Caught On Tape: Ukraine Premier Assaulted In Parliament

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Fighting broke out in parliament among members of Ukraine's ruling coalition on Friday after a member of President Petro Poroshenko's bloc physically picked up Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk and pulled him from the podium.

Yatseniuk was defending his embattled government's record when lawmaker Oleh Barna walked over to him with a bunch of red roses and then grabbed him around the waist and groin, lifting him off his feet and dragging him from the rostrum.

Members of Yatseniuk's People Front party waded in, pushing Barna and throwing punches, sparking a brawl in the assembly.

You just can't make this up...

 

The PM later said there were “a lot of morons,” so he would not comment on the incident.

*  *  *

As The FT reports,

Ukraine’s parliament has indefinitely postponed a vote of no-confidence in the government of Arseniy Yatseniuk, but not without highlighting the fragility of the country’s pro-western coalition.

 

Citing a flurry of corruption scandals and the lacklustre pace of reforms, an increasing number of MPs — even within the ruling majority — have in recent weeks called for the ousting of Mr Yatseniuk via a no-confidence vote on Friday.

 

Ukraine’s western backers, namely the US and EU, feared such a move could plunge the war-torn and recession-ravaged country into a deep political crisis as it continues to battle Russian-backed separatists in eastern regions — and jeopardise a $40bn international bailout led by the International Monetary Fund.

 

Such concerns are believed to have been expressed by US vice president Joe Biden in closed door discussions during a visit to Kiev early this week in which he publicly called for political unity, swifter reforms and deeper anti-corruption efforts.

And this is the nation's government who US-taxpayer-backed IMF just forgave their debt, implicitly backing them, and entering The Cold War...

Instead, the IMF is backing Ukrainian policy, its kleptocracy and its Right Sector leading the attacks that recently cut off Crimea’s electricity. The only condition on which the IMF insists is continued austerity. Ukraine’s currency, the hryvnia, has fallen by a third this years, pensions have been slashed (largely as a result of being inflated away), while corruption continues unabated.

 

Despite this the IMF announced its intention to extend new loans to finance Ukraine’s dependency and payoffs to the oligarchs who are in control of its parliament and justice departments to block any real cleanup of corruption.

 

For over half a year there was a semi-public discussion with U.S. Treasury advisors and Cold Warriors about how to stiff Russia on the $3 billion owed by Ukraine to Russia’s Sovereign Wealth Fund. There was some talk of declaring this an “odious debt,” but it was decided that this ploy might backfire against U.S. supported dictatorships.

 

In the end, the IMF simply lent Ukraine the money.

 

By doing so, it announced its new policy: “We only enforce debts owed in US dollars to US allies.” This means that what was simmering as a Cold War against Russia has now turned into a full-blown division of the world into the Dollar Bloc (with its satellite Euro and other pro-U.S. currencies) and the BRICS or other countries not in the U.S. financial and military orbit.

If it was an even number of roses, that is really bad.  You do that for funerals and such things.  It is unlucky.  So if you ever give flowers to a lady, odd numbers.

I love the part about Joe Biden lecturing them on corruption.  That's the same "Big F'n Deal" Joe who went to the Ukraine, at US taxpayer expense, and proceded to get his son appointed to a lucrative position as a Director of one of their largest gas producers.  That's like Don Corleone lecturing the Tataglias about not going to church enough.

Operation NAZI: NAZIs take over USA. NAZIs are secretly backed by the Zionistas. Amazingly, NAZIs and AshkneNAZIs are the same guys, but control of the MSM prevents this discovery.

My Russian wife and I were invited to a Republican CONgressman's Christmas mixer.  No doubt that I have been involved in politics over the years.  Russian wife said she will not go and is very serious about that.  She said it is all bullshit and wants nothing to do with it.

I think she is correct.

Sunni Muslim Barrack Hussein Obama, an Indonesian citizen and President of the United States of America, is an ally and supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood and it's affiliates like Al Qaeda, ISIS, etc. Knowing that makes the reasoning behind his policies understandable, such as trying to foment war with the Russian Federation over Ukraine.
