Poroshenko Tells US Congress "Russia Has Invaded Ukraine, Need Lethal Aid" - Live Feed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

In a passionate speech to a joint meeting of Congress, Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko dropped some tape-bombs:

  • *POROSHENKO SAYS RUSSIA `HAS NOW INVADED UKRAINE'
  • *POROSHENKO SAYS UKRAINE `URGENTLY' NEEDS LETHAL AID
  • *POROSHENKO WARNS RUSSIANS WILL NEXT CROSS EUROPEAN BORDER

Supported by rounds of applause by US politicians, Poroshenko called for the US solidarity and to lead the offensive against Russia as they "fan the flames of war." Stocks dipped (but recovered) though PMs are higher still.

  • *POROSHENKO SAYS RUSSIA IS THREAT TO GLOBAL SECURITY
  • *POROSHENKO: AGRESSION AGAINST UKRAINE IS SETBACK FOR DEMOCRACY
  • *POROSHENKO SAYS `WORLD CANNOT ALLOW' RUSSIA'S BEHAVIOR
  • *POROSHENKO SAYS RUSSIA RESPONSIBLE FOR MALAYSIAN AIR SHOOTDOWN

As Bloomberg reports,

  • “I urge you not to let Ukraine stand alone,” Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko tells U.S. Congress.
  • Calls aggression against Ukraine setback for democracy
  • “It is very simple: democracies must support each other”
  • Requests special security agreement with U.S.
  • Says Ukraine “urgently needs lethal and non-lethal aid
  • ‘‘One cannot win the war with blanks”
  • Warns Russians will next cross European border
  • War against Russia “is Europe and America’s war, too; it is is a war for the free world”
  • Calls Russian annexation of Crimea one of the “most cynical acts of treachery in modern history”
  • “Imperialistic bonfire” still burns in Russia

The market reacted...

 

But stocks bounced back...

Perhaps this is why Poroshenko is so desparate for US involvement.. his economy is collapsing...

As The FT notes, Ukrainian industrial production slumped 12.7 per cent in August (and 21.7% YoY), underscoring the immense challenges facing the country's economy and the mounting risks for the $17bn International Monetary Fund programme.

Putin promised $15 billion to Yanukovich plus cheap gas plus cooperation for Ukrainian manufacturers.

Why can't the Congress match Putin's offer? And match the next year too. Is it difficult to print a few billions more to support freedom and democracy?

The wests master plan - a work in progress:

There is just one moon

and one golden sun

and a smile means friendship to everyone

though the mountains divide 

and the oceans are wide

 

Its a world of laughter and a world of tears

Its a world of hopes and a world of fears

there's so much that we share

that is time we're aware

its a small world after all ....

 

Yes we CAN!

I like the way you think, mister. How'd you like to run a for-profit FEMA relocation center? I'll be keeping an eye on you.

Poroshenko:"[Russian] AGRESSION AGAINST UKRAINE IS SETBACK FOR DEMOCRACY" and "Warns Russians will next cross European border"

Day after day we are fed a relentless stream of accusations that Russia has already invaded Ukraine and is now about to invade Europe. Yet the accusers from Eboma-to-Cameron-to-Poroshenko never produce one shred of credible evidence to support their allegations. Surely if Russia was about to invade Europe, somebody there would be making war preparations. I see none of that.

It's like Poroshenko & his puppet-masters are playing a video game or taking too much LSD. Nothing is real. It's all fantasy.

The new face of Russian aggression in Ukraine: there are no actual invasions, no physical tanks, no physical planes bombing anybody, no troops with boots crossing borders. Just political statements of imaginary events. And Poroshenko needs lethal weapons support from the USG to fend it all off.

Hey Smacker, The reason there is no evidence is that the Russians during the USSR days built deep, deep, underground tunnel networks across the border and all over the Ukraine to move military hardware. So, not even US spy satellites can pick up the 50,000 Russian troops 10,000 tanks and artillery pieces that enter normal warehouses thousands of miles away and then secretly pop up all over the Ukraine and kick the shit of of their troops then just disappear back into the their holes!

Thanks for that Tigermoth. God damn it, why didn't I remember that. It was all over the press at the time. Now I remember, those crafty Russians also built some other tunnels which go direct from Moscow Military HQ and surface right under Mutti's office in the Bundestag, Berlin. Imagine that.

When the US investigates Ukrainian corruption, will they look into Poroshenko's dealings?  Hunter Biden's?

In the old days, the King spent his wealth to defend his right to rape and pillage his people.  Poroshenko should spend his $billions, especially as his media and energy holdings will be the first to be naitonalized should he lose.

I wonder whether ZH users get money directly from KGB or via a subsidiary, or they are idiots for free.

McStain no doubt has had a raging 3-hour+ bird perch (slo-mo eagle). No blue bill needed. Oh wait...

 

They ship the jobs overseas and the comedy to DC. Oh the iron-curtainy.

Another parrot of USA.
It is USA which is trying to start the World War 3 and using its puppets to say what it likes to hear to find an excuse , but for what?
Grab Russian resources & make money so keep American economy up.
But the chimp brained Homo-drug-addict-Obamma fails to see that in the event of a war the nuclear disaster may happen.
