Photos From The Ukraine Civil War: Casualties Reported In City Of Lugansk After Fighter Jet Attack
Considering that even German publication Spiegel is now reporting that that "Vladimir Putin has won the propaganda war over Ukraine and the West is divided", it is hardly surprising that western coverage of the Ukraine civil war has ground to a halt: without a coherent agenda, the western propaganda machine is unsure of just what the right angle is in its coverage of Ukraine events, which is why as in the case of last summer's Syrian conflict coverage, the "free media" has simply decided to push back events in east Ukraine to the page 8, if cover it at all.
Unfortunately, for the locals in the separatist regions, while the west may now chose to simply close its eyes to the consequences of its intervention the civil war is all too real and deadly: as RIA reports, there were multiple casualties after a fighter jet attack struck the eastern city of Luhansk. "The assault was followed by heavy gunfire on the ground, causing panic among civilians." RT has more:
At least five people have been killed in the attack, according to RIA Novosti. Many wounded are still trapped inside the administration headquarters, which caught on fire. The death toll may rise.
The building façade has been seriously damaged. The wounded are being evacuated from the administration HQ. About six ambulance vehicles have arrived at the site.
Large blood stains inside the HQ could be seen on live-streaming video from the area, with pieces of glass and stones also visible on the floor. The camera operator was choking with smoke. On the outside, many windows are shattered, shell fragments covering the nearby area and dark plumes of smoke are coming from the fourth floor.
“The fire has engulfed the third and fourth floors of the building, and the windows have been blown out. There are shards of glass everywhere. I saw paramedics carrying people out of the entrance,” a witness told RT.
Minutes earlier, heavy machine-gun shooting was reported in the center of Lugansk, as fierce fighting between the local self-defense squads and Kiev forces renewed after a brief truce.
Kiev officials were quick to deny that Ukraine had launched a fighter jet attack against its own people: something which caused a quick and violent condemnation of the former Ukraine president and his even more prompt ouster.

So what is really going on in Lugansk? The following just released pictures should provide some perspective.

That guy going to war with a double barrel shotgun? Very Bidenish.
Gaddafi using fighter jet bombers on civilians was the entire excuse NATO used for their Libyan kenetic humanitarian aid.
You have to love our leaders, using that excuse to then launch cruise missiles and remote guided air drops over the population.
This might be perceived as bad taste, but the economic results of this conflict could be very positive for both Ukraine and Russia. Government spending has sharply increased in both countries since the beginning of this conflict, which is already reflecting in GDP. I'll be very interested to see the growth figures for these countries as the battle progresses.
Hardly a civil war with Russian troops on the ground
Silky: Looks like a single barrel 10 gauge to me that I'm trying to identify by its barrel sling attachment.
And the aircraft has to be that one SU-27 Ukraine still has flying.. for now.
BTW: The guy with the shotgun is definitely the same one lying dead in the stair well.
Or FBI, CIA, and a host of mercenaries from the west and perhaps a certain apartheid state?
They may be russian by ethnicity, but they aren't part of the regular russian forces and no doubt have lived where they are fighting for longer than the folks shooting at them have.
Congrats on being a mongoloid.
Blame Canada! Blame Canada!

No doubt!
we sent several canoes and several dozen ballistic jean jackets, thank you very much.

our resident fuckwhistles in ottawa are toeing the appropriate western line much to my eternal embarrassment.
The guy in the foreground in photos 1 and 6...I don't think this is his first "conflict".
"ballistic jean jackets".. LOL
hopefully they will get their bread helmets soon.
They also sent their best trained K-9 unit:

The guy with the shotgun ended up dead. There is a reason the AR-15 and M-4 are popular. Lead on target, sniper capability. Get a AR-15 or at least a Mosin, 308, or 30-06.
I think those guys got what they got. IF he worked for someone like, oh I don't know, academi, he may have access to the cutting edge but those guys fighting for their people don't have access to the same printing presses and arms that the imf / nato side does ( officially and otherwise ).
for the people that say there is russian support, there is not, when will come they will have at least some AKMs
A Mosin is cheaper than a shotgun. No reason to have a shotgun out on the street.
Vintovka Mosina.. Da!
https://www.google.com/search?q=vintovka+mosina&client=firefox-a&hs=j1q&...
Love it.
But it's a tragedy the poor guy was so foolish to go out in the open against multiple shooters armed with AKs
If you watch the kill shot you will see he was safely in numbers. He was looking through a scope at the sniper who shot him.
Feinstein told me that's a sniper shotgun with an automatic 30 bullet stripper clip capable of shooting down satellites.
No one needs that for hunting.
As long as it doesn't have an aluminum receiver...
Unless it's a Mossberg of course.
(see my rant below)
Silky: Looks like a single barrel 10 gauge to me that I'm trying to identify by its barrel sling attachment.
I would be incredibly surprised to see a single shot 10 gauge... Looks like a standard, run of the mill 12 to me. 10 gauges are for assholes like me who hunt in fields and don't want to bother trying to judge distance. I've seen a 24" barrel, but most are 26-28" and are noticeably thicker than a 12 gauge... I also sincerely doubt that a 10 gauge would be a combat effective gun simply because they tend to have heavier barrels and parts due to recoil (even the best gas operated 10s that weigh 11+ lbs still give a noticeable kick)... I would also think 10 gauge ammo would be exceedingly rare on a battlefield.
I wouldn't be man enough to pull the trigger on it if it was a 10... which is not something you want to bring into combat.
Take a good look at it - has an exposed hammer and no tubular magazine (or detachable box magazine). Only place to store rounds is in the single chamber.
Yes, a 10 guage would not be a very efficient weapon in open warfare for lack of range. If it is the only gun available, it is better than throwing stones or weilding a knife.
vampy, it was not the choice of weapon, it was when you use it. a knife works well in the right setting...but most of us do not have the will /grit to use them, and thats a good thing.
Shotgun shoots down ducks.
Migs are like big, fast ducks.
Therefore, shotgun good AA weapon.
PS I went to public skool.
Macho: 10 gauge are for assholes.. And your point being???
That SU attacked with flairs and chaff? I never saw any ordinance drop, just countermeasures. Perhaps a fat-finger.
it doesn't really matter what is doing the shooting, they're still shooting at civilian areas and people getting killed.
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=856_1401717090
judging by this grisly footage it did more than deploy countermeasures.
Doesn't look like it was the jet
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3b5_1401730009
LOL that shotgun guy is totally the dead guy. Biden's advice strikes again.
Just what exactly caused you to "LOL", asshole.
definitelly the same person
gross video warning.
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a85_1401695185
The guy's mistake wasn't hunkering down. In his efforts to survey the other sider he got his hair parted with a bullet. Definitely sad though.
Ouch! Blew his wig off! Was that from sniper fire or a random shot?
Interesting footage from the Luhansk 'Air strike'. You can make up
your own minds.
http://ukraineatwar.blogspot.nl/2014/06/staged-attack-with-rpg-from-tree...
Riiiight...
How about this one then...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3wBXkR0rJ0
I'd say "phuk u" to whoever thinks this was some bogus inside job. That blast to me was way too big to be from a RPG, and as far as it nt matching what "rockets" firing from a sukhoi look like, can we please have a list of all available munitions said plane can be equipped with?
ALso they say a MAN-PAD wasn't fired, but my guess is that at least one was, which is why the plane released flares. We've seen that these freedom fighters have the ability to down aircraft.
Either way that blog strikes me to be like the brown moses blog on syria - a bullshit propaganda hack who is funded by NGOs to peddle a consistent lie.
The truth is very hard to come by with both sides racking up the propaganda.
As usual its the innocents who get fucked. The second video doesnt provide
any defining answers. Not sure if the plane fired anything or if it was counter measures.
Hardly a civil war with Russian troops on the ground
Really, are you also on the ground to confirm that?
You can tell they are Russian military by that great equipment they carry right, like say that shotgun. I'm sure some Russians have come over the border to help, perhaps with assistance from parts of the Russian government. But at this point it's hardly a Russian military operation. Remember the pics from the forces in Crimea and compare to these guys. Not much in common.
Yes he is. On the ground in Kiev.
Indeed he's a journeyman wheelchair mechanic who is contracted to work on Tymoshenko the gorgon's ride who enjoys the free wifi.
see file photo from a concert where tymoshenko can be sen belting out her cover of "hair of the dog" by Nazareth. It isn't in the picture but apparently JOhn McCain was there and played the cowbell.

Hey MDB I'm sure Krugman agrees! Lotsa broken windows to repair(:-(
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone.It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.
--- Dwight D. Eisenhower
Eisenhower was a War Criminal
I think it needs your close-up personal attention, Boner.
You can get a flight to Kiev from Frankfurt 8 times a week.
Send us a postcard.
Yeah....dead guys can't flip burgers....
Actually, Qaddaffi didn't. Jen Psaki was clear when she said the problem was that Qaddaffi had the "potential" to use his air force (by this time Qaddaffi's forces were blowing the living snot out of the "rebels" and on the verge of retaking Benghazi). Ms. Psaki's defense I likened to setting a bar so low for the use of force, a cripple in a wheelchair could roll right over it.
THe West used old footage of a billboard full of victims of an accident in Libya with bereaved relatives around it and remixed it saying that they were victims of an air assault.
may God damn every last one of the folks who participated in the destruction of libya, as well as the people who did the number on Egypt, are doing the number on Syria, and are doing the number on Ukraine.
gaddafi yer yer
we had to protect the children thats how we roll.
yes sir rebob.
nobody talks of the us and nato depleted uranium and the billion years of cancer coming.
all for the brown kids.
a gift from rothschild zion
Better than a pitchfork! But Barry and Holder want gun control for the children.
Obozo wants peace for all now, the tv said so.
My kids have great gun control! Paper plates with open sights at 100 yrds;^)
You give that guy credit for an extra barrel, son. That is not a double barrel shotgun, but nice try anyway. He ends up dead in the stairwell....
I noticed that...
(was he even playing with a full deck..., maybe some camara man handed him the gun and told him to charge)
Thank goodness this could never happen where I live! Or could it?
If it could, and it bothers you, consider obtaining a battle rifle like a FAL, The Right Arm of the Free World, and everything to employ it in a fight for your life.
DSA
FAL-SA58 Tactical Para Carbine Rifle, 16.25" Fluted Barrel, SOCOM

Eventually, the hellish scenarios like Syria, Ukraine, Cairo, Iraq, Buenos Aires, Vietnam, Korea, Poland, Richmond, and the Draft Riots of New York City are likely to happen, again, even here in America. I would rather have a battle rifle and not need it, then need it and not have it.
Also, a helmet and rifle plates aren't a terrible idea, either.
No shotgun? My neighbor just bought one of those very nice Benelli semiauto 12 ga shotguns....sweet, indeed! I am not sure ever need one of those long range 308s or 223s.....but if you have a the spare cash they look nice also. However, being a Cheap Bastard all I have is an inexpensive Mossberg but it does the job if need be.
When they fire the same bullets a little dressing doesn't count for much.
Just like in automobile racing, the driver, or in this case the shooter, is 99% of the equation. Whatever you have practice, practice, and practice. I guarantee you when the SHTF no one will be looking at brand names on guns.
9 mm, AR-15, 308, shotgun, and Mosin Nagant 7.62x54 are all good weapons that can be had for under $1,000. Some for less than $500.
The Big-5 in my area is selling Mosin's for 150 bucks
"Everything's a battleground" but before that you have a Battlespace.
This is the ultimate game of poker not chess to me. How much money is on the table? What are the cards I've been dealt? What are the cards on the table? What am I losing if I walk away?
What am I getting if I'm all in?
If I were the. President I'd be inviting "the principles" (political leaders) over for a game...so everyone can get away from the actuality of the events on this "hallowed ground" but also so all of them can start to think "is the fame real too?"
A $2200 308 with just a 16 inch barrel on an aluminum receiver and the thing weighs NINE POUNDS!? Yeah right.
Better off spending about a fourth that on a nice Russian SKS (20 inch barrel, all steel, eighs nine pounds) and get some 30 round mags on it. (Yeah I know they need to be fitted)
The DSA FAL receiver is machined from 4140 steel, not stamped like the SKS. The FAL's .308 round is much more powerful than SKS' 7.62x39. You can choose from a large selection of barrel length and magazine capacity. DSA FAL is made in America.
SKS is NOT a stamped receiver.
Some SKS receivers are stamped, as are most AK receivers.
Regardless, dance with the girl that you brought to the dance, but do bring one.
I said a nice RUSSIAN SKS you mook!
Some Chinese Norincos are stamped receivers.
But go ahead and brag about having a $2200 308 with a barrel that's too short with a fast wearing aluminum receiver that weighs nine pounds.
That rifle is a joke.
But why do I bother?
I see that you are right about only the Chinese SKS being stamped. I am not bragging. I am offering an example of a very high-quality battle rifle (out of the box) for those with the means, a rifle with which I have much personal experience, a proven weapon that is most assuradly not a joke.
The SKS is certainly a good choice for folks on a budget, or those in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, where there is much ammo to be had.
"for those who have the means"
Your a pretentious know know nothing asshole
And stupid too for spending all that money on a joke of a rifle that you could have put into a nice collectable if you want to brag about how much you can afford like a dick head.
Here's a math lesson for you:
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iHWMOKNld-U/UGG7jp7Xo2I/AAAAAAABhi4/OFm21g7825...
Anything else you want to brag about now??
Feel better?
I'm just warming up..
To each his own. Here is a Russian SKS...
I hope you feel better.
AK-74 FTW!
Yeah great. BUT IT'S NOT CLEANED!!!
In fact I went shooting my "poor man's" Russian SKS today
And some pretentious asshole was out there blasting away with his aluminum receiver wannabe AR type POS when the whole thing split apart on em!
He couldn't figure out why it blew apart until I pointed out the old beer can labels could still be seen through the blueing.
Then there was this other asshole with a 10 gauge...
@Headbanger
hedgeless_horseman is far from being a pretentious know nothing asshole. Who in their right mind would want to trust their life to an SKS?
Really? An SKS is a perfectly decent choice. It's a reliable, durable, and accurate semi-auto battle rifle in a hard-hitting caliber and at less than $300 the price is hard to beat. Plenty of aftermarket accessories out there too.
Of course I'd rather have the FAL if given a choice but an SKS does just fine.
Here's an English lesson for you.
pronoun 1. (a form of the possessive case of you used as an attributive adjective): Your jacket is in that closet. I like your idea.
you're -- contraction of you are: You're certain that's right?
That's what you intended to say. But even that is still wrong, as you neglected an ending form of punctuation.
You might as well just bang your head against the..., oh, wait.
"...a barrel that's too short."
I have a .308 semi-auto with a 16.5" barrel (w/ pinned brake). Muzzle velocity (which I've measured) is sufficient to make it effective out to ~800 yards around sea level; far past the effective range of your average punter. A new suppressor for it adds another ~6 inches to the length, though I haven't had a chance yet to measure the impact on MV. Makes for a fine 800 yard semi-auto sniper rifle (shoots 1/4" groups with the right ammo).
You have no idea what you're talking about.
a bit beside the point methinks. At some point in the future you might be happy to stand on the streets next to a guy with a stamped receiver.
Me, I might be happy just to use it as a club. Asymmetric is as asymmetric does.
The great thing about the china SKS is it takes about 1 hour with a vice and a dremmel to make it full auto , so I have been told and seen it .
.
It breaks my heart to see this. This guy was probably just a poor farmer or worker who brought to the fight whatever he had available and gave his all... literally. God help his family that he leaves behind.
I wonder which side he was on. Presumably the Russian "tourists" would be better armed?
I wonder if he knew it was his day to die. I'd have to think so, the way he behaved. Some people have a death wish, or they are plain stupid. I wouldn't stand in the open like that with a belt fed weapon, let alone a fucking shotgun.
Don't be the guy with no concealment or cover with a single shot 12 gauge.
Why not! If I have no choice I would carry .22 rifle to fight my country.
Just make sure the 22 is a Ruger Takedown, with a BX25 round magazine and CCI stinger hollowpoints!
My weapon of choice. Pretty accurate out to 500 yds or so - with scope, more.
500 yards?? Put down the crack pipe. That's practically indirect fire range for a 22LR-- bullet drop is about 45 feet!!
Silky
if you look at he pants and shoes of the dead man in the stairwell and go back in the photos, it's the same person with the shotgun. It's all fun until you get shot in the face....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=km7QrKs_No0
link showing what happened to him
Fucking snipers.
During World War II on the eastern front, to be captured with a sniper rifle on you or near you, was immidiate execution. I expect the same will apply here. Better ditch that rifle if you fear capture. Once the killing starts, it stops being a game.
He's dead Jim.
Better than fighting with your golf clubs.
Tiger Woods went to war with a Swedish wife using only golf clubs. A real hero! Then again, I am Swedish, and I can easily imagine Tiger going after her with his clubs!
War Sucks..
This will not bode well for Petro P.
Kiev officials were quick to deny that Ukraine had launched a fighter jet attack against its own people
Who, then, sent a fighter jet?
Where then, did the fighter strike? Seems to be an overflight, no bombs fell...ya big civil war eh?? LOL
“Ukraine’s air force struck Lugansk downtown at 16.00 pm. Military aircraft made a targeted strike, deploying cluster bombs. The administration building is partially destroyed,” the government of the self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic said.
http://rt.com/news/163076-ukraine-lugansk-clashes-jet/
According to the live stream, the fighters jets are flying back and may be readying a new strike.

One jet overflew, the one you saw in video, next a second plane followed and launched the strike. It really is that simple to follow up and source what happened!
It was too quiet. Thank god something is happening.

Obama administration could not take any more damage over this, or Syria. The MSM seems to have just cut the feed. Amazing, huh?
i am curious why the media keeps coverign for this schmuck of a president, whats in it for them
Daily ass reamings. And if they stop toeing the line? Much, much worse.
White guilt aka tribe shoving ass in goyim's face.
He's Blaaaaaaaaaaack.
Because the liberal media is way up his ass, they cover for the traitor in chief, like a mommy for her son...sickening!
For the millionth time....it's not liberal media or conservative media....it's stooge puppet media...they work for the same people Obama works for
FOX and NBC both cheer when Obama bombs......
Only for the sake of illusion. It's better to keep the nation divided by offering a wide range of messages to choose from instead of having one giant megaphone blurting out one message.
Reporters keeping their jobs. They report what their bosses want reported.
Simple as that.
The "reporters" views are in line with that of their bosses in this case, so there's really no tension.
A non exploding car.
The reporters must shit themselves every time they turn the ignition key.
They play for the same team: Banks (the cartel of Prime Dealers who own the Fed) and Globalists who think they have a supernatural claim on any piece of dirt that they covet.
It's pretty clear that if they don't do as they're told, the DOJ will go after them.... ( I wish I were kidding )
Great field report on Ukrainian army @ sovietoutpost.redisk.org with photos.
Look and behave like "construction workers with guns".
From the photos you can see why they are failing over civilians.
If the Russian army were involved, these ragtags would already be dead.
No discipline, training or common sense.Canon fodder of the lowest quality.
redisk.org domain is available per GoDaddy. I think you meant http://sovietoutpost.revdisk.org/
Sorry , my eyes are getting beyond help from glasses.
Not enough dosh to hire Blackwater? Mere savages, chucking spears at the natives.
Academi is on the ground.
yeah that 5 year old being carried looks like an a big threat where a fighter jet is needed.
The MSM must have decided to report only when people on the Kiev side are killed. It cerntainly seems that way from news reports in the past week or so.
Seems to be a decided lack of interest in axe murders and setting bodies on fire with gasoline in Odessa. That sort of thing ruins the narrative of the loyal Nazi Ukrainians trying to save their country from the evil pro-Russian terrorists.
Expect a chemical gas attack from separatists against the loyalist forces. Maybe the second time using a false flag gas attack will be the charm to get boots on the ground.
Time is running out.
The Ukraine has had one week deley to pay the gas bills, IMF wants to see the East as part of the Ukraine before they send in the moneybags.
So they have to speed things up a bit.
Wonder if Putin will stand for this.
Putin, via Gazprom, has handed Ukraine an extension on their gas debt - looking like the good guy and wrongfooting the west yet again.
Same guy? Is it the same guy in pictures 3,6 & 9 (appears dead in 9)? Same attire, vest, physical features, and wrist bracelet.
That would be correct...you don't take a shotgun to a machine gun war, you lose!
Not sure machine guns are really going to help when they are having to try and shoot down planes with small caliber weapons. However, I do like the idea of posting pictures of "terrorists" with small caliber weapons vs. planes...good PR the pro-Russians.
I doubt a heavy machine gun could even down a fighter jet, unless it was low-flying and you popped off a lucky shot. Suspect anti-aircraft weaponry would be needed.
I think improvised vehicles managed to down quite a few jets in libya... Not things that I would consider to be anti-air proper... although there were definitely a few jet kills with aa.
That is also him being carried in #2 and #8.
Kiev Post: "Time for US to supply direct military aid to Ukraine"
Barely a day after winning the May 25 presidential election in Ukraine, billionaire Petro Poroshenko called on the U.S. to provide his beleaguered country with “direct military aid” and help “build up [its] armed forces.”
U.S. President Barack Obama is scheduled to meet with Poroshenko in Warsaw on June 4. He must know that Poroshenko will put a request for lethal military aid to him.
[...] In short, as Poroshenko understands, only if the West helps it acquire a strong, well equipped, well-trained army will Ukraine be capable of defending itself against Russian military aggression, whatever form it takes, and thus defeat Putin’s imperial designs, to the advantage of the cause of liberty the world over.
Hopefully Obama grasps the foregoing elementary political truth and this time grants the Ukrainian government’s request for lethal military assistance. If not, in his eagerness to minimize the use of military means to deal with the problem, he will unwittingly contribute to the perpetuation and perhaps escalation of military conflict in the region – with potentially dire consequences not only for Ukraine but also for Europe and the world as a whole.
yeah, Kiev regime forces are slaughtering their own people but according to the Kiev Post, it's "Russian military aggression" that's the big problem. Insane little Banderites.
The Kiev Post sounds like it was written by MillionDollarBonus.
Maybe MDB is a reporter for the MSM.
AC
Kyiv Post is terrible rag
The Strategic Culture Foundation warned in May that if Petro Poroshenko, “the US favorite rote son,” won the Ukraine presidential race, that the result would further split the country:
“Many regions refuse to recognize as President this chocolate king who is notorious for pocketing government money. Poroshenko has no chance to stop the bloody conflict even scrupulously carrying out all the orders given by Joe Biden, Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt. Besides, the mission of putting an end to bloodshed has never been set by his US bosses…”
SCF says of Poroshenko, whom “Forbes lists as the 130th richest Jew in the world with 1, 6 billion dollars,” that he is “one of the most odious figures in Ukrainian politics and heads the list of the country’s corrupted persons:
“Billionaire Poroshenko started his business by laundering the money of Soviet times’ administrators. He has never been an entrepreneur to start a business of his own. The story is invented. He made a head start thanks to the criminal connections of his father sentenced for large-scale theft in 1986. Having served the sentence, Poroshenko Sr. launched his own business making his son involved in the activities. The business was dirty, it all started with plundering state property by armed gangs. The Poroshenko family had plans to expand the activities beyond Ukraine. Tatyana Mikoyan, a well-known Kiev-based lawyer, remembers what the family did in Transnistria, ‘It was horrible back in the 1990s: illegal arms, prostitutes, drugs – all bringing profits to father and son.’ Poroshenko Sr. was awarded for his merits – in 2009 he received the Hero of Ukraine decoration bought for him by his son who paid to then President Yushenko, the Godfather to Petro Poroshenko’s children. The would-be President-elect is well known for misappropriating budget funds. He has the reputation of someone who knows how to make money out of thin air. Many times he has been accused of being involved in large scale corruption schemes, open lobbying, embezzlement of budget allocations, tax evasion, illegal operations to acquire shares and physically threatening political opponents and competitors. Certainly he is not just another swindler but a tycoon, an owner of huge and diversified business empire.”

Two good posts in a row! +100
Useless and sad.
None of this was ever necessary.
This is one set of Oligarchs trying to impose their will on another set of Oligarchs.
Look at the nature of humanity and weep.
A lovely bit of empathetic handwringing but most of humanity is doing fine minding their own business.
This was caused by the US sticking it's nose where it doesn't belong.
The result is always piles of dead people.
Don't blame 'humanity'. These instigators don't qualify.
I hit the gym during Jake Tapper "Lead Story" and sometimes Wolf Blitzer's "Breaking News" show, as the network is piped over the monitors. I can attest to the disappearance of the Ukraine story even as the situation actually deteriorates and the war escalates. Yes, Ukraine is still mentioned but it comes after whatever PR they have to give Obama (anytime he speaks on anything it's up front), then the LA Cliippers, some Hollywood scandal and an air crash or tanker crash or something.
Thanks US.
Paul Craig Roberts today reviews “What Obama Told Us at Westpoint.” Hint: It’s all about his and America's “exceptionalism.”
“At West Point Obama told us, to the applause of West Point cadets, that “American exceptionalism” is a doctrine that justifies whatever Washington does. If Washington violates domestic and international law by torturing ‘detainees’ or violates the Nuremberg standard by invading countries that have undertaken no hostile action against the US or its allies, ‘exceptionalism’ is the priest’s blessing that absolves Washington’s sins against law and international norms. Washington’s crimes are transformed into Washington’s affirmation of the rule of law.
“Here is Obama in his own words: ‘I believe in American exceptionalism with every fiber of my being. But what makes us exceptional is not our ability to flout international norms and the rule of law; it is our willingness to affirm them through our actions.’
“Actions indeed. In the 21st century ‘American exceptionalism’ has destroyed seven countries in whole or in part. Millions of people are dead, maimed, and displaced, and all of this criminal destruction is evidence of Washington’s reaffirmation of international norms and the rule of law. Destruction and murder are merely collateral damage from Washington’s affirmation of international norms.
«American exceptionalism» also means that US presidents can lie through their teeth and misrepresent those they choose to demonize. Listen to Obama’s misrepresentations of the Putin and Assad governments: ‘Russia’s aggression towards former Soviet states unnerves capitals in Europe . . . In Ukraine, Russia’s recent actions recall the days when Soviet tanks rolled into Eastern Europe .’ Obama misrepresents Assad as ‘a dictator who bombs and starves his own people.’
“Did any of the cadets in Obama’s West Point audience wonder why, if Assad is a brutal dictator who bombs and starves his own people, the Syrian people are supporting Assad instead of the American-backed ‘liberation forces…’”

Why limit the achievement to the 21 th century?
'American' exceptionalism has destroyed many, many societies, people around the world since it s inception and adoption by various other countries over the world.
The capacity of destruction is what makes 'american' people exceptional.
This is how they stand out on the humanity history stage.
So what?
Some 'american' middle classers are in fear they are going to be next?
Many were next before them. So what?
Perhaps there’s no better illustration on how you’ve missed the truth than when Americans were forced to choose their president between Barack Obama and John McCain.
For this illustrates how extensive the corruption of the political system and the government leadership circle has become. In fact, the loss of representative government took a major turn downward when the US currency, once a proud medium of exchange, was turned over to a private business. That action in 1913 began the systematic servitude of Americans and provided the fuel for the wars of aggression throughout the world.
The point is: Today’s America is not Thomas Jefferson’s America. This City on a Hill envisioned by Winthrop no longer exists thanks to the tyrants spawned by the Federal Reserve.
Anon has an axe to grind. Assuming he is a real person speaking on his own behalf of course. Considering his mission here has been pretty singular, it makes one wonder. Either way is sad.
'Americans' say: Winter is coming, grow the beard, chop the logs. It takes an ax for that.
Reducing the achievement of 'americans' to the 21 th century is framing. Gross framing.
Even though 'americans' are in demand for a fabled past (removing artificially 223 years out of the 237 years of exercize of 'americanism' provides that much needed fabled past), thinking that people who notice the not that subtle subterfuge must be on a mission or have an ax to grind show once again how much 'americanism' is all about submission.
Because complying with this type of extremelly gross manipulation demands total consent of the compliant side.
The consent of the governed as 'americans' say.
