Obama To Sign Off On Lethal US Aid To Ukraine By End Of Week, Russian Response To Follow
As we reported over the weekend, in the tumult surrounding Citigroup's annexation of Congress with the passage of the theatrically dramatic $303 trillion derivative quid-pro-$1.1 trillion spending quo, what most missed is that Congress also unanimously passed the The Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014, which not only expands Russian sanctions (read the details here) but far more impotantly, provides "lethal assistance to Ukraine’s military." And as we explained, passage of this law is just the pretext some Russian legislators needed to push for a full-blown, preemptive military incursion in east-Ukraine.
“The decision of the US Senate is extremely dangerous. If it is supported by the House of Representatives and signed by their president, Russia must reply with adequate measures,” Mikhail Yemelyanov of the Fair Russia party told reporters on Friday.
"It is quite possible that we should return to the decision by our Upper House and give the Russian president an opportunity to use military force on Ukrainian territory preemptively. We should not wait until Ukraine is armed and becomes really dangerous,” the lawmaker stated.
Yemelyanov also noted that in his opinion the US Senate’s decision to arm Ukraine had revealed that Washington wasn’t interested in the de-escalation of the Ukrainian conflict. He then said that US actions gave him the impression they was seeking to turn Ukraine into some sort of an “international militant targeting the Russian Federation.”
“In a few years Ukraine will turn into a poor and hungry country with an anti-Russian government that will teach its population to hate Russia. They will be armed to the teeth and Ukraine and US reluctance to recognize the Russian Federation within its current borders would always provoke conflicts,” the MP said.
Furthermore, we asked if "this means that what was a lingering proxy cold civil war in east Ukraine between NATO-armed Ukraine troops and Russia-armed Separatists and local militias is about to escalate into a shooting precursor to something greater? There is still hope an all out escalation can be avoided" and we cited White House press secretary Joshn Earnest who last week said that "the administration hadn’t finished reviewing the language and isn’t ready to take a position on the legislation. He said the administration wants to ensure that the U.S. and its European allies are working together, that any sanctions are effective and that they minimize harm to U.S. and European companies. “This is delicate work,” Earnest said."
Apparently, not delicate enough, and moments ago we got confirmation that the epic collapse in the USDRUB is just a jovial preview of the main event. To wit:
- OBAMA DOES INTEND TO SIGN RUSSIAN SANCTIONS LEGISLATION:EARNEST
- OBAMA LIKELY TO SIGN SANCTIONS BILL BEFORE END OF WEEK: EARNEST
And with that, US "lethal aid" will shortly begin arriving in Kiev, which in turn will be just the pretext needed by Sergey Lavrov and the Kremlin to escalate the recent events in Russia as a direct attack by the West, and to demand retaliation against a US president who "does not reason" as the Russian media will appeal to the population in an attempt to "rally round the flag", and as a result Russian tanks may have no choice but to enter the separatist territories in East Ukraine.
What the western, and certainly NATO, response at that point will be, is far beyond our meager prediction skills.

You know for the term cold war, shit's getting hot.
watch the israelis decide to jump on iran now too
This is getting out of control and we'll be lucky to survive it.
Ukraine is deeply bankrupt.
What good are rockets when people are cold, starving and furious?
This can only be to deeply destabilize Russia's borderland, and sap Russian resources.
What good are rockets when people are cold, starving and furious?
Banksters and MIC make a shitload of money, that's what. They wants us all dead anyway, so it's win-win for them.
Our leaderes are maiking these decisions based on only the best propaganda:
August 18, 2014, by CNN Wires,
KIEV, Ukraine (CNN) — Civilians, including women and children, have been killed in an attack on a caravan of refugees in Ukraine’s eastern Luhansk region, the Ukrainian military said Monday.
The civilians were trying to escape fighting between pro-Russian rebels and the Ukrainian military but were not in an established humanitarian safety corridor when they came under fire, a military representative said.
The civilians were being escorted by the Ukrainian military from the towns of Khryaschuvate and Novosvitlivka when they were attacked at 9:40 a.m. local time (2:40 a.m. ET), the Kiev-recognized Luhansk Regional Government said.
A government representative confirmed that there had been “heavy gunfire” in the area and that the victims had been unable to call for help as mobile phone towers were down.
Ukrainian Col. Andriy Lysenko told CNN that “terrorists” had attacked the caravan with guns from Russia.

Wow, read the sanctions list. We have to be the most hypocritical fucks in the world. One of the reasons for further sanctions to be employed? Cutting off gas supplies to NATO countries. WTF?

Re. America shipping lethal aid. President Putin, FM Larov, time to roll to Kiev and rollback the 1954 border change. No one can blame you now.
Never Forget - Victoria Nuland-Kagan, most likely a child sacrificer herself, got this horrendus event rolling.
Ah! I just found the civil defense plans I stashed on building a fallout shelter.
Nothing says Nobel Peace prize, like sending arms abroad and trying to start another war.

> One of the reasons for further sanctions to be employed? Cutting off gas supplies to NATO countries. WTF?
'Cause they are "entitled" don't you know. "NO Trade with Russia", (unless it's for something the West needs, that if Russia says "no" it's "Warfare")
Hardly surprising seeng how deep the sense of entitlement runs in the Western population.
As Kleptocrats drive us to ruin
The war I'm expecting is soon
Once lethal aid
To Ukraine is made
The tanks will be rolling by June
the water is getting bit hot, said the frog.
Russian military gear works in Russian winters. NATO stuff - not so much. US stuff - it only works in the most favorable conditions.
Barack Obama is a complete fuck-up.
And now he is playing with fire.
Come on, man- if you think this is a Barack Obama thing. He's merely an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill.
Does that somehow make obama any less a piece of shit or any less responsible for this mess? Fuck him.
Well, just for shits and giggles. If Oboinko had a spine and did a complete truthful act,he would somehow get a unfortunate visit of who knows what. Does he want that, i think not. He knows that no doubt. They all do.
He'd no doubt have his own "JFK Moment".
The "good side" of the "Presidential job" is that you can live a life of relative luxury at the Taxpayer's expense, including being seen as the notional "Head" of the USA
Tha "bad" side of the job, is that you are told what to do and maybe even say, and the people doing the "real management" are people who do NOT tolerate "own thought" unless it's entirely pre-approved - by "them".
A little like a News Anchorman - told basically what to comment on, with very little real latitude. If the anchorman says the "wrong" things it'll be a bad career move. If the "President" says (or Heaven forbid, DOES the "wrong things"), it'll be an "unfortunate accident" with State Funeral.
I would think that he had a choice to run for the presidency, No?
Any person that runs,and is afraid of the JFK moment shouldn't be there.
will this screw up obama tee time
Obama is an eminently blackmailable ZWO puppet. Nothing more.
The syndicate could swap Harper for Obama for any of the other puppet client state mascott managers and it wouldn't make one bit of difference to the global serfdom in situ.
So what are the Amerikan people going to do to stop WW111, thats right absolutley nothing ,we could start to bring down the electric net or other inferstructure to make it very hard on the regime to keep things going but no we will just wait untill Russia does a nuke strike and then pertend Russia was the start of all this. We have been set up to fail and this is all about destroying the American people its all about getting the guns the last road block to the NWO , once we have finished killing each other which we will ,they will just mop up. All this is just theater.
A nice little deception, should be a great little proxy war except they never stay small.
What the fuck is this stupid cunt Obama up to now.
What the fuck are the puppet masters telling that stupid cunt Obama to do now?
FIFY.
I wonder if they call him "boy".
They call him Mr. Tibbs.
More like Mr. Fibs.
That one should stick to him like stink on shit.
Obama is ZIO House Nigger (just as Shrub was, and just as Billary will be).
"Yes, Mrs. Nuland-Kagan, I will wipe your ass with my tongue, Ma'am. I gots to get the check from U.S. Taxpayer-Serfs for Netanyahu, first though, massa'."
Nudelman, fixed it for ya' TIS
What are they telling Obama?
"Our brilliant strategy has Russia on the ropes. More and faster, please"
trying to golf?
They already DID provide leathal assistance to the Ukraine military, when they helped covering up the murder of 298 people on board MH17. And NO we will not forget.
298 people, who had plenty of time to be terrified as the plane was hit and took an 180 degree turn before the pilots were shot to minced meat and the plane broke up. PLENTY OF TIME. Remember that every time you hear a self-salivating politician quip about "terrorists".
I do not even have a word for the loathing these "halo polishing" people deserve. One thing is for sure - until they have facilitated a proper investigation and fully transparent publication of the findings, they are no less terrorists than the "gents with pants cut above their ankles and somewhat unruly beards".
I'll admit to a bit of self-salivating myself.
I'm making Kim-Chi and the ginger-garlic chili paste is stanky. A little of that fish sauce goes a long way.
Der Wife is not a fan so I'll be salivating for her too.
Good Ol' Shoe!

The lethal aid Obama has offered is limited to Sony email accounts.
Am I the only one who thinks that Russia already responded?
Elaborate.
Putin has been digging into his southern flank since 2008. As of last year, he has dominance over the Black Sea. How does one march to Moscow?
Increasing troop numbers in Crime for a start (though still within the original "agreement". http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/special/2014-09/16/c_133648032.htm

Finally - http://rt.com/news/211411-putin-state-address-top10/ "Remember the lessons we taught Hitler" . . . . . .
There isn't anything funny about any of this except that Tyler is on the front page of RT.
http://rt.com/business/214779-russia-ruble-drop-record/
I am more interested to find out what Putin really meant in that speech a few weeks ago when he hinted at making public certain technologies US and Russia each new the other had. Also have been getting the feeling that Russia is using the current Ruble bloodbath to buy up all foreign held currency before announcing they switch to a commodity / PM backed currency. I will be the first to admit that I really have no good comprehension of the whole game though. I really doubt even the highest in power have a complete grasp of everything going on so I am not alone.
Zero-point energy technology is a badly-kept secret. The west and China want to keep it secret in order to continue repressing their citizens, and maintain the geopolitical control an oil economy affords. Russia wants to keep it a secret because their economy is so overwhelmingly dependent on oil and gas. The fact that Putin is threatening to unleash it is almost a "nobody move or the nigger gets it" kind of threat. But hey, it worked in Blazing Saddles.
I don't know why, but I find it depressingly hilarious that things like the possible start of WWIII can be explained by your last 2 sentences. So zero-point is a reality, but nobody wants to publicly admit it until they have a complete control system in place for their population?
If zero-point is a reality, I would think a country like Russia with abundant land and mineral resources (and most importantly, fresh water) would be the first to unleash it. Sure they would not be able to control their population, but the opportunity for growth non-dependant on electrical grid infrastructure would be enourmous. I guess I dont' see things from the criminal pyschopath point of view though.
ZPE / "Vacuum Energy" is one of those things that refuses to die, despite the obvious perceived thermodynamic issues. A useful one of the very many sites "out there" is Overunity.com (http://www.overunity.com/ ), which is a great source of interesting links, if nothing else.
All interesting stuff, and as always, one always wonders if the better - resourced are already a way ahead of the home experimenters.
Man, those people are real DUMB
I really have no good comprehension of the whole game though
None of us do. All the dirty shit goes on in back rooms, and the plebs are not permitted to know about it.
Do you think the people pulling the strings of USSA have a complete grasp of the situation though? I'm still not sure there is only a single game going on. Seems to me it's like 20 basketball teams in a gym with 6 different courts all trying to play each other at the same time. If it is really nation vs. nation and not one big orchestrated attack on liberty world wide, I think every country is in over their heads right now and maybe not even aware of it. Time will tell I guess.

A good book to read to understand just how corrupt and insane a politically run country gets toward the end is Albert Speer's "Inside the Third Reich".
The Russian response will be lethal, for the US$.
He wanted to be remembered for something, seems he finally hit on it.
I still remember the kid who pissed his pants in kindergarten. This is similar.
haha a kid shit his pants in my class in the 8th grade, and when he did he cried and said 'its not my fault, it wa the meatloaf' everytime i see him or hear about him, thats all i think about. mentioned this to a couple friends, they all said the same thing.
As others have pointed out, the grand choosing of sides has begun in earnest. Looks like the Europeans are going to have another war, funded by the global banksters and between the US and Russia / China.
Et tu, Turkey?
We keep pushing like this and it will eventually come to our shores. American arrogance is sickening, and it will be our downfall.
A common misconception at the beginning of many wars is that they will be fast and decisive. The problem with starting WWIII is that it may, actually be fast and decisive. Fast, as in, no matter how long it has gone on and no matter how many great battles have been fought, it could be ended in an hour at any given time. Decisive as in everybody loses in that hour. It is Dec 16, and it is literally possible to start WWIII today and have it over by Christmas, no matter how determined all sides are.
For anybody who wants to invade the US in a hypothetical WWIII, that would be a logistical nightmare. But nukes? They're ready and waiting to go. One just need give the order. To our shores indeed.
Yep, oceans aren't exactly the "force fields" they once were. Not sure our so-called leaders understand that fact.
There are not very many people who have a living memory of what a nuke will actually do anymore. The energies released are unfathomable to most people, and thus they need to be faced with them in real life. I've known two people who were on site for tests. One got to watch the Trinity Shot, and he was ancient when I met him, and another was on the Hood Shot, and he's ancient now. Somewhere I have the written firsthand account of the Hood Shot. Nothing classified, mind you, just the impressions of "HOLY SHIT, WTF!" from him. He brought up wondering how many animals had died in the blink of an eye that night. That was 74kt. The mainstay of the US nuclear arsenal is 300kt-475kt. The current Russian arsenal would be somewhere between 100kt and 550kt. They don't use the 20mt monsters anymore, because you can get the same effect of one 20mt warhead with a few 500kt warheads for a lot less Rubles if your accuracy is good enough.
Most of the shots from "Trinity and Beyond", which I just re-watched last night on amazon.
The ultimate nuclear test.
What those videos don't give you is the visceral impression of what it is like to know that you are witnessing a small nuke go off, and it would take you 45 minutes to walk to ground zero, and 30 minutes to walk across the destruction zone.
Seeing as the nominal maximum US to Moscow ICBM flight time is about 30 minutes or less ( https://www.armscontrol.org/act/2005_11/NOV-ICBM ) if all parties were to make a "determined effort" WW3 would be functionally over in a few hours, for all intents and purposes.
How well would "we" cope after a significant exchange? http://www.uow.edu.au/~bmartin/pubs/82cab/ Maybe "Life, Jim", but certainly "not as we (currently) know it" . . . .
Turkey will be the pray, the price. Funny, i think the Turks are even realising this, but can not do anything about it.
IT'S MADNESS.
The term 'American' should rightfully be seen as an insult, and I say that as an American.
PLEASE stop confusing those jackasses inside the beltway with Americans. It's insulting.
Unfortunately, I don't think most people outside of this country differentiate between the two groups. And honestly, why should they? Have we burned DC to the ground yet? Why not?
Our apathy makes us complicit.
"Our apathy makes us complicit."
QFMFT!
This government is supposed to be of the people by the people. (Well, sort of, but you get the point.) We're supposed to control the government. Tell that to the MRAP.
Not to worry. This is simply Dear Leader Obama performing a technology transfer to the Russians. Dear Leader will make sure that the fully functional weapons end up in the Russian's hands. Remember, Dear Leader is "more flexible" now that the elections are over.
Yep. Putting some Iranian stooge to work in Sydney sure brings that meme into people's consciousness. Iran bad, Israel good, Merry Christmas, happy hannukah.
@infinite QE
Yep ... did you see the guy with the ''clip board" ... he was just beyond the jump-out-boyz when they threw the flash bang and busted in ... no lie saw it several times on msm...he had a suit and tie on ... standing there watching the show like nothing dangerous was going on
So when and where will we see the false flag terrorist attack blamed on Russians instead of muzzies?
Good point. MOssad is up to it's lips in Ukraine. They have been a main support for Nazi Western Ukraine centered in Lvov. The CIA and Mossad both nurtured the radical right since 1945, this is the force that carried out the Kiev coup.
Israeli Oligarchs are part of the Kiev Junta's ruling elites. Israel has plans for Ukraine, but as you say, Iran is their real target.
Sun Tzu in the "Art of War" says never put your opponent in a position where they must fight. Always leave them an option that allows them to retreat and cede the battlefield to you with minimum damage to all concerned. Obama has probably never even heard of Sun Tzu much less read the book. Good old stuck on stupid is going to get a lot of people killed. "I'm good at killing people." - B. Obama
The one honest thing that motherrfucker has ever uttered.
He's good at having other people kill people. He, himself, is probably not good at killing people. Complicit? Yes. Honest? No.
After the Ferguson thingie, Obama is probably still half way through reading Uncle Tom's Cabin.
The goals is obviously war.
Ukraine isn't at a loss for lethal aid. the videos of shelling of civilians shows this. they are at a loss for enough people to fight for a cause they don't believe in. It is more a band of neo nazi militias with disparate ukrainian military on one side on behalf of NATO and the west, and ethnic russians living in ukraine fighting on the other. Let's get this clear and straight.
This thinly veneered lie is just an effort to make war and to all the guys saying we're all in for it. YOu're right.
Excellent point there. Indeed, Ukraine has arms, plenty. What they don't have is a large motivated army. Only the Nazi Battalions are motivated, and they are horrible soldiers, who the rebels have defeated repeatedly.
Russia's 'response' will probably be another 6,5% hike in interest rates.

"What we see now, is a cruel battle with time. On the one hand, Russia and China, together with the rest of the BRICS, are trying to get rid of the dollar and form their own currency system to gain complete independence, on the other, the neocon banking-corporate puppets in the US are in panic and seek desperately a pretext to come to war with Russia and put an end to this threat for their plans. This explains their agony to drag Russia into a warm conflict."

On the other hand, does that really matter for us .
there will be no winners...only losers
There is no Dana, only Zuul.
In case that the neocon clowns decide to risk a nuclear conflict with Russia, it won't matter. Forget the planet earth.
"""" US "lethal aid" will shortly begin arriving in Kiev""""
Yes it is already on its way
Of course, no strategic move is ever announced until its a fait accompli.
Santa is bringing us all WWIII for Christmas.
The US is truly desperate now to throttle the BRIICTS leader, this is
getting more dangerous than the Cuban missile crisis,a lot more.

Nukes in Crimea? For what purpose. Is Crimea really that much closer to targets?
I thought those lethal weapons have already been delivered to Ukraine a few days ago.
Isn't that why Kiev closed those three airports for a few days?

Late Thursday night, the House of Representatives unanimously passed a far-reaching Russia sanctions bill, a hydra-headed incubator of poisonous conflict. The second provocative anti-Russian legislation in a week, it further polarizes our relations with Russia, helping to cement a Russia-China alliance against Western hegemony, and undermines long-term America’s financial and physical security by handing the national treasury over to war profiteers.
Here’s how the House’s touted “unanimity” was achieved: Under a parliamentary motion termed “unanimous consent,” legislative rules can be suspended and any bill can be called up. If any member of Congress objects, the motion is blocked and the bill dies.
At 10:23:54 p.m. on Thursday, a member rose to ask “unanimous consent” for four committees to be relieved of a Russia sanctions bill. At this point the motion, and the legislation, could have been blocked by a single member who would say “I object.” No one objected, because no one was watching for last-minute bills to be slipped through.
Most of the House and the media had emptied out of the chambers after passage of the $1.1 trillion government spending package.
The Congressional Record will show only three of 425 members were present on the floor to consider the sanctions bill. Two of the three feigned objection, creating the legislative equivalent of a ‘time out.’ They entered a few words of support, withdrew their “objections” and the clock resumed.
According to the clerk’s records, once the bill was considered under unanimous consent, it was passed, at 10:23:55 p.m., without objection, in one recorded, time-stamped second, unanimously.
Then the House adjourned.

“And with that, US ‘lethal aid’ will shortly begin arriving in Kiev, which in turn will be just the pretext needed by Sergey Lavrov and the Kremlin to escalate the recent events in Russia as a direct attack by the West, and to demand retaliation…” – Tyler Durden
Pretext? ZH is saying delivering “lethal aid” to the Kiev junta is not justification for retaliation by Russia to protect her people in Ukraine? The bottom line is, if there’s going to be a war over Ukraine, it is in Russia’s zone of influence and Russian armaments including tactical nuclear weapons and the size and power of the Red Army would dissolve the Kiev assault. What the U.S. is reallly doing is putting all the Ukrainian people at risk for its empire ambitions.
“Washington’s real target is and always has been Russia: with their nuclear arsenal and deep spiritual antipathy to the West, the Russians pose the biggest threat to the Americans’ unipolar conceit.
“In this sense, the cold war never really ended. There was a brief interruption immediately after the Soviet collapse: Boris Yeltsin’s drunken rule gave free rein to outright criminals who "privatized" Russian state assets and turned the country into a oligarchic basket case. However, the emergence of Vladimir Putin signaled an end to the looting and set the country on the road to some kind of order – and a fresh confrontation with the West.
“Who or what can stop the American Borg from destroying and assimilating everything in its path? While we can’t know the future, what we can know is that such a purely destructive course cannot be indefinitely maintained. Something’s gotta give, as the old song goes: whether it’s the financial time-bomb ticking away at the heart of the American Empire or some other catastrophe, natural or man-made. For the sake of the long suffering peoples of the earth, let’s hope it comes sooner rather than later.” – Justin Raimondo, November 05, 2014
