be obligated to give them what they want (use of the pipelines).

OPTION #1:  The extremists might be able to consolidate a functioning society - in which case the EU gets use of the pipelines in repayment.

OPTION #2:  The extremists probably will sew more and more chaos in the Ukraine - that is why they are extremists after all.   If so then Europe can express how deplorable things are in the Ukraine, put their support behind yet another regime, and it repeat the whole fiasco.

OPTION #3:  If the Ukraine gets too out-of-control then the EU can help them apply to the UN for peacekeepers.   And who would those peacekeepers be?  Why, they would be from the same EU countries, and Gulf Countries who meddled in the Ukraine in the first place!!!   And the result would still be that Europe gets to use Ukraine's pipelines.

(Do you really think O'Bunion and his crew could think that strategically?  Honestly?  When have they so far?  They're focused on  fighting their own citizenry!)

Putin realized that the only way to totally derail this plan was to simply remove Ukraine from play.  Moreover, he had to have Crimea or the Black Sea Fleet was finished - and that was unacceptable.

Now it is clear there will be real consequences for Russia if it proceeds.   I am certain he wants to know whether those are necessary consequences or whether there are other options.

Shortly, this is a tactical pause internationally, although everyone's proxies in Ukraine are still doing their thing.

If I were him I would demand Europe stop supporting extremists in Ukraine, and then ask for something to compensate Russia for all the revenue they will lose if other energy providers use Ukraine pipelines - say.... 1000 tons of gold?  And then wait.

If those two conditions are met then Russia can wait to act.  Russia will still be militarily capable of responding in the Ukraine in the coming months and years.   The US, and EU will appear poised to economically burn themselves out.  It would be beneficial to Russia if Putin conserved Russia's resources until that happens - or until the situation materially changes.

And it would enhance his standing if the EU and Ukraine were falling apart, while he could offer a better life in Russia to the 8.5 milllion ethnic Russians in the Ukraine.

A Donetsk referendum would give Putin some domestic cover.

However, the timing of his use of troops is his own. 

West and Euromaidan will take the blame for unpleasantness in Donetsk or other Eastern provinces.

He can wait as long as he needs to to ensure it is going to be the successful move. 

 

It might give the Ukrainians time to organize and decide what they really want.

When there is internal disturbance, even the most well-meaning help from outside is often destructive.

I agree.  Obama, Putin, Merkel, Hollande...   'Scheming psychopath' is part of the job description.

That is why I argue and point out the immoral choices each side has.

But always, always, there is a significant majority who wants to imagine that their tyrant's are more desirable than the next country's tyrants.

I used to believe that our tyrants in the US were just as bad, but kept on a shorter constitutional leash.  Then I discovered that the leash had been transfered from the politician's necks to the peoples' over a century ago, all while keeping the slogans of freedom.

Once burned. Twice shy.

I hope to help others understand that a choice between evils is not a choice.

It's like saying "we only steal $1 million per day, everybody else steals $2 million per day, so our standard of behaviour is acceptable, vote for us". Of course this is wrong. But it's how so many people think.

It is not beyond the wit of man to determine what is right and wrong and to adjust their own behaviour and standards accordingly. In many cases this will not simply mean that their behaviour is better than everybody else, but actually acceptable. And it creates a standard for others to aspire to.

Putting that into the context of your comment means that just because the US may be better than Russia in some ways, does not mean the US is acceptable.

Precisely.

It is a very different place than it was just 10 or 20 years ago.

The sprint to totalitarianism and away from any limits or checks on government behavior are absolutely stunning.

I could not have imagined it.

But, as it turns out, it has been secretly totalitarian at the top for a long time.   It has just taken 100  years to seep into local daily life.

And there's hope yet.  The oligarchs may be forced to relinquish power by means of a Crack-Up Boom.

Patton woke up some, but still not focused on exact problem.which ended him firstly...

He was more force than thinking, and still not aware of how far just to Urals, where fallback postion was, and after that rough Siberia..

Other invaders from west never arrived even close to Urals..

It is early May and the ground is soft, muddy, meaning that the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian army will not occur for at least a few more weeks.

Considering that Putin has already said that he would protect Russian people and Russian interests in Ukraine, the continuing assaults by the Ukrainian army has already given him casus belli, but, he has so far resisted the urge to act and send troops over the border.

Given the audacity and recklessness by all sides in the escalating conflict, Putin needs no more violence, but rather a hardening of the ground, upon which to roll tanks, troop carriers and heavy artillery.

A couple of ironic dates to keep in front of mind as Putin - the chess master and relentless taunter of Western interests - plots his obligatory invasion (yes, obligatory, as in compulsory, mandatory, requisite, unavoidable, inescapable), are May 17 (Armed Forces Day) and May 26 (Memorial Day).

Russian geologists will make the call.

They won't. The book which is properly called "The Apocalypse of John" is the personal testament of what it's like to experince salvation, personally. Apocalypses were common in Christian literature from around AD 100 to AD 300 and they are not and were not intended to be read as books of fortune telling dolled up as "prophecy" for the heretics.

Yes there are many Vedics, Buddhists, Hindus who would certainly concur with you that revelation is a description of the Kundalini moving up the spine toward the brain and pineal gland.

one of the anti-semitic, neonazi thugs from Svoboda said that Ukraine was being run by a Moscovite Jewish mafia.

He may be a shithead, and he may even be dangerous, but on this matter, he is not incorrect.

In a sense, there is a colorable argument that international, organized Jewry has been at war with both the Russian and German people for the past 100 years.  That's certainly not the dominant theme here, but the amount of Jewish actors in the governments, media, think tanks, and banks, is absolutely stunning.

A good way to disprove this kind of antisemitic {cough cough} conspiracy theory would be to demonstrate that the Jewish oligarchs in Russia are fundamentally opposed to the core goals of the Jewish oligarchs in Ukraine, or that the oligarchs within those states are themselves divided.  Then, you would basically be showing that, while there's massive over-representation, there isn't a cohesive monolith calling the shots one way or another.  

 

You feel me?

Ukrainian forces prepare provocation against Russia in Donetsk 

Russian military uniforms and fake IDs of Russian officers have been taken to the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk to stage an attack on Ukrainian border guards, a Ukrainian law enforcement official told RIA Novosti Tuesday on condition of anonymity. "The task is to stage an attack on Ukrainian border guards by people dressed in Russian military uniforms and make a video of it," he said.

Is CIA now using the German Nazi playbook and trying to stage a Gleiwitz false flag incident?

Tue, 05/06/2014 - 16:55 | 4733517 gcjohns1971

No.

The same people are using it  now as used it the first time.

The SS playbook, along with a lot of the SS apparatchiks were coopted by the Soviets in East Germany, where they became known as the Stasi.

They now work for Merkel.

Assertions are easy to make.  But this ought not be so hard to figure out indepenedently.   Just ask, "Who's it good for?"

The US could maybe buy another few months, or maybe a  year or two more as the Reserve Currency by ensuring Europe has more diversification in its energy supplies.  And it could keep the support of the Gulf for a while longer if it ensured they were the source of the expanded supplies.  But not much more.

No.

Just look at each aspect of this and ask, "Who gets the most benefit from this?"

Who gains if Ukraine divorces Russia?

If this escalates, and the US appears impotent, the EU will demand a Continental Army (actually they were voting on it a couple of weeks ago).  Who gets the armament contracts?

If Ukraine is part of the EU, who gets the low-cost skilled labor from expat Ukrainian workers?

Who gets the expanded energy supplies that travel through the Ukrainian pipelines?

Figure it out for yourself.  The answer is obvious when you ask the age-old question: QUI BONO?

International Criminal Court Requested to Investigate Odessa Pogrom

Dr. Levy also expressed concern for the survivors of the pogrom and the families of victims who are under threat by both government and fascist elements in Ukraine. The ICC was requested to appoint a Special Counsel for Victims to ensure that witnesses and victims are not further persecuted by Ukrainian fascists.

Perhaps this is in part - what the hell is going on there: 

In addition to the requisitioning of crops in Ukraine, all food was confiscated by Soviet authorities. Any and all aid and food was prohibited from entering the Ukrainian republic. Ukraine's Yuschenko administration recognised the Holodomor as an act of genocide and pushed international governments to acknowledge this.[148] This move was opposed by the Russian government and some Russophile members of the Ukrainian parliament. A Ukrainian court found Joseph Stalin, Vyacheslav Molotov, Lazar Kaganovich, Stanislav Kosior, Pavel Postyshev, Vlas Chubar and Mendel Khatayevich guilty of genocide on 13 January 2010.[149][150] As of 2010, the Russian government's official position was that the famine took place, but was not an ethnic genocide;[148] former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych supported this position.[151][152] A ruling of January 13, 2010 by Kyiv's Court of Appeal declared the Soviet leaders guilty of 'genocide against the Ukrainian national group in 1932–33 through the artificial creation of living conditions intended for its partial physical destruction
