How The Ukrainian Government Is Giving Away Citizenships So Foreigners Can Run The Country
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
I hadn’t written a single piece on the U.S.-Ukraine-Russia quagmire for the entirety of 2014, until Monday when I published: Tensions Between the U.S. and Russia Are Worse Than You Realize – Remarks by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Now I can hardly think of anything else.
The reason the geopolitical hot zone has so captured my attention is because I think we are much closer to a serious escalation than most people want to admit. I hope I’m wrong, but when I take a step back and look at what is being said and done under the surface, an incredibly dangerous tinderbox is now firmly in place and ready to be lit. We know from history that relatively minor catalysts can lead to unimaginable horrors. I fear the stage is set for some real nastiness, and hope cooler heads can prevail on both sides.
Claims that the new government in Ukraine is nothing more than a Western puppet Parliament have been swirling around consistently since February. Nevertheless, I think it’s very significant that the takeover is now overt, undeniable and completely out in the open. Nothing proves this fact more clearly than the recent and sudden granting of citizenship to three foreigners so that they can take top posts in the government.
At the top of the list is American, Natalie Jaresko, who runs private equity fund Horizon Capital. She will now be Ukraine’s Finance Minister, and I highly doubt she will be forced to pay the IRS Expatriation Tax (one set of laws for the rich and powerful, another set of laws for the peasants). For Economy Minister, a Lithuanian investment banker, Aivaras Abromavicius, will take the reigns. Health Minister will be Alexander Kvitashvili of Georgia.
The Wall Street Journal reports:
Ukraine’s parliament appointed a new, pro-Western government that includes a U.S.-born finance minister to take on the job of staving off financial collapse, overhauling the shrinking economy and ending the armed conflict in the country’s east.
The new cabinet includes Finance Minister Natalie Jaresko, the chief executive of a private-equity fund and a former U.S. diplomat, as well as two other nonnatives: Economy Minister Aivaras Abromavicius, a former investment banker from Lithuania; and Health Minister Alexander Kvitashvili, who held a similar post in Georgia.
Ukraine is dependent on the International Monetary Fund for financing, and officials and analysts say it will need more than the current $17-billion program from the lender.
Two senior EU officials said Tuesday that the IMF has in recent days shared a rough estimate of $15 billion in financing needs for Ukraine through the first quarter of 2016, although that could be revised as fund officials negotiate with the new government.
Shortly before the voting in Kiev, President Poroshenko signed a decree granting Ukrainian citizenship to the three foreign-born candidates. He said the dire economic situation meant Ukraine had to look for people outside the country with experience of dealing with “systemic crises.”
Valeriy Voshchevskiy, deputy prime minister for infrastructure and ecology, said he wanted to privatize state holdings such as the railway and road-building monopolies.
This is where American financial oligarchs will get paid. It’s all about looting at the end of the day, as always.
Some analysts praised the inclusion of outsiders in the government as a way to tap foreign experience, insulate against corruption and help push through unpopular economic overhauls. But opposition lawmakers slammed the decision.
“We don’t understand why from 300 coalition members and 40 million people [in the country], 10 minister candidates couldn’t be found who’d be Ukrainian citizens or at least ethnic Ukrainians,” said Yuriy Boiko, head of the Opposition Bloc and a former energy minister.
In a sign of early discontent, some lawmakers from the ruling coalition questioned the creation of a new Information Ministry, dubbed the “Ministry of Truth” by some journalists amid concerns that it could create another expensive layer of bureaucrats.
The newly appointed minister said earlier that it will be needed to counter Russian propaganda.
I don’t know much, but I know that people don’t like being ruled by foreigners. Ever.
Bearing that in mind, a bill known as H.Res.758 was recently introduced in the U.S. Congress. Here’s the full title: H.Res.758 – Strongly condemning the actions of the Russian Federation, under President Vladimir Putin, which has carried out a policy of aggression against neighboring countries aimed at political and economic domination.
Here’s how a summary of the bill starts off (click on the image for the full summary):
This isn’t well intentioned diplomacy, these are demands. The last bullet point is particularly laughable. The U.S. government admonishes Russia for interfering in Ukraine’s internal affairs (a nation directly on its border), when Ukraine just granted an American private equity manager citizenship so that she can be Finance Minister. The hypocrisy will not be lost on Putin, or anyone else for that matter.
The danger of this bill was highlighted by former U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich. Here are some excerpts via TruthDig:
U.S.-Russia relations have deteriorated severely in the past decade and they are about to get worse, if the House passes H. Res. 758.
NATO encirclement, the U.S.-backed coup in Ukraine, an attempt to use an agreement with the European Union to bring NATO into Ukraine at the Russian border, a U.S. nuclear first-strike policy, are all policies which attempt to substitute force for diplomacy.
The Western press begins its narrative on the Crimea situation with the annexation, but completely ignores the provocations by the West and other causal factors which resulted in the annexation. This distortion of reality is artificially creating an hysteria about Russian aggressiveness, another distortion which could pose an exceptionally dangerous situation for the world, if acted upon by other nations. The U.S. Congress is responding to the distortions, not to the reality.
Tensions between Russia and the U.S. are being fueled every day by players who would benefit financially from a resumption of the Cold War which, from 1948 to 1991 cost U.S. taxpayers $20 TRILLION dollars (in 2014 dollars), an amount exceeding our $18 trillion National Debt.
Based on all I have read and observed, I’d have to say I generally agree with the conclusions of Mr. Kucinich.
Finally, I want to end the post with some very important words from Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer. They were published in the article, Crumbling Oil Makes Putin More Dangerous:
Russian President Vladimir Putin is being pushed “further into a corner” by falling oil prices, leaving him little option but to continue his aggression toward Ukraine and confrontation with the West, Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer told CNBC on Tuesday. Putin has “gone all-in on an anti-U.S., must-keep-Ukraine nationalist engagement,” Bremmer said on “Squawk Box .” He said it’s “completely inconceivable” for Putin to back down. “This is what is behind all his approval ratings. It’s behind who he now is as a leader,” Bremmer said, adding that capitulation would “erode a lot of his power.” Russia’s currency and economy are crumbling along with oil prices, the country’s main export and revenue source. On Monday, the ruble suffered its worst one-day decline since 1998, and it looks like Russia’s economy will tip into recession next year. As the ruble tumbles, what will Putin do next? “I think that lower oil prices simply squeeze him harder, pushes him further into a corner. He feels he has to fight as a consequence.
This echoes sentiments I expressed in my piece Monday. I wrote:
Lavrov also describes the negative impact that this behavior has had on the Russian psyche generally. He expresses dismay that the U.S. status quo sees the world as unipolar, and attempts to tackle every problem from the perspective that might is right. In no uncertain terms, Lavrov makes it clear that Russia will not stand for this. I don’t think the Russians are bluffing, so this is a very dangerous situation.
The U.S. establishment is used to bullying around anyone it wants and getting its way. This will not happen with Putin. It appears that the U.S. is attempting to put so much pressure on Putin that he does something reckless and loses all support on the world stage. I can’t stress enough how important, and dangerous, the current situation is, as Putin is"

Can Ukraine take McCain and Nuland off our hands?
And, apparently, a few foreign citizens are needed to run Ukraine's nuclear plants.
Foreigners "will be" running the country????
WTF? Foreigners, whose true home lies in the Eastern Mediterranean, already are running it. Hence the disappearance of the gold.
...now that's what I call executive action on immigration.
Demand #2: "Full control of its international borders"
I'm sure Obama can help with that one! He's done a bang up job here on that score.
If the Ukie trolls on ZH are any indication, the average Ukie is too stupid to tie their own shoe laces, much less pretend to run a country.
On a different note, it is obvious to anyone, except the rabid putin haters and dumb fuck Ukies still proclaiming the Maidan Revolution (tm), that the Ukraine is occupied by the USSA with EU stooges sucking Obama dick. In a country of 45 million (and shrinking) the Piggyschenko could not find any qualified candidates, except foreign puppets?
At least they have the right national anthem:
Slava Ukrainja,
we are not yet dead. (ROTFL!!)
http://www.metrolyrics.com/ukraine-anthem-text-lyrics-national-anthem.html
According to Ukrainian laws dual citizenship is not allowed, but she has two years to renounce her US citizenship. Or, she could do as the Jewish terrorist Igor Kolomoisky did and garner citizenship in three countries as a work around.
They been Goldman'ed just like Greece and Italy with Investment Bankers brought in to openly raid the public purse for the bankers.
Now, Where's the Fucking Gold?
The US ruins the world to rule it.
The Statists/Satanists who move this machine dont see this Ukranian situation as a crises that has gotten out of control, but as an opportunity created by their destabilizing actions, to extend their power at the expense of freedom and well being for everyone else, with the human costs in suffering deemed irrelevant.
As Obamas Zio in Chief described it, dont let a good crises go to waste.
One day there will be no more nations gold to pillage, and like the London gold pool of the 60s, this firesale will end. In the meantime, its a gold buying party like its 1999.
"Can Ukraine take McCain and Nuland off our hands?"
Hey....sweeten the offer a little bit and they can take me off your hands. Y'all can pay the Kenyan's debt. Blonder pastures await.
.
Too stupid to tie their own shoe laces? LOL
Seriously though, that could be said for most of the 'western' nations.
The CIA keeps a stable of such "leaders" for just such occassions.
Think Iraq and Chalabi....
Like 'ladies in waiting'.
We naturalized some folks...
When will all the foreigners finally leave, who run THIS country?
http://www.amazon.com/American-Holocaust-The-Conquest-World/dp/0195085574
That book you linked is a pile of Cultural Marxist bullshit.
Read about the Icelanders who went to colonize/trade in Greenland... Pioneers. They had better boats (!!!) and household goods than the people they met there. When night fell, they would be attacked and killed...
Same thing in Central and North America. The natives wanted your stuff, be it a knife, a musket...
The line between pirate and merchant-trader was tremendously thin. Meaning, it was commonplace that if you could not get something through trade, you thought about ways to TAKE what you wanted...
More than 50% of the deaths were due to disease. Europeans brought the wheel and pulley. Equal trade?
Deaths due to deseases were not just caused by a genetic and biological vulnerability of Native Americans against to date unknown germs, but because of dramatic change of their diet, malnutrition, starvation, stress and dramatically changing environment (many were deported into areas which were inhabitable for European seddlers) which impacted their immune system.
At least that "holocaust" was real.
An American, not US subject.
Here's a videos of a Jewish Hollywood director directing the the other "holocaust" before the war even ended.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJFvDQwDKFw
H.Res.758--I suggest this was initiated by AIPAC(at least)
Original: "unpopular economic overhauls"
Translation: "We will steal everything thats not tied down. Even the stuff thats tied down, we will steal, but give us time."
Vichy DC's "Project Ukraine" is now complete. All that's left to do is loot and leave.
"The US get what they want—a full-scale, bloody civil war in the Ukraine with the liquidation of the remnants of the economy and the state, and the collapse of communal and social services. The territory will be plunged into the Stone Age in a matter of days.
The USA is hoping that, having finally formed ‘the Ukrainian people’, it will forever separate Russia and Ukraine. In addition, they know that the restoration of normal living conditions for the survivors will have to be done by Russia and the EU, which should tie up the resources of Moscow and Brussels, creating a competitive advantage for Washington."
http://slavyangrad.org/2014/11/24/project-ukraine-complete/
For their sake, I hope Natalie Jaresko and the others speak flawless, fluent Ukrainian.
... you know, those Ukies are so picky about language, they just might drop cluster bombs or phosphorus on them if they don't speak it correctly
.
Funny because back in March when Yulia Tymoshenko was recorded raving about how ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine should be incinerated with nuclear weapons, she was speaking Russian.
http://vineyardsaker.blogspot.com/2014/03/yulia-tymoshenko-wants-to-nuke...
Odd how the Yatzis in Kiev speak Ukrainian when they appear in public but revert to speaking Russian in private. Such stunning hypocricy, you'd think they were 'american'.
I vote for sending all Ukies who want to leave to Detroit. They should feel right at home with the locals.
Total cock Stooge, Ukrainian culture, language is different. The Ukrainians have voted to be part
of Europe and not part of Russia. Ukrainians have had enough of Russia bully boys for the last
100 years. And before you harp on about 'right wing coup' assisted by the USSA to get rid of an elected
president Yanukovich, the man is just a Kremlin stooge, a corrupt one at that who did what his master told him to do.
The Ukrainian people were formed long before Washington and the Kremlin ever existed arsehole !
Dumbest post in a long time... keep going, you guys are doing just great !
What with Kiev's new (non-Ukrainian) Minister of Truth, we should soon see better funding of Ukie trolls, and maybe even an inprovement in their quality.
Sure, and Porkyschenkos can fly!
Still, you can't beat the low cost of viedoklis_Latvian S.S.R.: one day of trolling for one potato.

Made me laugh. The capacity of Kievan Yatzi propagandists to think their cheap propaganda is impervious to all observations is amazing.
Maybe time though to realize that the Kievan Yatzi propaganda has sunk so low nobody gets bambuzzled by it. Too old, not good enough quality, already debunked, not enough renewed...
Time for propagandists to spend resources to build up a better propaganda. But they would conflict heads on with a fact they know: it would be spending rarer and rarer resources on something unreal. Big, big troubles for Kievan Yatzi propagandists...
Hopefully the propagandists can set such lofty standards as yourself Stooge.
Please. The same thing has been happening in the U.S. for years.

2 American Special Forces soldiers killed in Ukraine recently, apparently by Ukranian troops. Kiev asked for a cease-fire so they could recover the bodies, and once done the cease-fire broke down. Translation isn't that good. (Link below is Yandex, not a phising site)

Thanks for posting this slightly weird story.
If you're going to dress up American mercenaries in Russian army uniforms, it's not terribly surprising that they got shot by Ukrainian troops.
Like the song says, the first casualty in war is the truth.
A swan as black as a brand new Klashnikov.
WSJ would like you to believe that Russians can't even take a walk on the street or talk to their neighbour without possessing USD.
And it's gone..... Only this time we mean your nation AND your gold, AND your money, AND your resources.
Hmmmm, and now the "Liberty Blog" is towing the Russian line too? not much devotion to liberty in that.
Gosh, with oil in the tank, I wonder where the Russian State will get the money to fund its propaganda outlets?
Be gone nebbish...
Get your popcorn now, this is gonna get funny.
The reason the geopolitical hot zone has so captured my attention is because I think we are much closer to a serious escalation than most people want to admit.
Close to a "serious escalation"?... Nah!!!!
Gee Mike...It almost sound as if you care? What made you change your views so quickly? Been reading Paul Craig Roberts, William Engdahl and Michel Chossudovsky lately???
From the 180' of separation in your last write-up shedding your indifference because you DO REALIZE how profoundly serious the situation is and that if Americans collectively don't manage to move beyond their own problems we might have something happen with this crisis of our own making withthe current cast and crew of psychopaths at every tier of our government in the Nation's Capitol that will make it "irreversible"!

Putin does not do anything impulsively. More pressure on him may result in another asymmetrical response, but it won't be knee-jerk. Congress doesn't know what it is doing. As usual.
"Congress doesn't know what it is doing. As usual."

That's some bad ass objective reporting by Mike Krieger. "At the top of the list is American, Natalie Jaresko, who runs private equity fund Horizon Capital." Nothing else to add?
Jaresko was born to Ukrainian immigrants to the United States. Father is from Poltava, and mother is from Ivano-Frankivsk - both are very well-known Ukrainian cities. Since, 1995, Jaresko lives and works in Ukraine. From 1992 to 1995, she was the first Chief of the Economic Section of the US Embassy in Ukraine, responsible for strengthening economic cooperation between the two countries. Between 2005 and 2010, Jaresko was a member of Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko's Foreign Investors Advisory Council and the Advisory Board of the Ukrainian Center for Promotion of Foreign Investment under the auspices of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
Has two daughters, both of which were born in Ukraine and currently live there with her and attend to Pechersk International School in Kiev.
Yes, but those inconvenient facts spoil "Mr. Liberty's" propaganda points. So they are omitted.
The purpse of the article is not to inform. The purpose is to generate a desired opinion cosistent with Russian interests.
Which are?
I have my issues with Mike "Numbered List" Krieger myself, but I don't see how the updated information on Ms. Jaresko changes anything. Actually, it reinforces it. She's been working for the US operation in Ukraine for over 20 years. She worked for Yuschenko's regime, which was installed with US clandestine and overt assistance, and immediately set about looting the place. The looting became so over that Yuschenko and his former crony, Tymoshenko "The Gas Princess" had a falling-out over the swag, wiith Ms. Tymoshenko was eventually imprisoned, saucy braid and all, for theft too brazen to be tolerated even under modern Ukrainian standards. That's saying something, considering the sad past century that poor nation has endured.
So, after living in Ukraine for over 20 years with her family, Ms. Jaresko only now decided to adopt citizenship? So she could take a post where the opportunities abound to fence whatever of value is left in Ukraine for the benefit of the global extraction machine? Heck, the average Ukrainian can only envy the Greeks by now. At least the Greeks aren't being slaughtered by various mercenaries.
Yeesh, what a disaster.
Here are some facts which was omitted by your fellow patriot to give a desired opinion consistent with US plagued media disinformation campaign .
Ukraine's new Finance Minister Yaresko (ex US State Dept) works at Horizon Capital, who fund Yatsenyuk Foundation .
https://twitter.com/robinmonotti/status/539900809262428161
She works for her master USA, she isn't "Ukrainian" even if she have the nationility. I just see a whore here (along with the two other one).
Isn't he merely highlighting the Israeli model of usurpation? There are distinct parallels there with the Israeli infiltration of the US government.
To be fair to you, Ukraine's new economy minister is from Lithuania, and the new health minister is from Georgia. It seems like there aren't any Ukrainians left for the top jobs in their own government.
a CIA puppet
OFFICIALLY SPREADING PROPAGANDA NOW .
Poroshenko's pet project of 'Ministry of Truth' shows how Soviet mentality still has very toxic presence among Ukraine's political elite

Amazing she didn't work for the squid............Gods Work you know............
The Uke's deserve what they get. Only scum worse than Nazi's is bankster Nazi's. They're gonna think Russia is a bastion of freedom and prosperity after the banksters lay waste.
Hell, I'd go over and help them out, but I'm allergic to Nazis.
But if they can get that shit cleaned out, I'd volunteer.
Allergic to Nazis? Don't fret.
The Obama administration has a pill for that.
wow they really fucked up this country for ever
Ukraine another USA whore along with Japan ? How many US state now 52 ? 53 ? 69 ? Geez can't remenber...
BTW, they won't recorver the economy all the wealth is in Eastern part, the Western part have nothing only collapse (with their UAH) is their future.
You got raped your gold, by IMF loans and now foreign agent in key position, well done Ukies.
"Natalie Jaresko, who runs private equity fund Horizon Capital. She will now be Ukraine’s Finance Minister"
She did a fine job exploiting and embezzling in a thuggish group that thrives on racial hate (again, another winner for the economy as the Kievs pointed out) that the Ukraine has bright horizons right around the corner.
No seriously, if she's selling loans to a group of losers and she did well- how else would that happen?
It's gonna be a merry joyous christmas for those who are not U.S. taxpayers. (that $5 billion could've gone back into the pockets of wage slaves who are now taxed at 20% for barely breaking the lower middle class tax barrier)

You're a Fucking Lunatic, post'n that shite! An assault on all the senses there..Fuck I feel poisoned!
LMAO - this is already getting beyond ridiculous. Are there any Ukrainians "in charge" left in Ukraine? I guess not... there's your independence, EU-kraine... I guess they were much more independent under those terrible Russkies, at least they had some say... now they've become just "advisers" in their own country... but wait yet for the IMF "help" in the form of massive social cuts to kick in... that's still upcoming.
Would you take a position in the Ukie-Nazi junta, looting the place for the benefit of the global bankster oligarchs and the dogs of war, if you had any stake whatsoever in Ukraine? You'd either have to have balls of steel, a massive private army adamantly loyal to you, massive delusions, or a combination of the three. Such people are usually so obviously insane nobody would let them run anything. That leaves non-native puppets with already-prepared bolt-holes for when, sooner rather than later, a hasty escape is required.
" The U.S. establishment is used to bullying around anyone it wants and getting its way. This will not happen with Putin. It appears that the U.S. is attempting to put so much pressure on Putin that he does something reckless and loses all support on the world stage. I can’t stress enough how important, and dangerous, the current situation is, as Putin is"
I have to say, this guy has gotten very close to the truth of the situation. Though he admits Russia/Ukraine is not a subject he is well schooled in. The USA is playing with fire here, they really are pushing Russia into "red line" territory. The great skill with which they carried off the Kiev Maidan Coup is a credit to the CIA and the years of ground work they have done with Galician fascism and the ultra nationalist Ukrainians. Without Galicia, the radical fascists are a small minority, but given the province of Galicia is a western outpost, and openly Nazi, it offers the USA a stong base from which to exercise it's radical nationalist Ukrainians. Again, believe it or not, these are a minority, in a straight up nationwide fair election, they would fare badly. But when the world's sole super power is your support base, do not understimate the Oligarch's, many Israelis, and the radical right wing, together they have real power in Kiev.
Historically, East Ukraine is Russian and always has been, in what we call modern European history, 1700's to now. The USSR put these Russian and Crimean areas into Ukraine as part of internal Soviet politics. As Ukrainians held power in the Party as primer Khruschev and Leonid Brezhnev. Not to mention Stalin who hated all things Russian, and killed many millions of them who were too nationalistic.Along with Ukrainians.
Galicia was pro Nazi in 1940 when it was taken by Stalin as part of the Polish settlement with Germany. This province has been a CIA base camp during USSR times and Nazis got special support after the USSR ended. Sadly, all the problems now stem from the Soviet Union and the World War II settlements. Simply put. Galaicia should be independent or part of Poland. Kiev should be center of a Ukrainian state. East Ukraine should vote on it's future and the world should respect the people's vote.
Why is this solution impossible? Because NATO want's all of Ukraine including the Crimea. For all the reasons I have pointed out before. We, as Americans, are not allowed to know what the Neoconservative rulers in Washington really have planned. But my guess is they sense US power slipping, economy sinking and dollar hegmoney under threat. To establish American in a power position strong enough to rule the world for another 100 years, given the rise of China, the USA must cripple Russia, or split it up and use puppets to rule it in US interests. That is the goal. Russia needs to be eliminated before Neocons move east to where they believe the real threat is, CHina. NATO is being used to eliminate one rival at a time, while China sleeps, Russia will be crushed, by every dirty trick in the book. SO, this guy above is right, we face a very real threat of NATO and Russia being dragged into war. MH-17 proved what Kiev and the USA are prepared to do to get a trigger event. And yes, it was shot down by two Ukrainian SU-25's, and, notice total information black out about MH-17? And notice Malaysia was bared from the central investigation group into the shoot down. Now that tells you something. Why does the Black Box sit in the Untied Kingdom, they had nothing to do with this event! MI6 has 24/7 access to the Black Box. Hmmm. I wonder, can we trust them.
Be prepared for anything. Obama and McCain seek war, and a gentle push in the wrong direction, Putin will give it to them. Does he want to? No, does he have a choice if Washington and Kiev stick to the genocide plan? Not really. World War is a real possibility given Obama is more insane than Bush. Obama was put in the White House by the elites to gain the Liberals support for world war, as we already know Republicans support a war on Russia, now all Americans involved in politics can be trusted to back a war on Russia.
I'm going to take a wild and completely uninformed stab in the dark here and blame Zbigniew Brzezinski. That guy, along with Henry Kissinger and the more recent addition of Paul Wolfowitz, has been running US foreign policy since Kennedy. And what are his hallmarks? The characteristic insane hatred of Russia, overweening pride and faith in US military might, a fascination with undercover wet-work, and utter ruthlessness, lack of conscience, and any measure of introspection.
What has the US been doing globally for about 40 years, since Brzezinski's signature move of setting up the Afghan Mujahedin (with the help of CIA asset bin Laden, O.) in the late 1970s? Trying to suck the Russians into their own Viet Nam (Brzezinski's words at the time, not mine), and generally sap the Bear. So, all around the periphery of Russia, and more recently China, select likely nations to be destroyed. Pick a nation with exploitable internal divisions, find the very worst and most intransigent elements of those societies and fund, train, arm, and egg them on to commit the most heinous of crimes, and tear apart civil society. Voila. A ring of flaming dumpster fires along the perimeter of our foes; Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and now Ukraine. Or wherever or rivals make investments as the Chinese do; Libya, Sudan/Darfur, Somalia. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn of CIA money going to the Uighur separatists either.
It's not a coincidence that Peter Sellers' "Dr. Strangelove" was a dead-ringer for Kissinger, no matter what he and Kubrick maintained. And Brezinski is worse; he's the stupid, ill-mannered version of Kissinger.
I agree. Kissinger, Zbigniew are the real longer term glue. The President (any president) is just a talking voice. That is why people like Hillary view State as a stepping stone. They are telling the real power of the US that they can be trusted and relied upon as a pawn.....
They are playing Obama's leadership insecurities against Putins expected response. Distraction of the month being played out.
Nulend and her cookies are just morons to hide the real players...
"and a gentle push in the wrong direction, Putin will give it to them."
Putin has been shoved, kicked, bitch slapped and spat upon. Unless Russia's borders are crossed by a uniformed army he will do nothing. He has done nothing. If he is playing chess he is sitting alone in the corner by himself playing chess.
Putin sells gas to WUkraine at a discount.
I am starting to wonder if they are getting ready to shoot down a russian jet. If they shoot down just one and Putin stays true to form and refuses to act, then those who hope Russia will counter the west will lose hope and Russia can be pushed back at a faster pace.
>>>Obama was put in the White House by the elites to gain the Liberals support for world war
Quoted for truth. The Nobel Peace Prize was a particularly nice touch.
Yup, it's lootin' time for Ukraine. Apparently they've never heard about the rootin' tootin' lootin' that the Russians fell victim to in the late 1990's, courtesy of the good ol' USSA. Well, it's certainly been my experience that folks don't learn from history; hell, they don't even study history anymore. We're getting close to nuke time, from what I am gleaning and I can't say I didn't see it coming. Our slimeball "leaders" are taking us there and with the decision to ignore MAD, we're all toast.
This was the arrangement when CIA Director John Brennan appeared under cover in the Maidan (except for the pix the FSB got of him in drooling borscht on his tie) with a couple of briefcases full of freshly printed $100 dollar bills to guarantee Deputy Secretary of State for Protests, Coups, and Acquisitions, Victoria Nuland's, unrefusable offer.
The US would support the coup in the Ukraine and gift to the Ukrainian crooks, all the newly printed money that Nuland had dispersed to them, for the consideration of CIA lackies and lickspittles being appointed to high government positions so the West could surveil and watch the nazis and other crooks it had installed in the Ukrainian government.
The United States would continue to "'own' Ukraine until all its assets, resources, and/or anything of value had been stripped from the heroic citizens of Ukraine, " was the exact wording of the understanding
Jaresko is bilingual in Ukrainian and English. She received her master's degree in public policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government in 1989 and a B.Sc. degree in accounting from DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois in 1987.
I know of Chicago Boys, but Chicago Girls is a new one!
Here's a nice read from Yves on the new "finance minister".

Now this one from Congress is a pure gem! You just cannot make this shit up, can you? USA has truly lost its plot...
I'm sorry I upvoted you. This righteous hypocrisy is ancient history.
Stop knocking foreign born, dual citizens holding high government positions,
Where the frack would the US and you dorks be without Stanley Fischer as Vice Chairman of the Fed?
He sent the New Israeli Shekel to the moon and soon the the US dollar will be joining it there.
Object matrimony.
Curious how Fischer appeared at the Fed just around the same time as Janet Yellen took over. More hanky panky from the Obamas?
Nah.
What gets me is that how dumb are these Ukrainian people.we live in a internet world where the people can jump on the internet and gather enough evidence and make a conclusion about the situation.it is not 1917 where their was just 1 newspaper circulating around the town and that was your only information.
why havent these people read about the nuland tapes,how the cia has spent 5 billion dollars,how the people that they are fighting are coalminers and locals,how the nazis have hijacked the revolution,how they are being used as fertilizer for the donbass,the corruption,the gold scandal,and hundreds and hundreds of bullshit things that are happening.
cant they gather some of this information spread the word that they are being used and as a group say fuck this shit where not being lied to anymore or do something
i am dazzled by all of this
Why doesn't everybody look up the bullshit they're being hoodwinked by? I'm guessing they're all aware of the information you cite, but choose not to believe it, because they're being spoon-fed exactly what they want to hear. That somehow they will personally benefit from, and be protected by, their shiny new overlords. And that the alternative is too terrible to contemplate. In the case of the Ukrainians, fear and loathing of Moscow is not the most unreasonable thing I can think of. I do think that handing over the keys to the global bankster cartel is even more stupid than trusting Putin, but I have a longer, and different, personal and cultural awareness of what the global finance monster is up to than they do. Hell, a lot of people I've met from overseas think they understand America because they've been to Las Vegas. (Actually, I know a few Americans who think that way, too.) Compared to what they've seen close-up from Russia, they're easy prey for the line of bullshit the "pro-Democracy" banksters are dishing out. Plus, and you can't overlook this, a lot of Ukrainians were so enthusiastic in their ruthlessness they actually freaked out the German Nazis during WWII. Those people's children and grandchildren are still thinking the same way.
Actually there's quite a bit of truth in the Vegas = America analogy: massive phoniness, top-down control by the 0.01%, a broad underclass trying to hold onto meaningless jobs, and willful self-deception by transient rubes: "My Inner Self is a High Roller."
Historically, much of the Vegas shit is not typical of the country, but it seems to be the blueprint for America's future (if it has one).
as american born and living - and having spent so much time here, i find that the majority of the people here dream about 'vacationing' in disneyland and/or vegas and given the lottery winning would have to choose between spending their life in one or the other.
outside of the coasts - disney/vegas is the american dream, the choice is your depth of 'morality'. the 'moral' ones think disney is fine and vegas is sodom and the honestly immoral think disney is boring and vegas is heaven.
the true majority of them aspire to this.
AND THAT is why usa is where it is today. and it is not going to change anytime soon.
the american people that post here are a very varied sort in terms of the background, age, occupation but most have one thing in common. they are exceptional individual in that they attempt to think for themselves.
if that were not the case, clinton/bush/obama would not have been elected (and re-elected) presidents. etc. and nobody would be watching some fat ass moron on tv.
Russia's budget by 50% consists of income from oil sales. Oil Russia sells for dollars. When oil was $ 110$, dollar cost 30 rubles, hence a barrel of oil cost 3300 rubles. Now the dollar 53 ruble, the oil 70$, hence a barrel of oil is 53*70=3650 rubles, so from falling oil prices the Russian budget does not suffer.

I personally don't see what the problem is... we have been run by foreign entities for a hundred years... if not longer.
what are germans thinking, the bis is trying to get another trilion out of them, won't give their gold back, and is starting ww111 at your back-door.
excuse me front-door, with all the nato bases.
their funding neo-nazi in southern europe, and ukraine, their heading north, at a faster pace, ie. isis, (bis funded).
with this overt action, i can see more resistace coming from the east.
why aren't people screaming in the press how the ukraine govt. is killing 1000's of their citizens.
this is no different than if a republican is elected president in 2016, and the majorities stay the same, they start cutting ebt cards off in blue states, and sending in the military to control the citizens.
if there's any resistance, kill them.
