The war to topple Russia’s government enters its third year. In the 30 days of January 2016 the following events took place:
• On January 15, Nuland met with Kremlin advisor Vyacheslav Surkov as speculated to deliver a nuclear strike threat. [source]
• Prior to the Zurich meeting between Lavrov and Kerry, the Russian flag behind Kerry was hung upside-down by US staff sending a very clear signal. According to the US Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sect 176 (a), the display of the flag upside down is a “signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.” [John Helmer]
• A US presidential hopeful Carson utters the epic, “Putin is a one horse country. Oil. Energy.”
• Lavrov ignored Nuland and refused to shake her hand, delivering a message from the General Staff, the intelligence services, and the Foreign Ministry that “If Nuland conducts this war, the outcome will be decided by arms, at the front.” [source]
• Kiev junta orders and receives a blackout of the cases against it in the ECHR via Tymoshenko appointed to ECHR judge Ganna Yudkivska [source]
• The US claims to be closer to bringing Russia from the “cold,” where it’s never been, clearly refusing to hear the Russian government and its people saying that things will never be the same between Russia and the West. This is a simple message to our abusive “partners:” Go Away, We Don’t Want You! [source]
• Alaska and Hawaii Ask UN to Recognize U.S as Occupiers [source]
I have written before about the clear and present dangers represented by unknown Western government apparatchiks who are capable and known to initiate wars, with disastrous effect on countries and regions. Nuland is not alone to start a war, Evelyn N. Farkas, a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia/Ukraine/Eurasia, is another one.
Ganna Yudkivska, who is prone to bending European and international laws in the Kiev junta’s favor, makes a third. In reality we have an umpteen number of nameless unelected officials coming up with more and more strategies to upset status quo and plunge countries, regions and continents into all-out wars. The power that these small nameless people wield over our lives and over our children’s future is obscene and horrendous.
They are not just these women, who get drunk on limitless power over millions of small people who they see as insects; enter Swedish General Anders Brännström, who telegraphs us the Swedish intentions to attack Russia in order to get out of the economic and demographic quagmire into which they have plunged their countries.
But that’s the problem that Sweden wants to create for itself and no one else.
I don’t know about you, but I personally refuse to perish just because some C- average graduates of third-rate American Universities who don’t have a clue about culture and history decide that their mindless psy-op (MISO) would look good on their resumes.
While French politicians and business communities are railing against anti-Russian sanctions and visiting Crimea and Donbass on a weekly basis, Canal+ televised a revealing documentary Ukraine: The Masks of The Revolution about the bloody Kiev coup d’état. The documentary made such a profound impression on audience, that it will be shown the second time. [All because we got them a puppy.]
While Iran, a Russia’s ally, buys 125 French Airbuses, creating jobs for French manufacturers, Peugeot intends to build an auto manufacturing facilities in Iran, giving boost to their economy and creating jobs for Persians. Total Oil is also set to sign huge contracts with Iran. The Stream2 is being built to ensure uninterrupted flow of energy resources directly from the Russian producers to Germany, Austria and the rest of the Western Europe, bypassing the Eastern European countries where the US still has its stronghold. Huge efforts are being underway to decouple economies of Western European countries from American control. Well aware that the migrant crisis has been orchestrated by the US, the European countries started building their own military, separate from NATO, and outside of the US control. That’s why the US is sending an additional 10,000 of its troops and equipment to the Baltics.
All these have been done without Washington supervision, and very much to their chagrin. All these to create a common Eurasian politico-economic space from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, independent from Washington and Wall-Street, a new universe where the US is not present and is not welcome.
Remember that President Putin said that Germans cannot be held accountable for the Nazis crimes in perpetuity. It means that the US occupation of Germany since 1945 has to come to its end. Now, it’s a very good time to offer that Washington occupational forces should pack up and go home.
In two to three years Americans should be pushed out of Europe, before they attempt to ignite another war there.
When the time is right, Russia and Germany together will clear Ukraine of Nazis. Russia will be sweeping them up on the territory of Ukraine, Germany will be catching them in Europe. Let them parade around with torches and Nazi flags: we know their names, we have their pictures, we know where they live, we know what they have done. They won’t be able to escape justice.
Of course, the American empire including the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Poland, Israel, and the Baltics will do everything to slow down this process, but they can’t stop it. Today, British companies like OTP Holidays are refusing to service tourists from Russia, in response Russian banks like Gazprombank are leaving Britain for good.
My Dad, who worked as a military adviser for Colonel Gaddafi years ago, talked about endless nuisances and provocations that the US diplomatic staff in Egypt was conducting on a daily basis against Libya. It took a huge amount of work for the Soviets to remedy those situations and to prevent armed hostilities between the two nations, provoked by the United States. The moment after the Soviet military was removed from the region, was when these countries succumbed to the American thirst for chaos.
A glimpse of hope, however, is being offered by the simple fact that America itself is not prepared at all for any disruption that would come after a nuclear or even conventional war on its territory. Those who know how the US cities and towns operate are aware that even weather events like rain, snow, heat, and strong wind, puts lives of millions people in complete disarray. Remember Hurricane Sandy, two weeks without electricity in major cities like New York, Philadelphia and Atlantic City, with no food and no water in stores. The US doesn’t have government structures that would be able to remedy war devastation. More importantly, the US government doesn’t have any good will to help the population. Depending on the community, civil war will break out immediately.
Let’s keep in mind that US government officials and the ruling class have so much contempt for average American that they are liable to make the situation worse just to clear out some parts of the population. Like they had done successfully in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina.
“Our plutocracy, whether the hedge fund managers in Greenwich, Connecticut, or the Internet moguls in Palo Alto, now lives like the British did in colonial India: ruling the place but not of it. If one can afford private security, public safety is of no concern; to the person fortunate enough to own a Gulfstream jet, crumbling bridges cause less apprehension, and viable public transportation doesn’t even compute. With private doctors on call and a chartered plane to get to the Mayo Clinic, why worry about Medicare?” [source]
“In an expose titled “Top Secret America,” The Washington Post revealed the private side of this shadow government, made up of 854,000 contract personnel with top-secret clearances, “a number greater than that of top-secret-cleared civilian employees of the government.” [source]
Ukraine
The occupation of Ukraine by the US and its allies enters its third year. The results are spectacular: collapse of economy and finance, collapse of industrial production, collapse of the social sphere, education and medical care, a massive exodus of several million people in two years, demographic collapses, depopulation of entire regions, bombing of major Ukrainian cities, biological warfare on the population, massive forest fires in the Chernobyl region, widepsread hunger and cold, spike in violent crimes, organ trafficking and tens of thousands of people including children missing.
In my last week SITREP I had a discussion with a couple of commentators about Poles beating up migrants from Ukraine. It could be, I thought due to the Kiev junta official ideology of Bandera worshipping that rubbed Poles the wrong way. But then I asked myself, why were Poles so receptive to Ukrainian migrants in 2014-2015? Why would Poles start attacking Ukrainians just now in 2016? Poland has been supporting Ukrainian Maidan and participated in its organizing, including its ideology.
Poland has been working to annex large territories of Ukraine, I have been writing about this many times. But something has changed…
The Mysterious Ways of Russia
Russia works in mysterious ways. There are some hidden processes in Ukraine that the West will never know of and will never understand. We can only see the reflection of these processes in others. For example, Poles beating up Ukrainians so they would start to doubt benefits of Euro-integration.
I still maintain that Poles attacking migrant workers from Ukraine is the best argument against Maidan’s false promises that “Ukraine is Europe” and “the US will help us.” I could write hundreds of articles proving with numbers in hand how devastating for the Ukrainian people the EU Association agreement has become, but it fades in comparison with a dozen Polish football fans clubbing a hundred Ukrainian laborers in the middle of the night.
Grass is not greener on the other side of the fence, but we can make our grass greener if we add some fertilizer.
Whose fault is it that the Polish establishment is dead set to use fertilizer for explosive purpose, rather than for feeding plants? Take for example the former Minister for Foreign Affairs of Poland, Grzegorz Schetyna (schetyna or hair stubble in Russian, Ukrainian and Polish that is growing on pigs’ backs). In his interview with the newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza in summer 2014 he said, “Ukraine is a colony. We just have to decide whose colony it is.” This kind of honesty coming from a politician should be applauded and appreciated. Being an American colony, Polish politicians manage to provide us with examples of God honest truth. Sometimes I wonder if some of them are Putin’s agents.
One old Serb proverb says: “There is God in heaven and Russia on earth.” This century, God and Russia work together. Take for example the troll factories that the Kiev junta has been running for the past two years. They have employed tens of thousands of people. Every news outlet, every article of every significant blogger had one or two Ukrainian troll operating. Their comments have been extremely stupid and offensive, and show pro-Ukrainians as violent, dimwitted, fascist morons. Which doesn’t reflect the fact that Ukrainians and 15 million Russians populating Ukraine are normal adequate people. However, troll factories paid by the US, EU and oligarchs did their dirty job. If pro-West Ukrainians had any sympathizers among Russians at the start of the Maidan, their anti-Russian trolling turned everyone off. At this point people feel that to support pro-junta Ukrainians is to have no respect for themselves.
Recently, this enormous psy-op undertaking has been harshly criticized by the real president of Ukraine Geoffrey R. Pyatt, mostly because trolling has exposed thousands of people in Ukraine to the truthful timely information about their country. It’s zrada (treason) every way you turn.
What I also see as positive is the decentralization processes in Ukraine. Some experts say that that will cause chaos and horror on the Russian borders. To me, to reject the federalization and decentralization of Ukraine is to act pro-American. It’s very well explained here.
It’s a clear way out of Western occupation for the regions. Kherson and Odessa regions can now come to Zakharchenko and ask to join the DPR, which is officially part of Ukraine. So, there are no questions of violation of anyone’s territorial integrity.
I predict that Zakharchenko will be the president of this liberated from the foreign occupation Ukraine.

4. On February 1st, 2016 Yatsenyuk informed captivated audience that the Kiev junta demands from the Secretariat of the Energy Community, the EU body, to “close” the Stream2 project [source] even so the agreement is between Russia and Germany and doesn’t concern the EU at all.
The Kiev junta is unhappy with the Stream2 project that will leave Ukraine’s oligarchy without gas transfer fees and without a lever to interfere with Russia’s and European political and economic stability. Ukraine is supported by 10 countries: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Poland, the so called “Club of the East European losers” who can’t comprehend that their time of free money is up, and that it’s time for them to get off the gas pipe. They claim that Stream2 is a political project directed against Ukraine. No, it’s not. It’s an economic project directed against the US and for Western Europe. [source]
These East European nations seems stuck in the past when the Soviet Union was paying for everything, and when Russia under American occupation was paying for everything.
The gig is up, former comrades, go and beg your American pimps for money.
5. As we know, Russia will cut Ukraine off as a transfer country in 2019. Instead of developing trade and economy, the Kiev junta is loading up Ukraine with more debt. Head of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) Valeriya Gontareva expects that the Ukrainian government this week will sign the final version of a Memorandum on cooperation with the International Monetary Fund [IMF], and that the third loan tranche will be disbursed within three to four weeks.

Correct me, if I am wrong, but if you cool down those steelmaking furnaces you can’t restart them, you have to build everything new from scratch.
10. Chief Prosecutor general of Ukraine called the “Right Sector” an “unlawful armed formation.” He also said that use of patriots for political purposes without strong support for the government is equal to breaking the state apart. He also said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has to disarm all unlawful armed formations. Junta used the ultra-nationalists to come to power, and to destroy the previous power structures, and to kill any kind of dissent, and now these formations are not needed any longer. In addition, it’s a part of the Minsk II Agreement, so things are moving along.
11. Euromaidan unmasked: Europe shocked by the bitter truth on Ukraine. The hard-hitting documentary by Paul Moreira “Ukraine, les masques de la révolution” [Ukraine: Masks of the Revolution], released on Monday night by Canal+, created a turmoil both in Ukraine and France well before the premiere.
12. “just the mention of failed government and partition of the country in reference to Ukraine throws American plans for East Europe into disarray and raises concomitantly the specter of readjustment of the dramatic alterations of Russian territories, lands and peoples that have taken place since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. The USA/NATO demands that the separation between Russia and its lands in diaspora remain fixed. For Russians the diaspora is unnatural. Nor from the Russian perspective is the present historical current toward reunion as seen in Crimea to be considered expansionist; it is simply the natural flow of history toward the restoration of the greater Russian nation.” [source] [Very good article]
The Middle East
1. Iranian Drone Flies Over US Aircraft Carrier In Hormuz [source]
According to a Friday report by Fars news agency, the drone managed to capture a video during the surveillance mission over the USS Harry S. Truman.
Meanwhile, a midget Ghadir-class submarine belonging to Iran’s Navy was also deployed close to the US aircraft carrier with a mission to gather intelligence and capture footage, the report says.
The Iranian submarine was able to take “clear” photographs of the aircraft carrier without catching the attention of the staff on board, the report added.
Europe
1. Producer of a Polish TV station was fired for apologizing to the Russian Ministry of Culture
Update: Russia has already offered a job to this producer.
2. Russia has good reasons to consider NATO a threat, according to a Polish member of the European Parliament.
3. Being offensive and disrespectful to Russians has already cost a huge chunk of the Polish economy [source]
And it is just the beginning.
Starting February 1st, Poland lost fees from Russia’s long haulers
Warsaw regime refuses to prolong licenses for truck haulage between Poland, Russia, TASS reported on January 30.
The Russian side proposed to prolong the 2015 licenses through to February 15, 2016, so as to avert the halting of cargo haulage, but unfortunately the Polish officials turned this proposal down.
As a transit country Poland doesn’t even have the right to ask for a license. However, Russia agreed to negotiate. Poland wanted to have 100,000 of its trucks to transfer the territory of Russia per year, but Poland only agreed to let 20,000 trucks from Russia.
Starting with February 1st, Poland has lost the rights to haul trucks across Russia. Poland also lost fees paid by Russia. Russia started to transport trucks by ferry directly to Germany, bypassing Poland entirely.
At his Q&A conference on January 26, 2016 Lavrov said that the US is fencing Europe in, but the European countries are also doing an excellent job of cutting themselves off from the outside world.
Now, all those thousands of Polish truck drivers who lost their jobs, can go and beat up Ukrainian migrants that are looking for jobs in Poland. This will keep them occupied and out of the Warsaw regime’s hair, for now.
Dishonest like a European
Latvia’s regime concocted an annual report for the EU on Integration of Latvian society. The report is written in the spirit of neo-nationalist propaganda, and considered by the observers to be a pure falsification. [source]
Meanwhile Estonia is getting ready for “mass revolts” of its Russian population, by making life for Russians even more unbearable. 33% of Estonia’s population is Russian. Russians are considered non-citizens of Estonia [source]
Essentially, the US and local national elites are trying to create the situation mirroring the Ukrainian one, by starting a genocide of the Russian population in order to provoke Russia to interfere and to get NATO involved into an armed conflict. In preparation, the US is sending 10,000 troops to the Baltics.
We have to expect that they will reveal agent provocateurs, like Nikolay Strelkov, who will get organized and armed and working for the interest of NATO and against the interests of Russia, who needs peace and quiet on its borders more than anything.
Russia has other ways to influence the situation in the Baltics rather than armed conflicts. Let’s keep that in mind, if any armed groups would appear in the Baltics as a false flag attack. The Baltic countries are directly ruled by the US. As the process of pushing the US out of Europe is accelerating, so the pressure of the US on occupied countries to remain there.

Lights Out for the Putin Regime. The Coming Russian Collapse, By Alexander J. Motyl
Who are the actors here?
CFR’s flagship magazine Foreign Affairs magazine is the American Council on Foreign Relations propaganda beacon.
Alexander J. Motyl is a Ukrainian-American historian, political scientist, poet, writer, translator and painter. His short lived male-model career is omitted here.
He is a resident of New York City. He is professor of political science at Rutgers University in New Jersey. So, we have an artist/poet who also is an “expert” in Russia due to his Ukrainian ethnicity, posting what amounts to a MakeAWish list for the CFR, which is a part of the shadow of the American government. I would have to write an article on every sentence here to debunk it. In short, everything that Mr. Motyl (moth in Ukrainian) writes is a lie. Imagine a huge, fat, ugly poisonous moth crawling all over your light bulb, that’s an effect this article achieves. I feel pity for the students of the Rutgers University, getting into unplayable debt for the next 40 years to pay to listen to this wonkier. If I were them, after this article I would ask for my money back.

Most likely, it will not. It looks like the government of Belarus is letting extremists express themselves, to get them out on the meetings, to film them, to take their pictures, to reveal their connections, and money channels, to let them implicate themselves in every possible way. When the time is right the law enforcement will round them up swiftly. It took almost ten years after the Great Patriotic war to locate and catch the majority of Nazi collaborators. Now, thanks to Social media it will take no time at all. That’s why neo-Nazi’s are allowed to have meetings, and fundraisings for those who went to Donbass to kill people there. In Ukraine, some local judge just jailed a punitive battalion terrorist for torturing a self-defender (opolchentsa). This process of clearing society from the fascists will continue.

Russia is not aiming “to rule” Ukraine. Russia’s goals and objectives of the so called “Ukrainian company” have been implemented in full, namely:
a. Preventing the establishment of American military bases in Crimea “+” period: indefinitely
b. Reduction of the export of hydrocarbons on prepaid transparent scheme + differentiation of delivery routes switched to such solvent consumers as Germany “+” period long-term
c. For the military-industrial complex, – eliminating dependency on Ukrainian manufacturers — implemented 85%
d. Taking off an “agenda” Ukraine’s accession to NATO due to “autonomy and federalization” of Donbass — implemented
e. Defusing and eliminating the threat of “a great fratricidal war” for the enjoyment of the US and the West — implemented.
f. Defusing any attempts to shift the blame for theft during 25 years of independence onto a “war” with Moscow — implemented. Now we can watch how the Nazis run an economy, and laugh from a distance.
g. Russia, as a result of the coup in Kiev, received the demographic boost of about 2 million citizens, all of them are Russians who are educated and patriotic people.
h. The US received a significant blow in an information war: Kiev coup was televised day by day manual on technologies of “color revolutions” as to the destruction of the foundations of independent states.
i. Russia has received a “vaccination” to any color revolution. The internal opposition in Russia has been defeated and marginalized. Putin’s approval ratings consistently above 80%. We are almost ready for any war.

Ukrainian Forces Intensify Military Activity in Lugansk Region – LPR
Read more: http://sputniknews.com/military/20160204/1034186877/lugansk-ukrainian-forces-activity.html
“Ukrainian forces are assembling devices for artillery fire correction in southeastern Ukraine, a representative of the self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) told RIA Novosti.
“In the region of the Lozovoe village, fortification constructions were found meant for the adjustment of artillery fire,” a spokesman of LPR people’s police said, citing intelligence data.
Intensified movement of motor vehicles with personnel and ammunition has also been detected in the Lugansk region, close to the line of contact between Ukrainian government forces and LPR militia, according to the LPR spokesman.
“So the military-political leadership of Ukraine continues its policy of a military solution in the southeast of the country,” the spokesman told RIA Novosti.”
Scott,
Thanks for the report, as usual. I would just caution with the idea that France is somehow independent of the bankster oligarchy. It isn’t the US that is the problem; it is the people that Warburg was fronting for when he said to the US Congress that “We will have world government, the only question is whether it will be by consent or conquest.” The US is just an instrument of these cretins, and Russia is just a thorn in their side. If you read some of the articles at voltaire.net, you will see a strong case that France has been more extreme in its desire for the destruction of Syria than the US. Well, that is part of taking down Iran. The Airbus order is just part of unfreezing assets, as they aren’t going to let Iran buy Russian or Chinese stuff with that money.
By the way, I found your reference to Starikov as an agent provocateur to be interesting. He always seemed like just a friend of some part of the Kremlin to me. What critics of the Kremlin’s policies do you think are legitimate? I happen to think the economic and financial policies they have pursued over the years have been dangerous and may lead to a disaster – but I hope not. I assume you find the recent group The Committee of January 25th to be full of provocateurs or perhaps FSB agents. So who do you read for constructive criticism? Who isn’t a provocateur or FSB agent or employee of some oligarchical interest?
Dear Paul II,
You wrote: “I assume you find the recent group The Committee of January 25th to be full of provocateurs or perhaps FSB agents. ”
Yes.
You wrote: So who do you read for constructive criticism?”
If I find anything, I will let you know
I’m writing an overview of this and other groups and persons in my book.
It should be out soon.
Paul II,
Interesting that you have brought them up…
Could you share your thoughts about The Committee of January 25th?
I just wanted to correct one issue, The Committee of January 25th are not “FSB agents.”
Most of them, if not all are working against the Russia’s interest.
When I say “provocateurs,” I mean those who act against the national interests of Russia.
The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB) are good guys, working to protect Russia’s interest.
But there is more there, much more…
In this SITREP context: Those who try to represent any kind of armed groups acting for the “defense of Russians” in Baltics, would be considered agent provocateurs acting in interests of NATO.
You wrote: “So who do you read for constructive criticism?”
What do you mean “constructive criticism”? Constructive criticism of what?
Scott,
Thanks for your reply. I am looking forward to your book. I meant constructive criticism of Russian policy that you suspect may be mistaken. This could be their entire financial system, which is really fairly colonial, or joining the WTO, which many argue was a big victory for the West, not Russia. Or perhaps it was not helping the anti-coup people in Kharkov where, according to DNI spokesman Dolgin who was from Kharkov and at the scene, 100,000 people were at a demonstration against the coup, but the West had thousands of groups with leaders and there was only one pro-Russia group, so no leaders could be found. A small effort from Russia might have put Kharkov in the resistance camp and really limited the ability of the junta to get manpower and materiel into the fight. (http://svpressa.ru/politic/article/141195/)
To me, Kremlin policy over the years seems to be a compromise between the pro-patriotic forces and the pro-Western business and ideological groups. Thus, Russia’s policies in many things, such as Iran, have been a bit hard to understand over the years. They seem tactical and situational, not really based on some clear principal or strategy. Just an opinion, of course, and all countries have factions.
In my opinion, it is the FSB’s job to infiltrate groups like the Committee of January 25th. Just as it was the KGB’s job to set up and control supposedly pro-capitalist groups back in the day, and it was the FBI’s job to set up and control supposedly Communist groups. That is part of internal security. Countries that don’t do that are overthrown or end up like the Ukraine.
“Lavrov ignored Nuland and refused to shake her hand”
I watched the video on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pP6LSEhqMI , and it appeared at least to me that Lavrov *did* shake hands with Nuland: she extended her hand towards him, he extended his hand towards her (!), and the hands met briefly. If someone could analyse the video frame by frame, aided by some good image enhancement software perhaps, and resolve this? My best guess is that Lavrov deliberately did not squeeze her hand, just placed his palm on hers, which elicited the very obvious humiliation on her face that followed.
Count the vassal BBC and Swedish lies in this:
Sweden vs Russia – A new Cold War front?
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35489753
They are even recycling the ‘Russian submarine’ fishing boat and Russian jets in International airspace nonsense, plus the now obligatory ‘New Cold War’ meme along with the usual ‘Russian aggression’, ‘Crimea annexation’ -nobody could have guessed it and Russia ‘starting conflict in eastern Ukraine’.
Fom a purely military strategy perspective I really see no point in sending tanks to Gotland -an island.
It’s enough to make you barf.
Great article, altought I found two things I cannot agree with.
“d. Taking off an “agenda” Ukraine’s accession to NATO due to “autonomy and federalization” of Donbass — implemented”
-That is not implemented, not at all, and likely will not be, it would require 300 votes in the rada to make that happen, and that is almost an impossible number, and the laws on autonomy, that Porky is trying to get pass throught aren’t even the real laws demanded by LDPR. So even if they do get passed, it would just give some language rights.
“e. Defusing and eliminating the threat of “a great fratricidal war” for the enjoyment of the US and the West — implemented.”
-No, its ongoing on low scale with no end in sight and could erupt at any moment into a large war.

It announced a “new era of strategic arms,” in which the US intends to invest 582 billion 700 million dollars. The required amount will help the United States continue to be “a strategic key to” peace in the world………In the United States we have created for themselves a set of “special mission”, so that the war with the entire world – is a continuation of the history of the world. Meanwhile, history shows that the next world mission ends sooner or later. That turned out to be a natural for the world of the Roman Empire, and later repeated with Chinhiskhana empire. Never global monopoly on the use of force did not end for the ruling dynasty anything good.”

“US media have reported overcoming the US debt ceiling. The duty of the American federal government has overcome a mark in $ 19 trillion at the end of January. The amount of debt is about 103% of US GDP. Of this amount, 13.7 billion dollars of so-called public debt, which hold companies and individuals. Another 5.3 trillion dollars – intrastate government debt to the Fed.
President Obama is not able to change the trend, with its state debts almost doubled. A similar trend was observed in the past under President Bush – younger. This already means a mathematical progression. If the trend does not change, ie, if the United States will continue to increase its debt for every 8 years to 2 times, the 19 trillion. in 2016 are already 38 trillion. amount to 76 trillion in 2024, and by 2032 the national debt of the US economy. dollars. The question is whether the maintenance of such a country in the current economy as the global economy will withstand (?).
What do think about this Russian liberal community and the relevant economic school, nothing is yet known. Mainly Russian liberals (like a branch) offer Russian reforms, usually focusing on the best achievements of the American School of Economics respected them. Now a respected school debt reached 19 trillion. dollars, and if it were not the United States, it is hardly a country in the world is to get away with it. National assets in American foreign policy style for a long time would be reformatted. Or, as the Americans say, reloaded.
The crisis of the economic model is a system. However, this crisis is also a systemic crisis of the liberal economic model. What remains of the American liberal school (?). To shift the costs of its economy on the shoulders of other countries and nations using the US dollar as an international means of payment and currency of the mediator. And as they say, if someone does not agree with such a model, then we go to you.”

President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, after another binge, said that Russia is preparing for a military invasion of the Ukraine, and the likelihood of open conflict is now higher than last year.
In an interview with the German publication Bild, he again accused Russia that it poses a threat to both Ukraine and European countries. (Apparently after strict suggestion Merkel, petsya decided to put pressure on the pity, and began a new stuffing fabrications in the international media).
At the same time, he stated that the territory of Ukraine is now eight thousand Russian troops and a new Russian military base set up on the border . “Russia is investing heavily in preparation for war, and we do not get at any explanation,” – Poroshenko said! But no evidence has not led! Last year, the General Staff of Ukraine, has repeatedly said that Russian troops in Ukraine, no!
Do not attempt to weaken the Ukrainian authorities accuse Russia of military aggression. In this Poroshenko has repeatedly said the presence of Russian troops on its territory. In September 2015, Ukraine adopted a new military doctrine, which Russia is called an aggressor and occupier.
All this fuss suggests that the so-called president, and most likely he assistant of the American ambassador in Kiev, trying to such statements to remind the world about the existence of Ukraine! At the same time, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said that Ukraine has not defined its borders and exists within the administration of the USSR. Speaking of aggression, occupation, from the point of view of international law, it is absurd.”

On typo noticed Russian media and posted screenshots. “The Case of the day: Bild Poroshenko named Pedro” – wrote on Twitter Russian journalist Oleg Kashin.”

Russia Beats US in Cyber Policy Decision-Making – Ex-Head of Defense Intel
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Russian Interior Ministry was able to foil an attempt to rob practically all of Russia’s banks in a single swipe, the head of Russia’s cybernet department (K Unit) said Thursday.
“Last year, the K Unit exposed an international criminal group that put the entire Russian banking system under threat. At the time of their detention, the criminals were preparing a global operation on stealing money from practically all of the country’s banks,” K Unit director Alexei Moshkov said.
He added that the key part of their activities was targeted cyberattacks on processing centers of Russian and foreign banks, as well as the global system of interbank financial exchanges.

Such films will allow the NATO countries to substantiate their huge military expenses, Klintsevich said. “Today the US has a very serious problem of rearmament, the military and industrial sector needs to get financing. A mechanism of the corrupt American elite has been launched. This was in Iraq, is in Syria and around Europe,” the senator said.

although this says today
“WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s government opened a new investigation Thursday into the 2010 plane crash in Russia that killed President Lech Kaczynski, the twin brother of the chairman of the country’s ruling party.
The development could exacerbate Poland’s already deeply strained relations with Russia and is likely to deepen the ideological divide within Poland between supporters of the conservative and pro-Catholic government and a segment of society that is liberal and secular.
Party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski and others doubt the findings of state investigations by Poland and Russia, both of which determined that the crash on April 20, 2010, that killed 96 people was an accident resulting from pilot error and bad weather.
They have suggested that the crash was instead an assassination, and while their accusations are vague, they have implicated Russian leader Vladmir Putin, while also suggesting that then-Prime Minister Donald Tusk — now head of the European Council — could have been complicit.
Liberal opposition lawmakers say they see no need for a new probe and are satisfied that the crash was an accident.
Announcing the new probe Thursday, Defense Minister Antoni Macierewicz said the original investigation was riddled with “mistakes” and “abnormalities.” There will be 21 members of the new commission, many of them engineers or other technical experts, and four advisers from abroad.”
If the result on this staged investigation accuses Russia (as the equally staged British one did) the correct response would be a demand for an immediate apology and denouncement of the report from Poland.And if it is refused the cutting off of all trade and energy shipments to Poland. Strengthening of the military forces in Kaliningrad and withdrawal of the Russian Embassy from Poland and breaking official relations.Meekly accepting these insults like was done with the British slur is the absolute wrong policy to be followed.

Scott’s detailed commentary gifts us with a mix of:
1. Hopeful analysis (Russian leaders are winning on all fronts).
2. Hopeless analysis (America’s -no Zionists mentioned- leaders are so bad that the world will become a fried radiactive planet). Did Ms Nuland threaten that, Nuclear War? If so, her threat was nothing new.
The Zionist americans have been threatening to destroy the Planet in a Nuclear War since 1945. The Zionist Land Thieves have repeatedly declared, that in case they lose a war in the Middle East, they would resort to Nuclear weapons (Occupied Germany has constructed for the Zionists 5 Nuclear Missile carrying submarines).
The American Government has refused to promise -Not- to be the first to resort to the use of nuclear weapons. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent declaration to the effect that Russia does not rule out the use of nuclear weapons to defend itself, is a belated (75 year belated), response.
3. What Scott believes is the Russian Government Leaders’ -official- view on the American versus Russia confrontation in Europe (political and economic) situation.
On the whole, Scott’s analysis is not half bad, and represents hours of hard work.
Let’s get to the fun part! I’ll number these.
1. I disagree with: “Russia is not aiming “to rule” Ukraine.” [“Russia” in this sentence, means Russia’s Leadership]
If true, it is a huge error. The Ukraine is Russian! Ukrainians are part of the Russian Nation. If the sentence by Scott is an attempt to -fool- ‘them’ the Zionist American imperialists, he should never play Poker. To ‘them’ Russia is the main enemy. If this sentence by Scott is a mere passing on of official Russian propaganda, Well!
At this point in history, Russian propaganda is defensive, and infinitely (morally), superior to
American propaganda. But it is what it is.
Actually, at one point in his missive, Scott actually agrees with me.
“The occupation of Ukraine by the US and its allies enters its third year. The results are spectacular: collapse of economy and finance, collapse of industrial production, collapse of the social sphere, education and medical care, a massive exodus of several million people in two years, demographic collapses, depopulation of entire regions, bombing of major Ukrainian cities, biological warfare on the population, massive forest fires in the Chernobyl region, widepsread hunger and cold, spike in violent crimes, organ trafficking and tens of thousands of people including children missing.”
Yes, the Ukraine is an “occupation by the US.” The Ukraine is Occupied, (I wish I could capitalize), and Occupied States should be liberated! The Ukraine area was liberated once before, in World War II, and Russian and Red Flags adorned its cities.
I’ll repeat the Truth before humans and before God, The Ukraine is Russian. Russia was born in Kiev.
2. Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania. Why wait for those 10,000 American troops Scott mentions? Why whine about the mistreatment of millions of Russians who live in these Principalities?
“That’s why the US is sending an additional 10,000 of its troops and equipment to the Baltics.”
The solution is 20,000 Russian Marines, each. Do it this evening! No later than suppertime!
Scott’s hopeful solution, is that the American soldiers will eventually get homesick, and leave the Baltic Principalities, of their own accord. Just as they are doing in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guantanamo, Iraq, Afghanistan, Germany, Japan, and Brooklyn. Wait! America is actually sending reinforcements to these areas, specially Afghanistan, and Iraq; they are not withdrawing.
Vietnam made the Zionist American Terrorist Troops withdraw. Now there’s an idea!
I do not have all week to parse Scott’s missives, but there is one more piece worth examining.
3. “Russia, as a result of the coup in Kiev, received the demographic boost of about 2 million citizens, all of them are Russians who are educated and patriotic people.”
Is Scott implying that the expelling of 2 million Russians (by imperialist military force of the proto-fascist Kiev regime), from their homes, was one of “Russia’s goals and objectives” ??? Scott is incorrect (I hope). The Russian Nation gains nothing from allowing the American terrorists to oust its Russian people from their homes, in a great engineered diaspora, and drive them – East. Here, Russia has suffered a great Reverse, (this is Ethnic Cleansing – not a victory). Scott! This Reverse must be Reversed!
Scott! You are a fine person. You have done all the hard work, and I have had all the fun.
God Bless!
For the Democratic Republics!
Hi, Peter J.Antonsen
First of all, the analyses you mentioned is not mine, but written by Vyacheslav Morozov. I try to present the points of view of other people, mostly.
Second,
You wrote: “1. I disagree with: “Russia is not aiming “to rule” Ukraine.”
You’re an American, so you don’t understand. It’s our land that was cut from our country populated by our people. We are not aiming to “rule” Ukraine, we want everything and everyone back home.
Gaither Stewart’s article
THE PARTITION OF UKRAINE AND THE REASSEMBLING OF RUSSIAN LANDS IN DIASPORA
http://www.greanvillepost.com/2016/02/02/114908/
is good in explaining things.
PS. There is no such animal as a Republican Democracy, because the rule of un-elected few cannot be democratic by definition.
See you in the Russian Empire…
Scott
Scott,
“There is no such animal as a Republican Democracy, because the rule of un-elected few cannot be democratic by definition.
See you in the Russian Empire…”
In a Democratic Republic, the citizenry (democratically) elect Representatives to:
1. Do their bidding (represent their interests in their Parliament-Congress-Duma). Their Representatives may bargain with Representatives from other districts, agree on a compromise Bill/Act, and then vote on the compromises, so that they may attain a portion of their district’s needs.
Democracy needs a Republic, and a Republic needs Democracy. One may not function without the loving Embrace of the other.
2. Those who favor an “Empire” – controlled by whom? Controlled by our Betters? A gifted elite of Machiavellian ‘Princes’? Or some alignment of Oligarchs? These are your views. They are not mine.
I will oppose such elitist, undemocratic, and cynical views, where I see them. Russia’s leaders, including Vladimir Putin, are functioning in a Democratic Republic, one that is in transition, one that is not perfectly formed, but one that is putting up one hell of a fight against Zionist American world imperialism.
In 2016, the Russians, vote, elect, legislate, hold Press Conferences, lead discussions with students, answer all very tough and direct questions, and on the level of Foreign policy, are putting up the best resistance to World Imperialism in their history. They are making mistakes, and have divided opinions; but it is those divided opinions that render Democratic Republics far more effective governing bodies (because of their being able to construct effective and informed policies), than any compilation of totalitarian leadership (which may momentarily appear efficient), but will (without the corrective imput of the citizenry) fall disastrously short. The experiences of Napoleon and Hitler’s “Empire”s come to mind.
Must I recall the Marxist Lemonist give away of the store in 1990? The Russian Duma was bombarded by the pro American Quislings. The people, the citizens are everything. Progress is not possible without them, and their direct participation.
The VISION:
Respect for all! Bow to none!
A citizenry of Men and Women, well armed, respecting the rights of their citizens, and allowing them to democratically set policy. The Minutemen serve the people, not the reverse.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal… governments are instituted among men, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed;” Jefferson
For the Democratic Republics!
Peter, with all my respect.
You wrote: “In a Democratic Republic, the citizenry (democratically) elect Representatives to:”
Really?
1. You must be a member of one of two parties to vote.
2. Non members can’t vote, because they can’t register to vote. If you come to a voting place on election day and you are not registered to vote as a republican or democrat, you can’t vote. Your name isn’t in one of their books with a signature next to your name, so you can’t vote, even if you are a citizen.
How can you think that it’s democratic? To deny citizens their voting rights because their are not members of two parties?
3. As a member of Democratic or Republican party, you never get to chose your party bosses from your local people. You are told for whom to vote. You came to your party meetings, and you get names of people you have to vote for, including local judges, mayors, governors, and including your party bosses and presidential candidates. Those people have been decided for you. You even being told whom out of two candidates to support.
4. Your vote is just to confirm your “representatives” whom you have never chosen, but you were told to vote for.
5. To meet with your so called “representatives” you have to pay from $50 to several hundred dollars for a lunch placement, that your party bosses call “fundraising.” If you’re not a member of your local country club, you won’t even know about these lunches.
6. Even inside your party, Democratic and Republican, you don’t have direct voting rights.
7. In some states they toss a coin, instead of counting votes.
In democracy, people vote directly to elect lawmakers and members of local and state governments.
In republic, like the US, only party members are avowed to choose between a couple of candidates that have already been chosen by their party bosses.
You wrote: “2. Those who favor an “Empire” – controlled by whom?
Russia has a direct voting system. People vote directly for their candidates. You don’t have to be a party member to vote. In Russia there are over 40 major parties. Saying “Russian Empire” I mean a restored Russia in its historical borders, and not a monarchy.
You wrote: “Controlled by our Betters? A gifted elite of Machiavellian ‘Princes’? Or some alignment of Oligarchs? These are your views. They are not mine. ”
What you describe here is the system of control in the US.
As I just explained, republics cannot be democracies by design. If you can call for a “Democratic Republic” as your ideal statehood; why can’t I call for Russian Empire, as my ideal statehood?
Not every Swede think like jackass “Swedish General Anders Brännström”, we like every one else have those that say anything to achieve personal goals. Yes there are many of them in sweden but not all…. i’m not one of them!
Correct me, if I am wrong, but if you cool down those steelmaking furnaces you can’t restart them, you have to build everything new from scratch.
That is not exactly. A blast-furnace has to be shut down gradually , reducing the part of iron-ore and increassing the coal -part , once gone to a minimum one can let him cool down in a controlled manner. That is necessary for example at replacement of the inner structure made from refractary slabs which wore out and need replacement every 10-20 years. With this maintenance a
blast -furnace can live 60-100 years easily.
Fortruss carries a report that the Duma has been approached to postpone Presidential elections and parliamentary elections when Rus is under pressure due to sanctions and to amend constituton to protect Rus from the threat of foreign inspired change of government and subsequent Disintigration……ewhen there is a military or state of emergency or economic crisis elections to be postponed until 6 months after expiration of said emergency
sorry cannot copy paste link…….

Yes, canceling elections and Constitutional procedure would suck the heart out of the Russian people. They have proven highly competent. The leaders they have democratically elected have performed admirably (better than any of their dictators or Kings)..
They elected Vladimir Putin – against opposition. Polls show the Russian people to be very satisfied with their choice. Furthermore, the Duma has performed admirably, in assisting the Russian resistance to the imperialist pressure.
Examine the performance of the post-constitutional (after) November 22, 1963, American Government. From the Democratic Republic, when the people elected John F. Kennedy, compare to the Zionist American Oligarch puppets, LB Johnson, Nixon, Ford, to the Bushs, Clinton, and Obomber. See the difference? Millions of dead, Nations destroyed, economies de-industrialized, Banking unbalanced, and the threat of Nuclear War.
Aim High!
Peter, salient point on the elections and the choices of the people of the RF.
Contrary to my comment on Fortruss. I do though think they need to follow up on the criminalisation of politicians and government employees who take money from foreign agents. Stop the funds of the US and allies from corrupting the democratic process and make it not just harsh for those that receive the funds but for their immediate kin too.
J
I completely agree.
Interestingly, within the US, if a politician is found to have taken $money from foreign sources, he/she could be accused of Treason (a capital crime). Of course, politicians taking Tons of $money from foreign Zionist sources is not considered a crime, (often these funds are re-routed through domestic Zionist groups).
Nevertheless, the principle is clear, foreign entities should not interfere in a nation’s domestic politics (which is a violation of a Nation’s Sovereignty).
I guess you know this; the American Oligarchs decide who wins the Mexican elections, and those of many other nations. And we recall Ms Nuland’s famous handicapping of future leaders in Kiev.
Be vigilant, but don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.
” The power that these small nameless people wield over our lives and over our children’s future is obscene and horrendous.” Quite so, but musn’t forget that power is only delegated to them by the oligarchs; the Oxfam report shows that the 62 richest billionaires own more than half the people in the world own.
Yes, yes, the EU is DEFYING the US by building its own military. They can get away w that, but NOT w lifting the Russian sanctions that hurt their own economies? I don’t think the two go together. Perhaps building their own military isn’t defying the US. I think when we see them as US victims that’s usually a fiction targeted at their own citizens. US is fully onboard w an EU security force, as a means to prevent EU secession by its members; after all, they can’t use NATO against them when they learn that the Greek example is going to be applied to them, too.
Nor is poor, poor EU just OVERWHELMED by immigrants. Starikov’s video about how all their normal procedures for handling immigrants, except Ukrainians, have been suspended seems to indicate that this has been forced upon them by the US.
But there is a good deal of self-interest among the EU’s “players” too: What better way to incapacitate the European left and anti-austerity than to invigorate the right w immigration and security obsession!
Thanks for all your information as always, Scott.
Trying to find the French doc with Eng subs, all are removed. Any pointers? (Feb 5th).
“I can not understand why we are once again” fed “digital” exercise “about the alleged reduction of the public debt is nothing real this information does not reflect.” – Wrote the ex-Finance Minister, MP from the BPP Viktor Pynzenyk on his page on the social network Facebook.
He believes that over the past year state debt of Ukraine has not decreased, as reported in the official reports, and increased by 43% or 488 billion. UAH. This opinion he had taken out of the analysis of disclosed data on the amount of direct and guaranteed debt which on January 1, 2016 amounted to 1.5718 trillion USD.
“When the result data to reduce the state debt indicators are expressed in US dollars, exchange rate which (official) has grown in the past year with the 15.77 (as of 01.01.2015 r ..) to 24.00 UAH. (As on 01.01.2016, the) for a dollar. or 52%. Such an assessment would have had the right to exist to characterize the dynamics of the debt, if all our debt was external, that is done in foreign currency. But by the beginning of 2015 the total debt .. to 1.1008 trillion USD appearance amounted to UAH 611.9 billion and it only changed with the growth rate, but UAH 488.9 billion (44.4%) -….. it is an internal, hryvnia debt on a dollar does not affect And of course, with the growth of the exchange rate the dollar equivalent in national currency of debt is significantly reduced “, -. V.Pinzenik writes.
According to calculations of policy, of the total debt growth in the past year 488 billion. UAH., 320 billion. Are directional in nature. 168 billion. UAH. attitude to the course do not have.
Most likely, Mrs. Yaresko accustomed to use the dollar currency may therefore occur such “mistakes.”
According to the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, the total amount of public and publicly guaranteed debt in the hryvnia equivalent at 31 December 2015 amounted to 1.572 trillion USD. This is 42.78%, or 470 932 000 000 UAH., Compared with the beginning of the year.”

At an emergency meeting of the government held on 4 February, all the ministers, who submitted his resignation earlier, took their statements, except Abramavichusa.
Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Alex Pavlenko, who wrote a letter of resignation under pressure from the faction “Self-help”, she also pushes him to the post, he may go against the line of his own party.
Minister of Information Policy Yuriy Stets, who resigned Dec. 8, 2015, then explained his decision by saying that the already completed all the necessary functions, presumably exhausted itself, he argues in this postu.Teper that he failed to make the main thing – to establish dialogue with the public –
“I publicly declare that retract his resignation, but clearly want to make it clear to all the representatives of the authorities, that only dialogue with the public can give us a chance to save the country.” – Stets said.
Alexander Kvitashvili, Minister of Health, who wrote a letter of resignation more July 2, 2015, which did not find a common language with the Parliament, was the most eloquent “I want to publicly declare that the take back my resignation. I came to Ukraine to work and fight for the future of this beautiful country. I would like to do it, and I want to do it. I do not want to leave. I do not want to leave things half-unfinished ”
Minister of infrastructure Andrew Pivovarsky, who resigned Dec. 11, 2015, and announced its readiness to publicly withdraw the resignation, “provided that the principles on which my colleagues have talked about which I am speaking, will be respected.” The principal for him is a fair salary for civil servants and the introduction of transparent public procurement system. The first of these conditions was one of the reasons for the Minister’s decision to dismiss.
The only minister who refused to participate in the next circus this Minister of Economic Development and Trade Aivaras Abromavicius. “It is this will not take part”, – reported the press service of the Ministry of Economic Development chapter.
A.Abromavichus resigned on February 3. The key factors, he said, have become systemic pressure on the ministry, the lack of incentives to work and the attempts of the faction “Block Poroshenko” to intervene in the work of the ministry. A.Abromavichus stressed that he would not be a “screen” for all sorts of schemes and attempts to establish control over cash flows. It is clear, in his view the cash flows were controlled only by his office and send them need not Ukraine, and confirmed that the violent reaction of Western politicians in his resignation letter. Miscellaneous clowns they are somehow not noticed.
As the curtain sounded optimistic statement Yatsenyuk –
“We have taken the following decision: to work together as one team, and the decision on the preparation and promulgation of clear, step by step action plan for the next 12 months at least.”

February 3, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, sharply criticized the initiative of the Kiev Regional Council on the implementation of the direct election of regional governors, calling it bizarre and irresponsible. Poroshenko also said that will not allow the federalization of Ukraine.
According to the Director of the Agency of strategic communications, political scientist Minsk expert group Oleg Bondarenko, Ukraine is already a real federation. He expressed this opinion at the round table “The elections of governors in Ukraine as inevitable federalization”, held on February 4 in Moscow. “In addition to the original stand-alone, and now acceded to the Russian Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics, Ukraine also has broad powers regional oligarchy. In addition, Poroshenko said about the necessity of national autonomy for the Crimean Tatars. Recall that in Ukraine still live Rusyns, Hungarians, Bulgarians, Romanians, they can also ask themselves similar autonomy, “- said the expert. Bondarenko also noted that the implementation of the Minsk agreements signed by Ukraine also implies federalization.
The political scientist believes that, despite the statement Poroshenko, in fact gubernatorial elections can be introduced in Ukraine later this year, as is now the only chance to save this state one – given the right to elect governors in a federal format field.”

“The leader of public movement “Ukrainian choice” Victor Medvedchuk said that the effect of another “reset” as the Verkhovna Rada and the government will still be zero.
So he commented on the words of the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada from the Party Block Petro Poroshenko Sergey Leshchenko, who said that the Prime Minister -Minister Yatsenyuk trying to form a government through the appointment of several other ministers.
“Enough to produce” dogovornyaki “in this parliament in the eyes of the state. It is time for a complete “reset” the authorities “, said Leshchenko.
He also urged the change of Prime Minister, the Attorney General, Minister of Interior and” clean parliament from the people who are accused of corruption. ”
” Just the effect of déjà vu to some. “Reboots” have the power – the parliament and government. The effect is zero. This brings to mind familiar from childhood Krylov’s fable: “And you, my friends, no matter how sit down, all the musicians not fit”, “- said Viktor Medvedchuk.”

Closing the checkpoint entry and exit “Zaytsevo” in the city of Gorlovka area in the zone of the so-called “ATO” in Donbas forced residents of nearby settlements to go to work on minefields. As a result, only two people per day were blown up by mines and sent to the nearest hospital.
On Thursday, February 4th, at a briefing in Kiev, said deputy head of the special OSCE monitoring mission Alexander Hug.
“The mines around the checkpoints is common,” – said the OSCE representative casually.
Checkpoint “Zaytsevo” is located on the highway Donetsk – Gorlovka – Mallorcan – Zaytsevo – Artemovsk, sector “C”, the Ukrainian side closed February 3 ostensibly because of the constant attacks from the militia DNR.”

The head of the National Bank of Ukraine Valeriy Gontareva during today’s report in Parliament said that foreign exchange earnings in Ukraine declined sharply due to the unfavorable situation on the world markets and the Russian sanctions.
“However, oil parallel decline and steel prices, food prices, which provide the lion’s share of foreign exchange earnings in Ukraine. The average value of the proceeds of the enterprises of metallurgy and mining industry decreased by a quarter, as compared to December. minus 25% was only in comparison with December. and if you compare with the same period last year, only metallurgy showed minus 39 % “, – said Gontareva.
this additional factor is to limit exports to Russia and transit of domestic products to Asia through Russian territory.
” According to our estimates, this year from 2.5 billion in the current account deficit will be 1.1 billion.. due to these restrictions, “- said Gontareva.

“A very entertaining interview with the head of the Bakhchisaray district of Crimea about the mood of the Crimean Tatars and the current problems of integration of the Crimean Tatar population in the new Russian reality.”

okdky reverting back here…
After the reunification of Crimea with Russia, the majority of the local employees of the SBU decided to stay on the Peninsula and to transfer to the service of Russian law enforcement.
As was stated by the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on national security and defence, Sergey Pashinsky, Kiev has lost more than 2 thousand employees. Only 215 people are left the territory of Ukraine.
According to the Ukrainian official, the remaining staff supported the position of Russia or even “were agents of the Kremlin”.
A similar situation happened with the military. Out of 20 thousand troops on the mainland, only 6,000 have returned. As was previously reported, the Ukrainian nationalists do not share the “aspirations” of the Tatars who identify with Crimea.”

As a citizen, I also have claims on our leadership. But I look at reality objectively. What did the Ukraine receive 25 years ago? People still remember ‘kravchuchki’ (coupons – a worthless currency ed). The country with the world’s fourth economic potential became a marketplace of candidates and preachers. Then we elected Kuchma and saw the mushrooming of small and medium sized enterprises. The country thrived for two years. Then there was the Orange Revolution and Yushchenko dismantled the checks that could have prevented the extremism of some ‘rotten oranges’. Then we chose Yanukovich – a good economic manager. Everything was going to be alright for everyone.
Q- Are you kidding when you say that Yanukovych was a good manager?
A- I’m just reminding those who suffer from amnesia of what was happening in our country. They’ve forgotten everything. God gave us one, then another and a third president, but the Ukrainians were still unhappy. “You didn’t want Yushchenko, so take Yanukovych!” Then we chose Poroshenko. And unlucky us, – in a year he has also become a villain!
But, my dear friends, let us ask ourselves one simple question: shall you drink when you go to war?
Let me tell you about the number of irretrievable noncombat losses of the Ukrainian army. Three regiments – more than a thousand people – were lost in Kiev’s anti-terrorist operation. The shooting of comrades-in-arms, mishandling of weapons and injuries resulting in death, accidents and supposedly heart disease!
Who worked in the military medical commissions? The president? No, it was the doctor of the district clinic who ‘made’ a healthy Ivan ‘sick’ for a bribe of 100-200 hryvnia, but a sick one who had no money to pay was sent to fight, only to start drinking when he came home.
There was the case of a drunk ‘hero’ throwing a grenade at a small stove, killing thirteen people! What army do they belong to? Is Poroshenko to blame? Or Shokin (the Prosecutor General – ed) Or Matios?
Everyone is shouting: “The volunteer battalions are being persecuted!” Fifty-four people from the ‘Aydar’ Battalion were brought to trial and sentenced for robbery. We had to stop the ‘Tornado’ battalion with force. We’ve already sent nine people to court, and another fifteen are wanted.
I can tell you what’s happening to our fight against corruption. We’ve already produced so many ‘fighters’ that now I’m scared. Everyone wants a license for investigative activities – to spy on their neighbors.
They say sixty bosses of criminal gangs are back in the Ukraine. Sixty! And before there were only two – both retired.
I’ll tell you about the real criminal situation. Before, between three and ten cars were stolen per day across the country, now fifteen cars are stolen in Kiev alone. And what about robbery and burglary? What about armed crimes? Have grenades ever exploded in Kiev’s suburbs? I’m afraid for family and my children. And if the state doesn’t protect them, I’ll have to do it myself!”

article from Ukr Chief prosecutor, rampant crime in Ukraine etc………..
state of ukraine
High prices for utilities current Ukrainian government has brought people to extreme poverty. Reckoned literally every penny. Residents of the occupied APU Mariupol now prefer not to pay for gas at the cash desks of the bank, and in the subscriber service, because there is no need to pay a commission of three hryvnia, which translated into dollars is 12 cents.
Particularly long queues in the subscriber service Ordzhonikinzevskogo district of Mariupol. People are allowed to stand for hours in order to save a penny, which is not enough even for a loaf of bread.
“I have a small pension, and so. Here I stand, not to overpay, – said pensioner Valentina. – The cashier takes very slowly, and therefore formed a long queue. And if you do not pay, you may turn off the gas, so you have to stand in line. ”
“I stood in line for about an hour, and they come and break collection. So maybe I do not have time to pay today. We’ll have to come back another day, “- says resident Sergei Ordzhonikidze district.
People say that can turn off the gas and if supervisors feel that the consumer is not paid in addition some money. Therefore Mariupol residents, particularly seniors, prefer a subscription service, where you can make a reconciliation. After making the required amount remains except on poor nutrition in humans. But to be in the winter because of the debt in a cold apartment – much worse.”

particularly when shipyard is bankrupt
On the Azov shipyard in Mariupol new director Dmitry Lyashov, guidance now less than a year, took a course to bring the plant into bankruptcy. Due to the lack of orders sent to a reduced working schedule and the plant states at the same time swell. In the form of wages workers receive a ridiculous amount – about 100 hryvnia.
The patience of the workers, it seems, came to an end, and today at 7 am Azov shipyard workers came to the rally. Dozens of people, who yesterday received a salary instead of the usual 100-200 UAH., Gathered in the entrance of the plant area. Mariupol and demanded an explanation from the management.
“I paid 110 UAH now, even though I worked a full half -. 6 shifts I worked 4 because I was sent on a 2/3 schedule, because there is no work, – the work -. Why leaders are not looking for a job for us? thereby increasing the staffing of those who work in the plant? “.
On these questions, Deputy General Director for Production ASRZ Senakosov Eugene, who came out to the protesters, nothing concrete could not answer.
The answer is the Deputy General Director for Production ASRZ Eugene Senakosova was categorical: “In December all got paid,” – he said. So, the level of wages in 100 UAH. To guide – the norm?
Fight with the leadership decided to ordinary workers. One of the activists Sergey Borschevitsky said the new union was created yesterday at the company. He invited all interested persons to withdraw from the union of the old and usher in a new, to have someone to protect workers’ rights and control the enterprise.
“Manual hiding from us – he said -… We have to put things in order here do not have to manage the plant pensioners We’ve got a lot of people with higher education who work ordinary workers And our deputy director for almost 70 years.”.
Work rigging shop Ruslan Lutsenko is convinced that leaders are now just rob the plant. “They destroy the factory, so you buy it for a penny, – he said -.. They say themselves that must come a new owner Here they are under new ownership rob the plant and make their premises Carried scrap metal, exported machines from the factory everyone is cut out.. . It is not clear what connects the shop. But the plant has been working, and it never was. ”
