Ukrainians Rage Against Military Draft: "We're Sick Of This War"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Justin Raimondo via Anti-War.com,

When Ukrainian army officers came to the Ukrainian village of Velikaya Znamenka to tell the men to prepare to be drafted, they weren’t prepared for what happened next. As the commanding officer was speaking, a woman seized the microphone and proceeded to tell him off: "We’re sick of this war! Our husbands and sons aren’t going anywhere!" She then launched into a passionate speech, denouncing the war, and the coup leaders in Kiev, to the cheers of the crowd.

 

What she did is now a crime in Ukraine: the only reason she wasn’t arrested on the spot is that the villagers wouldn’t have permitted it. But in Ukrainian Transcarpathia, well-known journalist for Ukrainian Channel 112 Ruslan Kotsaba has been arrested and charged with "treason" and "espionage" for making a video in which he declared: "I would rather sit in jail for three to five years than go to the east to kill my Ukrainian brothers. This fear-mongering must be stopped." Kotsaba may sit in jail for twenty-three years, the prescribed term for the charges filed against him.

Kotsaba’s arrest is part of a desperate effort by the Ukrainian government to intimidate the growing antiwar and anti-draft movement, which threatens to upend Kiev’s dreams of conquering the rebellious eastern provinces. Kotsaba’s particular crime, according to prosecutors, was in describing the conflict as a civil war rather than a Russian "invasion." This is a point the authorities cannot tolerate: the same meme being relentlessly broadcast by the Western media – that an indigenous rebellion with substantial support is really a Russian plot to "subvert" Ukraine and reestablish the Warsaw Pact – now has the force of law in Ukraine. Anyone who contradicts it is subject to arrest.

Also subject to arrest, and worse: the thousands who are fleeing the country in order to avoid being conscripted into the military. In a Facebook post that was quickly deleted, Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak wrote: “According to unofficial sources, hostels and motels in border regions of neighboring Romania are completely filled with draft dodgers.” President Petro Poroshenko, the Chocolate Oligarch, is readying a decree imposing possible restrictions on foreign travel for those of draft age – which means anyone from age 25 to 60. Ukrainians may soon be prisoners in their own country – but they aren’t taking it lying down.

Draft resistance is at an all-time high: a mere 6 percent of those called up have reported voluntarily. This has forced the Kiev authorities to go knocking on doors – where they are met either with a mass of angry villagers, who refuse to let them take anyone, or else ghost towns where virtually everyone has fled. In the Transcarpathia region of western Ukraine, entire villages have been emptied, the inhabitants fleeing to Russia to wait out the war – or the fall of the Kiev regime, whichever comes first. "It may seem a paradox," says Transcarpathia’s chief recruitment officer, "but from the western Ukrainian region of Ternopyl people have fled to Russia in order to escape army conscription." The frantic Ukrainian regime is now contemplating conscripting women over 20.

Poroshenko’s military mobilization is due not only to numerous setbacks in the east – Ukrainian troops are being pushed back on all fronts by highly motivated rebels defending their own towns and villages – but also because thousands are deserting, throwing down their arms and fleeing to Russia. In response, the Ukrainian parliament has passed a law authorizing local commanders to shoot deserters on the spot.

With Poroshenko’s war looking like a major disaster, one that could easily topple his EU/US-installed regime, the War Party in the US is turning up the heat, demanding that Washington provide Kiev with arms. Sen. John McCain is – naturallyleading the charge, but prominent liberals are also in the front ranks, with leading scholars of the Brookings Institution recently calling for heavy weapons to be sent. That provoked a response from a dissident within Brookings, former State Department official Jeremy Shapiro, who argues that the Ukrainian conflict is a civil war that cannot have a military solution, and is more than likely to provoke a dangerous military confrontation with Russia.

The Obama administration is under considerable pressure from within the President’s own party to start arming the Ukrainian army, but America’s European allies are reluctant to let this war go on much longer, especially now that their sock puppet Poroshenko is increasingly unpopular. With protests erupting all over western Ukraine, Germany’s Angela Merkel is openly opposing escalation of the war. She made that clear at a recent conference in Munich, where Merkel spoke after returning from talks with Russia’s Vladimir Putin and French President Francois Hollande. Meanwhile, on the sidelines, McCain was telling reporters: "If we had provided Ukraine with weapons they wouldn’t have had to use cluster bombs."

They don’t call him "Mad John" for nothing.

The United States is providing the Kiev regime with military training, and we already have American boots on the ground there, ostensibly to "strengthen the rule of law." What that means in practice is that we are bolstering a government that has declared war on its own people, and is rapidly closing off all legal means of dissent – charging political opponents with "treason," banning political parties, and unleashing ultra-nationalist mobs on anyone who dares dissent. While the US State Department regularly canoodles with Russian "dissidents" who defile Orthodox churches and bare their breasts for the Western cameras, you won’t hear Marie Harf so much as mention Ruslan Kotsaba’s name. As far as I know, the Global Post is the only Western media outlet that has noted his existence – and I’ve not seen a single mention in English about his arrest.

Ukraine is a tripwire that could easily set off World War III – and US provocations are edging closer to that by the day. The crisis was initiated by Washington’s regime-change campaign which succeeded in violently overthrowing elected President Viktor Yanukovych, whose electoral victory was made possible by the criminal incompetence and outright thievery of his predecessor, US-supported Viktor Yushchenko. The so-called "Orange Revolution" led to economic chaos, rampant corruption, and the unleashing of a virulent nationalist current that has culminated in the rise of open neo-Nazis taking seats in the Ukrainian parliament. We are seeing its openly fascistic culmination in the current gang lording over Kiev.

All this was done in the name of sticking a finger in Vladimir Putin’s eye, whose great sin has been kicking out thieving oligarchs and opposing US pretensions to global hegemony. Washington’s ultimate goal is regime-change in the Kremlin, and the reinstallation of a Yeltsin-like sock puppet who, when Washington says "Jump!", will answer: "How high?"

That they’re willing to risk World War III in order to achieve their goal underscores the sheer craziness of US foreign policy. The latest official US "National Security Strategy" puts the new cold war at the center of Washington’s military-diplomatic vision – an emphasis so monstrously misplaced that it’s hard to believe they’re serious. Yet you had better believe it: this is what we can expect from a future Democratic administration, if one should come to pass, with Hillary Clinton taking her husband’s Slavophobia – remember the Kosovo war? – to new heights of unreason.

The US has no business interfering in Ukraine’s civil war, and no legitimate security interest in the question of who gets to administer Crimea – which has been Russian since the days of Catherine the Great. The idea that we are going to confront Russia over this issue is dangerous nonsense – and, unfortunately, it is just the sort of nonsense politicians of both parties find hard to resist.

There are even some ostensible "libertarians" who can’t resist the temptation to refight the cold war, notably the voluble and well-placed NATO-tarian faction of "Students for Liberty" (SFL), who denounced Ron Paul for his supposedly "pro-Putin" (i.e. anti-interventionist) statements on Ukraine. Ron is appearing at their upcoming "International Conference," with several of the loudest NATO-tarians in attendance: one hopes he’ll give them a good talking to, although perhaps a spanking is more appropriate for these noisy brats. These juvenile blatherskites claim "Compelling arguments can be made for both advocates of globalist and noninterventionist foreign policy positions," but aver that "Ron Paul has crossed the line." It is they who have crossed the line: no libertarian is or can be an advocate of a "globalist" foreign policy – because conquering the globe is, you know, a statist thing.

Of course now that Ukraine – where SFL held a conference – is jailing draft-resisters and clamping down on all dissent, we don’t hear a peep from these adolescent cold warriors. They talk a lot about "liberty," but not in places where it can get them into trouble.

The main danger to liberty and peace in the world isn’t in the Kremlin, or Peking, or North Korea – it’s right here in these United States of America, in the global epicenter of evil otherwise known as Washington, D.C. This, our "libertarian internationalists" claim, is vulgar "anti-Americanism," but these foreigners have little conception of what true Americanism is all about. The Founding Fathers of this country are rolling in their graves as the usurpers in Washington sully the good name of America with the blood of innocents worldwide and defile the Constitution in the process. True Americanism means opposing these monsters as they rampage over the earth and destroy our civil liberties at home – not dutifully echoing their rationalizations for endless wars of aggression.

This civil war will end up being a huge embarrassment not only for the ukie gov, but also for US (Obozo in particular) and West Europeans. America will never regain its status and goodwill capital lost in this total fuck-up. This is no dinky little country in the middle of the desert (pick your favorite from among Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, or whatever), nor a small patch of land hidden in the Balkans (like Kosovo). This is going to destroy the credibility of the American foreign policy (Vietnam style) and its so-called system of alliances, as it stands today. Just watch, and see...

Loseing 90% off the price of all assets that cant go to zero and a right down of all debt will not likely be peaceful. Catastrophic failure of all carry-on effects. WW-3 will be the cover for a reset. Just with fewer cities. Radiation is already killing the pacific the largest source of food on the planet.
Rebuilding at this point is a dream for another time, and another people.

Regarding this type of draft, it comes to mind the insightful words expressed by Lone Wadi in The Outlaw Josey Wales :

 I didn't know others hadn't surrendered. I didn't surrender, neither. But, uh, they took my horse and made him surrender. They have him pulling a wagon up in kansas, I'll bet.

"Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." -- Hermann Goering

The elite totalitarian Oligarchs just keep getting richer, while laughing their asses off at the collective stupidity of the Pleb masses: Sheep are sheep, and always will be. Baah!

Looks like Revolutions typically result in only a TEMPORARY setback for the sociopathic Oligarchs, whose descendants eventually rise back up to rule over the new generation of sheep.

If you don't want to be Sheep or a Wolf, then maybe something else is a better alternative in the ecosystem. Something like a Shepherd, maybe. And maybe that's why there are so many (tax-exempt!) churches in the US? ;-)

* In a literary allegory... Vampires are Global Zionists, and Werewolves are Imperialist Oligarchs
** Select Christians and Jews are the Useful Fools and Familiars, who either benefit or take the heat/fall for their shadowy and insatiable Overlords.

FWIW:

'

G’day Pilgrims,

Almost no one apart from Brother Nathanael, emphasises that the Kiev COUP was a Jews’ COUP, just like the Jews’ COUP in Imperial Russia in 1917 which is always mislabeled the “Russian Revolution”. It wasn’t.

For those interested I list some of the Jews now in power in the Kiev Junta as a result of the murderous Kiev Putsch:

President-Poroshenko (Vlatsman) - Jew
President Turchinov (Kogan) - Jew
Prime Minister - Yatsenyuk (Buckeye) - Jew
Minister of Finance - Alexander Shlapak - Jew
Secretary of national security and Defence - Andrew Parubiy- Jew

Vice Prime Minister - Vladimir Groisman - a Jew
Interior Minister Arsen Avakov - Armenian Jew
Minister of Culture - Sergei Nischuk - Jew
Mason - Director of the National Bank - Stepan Kubiv - Jew
Head of the Administration of President - Sergey Pashinskiy- Jew

The main presidential candidates from the opposition:

Yulia Tymoshenko (Celia Kapitelman) - Jewish
Vitali Klitschko (Etinzon) - a Jew by his father
Oleg Tyagnibok (Frotman) - a Jew mom
Dmitry (Avdimou) Yarosh - Jew Hasid

See also this list of the so called nazi-regime in Kiev:

http://abundanthope.net/pages/Political_Information_43/Ukraine-SITREP-26th-January.shtml

Governor of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast: Ihor Kolomoysky - A Jew, the second or third richest person in Ukraine (after Rinat Akhmetov and/or Viktor Pinchuk) since 2006.

Kolomoysky has a triple Ukrainian-Israeli-Cyprus citizenship because dual citizenship is not recognized by Ukraine. Kolomoyskyi explained that: “The constitution prohibits double citizenship but triple citizenship is not forbidden.”

On 2 March 2014, amidst the 2014 pro-Russian conflict in Ukraine, acting President Oleksandr Turchynov appointed Kolomoyskyi governor of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

Two days later, Russian President Vladimir Putin described Kolomoyskyi as a “unique crook,” and said that the citizens of Dnipropetrovsk were not happy with his appointment as Governor of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

In contrast, The Daily Beast, a US publication, wrote in mid-June 2014 that Kolomoyskyi enjoyed the local population’s strong support.

In April 2014 Kolomoyskyi offered a bounty for the capture of Russian-backed militants and incentives for the turning in of weapons. He also is believed to have spent $10 million to create the Dnipro Battalion, and also funds the Aidar, Azov, Dnepr 1, Dnepr 2, and Donbas volunteer battalions.

Members of the Aidar Battalion “have been involved in widespread abuses, including abductions, unlawful detention, ill-treatment, theft, extortion, and possible executions,” according to Amnesty International, while the Azov Battalion was seen flying flags carrying symbols of a Ukraine neo-Nazi party, Patriot of Ukraine.

Russia is asking for Kolomoyskyi to be put on Interpol’s wanted list. On 2 July 2014 a Russian District Court authorized his arrest in absentia for “organizing the killing of civilians”. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ihor_Kolomoyskyi)

Ironlead, not one man was lost in the return of Crimea to its centuries old border within Russia. The primarily Russian populace voted to reverse the 1954 annexation and return to Russia. There were no protest riots at that time and none today.

And you might consider--the Russians have their navy base on Crimea, wouldn't it be nice if NATO could get their grubby hands on it courtesy of Kiev? Do you really think that the Russians would just walk away and let NATO set up shop? 

The only reason you're against this is because the media morons tell you what to think and you comply. If you want to blame someone don't look eastward toward Ukraine/Russia. Look at the idiots in DC who triggered this whole fight.

I hope that most ZHers are aware that the US Navy was actually soliciting bids for the renovation of buildings in Sebastopol for use by the USN;  I suppose the USN wanted a local presence during the period before the Russian Navy was transitioned out of Crimea by Kiev.  It's pretty funny in hindsight.

>>>the USN sniffing around Crimea for yet another precarious, money pit base.

The below may not be the original posting of the "request for bid" by the USN, but it's all I can find with a quick Google search.

I have zero doubt that the US Navy knows a great deal about Sebastopol, and would like at least influence in the area.  My understanding of the treaty governing the Straits is that non-litoral states cannot have bases* on the Black Sea coast (though their ships can visit).   So the idea may have been to merely have an advisory and/or spying facility in Crimea.

I think everyone is entitled to an opinion including FePb, as for Samsa, maps (and borders) change on a regular

basis. I cant be fucked cutting and pasting links to maps over the ages but Ukraine was independant for a short

while in 1917 and its borders stretched up to Rostov and into the Caucases and as far west as they are now just

'google it'. I've worked and lived in Ukraine so I have a rough idea on the situation. As for pivot and deflect, well theres a lot of

you out there doing just that.

That treaty you are referring to also stated that none of the signatories would interfere with the POLITICAL independence of Ukraine as well. I beleive the US and EU violated that months before the crimean referendum with their open support of regime change. They also insisted that , as part of the EU integration agreeement, a known fascist Yulia Tomoshenko be released from house arrest in Ukraine. Essentially allowing her to flee the country in exchange for the EU trade agreement. Of course, the socialists couldn't vote for that agreement with that stipulation. Therefore, the proposal was tabled which started the coup.
