Obama Sidelines Kerry On Ukraine Policy

On May 21st, I headlined "Secretary of State John Kerry v. His Subordinate Victoria Nuland, Regarding Ukraine,” and quoted John Kerry’s May 12th warning to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to cease his repeated threats to invade Crimea and re-invade Donbass, two former regions of Ukraine, which had refused to accept the legitimacy of the new regime that was imposed on Ukraine in violent clashes during February 2014. (These were regions that had voted overwhelmingly for the Ukrainian President who had just been overthrown. They didn’t like him being violently tossed out and replaced by his enemies.)

Kerry said then that, regarding Poroshenko, "we would strongly urge him to think twice not to engage in that kind of activity, that that would put Minsk in serious jeopardy. And we would be very, very concerned about what the consequences of that kind of action at this time may be.” Also quoted there was Kerry’s subordinate, Victoria Nuland, three days later, saying the exact opposite, that we "reiterate our deep commitment to a single Ukrainian nation, including Crimea, and all the other regions of Ukraine.” I noted, then that, "The only person with the power to fire Nuland is actually U.S. President Barack Obama.” However, Obama instead has sided with Nuland on this.

Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty, bannered, on June 5th, "Poroshenko: Ukraine Will 'Do Everything' To Retake Crimea',” and reported that, “President Petro Poroshenko has vowed to seek Crimea's return to Ukrainian rule. … Speaking at a news conference on June 5, … Poroshenko said that 'every day and every moment, we will do everything to return Crimea to Ukraine.’” Poroshenko was also quoted there as saying, "It is important not to give Russia a chance to break the world's pro-Ukrainian coalition,” which indirectly insulted Kerry for his having criticized Poroshenko’s warnings that he intended to invade Crimea and Donbass.

Right now, the Minsk II ceasefire has broken down and there are accusations on both sides that the other is to blame. What cannot be denied is that at least three times, on April 30th, then on May 11th, and then on June 5th, Poroshenko has repeatedly promised to invade Crimea, which wasn’t even mentioned in the Minsk II agreement; and that he was also promising to re-invade Donbass, something that is explicitly prohibited in this agreement. Furthermore, America’s President, Barack Obama, did not fire Kerry’s subordinate, Nuland, for her contradicting her boss on this important matter.

How will that be taken in European capitals? Kerry was reaffirming the position of Merkel and Hollande, the key shapers of the Minsk II agreement; and Nuland was nullifying them. Obama now has sided with Nuland on this; it’s a slap in the face to the EU: Poroshenko can continue ignoring Kerry and can blatantly ignore the Minsk II agreement; and Obama tacitly sides with Poroshenko and Nuland, against Kerry.

The personalities here are important: On 4 February 2014, in the very same phone-conversation with Geoffrey Pyatt, America’s Ambassador in Ukraine, in which Nuland had instructed Pyatt to get “Yats” Yatsenyuk appointed to lead Ukraine after the coup (which then occured 18 days later), she also famously said “F—k  the EU!” Obama is now seconding that statement of hers.

In effect, Obama is telling the EU that they can get anything they want signed, but that he would still move forward with his own policy, regardless of whether or not they like it.

Kerry, for his part, now faces the decision as to whether to quit — which would force the EU’s hand regarding whether to continue with U.S. policy there — or else for Kerry to stay in office and be disrespected in all capitals for his staying on after having been so blatantly contradicted by his subordinate on a key issue of U.S. foreign policy. If he stays on while Nuland also does, then, in effect, Kerry is being cut out of policymaking on Europe and Asia (Nuland’s territory), altogether, and the EU needs to communicate directly with Obama on everything, or else to communicate with Nuland as if she and not Kerry were the actual U.S. Secretary of State. But if Kerry instead quits, then the pressure would be placed on EU officials: whether to continue with the U.S., or to reject U.S. anti-Russia policy, and to move forward by leaving NATO, and all that that entails?

If they then decide to stay with the U.S., after that “F—k the EU!” and then this; then, the European countries are clearly just U.S. colonies. This would be far more embarrassing to those leaders than John Kerry would be embarrassed by his simply resigning from the U.S. State Department. It might even turn the tide and force the Ukrainian Government to follow through with all of its commitments under the Minsk II accords.

It would be the most effective thing for Kerry to do at this stage. But, it would lose him his position as a (now merely nominal) member of Obama’s Cabinet.

The way this turns out will show a lot, about John Kerry. The nations of Europe already know everything they need to know about Barack Obama. If Kerry quits, he’ll have respect around the world. If he stays, he’ll be just another Colin Powell.

The ball is in Kerry’s court, and everyone will see how he plays it — and what type of man he is (and isn’t).

Seriously folks, so Kerry goes to Saudi and tells the fucking 'family' to cut prices AND increase output and if you don't Yemen will wipe you out... Get it?

The aim is 3 fold, kill the USSA fracking wildcatters so the joos can buy them up for pennies and kill Russia, and kick the USSA economy in the ass.

Putin broke Kerry's leg but we all know he could have ended that cocksucker in an instant. Thus the show of power to transport him home.

Clarity.

Kerry was not shot.

It is not uncommon, at all, for cabinet officials to be flown around on military transports. The fact that SecState's own plane was not used may have been something as simple as not being able to get a full gurney around a corner in the plane. State's diplomatic security service also has solid protocols to use if SecState is incapacitated or sustains a major injury. Part of that is to get him to the nearest U.S. military installation and back Stateside ASAP.

This whole assassination attempt rumor got started by Sorcha Fall and one of his infamous "reports circulating around the Kremlin" pieces of rubbish.

Don't buy into it.

Sorcha Faals is much too interesting to be casually dismissed. If you read their reports carefully you realize they are written by someone having the full resources of an intel apparatus at their fingertips. Of course, the headline claim is the one never sourced. But that just gives them a lot of room for manipulation. It certainly doesn't mean they must by bluntly rejected.

In this case, the present Z/H article is exactly something one would expect emerging if that report were accurate!

I'm waiting for the photo op to disprove the rumors that the 'broken leg' wasn't really gun shot wounds from an assassination attempt, easy enough to do with a few reporters interviewing him in the hospital. Still waiting, anyone know of ANY photos since the 'accident'? It happened on a populated street in a modern country but no one seems to have had a camera on them at the scene. Maybe France doesn't have iPhones. That plus the under reported videos of what looks like a low grade nuke used in Yemen makes me think things are a bit hotter than the MSM lets on. Multiple videos of the explosion show the stars from a radiation surge. Maybe it's something else, it's been awhile since I worked for the IAEA. Who knows? At least Yemen has iPhones to take videos, they must be more advanced than France.

The EU times story said he was transported to a French Military base where the assistants of the jihadi guy we trained and then went over to ISIS were there armed. They knoew the security steps and were able to get in with guns. As soon as the opportunity arose they opened fire hitting Kerry and two others one of whom died. There was paniced radio transmissions about a high level US diplomat needing emergency evac which led to all that we saw with the special planse and all. That was not for a broken leg suffered in a bike accident.

Obama's rats are scurrying to find their jobs that start on January 2017. They are out if a Republican wins the White House, and nearly all will be chucked out if Hillary gets in. "Nice rats" don't get any rewards, so the only way to lock up that post Obama employment is to get bought off for current favors, or to side with potential employers even if it goes against your boss. One thing is for certain - after years of raising taxes, forcing the country into Obamacare, throttling growth with hundreds of new regulations (each day), and insulting the intellect of American business leaders -- the 'rats' won't be welcome anywhere outside DC or Wall Street!

Nah. they can split NATO into two and send each half to war with the other half. Easy peasy. And whilst NATO is destroying itself it won't be a problem for Russia.

Putin can then continue sending in daily columns of tanks, APCs and heavy artillery that Poroshenko & NATO keep blathering about but which haven't yet appeared in any camera footage. /s

I don't want to pay for or be part of the war mongering Soros/Obama cartel.  I am Canadian and don't like the bad name this foreign policy of ours to follow USA at every turn gives us and to be honest, don't want to see ours or the other side lose young lives over the games these higher ups play.

I'm actually surprised there are not more assassination attempts on some of the more nefarious diplomats (by which I mean, war-mongers) in the region, including, if not specifically, Nuland.  Seems it would both remove the source of a lot of problems and dampen the spirit for war by her replacement.

If you start assassinations at the top level, you'll have open season on all sorts of politicians (aka: scumbags).

And they can't have that, they prefer their serfs shooting at each other, while they dine fine. And give out medals to the "heroes".

Nuland is / has been reporting to other control block CIA / Zbig / Soros  - she has no deference to EU power or respect or to Kerry ever - Obama has been told once again what to do for the upteenth time - Kerry's move in sochi appears to be either unilateral or from different control block - Porky has no opinions on anything  - he always does what he is told  - ditto for Yats - Nuland's boy

The Russians watch and keep on forging a long term plan while they watch this disarray and try and figure it all out and the German industry and unions  know Merkel is a mere clerk and figurehead and hopefully are planning an escape

Well John, what a hell of a situation.  I'm amazed at what's happening in DC, and even more amazed that things like this would happen on levels so high.  I never was really a fan of yours, but in this situation, you sure make more sense than Nuland.  You can walk away feeling that you did the right thing, and held a higher moral ground at least.  Nuland would nuke the world if she had the switch in front of her.  So what's next?  At the very least, John, you've exposed the whole game, and are calling the European hand.  At least you're going out (maybe or maybe not), with some accompanying fireworks and a good story to tie all this to.  But if I were you, I wouldn't think of staying; I'd leave that chicken shit outfit, and I wouldn't even have my tail between my legs.

An attempt to get a count of the vote at the end of the month on extending the sanctions on Russia for another year.

Noodleman in her flexing her muscular shorthairs. Kerry squeaking like a wee mouse under the sink.

There's no disagreement.  The horse and the hippo are one.  

This is the way they can find out who's with them and who's not. That way they won't have to waste time blackmailing, bribing threatening the countries  already on their side and can put the full court press on those that aren't. 

Countries like Solvakia and Czech Republic will want to talk to Kerry and feel safe telling him how they will vote.  Kerry will call the Noodleman Gestopo.

Problem solved.

So one administration talking head said something, then another talking head said something.  The second statement was more popular with the focus groups so they went with that one.  It's a snub, sure, but with Biden busy Obama couldn't arrange a gaffe through the usual jester.  Obama can't participate because AQ is on the run, Yemen is the recipe for terror success, etc, etc series of stupid "accidents."
