An EU Coalition of the Willing?
When I first heard of Poroshenko’s latest idea about sending peacekeepers to the Ukraine, I had figured that he was talking about UN peacekeepers, the only ones with any possible legality for such an operation. Turns out I had “misunderestimated” Poroshenko. His idea is even crazier: he wants *EU* “peacekeepers”! This is what the official website of the President of the Ukraine says:
Ukraine considers the EU mission in the framework of the Common Security and Defense Policy the best option of peacekeeping operation in Donbas, as stated by President Petro Poroshenko at the meeting with Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn in Kyiv.
The Head of State has outlined clear position: “Russia, as country-aggressor, cannot and will not take part in the peacekeeping operation”. “Ukraine will not agree to a peacekeeping format, which threatens to legalize thousands of Russian militaries – we already have enough such “peacekeepers”,” Petro Poroshenko noted.
The President has informed on the decision of the National Security and Defense Council to appeal to the UN Security Council with a request for an international peacekeeping mission to ensure the preservation of peace in Donbas and control the Ukrainian-Russian border in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. “The format of the European Union Police Mission is preferable,” the President added.
Am I the only one who is detecting a distinctly American “handwriting” behind this latest idea? Look again: the idea is this – first go to the UN and when the Russians and Chinese veto it, then turn to the EU and use EU states to make a “coalition of the willing”. Why? Let me spell out the rationale here:
The prime goal of the USA was to get Russia to militarily intervene in the Donbass to trigger a continental war. Now that this has clearly failed, they want the Europeans to enter the Donbass with exactly the same goal. Once the EU peacekeepers are deployed, all it would take is a bloody false flag (an artillery strike, or a bomb) killing enough EU peacekeepers to raise the immediate need to protect them. Except that the EU does not have any “EU armed forces” so can you guess who would be sent it? Exactly – NATO.
Will the Europeans fall for that? I doubt it. Even the Eurocretins seemed to have lost their taste for crazy US Neocon schemes. Besides, Russia is not Serbia and there is no way the EU will bypass the UNSC for a military operation, not without triggering a huge political crisis inside Europe. To me this latest plans smacks of something McCain and Saakashvili could have cooked up and not something coming out of this White House. God knows I have no sympathy for the Obama Administration or for the Eurocretins in Brussels, but this latest stunt is dumb even by their standards.
Die Fahne hoch! Die Reihen fest geschlossen! SA marschiert mit ruhig festem Schritt. (The flag on high! The ranks tightly closed! The SA march with quiet, steady step. Horst Wessel Lied – Nazi anthem)
Looks like the Nazi death squads are on the march again, this time they are looking at Kiev. Thirteen death-squad (aka “volunteer battalion”) leaders have now declared that they are forming their own military command under the command of the notorious Semen Semenchenko. Officially, they are not in any way opposed to the current regime, so said Semenchenko, but in reality their rank and file members are pretty clear about what they want to do: organize a third Maidan and toss out Poroshenko. What makes these 21st century version of the SA so dangerous for Poroshenko it that he, unlike Hitler, does not have a 21st century version of the SS to eliminate them all overnight. In fact, according to many reports the entire southern part of the rump-Ukraine is now “Kolomoiski-land” fully under the control of the oligarch who finances these death-squads. Add to this the fact that most of the Rada is composed of the very same battalion commanders and assorted Nazi freaks, and you will why Poroshenko is now very much in danger.
Poroshenko can try to present the Debaltsevo disaster as a huge victory, but apparently everybody in the Ukraine knows the truth and that, in turn, designates Poroshenko as the ideal scape-goat and culprit for what happened. The sad reality is that there is simply nobody in the Ukraine capable of disarming these so-called “volunteer battalions”. There are now thousands of uniformed Nazi freaks roaming around with guns who can now impose their law of the jungle on everybody. It sure looks like the future of Banderastan will be something like a mix of Somalia and Mad Max – a failed state, a comprehensively destroyed economy, a collapsed social order and the law of armed gangs of thugs.
In a couple of days it will be one year since the US-backed Nazis took power in Kiev and when I think of what they have “achieved” in such a short period of time I wonder if the idiots who were jumping on the Maidan and screaming “he who does not jump is a Moskal” and “glory to the Ukraine! to the heroes glory!” had any idea that their actions would completely destroy the country which they wanted to bring into the EU.

CNN newscaster Linda “?” just stated at time 2:35 from the Atlanta Newscenter that the Donbas militia was breaking the Minsk agreement by attacking the Ukrainian positions around the “Port city of Debaltseve”
According to CNN Debaltseve has just become a port??
The list of CNN amateur propaganda garbage gets longer
How can anyone take anything CNN comes up with serious anymore. I Wonder how few of those CNN propaganda pushers even know where the Ukraine or Novorussia are.
I haven’t taken CNN seriously since the beginning of the media campaign against Syria.
Same here… and don’t forget they got caught setting up “Syria Danny” who was actually from England with a bunch of takfiri filming fake attacks they started and blaming them on pres. Assad. CNN has NO credibility.
I quit taking them seriously after the tech bubble burst in 2000. LOL
Saker, it is true there is no
