“…Today Ukraine is central to our 25 year Transatlantic quest for a “Europe whole, free and at peace.”
Testimony
Victoria Nuland
Assistant Secretary, Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs
Statement Before the House Foreign Affairs Committee
Washington, DC
March 4, 2015
120 tanks etc just delivered to Latvia-whose president is currently President of EU
note this is part of “Operation Resolve”-does the name subconsciously give it away, NATO will attack until the russia “problem is resolved”, in other words, wiped off the face of the continent as an effective country?
Almost impossible for rus to deal with this absurdity, irony, surely?
BTW , would an EU army enable EU to be independant of NATO, with a proper EU foreign policy that is independent of USA? But it is viewed as provocation by Rus , and politicians wish to make it subservient to NATO……..Uk and USA don’t want to be left out of it.
So EU doing its own thing, each NATO country doing its own thing, USA NATO doing its own thing but trying to make sure every NATO country does something, and those countries not fully part of NATO being drawn towards it even more surely, sure is looking messy and confused, increasing the chances something will happen by accident or design.
Maastricht treaty which created EU had a provision for an EU army, which they began to form. US threw such a hissy fit that they gave it up, put it under NATO (US) command.
It is possible that Russia’s “objections” are not sincere.
Russia should encouragev eu army which will dilute the valuevof mortal enemy ofvrussia which isvparasite England which uses Nato under American armsvto bullyvworld.
No doubt the English parasites are not happy with EU army and juncker.
That points that it is good for Russia -EU relationship if Nato is sidelined.
” March 10. /TASS/. Russian military experts will inspect an area in northern France where NATO is going to hold an exercise, Sergei Ryzhkov, the director of the Russian National Center for Reduction of Nuclear Risks told TASS.
“In line with the 2011 Vienna document on trust-building measures a Russian inspecting group will do inspection of the aforesaid area of the French territory from March 10 through to March 13,” he said.
The area in question has been chosen for a joint headquarters exercise of the new Army rapid reaction corp. It has been codenamed Citadel Kleber 2015. Army units from Belgium, Britain, Germany, Greece, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Canada, the Netherlands, Romania, the U.S., Turkey, and France have been invited to attend.
The goal of the inspection is to establish the size of military activity subject to prior notification that will be carried out within the given region.”
So the 2011 Vienna document is not defunct????/ But ignored by some co-signers eg recent exercises in Baltics-note these have not been invited?????
Or is it just France being nice to Russ so Mistral can be handed over?
More questions than answers………..
The Lithuanian president has told the BBC’s Katya Adler that her country is “already under attack” and that conscription is being reintroduced in Lithuania as a response to threats in the region.
Dalia Grybauskaite said that the country needed to be able to protect itself as it was in the “frontier”. She said her country bordered Russia and there were “threats and exercises practically every day”.
—————-
Yeah, I can sympathize with her. I’ve been under attack from the high school football team. The HS is only a few blocks away and they keep practicing and working out, so I’m sure that any day now they will attack my house. I better get some gun and be prepared to defend myself when they do — not to mention that the town police are only a half mile from my house, and I know they practice shooting things. In fact, I’m already being attacked by most everyone in town now, and there are threats everywhere! So far the COMED electric trucks have only driven by on the street in front of the house but I know they are a threat and any day now they will drive up on the lawn and crash into the house.
Really, doctor, it’s true — I’m not hallucinating. You can take off this funny white jacket with the straps on it.
Yes, and I hear his voice in my head (but he keeps saying good and true things, unlike the empire’s voice).
It’s strange when the pressure of the empire causes politicians to speak and act as if they were insane, or on drugs (or not getting enough of them?), whether they are crazy or not. But this reflects the US howling about how Russia was being aggressive and warlike when conducting exercises on Russian territory (in response to NATO making threats, doing military maneuvers and building up arms on Russia’s borders).
Again, this reminds me of the gang of cops beating up on a semi conscious guy on the ground while shouting ‘Stop resisting. Drop the [non-existent] gun.’ before shooting him dead.
And also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality-based_community
…
The source of the term is a quotation in an October 17, 2004, The New York Times Magazine article by writer Ron Suskind, “Faith, Certainty and the Presidency of George W. Bush,” quoting an unnamed aide to George W. Bush (later attributed to Karl Rove[1]):
The aide said that guys like me were “in what we call the reality-based community,” which he defined as people who “believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.” … “That’s not the way the world really works anymore,” he continued. “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”[2]
…
Except we are all not part of the empire and what we do is to make sure the empire fails to achieve its goals. That’s called a community..
Empire v/s Community..
Empire always leeches off its subjects but the community only uses what is members give it hence it is not as powerful unless more of them take an interest.
The other day I caught a terrible cold [without mittens] and checked out my newly ascribed doctor. Surely enough, I found out that quite a few of her patients were sick. ‘Not a good sign,’ I thought.
Huffing and puffing I worked my way into her office, sat down with a hanky in hand, across the woman and asked her [right off the bat], “Do you have anything against this cough, ma’am?”
She looked me up and down with curious red little eyes, for a while and then whispered back, very thoughtfully and with a wry smile, “No…”
Crimean News Agency – The MP and coordinator of the “Information Resistance” group, referring to the General Staff and Ministry of Defense of Ukraine says that the cost of the assets left by the Ukrainian Navy in Crimea and Sevastopol is worth UAH 1 billion 495 million.
At the same time, 11 warships, 6 supporting vessels, 2,363 vehicles, 3 aircrafts, and 6 coastal anti-ship systems were left on the occupied territory.
The other munitions remaining in the Crimea have not been estimated yet, according to the MP.
Tymchuk also notes that Ukraine negotiates with the West about the possibility of transferring Navy Coast Guard cutters, (from the US, for free), corvettes and minesweepers to Ukraine. According to him, it will be formerly used equipment.
MFA says NATO ships on exercise near Crimea are “a provocation”.
Meanwhile russ exercises are taking place in Crimean region-The military’s Southern Federal District announced March 5 that 500 pieces of heavy weaponry or military equipment were being used in the drills conducted by Russia’s air-defense units, whose job is to repel attacks by aircraft and missiles.
Russian border guards in Crimea claim they have arrested a suspect in the 2002 hostage-taking incident at Moscow’s Dubrovka Theater.
The press service for the Crimean branch of the Federal Security Service (FSB) border guards announced March 5 it has “succeeded in exposing a terrorist who took part in the taking of hostages during the musical ‘Nord-Ost’ in 2002.”
The Centre for Policy and Research on Turkey May 6 to conduct public conference entitled “Ukrainian Crisis and the Atrocities in Crimea: The Never-Ending Persecution of Crimean Tatars”.
The conference to take place in Strand Campus, King’s College London, UK. Dr. Rory Finnin, Ms. Eleanor Knott and Ms. Melek Maksudoğlu to give talks, Professor Orlando Figes, Professor of History, Birkbeck College, University of London will chair the event.
The documentary screening of “Son of Crimea: Struggle of a People”, which has recently been translated into English, to be followed by the Conference. It will include a one-hour section of the documentary.
Discredited Tatar leader Mustafa Jemilev is to make representations to EU re tatar treatment, human rights/abuses etc, Brussels March 16 at a NATO meeting…
Khayser Jemilev now is being held on three charges under the Russian Criminal Code, including murder and the illegal possession of weapons…..ANKARA (QHA) – Solidarity with Crimea party, organized by Crimean Tatar Committee on Culture and Mutual Assistance of Turkey (Dernek), took place in Ankara March 7.
….watch out for ‘defence of minorities’ concerns?OSCE is concerned about media reporting in Crimea.Ongoing tatar representation issues in Crimea.
The West will never give up on using Crimea as cause of propaganda and derision.
They obscure the fact that 25, 600 men from Russian military were legally stationed by treaty and contract in Crimea. Just because some were exchanged for polite green men does not mean the legal terms were breached. Just specially trained to act without firing one deadly shot.
Now they are boasting on BBC that a poll they have shows 61% want to remain attached to Ukraine.
I think they mean 61 people.
Ukraine has shown its love for Crimea by bombs, cutting off electricity, water, mining the bridges and roads and generally doing junta democratic actions like threatening invasions.
As for the Crimean Tartars, well, they have been offered equal protection under the law, transference to any other place in RF they might be happier and compensations for losses.
Those, of course, are dastardly deeds by Putin.
Expect more and worse coming toward Russia from the whores of Brussels and vassals of the Hegemon.
Russia Responds To European Army Proposal: Rattles “Nuclear” Sabre
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/09/2015 – 09:02
Having specifically aimed his call for a unified European Army at “reacting credibly to show Russia that Europe is serious about defending its values,” it is no surprise that Russia has responded to Jean-Claude Juncker’s statements. As TASS reports, first deputy chairman of the United Russia faction in the State Duma, Frants Klintsevich, told the media on Sunday that “in the nuclear age extra armies do not provide any additional security. But they surely can play a provocative role,” adding it was regrettable that such ideas had already met with some support.
The US is urging the EU to spend more % of GDP for defense/army (purchasing equipment from USA),
simultaneously they claim that they (US) cannot guarantee EU´s security alone,
so there has to be one EU army…
And after the European idiots arrange for that the Americans will take it over under their (NATO) command.
Uffff.
YAWN. Another ‘Putin is part of the fifth column’ post. So that’s why the EU is sanctioning Russia? That’s why NATO is waging war against them? That’s why Soros and the State Department are trying to organize little Maidans against Putin? Because they’re trying to help him that way?
Do you people ever actually listen to your own theories?
[ Note from moderation: I saw this remark of yours after you had posted your reply:
OOOPS!

I’d say Putin is in the 60th column — a column all by itself but in which the other columns are factors, and can join with him. He doesn’t strike me as the sort of fellow who follows columns, but stays is his own man who on top of the various movements and interests.
At the same time I wonder why Cameron is opposed to an EU Army. In my mind that would indicate that the EU Army is some kind of threat to the Anglo-Americans. I don’t Think Cameron suddenly wants Peace on Earth. http://sputniknews.com/europe/20150309/1019266848.html
“..Principally, opponents of the plan point to the fact that European interests are already protected by NATO, and that the creation of a European military would only interfere with existing defenses…”
Ofcpurse Eu armybis threatvto influnce of a third rate country like england which siphons off a lot of Nato money from America for her protection and for use of American ibflunce to bully others on behalf of England.
With Nato neutered whwre will be a third rate cpintry luje England be standing?
America does not need Nato it iscneeded by one. Country only and that is England which created Nato for bullying rest of Europe especially Germany and kerping Rusdians out.
It just occurred to me, maybe Cameron, with a word from the US, is figuring that a EU army would not be NATO, and not under the thumb of the US as much as NATO.
It’s trouble I think, but it would mean the US and England would have to rope in yet another organization which might go off message.
Nemtsov’s Ukrainian girlfriend was sent back to Kiev by Russia, almost as fast as Israelis & Saudis were flown out of the USA after 11 Sep 2001 … Ganna Duritska who led Nemtsov to death … with no winter coat on him, a key clue
Nato is propagandising as usual, but Moscow’s story on the Nemtsov murder is also very suspect. Russia says Chechens were so professional in executing a hit … but stupid enough to agree to do this on the Kremlin’s doorstep, carrying trackable mobile phones and on video … like ‘dropped ID’ in the Charlie Hebdo theatre … and that Hebdo b-shite is now an excuse for the Nemtsov murder too!
Longtime Russia-based expert John Helmer, notes the fact Boris Nemtsov had no overcoat nor hat on a freezing winter night. Yes he had taken taxi to the restaurant … but SOMEONE convinced him to NOT take a taxi home & walk home 30 minutes with no winter wear in freezing Moscow (!) & across that bridge where he was killed … seems to be only 1 possible person to get him to risk illness, and be killed doing so, Nemtsov companion Ukrainian girlfriend Ganna Duritska … treated SO gently by Moscow & quickly released to go back to Kiev!
Chechens in Boston bombing, Chechens in Moscow … Chechnya President Ramzan Kadyrov is making edgy statements, seems to feel a dirty game, a propaganda trap for himself & his region, a game which could help tear Russia apart as Muslims are scapegoated
Looks increasingly as if Putin & Nato are secretly on the same team, the globalist war & chaos team … quietly colluding on the Ukraine carnage … as some have said all along
Probably Kadyrov is already out of control as s** t hits the fan.
he made only 2 posts on Instagram concerning Nemtsov´s murder,
the first one when he did not knew yet about his “combat comrade” involved and arrested. http://www.mail.com/int/news/europe/3403474-putin-honors-chechen-leader-who-praised-nemtsov-suspect.html#.1272-stage-hero1-2
I was thinking he built a mess for Putin and will not be appraised…but somehow the situation evolved by itself. Of course the medal awarded was not for Kadyrov´s comments – that is just a remark for BOT TAK, Penelope etc.
To sum it up: it is building up,
starting with Kadyrov´s statement he would do anything for Putin (no, I do not past links, google it by yourself), followed by news that he builds a unit…
he just destroyed the already spoiled PR of Kremlin. Of course there is a chance that the few arrested men were just cheated useful idiots,
even drafted by FSU agent, who of course acted on order of Mossad (as not to expose CIA) and gives himself as fake FSB agent who wants to please Mr. Putin in behalf of Mr. Surkov.
Of course I do not believe what the Nemtsov´s opposition comrade is talking repeteadly that Putin must have known personally about the operation.
I don’t think you are right. But I certainly don’t have enough information about Nemtsov murder.
Don’t forget that this whole standoff between Russia and the West began in Syria. It was the first time since 1945. that Russia militarily stopped the West in invading yet another territory and country.
The Ukrainian crises was a Western response to that.
Probably the most dangerous spot in this conflict is Iran, because of the relentless effort by the Zionist part of Anglo-Zionist axis to push for the war there. I hope that Russia (with Chinese assistance) prevails in Ukraine, prevails in Iran and prevails in Syria.
Any compromise with the West on any of this issues will inevitably lead to the defeat of Russia and China together.
Therefore we should watch and see what happens on these 3 fronts.
The Wend, Hi. What is someone who professes to believe what “The Master” says he believes doing on this site? His farrago of non sequitors could come only from a troll.
And that goes for his team-mate, the particular Anonymous who preceded him.
I tend to agree, until I see Putin implement at least some of what Starikov outlines in “Rouble Nationalisation” he hasn’t taken on the real criminals, maybe he’s biding his time. See “Tragedy and Hope”.
Democracy needs more laws to silence conspiracy theorists.
Meyssan – God bless him – reiterating bis stance on Anglo-Zionism.
Jews in the service of the British Empire since Cromwell.
Dear Wend, sorry, no English translation (yet).
Meyssan goes into more Detail about Anglo-Zionism in an article from last summer, and that one does have an English translation:
Who is the Enemy? – by Thierry Meyssan http://www.voltairenet.org/article184973.html
Btw, I grew up just 20 km West of the Wendland (Lüchow und Dannenberg).
But I don’t believe Wends have a different ethnicity than us Saxons. They just chose to remain pagan a bit longer, then picked a later wave of Christianization. Long time ago … ;)
thank you for both texts. Very important development indeed. Very, very important.
As for Wends, I disagree completely. I studied their history, and they are Slavs not Saxons. Read medieval chronicles about them : Helmold, Saxo Grammaticus, Fredegar, Adam of Bremen…there are more, but these ones are the most important.
Wends today call themselves “Serbja”, which means “Serbs”. They call us, the Balkan Serbs “south Serbja”, which means that those Wends are direct Serbian ancestors.

“There are three categories of people; the hopelessly unaware, Coincidence Theorists and Conspiracy Theorists. Don’t bother with the hopelessly unaware, they are too involved in watching Duck Dynasty, South Beach Towing and Jerry Springer. The Coincidence Theorists explain away every misdeed on the part of the government as bad luck, a coincidence or simply an accident. And of course, Conspiracy Theorists see the potential for criminal gain through collective action. Conspiracy theorists look for the intent of the people behind an event.” – Link to The Common Sense Show.

Putin awards patriots. The Hegemon mouthpieces report.
Daily Mail (British Mouthpiece) reports:
MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin bestowed a state award Monday on the leader of Chechnya, the North Caucasus strongman who hailed the suspected killer of an opposition politician as a “true patriot.”
Documents posted on the Kremlin website Monday listed Ramzan Kadyrov as a recipient of the Order of Honor, which is given in recognition of achievements in public life.
Kadyrov drew criticism Sunday from government opponents after praising Zaur Dadayev, a Chechen suspect in the murder of Kremlin foe Boris Nemtsov. Kadyrov said Dadayev was a “deeply religious man” who was committed to Russia but had been offended by Nemtsov’s comments after the attack on French satirical publication Charlie Hebdo, which had published cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.
RadioFreeEurope (US mouthpiece) reports:
Russian President Vladimir Putin has awarded a high state medal to Andrei Lugovoi, a lawmaker wanted by British police for alleged murder of former Russian spy Aleksandr Litvinenko in London.
A decree signed by Putin and published on an official website on March 9 (http://publication.pravo.gov.ru) said Lugovoi was awarded with the Medal “For Service to Fatherland” of the Second Degree for his contribution to the “development of Russian parliamentary system and active lawmaking activities.”
In January, Britain’s counterterrorism officer Craig Mascall said that Litvinenko’s murder by a radioactive isotope in 2006 was under investigation and that Lugovoi and another Russian national, Dmitry Kovtun, were still wanted for the murder.
Russia has refused to extradite the two suspects, while the Kremlin has always denied involvement in Litvinenko’s death.
In May 2014, Lugovoi, who is the deputy chairman of the parliamentary committee for national security, was one of the initiators of a law criminalizing hiding dual citizenship by Russian citizens.
There is open casting for sarcastic, Russian-accented male voices.

Hungarian accent kat Kan?? Bulgarian accent Vot Tak?
I don’t think I could manage the accent. Though I wouldn’t mind being able to play a convincing Bulgarian. Probably get slapped less often. Anyway, I cant even deliver a simple one-liner well in my own boring accent, I’d reduce South Front’s viewership to zero. Less than zero.
Although RFE/RL is definitely not my favorite source (which would be Saker!), this little gem is just too tantalizing to ignore: Suicide Or Homicide? In Ukraine, Old-Guard Officials Dying Mysteriously. I see a lot these are Party of Regions hacks. Is someone running a bloody purge here? Excerpt:
This year Ukraine has seen a bizarre string of deaths involving high-ranking officials, including a ex-city mayor, a former railway executive, and the former head of the state body in charge of privatization.
A total of five officials died in a single 34-day period between January 28 and February 28. In each case, the deaths have been ruled probable suicides. But the victims’ political allegiances and job histories have led many in Ukraine to suspect that the men were in fact murdered:
The current debt-ceiling holiday, to which Congress agreed a year ago, expires Sunday 15th, starting the clock on debate and sending the Treasury Department scrambling to tap into its “extraordinary measures” to keep from breaching the limit.
Budget analysts say Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew has about seven months of spare room, meaning a deal would have to be reached by October or November.
so Tusk also has Ukrainian style paranoia, that VP is trying to divide Europe before he goes to USA and meet Obama……..and told you watch out for Lithuanian president nutcase……..
“People are not stupid,” – says the chairman of the Conservative Party of Estonia Mart Helme, who called the Estonian legislature and the government puppet, subject to the will of the West and particularly the United States. Anna-news.info
At 15:20 mark, listen about 2 minutes on poland!
the nerve going cap-in-hand to russia asking them to pleaseplease lift the agri embargo so we can sells u some polish dill pickles.
I await the RF response to the lies from the so “honest and decent” Lithuanian Pres. – funny how someone can be educated in Russia but can’t wait to stab her and her people repeatedly in the back. Awful woman, who allows the SS Waffen to have their march in the streets…..Who wants any of the Baltic states anyway? Only NATO so they can have their troops on Russia’s border.

Have not seen that in news yet.
that’s the best indicator that failed coup there leaving maduro in must have seriously pissed off the neocons.
maybe they’ve got lord o so busy & confused he’s demonizing the wrong country.
shoigu has been busy these past months–here he is jan/2015 in iran.
remember, he was “visiting” venezuela, first time ever by a russia dm, the exact days of that failed coup just 3 weeks ago.
who’s his travel agent who booked that fishing trip? lol.
The murder of Nemtsov was planned and organized very professionally. The timing was done in such a way which makes it likely that the anti-Putin march was organized beforehand as its next and well timed action in a series. The place, on the bridge (a symbol over[coming] Moscow, the river, and right by the Kremlin) too had been clearly very carefully chosen. Moreover, one also needs to assume that Nemtsov was very probably led to the place of his death by his Ukrainian “girlfriend” (read: hired female escort). What the FSB was doing or apparently not doing when it failed or was told not to maintain surveillance of Nemtsov–for his protection–and not to make up anything of the fact that his Ukrainian escort was also a lover of one of the Kiev Nazi battalions, remind of the very kind of “provocations” which were planned and pulled off in order to change the communist regimes (from above) in Eastern Europe in 1989. Moreover, while the Ukrainian escort of Nemtsov, who apparently walked Nemtsov to his death, was called the main and sole [??] witness of the murder, she was very suspiciously allowed to go (escape) back to Ukraine where Avakov himself quickly declared that she was not coming back for further investigation. On top of that, she might or should have been also included among the possible suspects of the murder. But this did not seem to occur to anyone and, clearly, a decision was made very high up not to even demand that she stay in the country during the necessary investigation. I repeat–the fact that Nemtsov’s Ukrainian escort with links to Kiev Nazis was so quickly released, without the clever investigators not even allowing for a possibility that she too might have been one of the suspects (for all practical purposes, she herself could have shot him), makes one not just wonders, but absolutely stunned.
Now, with the arrest, accusation and killing of Kadyrov’s men serving in Chechnya’s pro-Russian security forces, the investigators (or Moscow itself) are also “masterfully” (absolutely unprofessionally) challenging the honor and stability in Chechnya–on top of having the murder fuel, swell, and energize the liberal Maidan of regime change. The quickly cooked rewarding of Kadyrov does not make all these strange and connected lapses any better.
The above is not a translation of the El Murid piece linked to. Irregardless, both El Murid’s piece and the comment above, strike me as poor attempts at the disinfo tactics of “poisoning the well” (I believe it’s called) and trying to create division. Two favourite tactics used by Jewish web sayanim on sites where they realise simple minded “Putin is Hitler” sloganeering doesn’t wash. No real evidence is provided to support what is written in the disinfo, instead manipulative, often emotional, phrasing is used. One can see a lot of this at MoA, for example.
My guess the Israelis are working through their 5th element to try and sow division between Putin and Kadyrov.
I agree with your assessment oft that kind of comment. Another term that can be used here is FUD – fear, uncertainty and doubt. I think it’s from marketing. Don’t make bold statements, instead sow doubt to create uncertainty.
I can’t imagine russ security sources being that dim to let the girlfriend go back to Ukr without being fully aware of all her actions and responsibilities as el-murid and that “anonymous “poster has sympathies with, claims.
She’ll know she’ll be watched, phone tracked, who she contacts, background investigations/backtracking will be carrying on, rus may not want to keep her like they are doing Savchenko because there is no direct evidence that they already know, but probably their suspicions may remain, and to keep the situation cool so she does not become a ukraine hero survivor being held captive by evil russia, to prevent providing further “proof’ of the state apparatus “illegally” imprisoning that supports the liberal movement in Rus as typified by the Nemtsov march for “democracy”.
Also if involved, the setup people probably would ensure that she is a cul de sac for the investigation, young innocence of no further use.
It also shows Kiev, look trust us , we really do know what has happened we know of connections to private battalion etc etc.
Agree, an emotive article not contacting the dots…..shows that el-murid is only viewing his own limited perspective and thinking.
Maybe,the russian foregin policy under moderate and kindly mr Lavrov give the opportunity in some litle mouse like Lithuania to roar like lion.I think its time Russia to change this soft policy to get some RESPECT.
I wonder if the Lithuanians are being prepared for a new series of ZPC/NWO provocations against Russia targeting Kaliningrad? The EU-USA meet is obviously to coordinate further “soft” war against Russia.
Lithuania has a hard problem to solve: since 01/01/2015 its currency is Euro, therefore it will sooner or later bankrupt; the only way to avoid bankrupt is to have a war in the US budget on your territory. If as a benefit you can increase the territory a little bit (a kind of dream being Kaliningrad) see it as a plus!
Another similar point: the terror inside the Kiev parliament.
The one who will won (before the end of the month?) will face the same problem, how to get money from the US? He will need to show a positive result rapidly, I think they will attack (week starting 05/04/2015?) south to Donetsk in order to recover a single check point on the Russian border to show a “victory” and to allow some “provocation” to be made without “bad will” just by accident.
Interesting choice of date for an attack. Last year’s first Kiev military column despatched to Donbass was on April 15th, the first of a Tetrad lunar eclipse and jewish holiday ‘Pesach’ which this year is on… April 4th.
Excerpt; ‘The United States on Monday delivered more than 100 pieces of military equipment to vulnerable NATO-allied Baltic states in a move designed to provide them with the ability to deter potential Russian threats.’
Excerpt; ‘The United States has begun to deploy 3,000 troops on a three-month exercise to reassure Russia’s nervous neighbors in the Baltic, military officials said Monday.’
So, when you’ve got the Army that couldn’t win its wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan on your side, you’ve got nothing to worry about, right? You’ll be a ‘winner‘ too [we wholeheartedly hate ‘Losers,’ don’t we?]
The sure winner [in all this mess – no punt intended]; the MIC.
The scarecrow woman (or “it” :-?) is a total idiot … and so is her Polack counterpart. The last nightmare thought that could enter Putin’s mind would be to mess with the fascist Lithuania or Poland…
(Hmm, on the other hand … come to think … historically, those regions were legitimate integral parts of Russia. Being condemned to listen to all that hysteric screaming directs one into belief that it would be a very good idea for Russians to radically rethink their peaceful policies – and liberate those lands of western Russia. All in good time…)
Official summary of Onderzoeksraad voor Veiligheid about the MH17 process. Nothing new here, in this video, but because few people know this video’s existance — here it it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf5Ir9M-0dw
THIS ARTICLE DEMONSTRATES THAT MINSK agreement “ was an enormous victory over the IMF and DC, because it achieved several things:
It halted the plan to yet provide further escalation of this war(which DC and the IMF desperately want).
It forced Europe to stand up for its own interests.
It drove a wedge further between Europe’s heads of State and DC.
It proved that diplomatic solutions can be found without the US and UK brokering them.
It placed the burden of keeping the peace deal on Ukraine, not Novorossia.
Yes, much was accomplished, but the most important thing it bought Novorossia, Europe, and Russia was precious time.”
For the IMF and associated TTIP LOOTERS “Ukraine has become the all-consuming headache that no amount of aspirin can dent.
Though the coup by the banksters in Kiev may have resulted in a war that has claimed as many as 50,000 lives, and may have stopped Ukraine from signing a trade treaty with Russia, it has most certainly:
Failed to take away Russia’s naval base in the Black Sea.
Failed to plant the bankers’ talons in Crimea.
Failed in its attempts to conscript the numbers of troops Kiev needs in their insane war.
Failed in its false flag shoot-down of MH17, to suck Russia into the conflict.
Failed to usher Ukraine into NATO.
Failed to conquer a tiny territory, despite being fully funded by IMF war-hawks.
Failed to maintain any credibility in the eyes of the world.
Failed to rescue thousands of its own troops which were obliterated at Debaltsevo.
Failed to keep the Ukrainian currency, the Hryvnya, from spiraling into a truly, hyperinflationary collapse.
Failed to even pay much of its heating bills!”
The WESTERN Ukrainian people have “not only unwittingly let in their worst possible foes, but made them heads of state as well. In just one short year, after letting in this parasitic class:
They’ve lost their gold reserves.
They’ve lost food reserves, and experienced shortages across the country.
They’ve lost many thousands of their sons and daughters on the battlefield.
They’ve lost their economic stability.
They’ve lost the coveted, cheap natural gas contracts they once had with Russia.
They’ve lost entire regions of the country forever, due to peoples seceding to take their lives back.
They’ve lost their freedom of expression, as authorities now go on witch hunts for those who even express support for breakaway regions.
They’ve lost the hope that their country can have governance that actually wants to make their country a better place.”
A stunning new report prepared by the Ministry of Defense (MoD) circulating in the Kremlin today states that the Obama regime has “effectively abandoned” at least 150 US troops embedded with over Ukrainian 5,000 forces in the rebel surrounded town of Debaltseve in eastern Ukraine and left by Kiev’s government to die.
According to this report, the US troops currently under rebel siege are an ad hoc group of American Special Forces belonging to the Vicenza, Italy-based 173rd Airborne Brigade, CIA Special Activities Division (SAD) troops, and elite mercenaries from the notorious US private security firm Academi (formerly known as Blackwater).
MoD knowledge of these US forces participating in the Ukrainian war, this report notes, has been longstanding since last years US Army Europe-led Rapid Trident exercise in western Ukraine that comprised over 1,300 NATO troops, and Germany’s BILD newspaper reporting that their intelligence sources estimated that over 400 Academi mercenaries were involved in this conflict too.
Even worse, this report warns, NAF rebel scouts are reporting their having spotted NATO tanks inside the encirclement (Cauldron) at Debaltseve. According to their information, the possibility is strong that up to 25% of the 5,000-8,000 trapped Ukrainian army may be NATO.
Currently in this conflict, which according to German intelligence sources has claimed over 50,000 lives, this report continues, Ukrainian President Poroshenko last week refused to negotiate with President Putin for a “green corridor” to allow US and Ukraine military forces to leave Debaltseve and continued to lie to both his own people and Western allies stating falsely that these forces weren’t encircled.
Amazing, although not entirely surprising. However, what is surprising is that NAF have not yet finished the job of liquidating these criminals. For what are they waiting?
Thank you JJ for detecting this! So, that explains it: the above “news” was almost a month stale!… What a shame… People who post here any news must always provide links to the original articles, regardless in which language, to avoid misinforming others.
I also sometimes inavertently post after other people have posted with the same link, it is because we are so enthusiastic to tell thesaker.is what is going on and don’t have time to check out other posts, or they could be in the “pending” box……….but it was me that originally posted re this article back in Feb…also not saying info is guaranteed either, as people have debunked this website “what does it mean”………I tried to chase up this MoD report, that would be the interesting thing to get hold of, the original report, but I could not, despite the assertivity of the original article.
just noticed , 22nd Feb http://sputniknews.com/europe/20150222/1018595847.html
“the cancellation of the weapons supplies Boxer armored fighting vehicles as was expected before, requested by Lithuania from Germany to update their equipment)means that the German government respects the agreement between NATO and Russia on non-deployment of large military units in Eastern Europe, according to the German newspaper “Die Welt”. However, spokesman of the CSU political party, Florian Hahn, mentioned that anxiety of the Baltic states with regard to the Ukrainian crisis is justified and that Germany should support its NATO and EU partners in the Baltic region as much as possible.”
My question is-if this NATO-Russia agreement is true, how the **** are other countries in NATO able to send stuff? Eg 120 “Saxon vehicles (but without any weapons attatched, huh but can be easily fitted? , Uk defence spokesperson says they are a bit useless well they were for Afghanistan) due to Ukraine from Uk……hence USA supplying surplus to requirements Humvees,second hand coastguard vessels for the Black sea(last year were rumours of lease lend warships)…….without weapons also? they can easily be fitted ……Germany respects-but no-one else does-hence more proof of NATO duplicity?
However we have this today: http://rt.com/politics/239233-obama-weapons-ukraine-slutskiy/
Barack Obama’s decision not to supply lethal weaponry to Kiev is good for the prospects of realization of the Minsk ceasefire agreements, according to the head of the State Duma Committee for CIS Affairs and Eurasian Integration.
“The decision of US President Barack Obama to abstain from supplying American lethal weapons to Ukraine, made upon the results of the meeting with German chancellor Angela Merkel, increases the chances that the Minsk accords will be put into effect,” MP Leonid Slutskiy of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia told reporters on Tuesday.
“A fragile hope has appeared that the ceasefire will not be broken by external factors and the process of de-escalating the conflict will continue,” he said.
Slutskiy added that the decision was, in his view, the only “spark of common sense” demonstrated by a US politician over the last year in regards to the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.
Also in December, MP Mikhail Yemelyanov of the Fair Russia party said a US Senate decision to arm the Kiev regime would prompt “adequate measures” from Russia, such as deploying military force on Ukrainian territory before the threat becomes too high.

“Therefore, Russia has decided to suspend its work in JCG meetings starting March 11, finalizing its moratorium on the implementation of the CFE Treaty introduced in 2007,” Mazur said addressing the JCG plenary session in Vienna on Tuesday.
The original CFE Treaty was signed in 1990 by 16 NATO and six Warsaw Pact members setting equal limits for each bloc on five key categories of conventional armaments and military hardware, including tanks, combat armored vehicles, artillery, assault helicopters and combat aircraft.”Russia took a decision to halt its participation in meetings of the consulting group from March 11, 2015. Thus, suspencion of actions in the CFE declared by Russia in 2007 becomes full,” the statement reads.
The Russian Foreign Ministry added that “NATO countries actually prefer to bypass the provisions of the CFE Treaty by expanding the alliance.”

According to “Interfax-Ukraine”, citing data from operators GTS Slovakia, Hungary and Poland, since the beginning of March 2015 Ukraine imported more than 330 million. Cu. meters of gas from the EU and 81.5 million. – from Russia.
“Ukraine 1-8 March 2015 imported from Europe, according to operative data, 330,029,000. Cu. Meters of natural gas from Russia – 81,549,000 cu. M. In this case, March 1-6, Ukraine reduced gas imports from Hungary to 3 4 million cu. m per day compared with 5.7 million cubic. meters per day in the 20 days of February.

Is Russia still sending hundreds of thousands of tons free coal, when Kiev owes miners back pay, they are on strike, and mines have been shelled ad closed down?
Did Kiev pay EU countries for gas?

Ukraine refrains from contacts on constitutional reform commissions and other issues, DPR parliamentary speaker Andrei Purgin announced.
“All these commissions which are supposed to job on constitutional reform, on local self-government, on humanitarian issues, and so on; all these issues which need to be solved are still up in the air. Ukraine fully refrains from any contacts with us”, the politician said.

120 tanks etc just delivered to Latvia-whose president is currently President of EU
note this is part of “Operation Resolve”-does the name subconsciously give it away, NATO will attack until the russia “problem is resolved”, in other words, wiped off the face of the continent as an effective country?
Almost impossible for rus to deal with this absurdity, irony, surely?
BTW , would an EU army enable EU to be independant of NATO, with a proper EU foreign policy that is independent of USA? But it is viewed as provocation by Rus , and politicians wish to make it subservient to NATO……..Uk and USA don’t want to be left out of it.
So EU doing its own thing, each NATO country doing its own thing, USA NATO doing its own thing but trying to make sure every NATO country does something, and those countries not fully part of NATO being drawn towards it even more surely, sure is looking messy and confused, increasing the chances something will happen by accident or design.
Maastricht treaty which created EU had a provision for an EU army, which they began to form. US threw such a hissy fit that they gave it up, put it under NATO (US) command.
It is possible that Russia’s “objections” are not sincere.
Russia should encouragev eu army which will dilute the valuevof mortal enemy ofvrussia which isvparasite England which uses Nato under American armsvto bullyvworld.
No doubt the English parasites are not happy with EU army and juncker.
That points that it is good for Russia -EU relationship if Nato is sidelined.
” March 10. /TASS/. Russian military experts will inspect an area in northern France where NATO is going to hold an exercise, Sergei Ryzhkov, the director of the Russian National Center for Reduction of Nuclear Risks told TASS.
“In line with the 2011 Vienna document on trust-building measures a Russian inspecting group will do inspection of the aforesaid area of the French territory from March 10 through to March 13,” he said.
The area in question has been chosen for a joint headquarters exercise of the new Army rapid reaction corp. It has been codenamed Citadel Kleber 2015. Army units from Belgium, Britain, Germany, Greece, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Canada, the Netherlands, Romania, the U.S., Turkey, and France have been invited to attend.
The goal of the inspection is to establish the size of military activity subject to prior notification that will be carried out within the given region.”
So the 2011 Vienna document is not defunct????/ But ignored by some co-signers eg recent exercises in Baltics-note these have not been invited?????
Or is it just France being nice to Russ so Mistral can be handed over?

Lithuania ‘already under attack’ – President Grybauskaite
6 March 2015 Last updated at 21:37 GMT
The Lithuanian president has told the BBC’s Katya Adler that her country is “already under attack” and that conscription is being reintroduced in Lithuania as a response to threats in the region.
Dalia Grybauskaite said that the country needed to be able to protect itself as it was in the “frontier”. She said her country bordered Russia and there were “threats and exercises practically every day”.
—————-
Yeah, I can sympathize with her. I’ve been under attack from the high school football team. The HS is only a few blocks away and they keep practicing and working out, so I’m sure that any day now they will attack my house. I better get some gun and be prepared to defend myself when they do — not to mention that the town police are only a half mile from my house, and I know they practice shooting things. In fact, I’m already being attacked by most everyone in town now, and there are threats everywhere! So far the COMED electric trucks have only driven by on the street in front of the house but I know they are a threat and any day now they will drive up on the lawn and crash into the house.
Really, doctor, it’s true — I’m not hallucinating. You can take off this funny white jacket with the straps on it.
and even what you write is being watched by a saker with x-ray eyes
Yes, and I hear his voice in my head (but he keeps saying good and true things, unlike the empire’s voice).
It’s strange when the pressure of the empire causes politicians to speak and act as if they were insane, or on drugs (or not getting enough of them?), whether they are crazy or not. But this reflects the US howling about how Russia was being aggressive and warlike when conducting exercises on Russian territory (in response to NATO making threats, doing military maneuvers and building up arms on Russia’s borders).
Again, this reminds me of the gang of cops beating up on a semi conscious guy on the ground while shouting ‘Stop resisting. Drop the [non-existent] gun.’ before shooting him dead.
Also of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Treachery_of_Images Magritte’s “Ceci n’est pas une pipe.”, French for “This is not a pipe.”, perhaps in reverse.
And also
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality-based_community
…
The source of the term is a quotation in an October 17, 2004, The New York Times Magazine article by writer Ron Suskind, “Faith, Certainty and the Presidency of George W. Bush,” quoting an unnamed aide to George W. Bush (later attributed to Karl Rove[1]):
The aide said that guys like me were “in what we call the reality-based community,” which he defined as people who “believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.” … “That’s not the way the world really works anymore,” he continued. “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”[2]
…
Its absolutely true..
Except we are all not part of the empire and what we do is to make sure the empire fails to achieve its goals. That’s called a community..
Empire v/s Community..
Empire always leeches off its subjects but the community only uses what is members give it hence it is not as powerful unless more of them take an interest.
@ Blue,
The other day I caught a terrible cold [without mittens] and checked out my newly ascribed doctor. Surely enough, I found out that quite a few of her patients were sick. ‘Not a good sign,’ I thought.
Huffing and puffing I worked my way into her office, sat down with a hanky in hand, across the woman and asked her [right off the bat], “Do you have anything against this cough, ma’am?”
She looked me up and down with curious red little eyes, for a while and then whispered back, very thoughtfully and with a wry smile, “No…”
she’s bought and paid for. Yuck
I literally rolled over on my couch laughing when i read this!
Looks like Lithuania intends to attack it’s Russian speaking population to start another war, as proof of Russian aggression.
Crimean News Agency – The MP and coordinator of the “Information Resistance” group, referring to the General Staff and Ministry of Defense of Ukraine says that the cost of the assets left by the Ukrainian Navy in Crimea and Sevastopol is worth UAH 1 billion 495 million.
At the same time, 11 warships, 6 supporting vessels, 2,363 vehicles, 3 aircrafts, and 6 coastal anti-ship systems were left on the occupied territory.
The other munitions remaining in the Crimea have not been estimated yet, according to the MP.
Tymchuk also notes that Ukraine negotiates with the West about the possibility of transferring Navy Coast Guard cutters, (from the US, for free), corvettes and minesweepers to Ukraine. According to him, it will be formerly used equipment.
MFA says NATO ships on exercise near Crimea are “a provocation”.
Meanwhile russ exercises are taking place in Crimean region-The military’s Southern Federal District announced March 5 that 500 pieces of heavy weaponry or military equipment were being used in the drills conducted by Russia’s air-defense units, whose job is to repel attacks by aircraft and missiles.
Russian border guards in Crimea claim they have arrested a suspect in the 2002 hostage-taking incident at Moscow’s Dubrovka Theater.
The press service for the Crimean branch of the Federal Security Service (FSB) border guards announced March 5 it has “succeeded in exposing a terrorist who took part in the taking of hostages during the musical ‘Nord-Ost’ in 2002.”
The Centre for Policy and Research on Turkey May 6 to conduct public conference entitled “Ukrainian Crisis and the Atrocities in Crimea: The Never-Ending Persecution of Crimean Tatars”.
The conference to take place in Strand Campus, King’s College London, UK. Dr. Rory Finnin, Ms. Eleanor Knott and Ms. Melek Maksudoğlu to give talks, Professor Orlando Figes, Professor of History, Birkbeck College, University of London will chair the event.
The documentary screening of “Son of Crimea: Struggle of a People”, which has recently been translated into English, to be followed by the Conference. It will include a one-hour section of the documentary.
Discredited Tatar leader Mustafa Jemilev is to make representations to EU re tatar treatment, human rights/abuses etc, Brussels March 16 at a NATO meeting…
Khayser Jemilev now is being held on three charges under the Russian Criminal Code, including murder and the illegal possession of weapons…..ANKARA (QHA) – Solidarity with Crimea party, organized by Crimean Tatar Committee on Culture and Mutual Assistance of Turkey (Dernek), took place in Ankara March 7.
….watch out for ‘defence of minorities’ concerns?OSCE is concerned about media reporting in Crimea.Ongoing tatar representation issues in Crimea.
The West will never give up on using Crimea as cause of propaganda and derision.
They obscure the fact that 25, 600 men from Russian military were legally stationed by treaty and contract in Crimea. Just because some were exchanged for polite green men does not mean the legal terms were breached. Just specially trained to act without firing one deadly shot.
Now they are boasting on BBC that a poll they have shows 61% want to remain attached to Ukraine.
I think they mean 61 people.
Ukraine has shown its love for Crimea by bombs, cutting off electricity, water, mining the bridges and roads and generally doing junta democratic actions like threatening invasions.
As for the Crimean Tartars, well, they have been offered equal protection under the law, transference to any other place in RF they might be happier and compensations for losses.
Those, of course, are dastardly deeds by Putin.
Expect more and worse coming toward Russia from the whores of Brussels and vassals of the Hegemon.
By “remain attached to Ukraine” they mean “stop cutting off our electricity and gas”.

Russia Responds To European Army Proposal: Rattles “Nuclear” Sabre
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/09/2015 – 09:02
Having specifically aimed his call for a unified European Army at “reacting credibly to show Russia that Europe is serious about defending its values,” it is no surprise that Russia has responded to Jean-Claude Juncker’s statements. As TASS reports, first deputy chairman of the United Russia faction in the State Duma, Frants Klintsevich, told the media on Sunday that “in the nuclear age extra armies do not provide any additional security. But they surely can play a provocative role,” adding it was regrettable that such ideas had already met with some support.
The US is urging the EU to spend more % of GDP for defense/army (purchasing equipment from USA),
simultaneously they claim that they (US) cannot guarantee EU´s security alone,
so there has to be one EU army…
And after the European idiots arrange for that the Americans will take it over under their (NATO) command.
Uffff.
YAWN. Another ‘Putin is part of the fifth column’ post. So that’s why the EU is sanctioning Russia? That’s why NATO is waging war against them? That’s why Soros and the State Department are trying to organize little Maidans against Putin? Because they’re trying to help him that way?
Do you people ever actually listen to your own theories?

I’d say Putin is in the 60th column — a column all by itself but in which the other columns are factors, and can join with him. He doesn’t strike me as the sort of fellow who follows columns, but stays is his own man who on top of the various movements and interests.
At the same time I wonder why Cameron is opposed to an EU Army. In my mind that would indicate that the EU Army is some kind of threat to the Anglo-Americans. I don’t Think Cameron suddenly wants Peace on Earth.

Ofcpurse Eu armybis threatvto influnce of a third rate country like england which siphons off a lot of Nato money from America for her protection and for use of American ibflunce to bully others on behalf of England.
With Nato neutered whwre will be a third rate cpintry luje England be standing?
America does not need Nato it iscneeded by one. Country only and that is England which created Nato for bullying rest of Europe especially Germany and kerping Rusdians out.
It just occurred to me, maybe Cameron, with a word from the US, is figuring that a EU army would not be NATO, and not under the thumb of the US as much as NATO.
It’s trouble I think, but it would mean the US and England would have to rope in yet another organization which might go off message.
Nemtsov’s Ukrainian girlfriend was sent back to Kiev by Russia, almost as fast as Israelis & Saudis were flown out of the USA after 11 Sep 2001 … Ganna Duritska who led Nemtsov to death … with no winter coat on him, a key clue
Nato is propagandising as usual, but Moscow’s story on the Nemtsov murder is also very suspect. Russia says Chechens were so professional in executing a hit … but stupid enough to agree to do this on the Kremlin’s doorstep, carrying trackable mobile phones and on video … like ‘dropped ID’ in the Charlie Hebdo theatre … and that Hebdo b-shite is now an excuse for the Nemtsov murder too!
Longtime Russia-based expert John Helmer, notes the fact Boris Nemtsov had no overcoat nor hat on a freezing winter night. Yes he had taken taxi to the restaurant … but SOMEONE convinced him to NOT take a taxi home & walk home 30 minutes with no winter wear in freezing Moscow (!) & across that bridge where he was killed … seems to be only 1 possible person to get him to risk illness, and be killed doing so, Nemtsov companion Ukrainian girlfriend Ganna Duritska … treated SO gently by Moscow & quickly released to go back to Kiev!
Chechens in Boston bombing, Chechens in Moscow … Chechnya President Ramzan Kadyrov is making edgy statements, seems to feel a dirty game, a propaganda trap for himself & his region, a game which could help tear Russia apart as Muslims are scapegoated
Looks increasingly as if Putin & Nato are secretly on the same team, the globalist war & chaos team … quietly colluding on the Ukraine carnage … as some have said all along
Probably Kadyrov is already out of control as s** t hits the fan.
he made only 2 posts on Instagram concerning Nemtsov´s murder,
the first one when he did not knew yet about his “combat comrade” involved and arrested.
http://www.mail.com/int/news/europe/3403474-putin-honors-chechen-leader-who-praised-nemtsov-suspect.html#.1272-stage-hero1-2
I was thinking he built a mess for Putin and will not be appraised…but somehow the situation evolved by itself. Of course the medal awarded was not for Kadyrov´s comments – that is just a remark for BOT TAK, Penelope etc.
To sum it up: it is building up,
starting with Kadyrov´s statement he would do anything for Putin (no, I do not past links, google it by yourself), followed by news that he builds a unit…
he just destroyed the already spoiled PR of Kremlin. Of course there is a chance that the few arrested men were just cheated useful idiots,
even drafted by FSU agent, who of course acted on order of Mossad (as not to expose CIA) and gives himself as fake FSB agent who wants to please Mr. Putin in behalf of Mr. Surkov.
Of course I do not believe what the Nemtsov´s opposition comrade is talking repeteadly that Putin must have known personally about the operation.
I don’t think you are right. But I certainly don’t have enough information about Nemtsov murder.
Don’t forget that this whole standoff between Russia and the West began in Syria. It was the first time since 1945. that Russia militarily stopped the West in invading yet another territory and country.
The Ukrainian crises was a Western response to that.
Probably the most dangerous spot in this conflict is Iran, because of the relentless effort by the Zionist part of Anglo-Zionist axis to push for the war there. I hope that Russia (with Chinese assistance) prevails in Ukraine, prevails in Iran and prevails in Syria.
Any compromise with the West on any of this issues will inevitably lead to the defeat of Russia and China together.
Therefore we should watch and see what happens on these 3 fronts.
For now, the situation is satisfying.
You have the cause correct. Syria was the fuse.
China has been extremely vocal in its foreign ministry from the Brussels ambassador to the FM Wang’s news conference for foreign press.
China is flexing its vocal cords, yuan muscles and soon will position the PLA Navy in larger presence near Iran-Syria-Cyrus-Greece.
China has Russia’s back and is now receptively restating their cooperative, not alliance, relationship is deep and airtight.
The Wend, Hi. What is someone who professes to believe what “The Master” says he believes doing on this site? His farrago of non sequitors could come only from a troll.
And that goes for his team-mate, the particular Anonymous who preceded him.

Btw, I grew up just 20 km West of the Wendland (Lüchow und Dannenberg).
But I don’t believe Wends have a different ethnicity than us Saxons. They just chose to remain pagan a bit longer, then picked a later wave of Christianization. Long time ago … ;)
Dear Lumi,
thank you for both texts. Very important development indeed. Very, very important.
As for Wends, I disagree completely. I studied their history, and they are Slavs not Saxons. Read medieval chronicles about them : Helmold, Saxo Grammaticus, Fredegar, Adam of Bremen…there are more, but these ones are the most important.
Wends today call themselves “Serbja”, which means “Serbs”. They call us, the Balkan Serbs “south Serbja”, which means that those Wends are direct Serbian ancestors.

If you’re not a conspiracy theorist you are a coincidence theorist.
@ Kevin,
“There are three categories of people; the hopelessly unaware, Coincidence Theorists and Conspiracy Theorists. Don’t bother with the hopelessly unaware, they are too involved in watching Duck Dynasty, South Beach Towing and Jerry Springer. The Coincidence Theorists explain away every misdeed on the part of the government as bad luck, a coincidence or simply an accident. And of course, Conspiracy Theorists see the potential for criminal gain through collective action. Conspiracy theorists look for the intent of the people behind an event.” – Link to The Common Sense Show.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin bestowed a state award Monday on the leader of Chechnya, the North Caucasus strongman who hailed the suspected killer of an opposition politician as a “true patriot.”
Documents posted on the Kremlin website Monday listed Ramzan Kadyrov as a recipient of the Order of Honor, which is given in recognition of achievements in public life.
Kadyrov drew criticism Sunday from government opponents after praising Zaur Dadayev, a Chechen suspect in the murder of Kremlin foe Boris Nemtsov. Kadyrov said Dadayev was a “deeply religious man” who was committed to Russia but had been offended by Nemtsov’s comments after the attack on French satirical publication Charlie Hebdo, which had published cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.
RadioFreeEurope (US mouthpiece) reports:
Russian President Vladimir Putin has awarded a high state medal to Andrei Lugovoi, a lawmaker wanted by British police for alleged murder of former Russian spy Aleksandr Litvinenko in London.
A decree signed by Putin and published on an official website on March 9 (http://publication.pravo.gov.ru) said Lugovoi was awarded with the Medal “For Service to Fatherland” of the Second Degree for his contribution to the “development of Russian parliamentary system and active lawmaking activities.”
In January, Britain’s counterterrorism officer Craig Mascall said that Litvinenko’s murder by a radioactive isotope in 2006 was under investigation and that Lugovoi and another Russian national, Dmitry Kovtun, were still wanted for the murder.
Russia has refused to extradite the two suspects, while the Kremlin has always denied involvement in Litvinenko’s death.
In May 2014, Lugovoi, who is the deputy chairman of the parliamentary committee for national security, was one of the initiators of a law criminalizing hiding dual citizenship by Russian citizens.

Hungarian accent kat Kan?? Bulgarian accent Vot Tak?
Sorry, no can do. I’m fully bilingual, no accent.
“Bulgarian accent Vot Tak?”
Bulgarian accent? You mean like this:
Bulgarian Ariana beer ad
I don’t think I could manage the accent. Though I wouldn’t mind being able to play a convincing Bulgarian. Probably get slapped less often. Anyway, I cant even deliver a simple one-liner well in my own boring accent, I’d reduce South Front’s viewership to zero. Less than zero.
Thanks, though.
Although RFE/RL is definitely not my favorite source (which would be Saker!), this little gem is just too tantalizing to ignore: Suicide Or Homicide? In Ukraine, Old-Guard Officials Dying Mysteriously. I see a lot these are Party of Regions hacks. Is someone running a bloody purge here? Excerpt:
This year Ukraine has seen a bizarre string of deaths involving high-ranking officials, including a ex-city mayor, a former railway executive, and the former head of the state body in charge of privatization.
A total of five officials died in a single 34-day period between January 28 and February 28. In each case, the deaths have been ruled probable suicides. But the victims’ political allegiances and job histories have led many in Ukraine to suspect that the men were in fact murdered:
Topping up the war budget.
with $600B+ already the official annual defense number, how much more?

The current debt-ceiling holiday, to which Congress agreed a year ago, expires Sunday 15th, starting the clock on debate and sending the Treasury Department scrambling to tap into its “extraordinary measures” to keep from breaching the limit.
Budget analysts say Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew has about seven months of spare room, meaning a deal would have to be reached by October or November.
so Tusk also has Ukrainian style paranoia, that VP is trying to divide Europe before he goes to USA and meet Obama……..and told you watch out for Lithuanian president nutcase……..

Dear The Saker,
I await the RF response to the lies from the so “honest and decent” Lithuanian Pres. – funny how someone can be educated in Russia but can’t wait to stab her and her people repeatedly in the back. Awful woman, who allows the SS Waffen to have their march in the streets…..Who wants any of the Baltic states anyway? Only NATO so they can have their troops on Russia’s border.

The murder of Nemtsov was planned and organized very professionally. The timing was done in such a way which makes it likely that the anti-Putin march was organized beforehand as its next and well timed action in a series. The place, on the bridge (a symbol over[coming] Moscow, the river, and right by the Kremlin) too had been clearly very carefully chosen. Moreover, one also needs to assume that Nemtsov was very probably led to the place of his death by his Ukrainian “girlfriend” (read: hired female escort). What the FSB was doing or apparently not doing when it failed or was told not to maintain surveillance of Nemtsov–for his protection–and not to make up anything of the fact that his Ukrainian escort was also a lover of one of the Kiev Nazi battalions, remind of the very kind of “provocations” which were planned and pulled off in order to change the communist regimes (from above) in Eastern Europe in 1989. Moreover, while the Ukrainian escort of Nemtsov, who apparently walked Nemtsov to his death, was called the main and sole [??] witness of the murder, she was very suspiciously allowed to go (escape) back to Ukraine where Avakov himself quickly declared that she was not coming back for further investigation. On top of that, she might or should have been also included among the possible suspects of the murder. But this did not seem to occur to anyone and, clearly, a decision was made very high up not to even demand that she stay in the country during the necessary investigation. I repeat–the fact that Nemtsov’s Ukrainian escort with links to Kiev Nazis was so quickly released, without the clever investigators not even allowing for a possibility that she too might have been one of the suspects (for all practical purposes, she herself could have shot him), makes one not just wonders, but absolutely stunned.
Now, with the arrest, accusation and killing of Kadyrov’s men serving in Chechnya’s pro-Russian security forces, the investigators (or Moscow itself) are also “masterfully” (absolutely unprofessionally) challenging the honor and stability in Chechnya–on top of having the murder fuel, swell, and energize the liberal Maidan of regime change. The quickly cooked rewarding of Kadyrov does not make all these strange and connected lapses any better.
http://el-murid.livejournal.com/2291904.html
The above is not a translation of the El Murid piece linked to. Irregardless, both El Murid’s piece and the comment above, strike me as poor attempts at the disinfo tactics of “poisoning the well” (I believe it’s called) and trying to create division. Two favourite tactics used by Jewish web sayanim on sites where they realise simple minded “Putin is Hitler” sloganeering doesn’t wash. No real evidence is provided to support what is written in the disinfo, instead manipulative, often emotional, phrasing is used. One can see a lot of this at MoA, for example.
My guess the Israelis are working through their 5th element to try and sow division between Putin and Kadyrov.
I agree with your assessment oft that kind of comment. Another term that can be used here is FUD – fear, uncertainty and doubt. I think it’s from marketing. Don’t make bold statements, instead sow doubt to create uncertainty.
I can’t imagine russ security sources being that dim to let the girlfriend go back to Ukr without being fully aware of all her actions and responsibilities as el-murid and that “anonymous “poster has sympathies with, claims.
She’ll know she’ll be watched, phone tracked, who she contacts, background investigations/backtracking will be carrying on, rus may not want to keep her like they are doing Savchenko because there is no direct evidence that they already know, but probably their suspicions may remain, and to keep the situation cool so she does not become a ukraine hero survivor being held captive by evil russia, to prevent providing further “proof’ of the state apparatus “illegally” imprisoning that supports the liberal movement in Rus as typified by the Nemtsov march for “democracy”.
Also if involved, the setup people probably would ensure that she is a cul de sac for the investigation, young innocence of no further use.
It also shows Kiev, look trust us , we really do know what has happened we know of connections to private battalion etc etc.
Agree, an emotive article not contacting the dots…..shows that el-murid is only viewing his own limited perspective and thinking.
Maybe,the russian foregin policy under moderate and kindly mr Lavrov give the opportunity in some litle mouse like Lithuania to roar like lion.I think its time Russia to change this soft policy to get some RESPECT.
I wonder if the Lithuanians are being prepared for a new series of ZPC/NWO provocations against Russia targeting Kaliningrad? The EU-USA meet is obviously to coordinate further “soft” war against Russia.
Lithuania has a hard problem to solve: since 01/01/2015 its currency is Euro, therefore it will sooner or later bankrupt; the only way to avoid bankrupt is to have a war in the US budget on your territory. If as a benefit you can increase the territory a little bit (a kind of dream being Kaliningrad) see it as a plus!
Another similar point: the terror inside the Kiev parliament.
The one who will won (before the end of the month?) will face the same problem, how to get money from the US? He will need to show a positive result rapidly, I think they will attack (week starting 05/04/2015?) south to Donetsk in order to recover a single check point on the Russian border to show a “victory” and to allow some “provocation” to be made without “bad will” just by accident.
Interesting choice of date for an attack. Last year’s first Kiev military column despatched to Donbass was on April 15th, the first of a Tetrad lunar eclipse and jewish holiday ‘Pesach’ which this year is on… April 4th.
@ BOT TAK,
US sends heavy armour to Baltic states to ‘deter‘ Russia.
Excerpt; ‘The United States on Monday delivered more than 100 pieces of military equipment to vulnerable NATO-allied Baltic states in a move designed to provide them with the ability to deter potential Russian threats.’
Russia stand-off: 3,000 US troops on exercise in Baltic
Excerpt; ‘The United States has begun to deploy 3,000 troops on a three-month exercise to reassure Russia’s nervous neighbors in the Baltic, military officials said Monday.’
So, when you’ve got the Army that couldn’t win its wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan on your side, you’ve got nothing to worry about, right? You’ll be a ‘winner‘ too [we wholeheartedly hate ‘Losers,’ don’t we?]
The sure winner [in all this mess – no punt intended]; the MIC.
!”#$%&'() !!!
– no punt intended]– no pun intended]The scarecrow woman (or “it” :-?) is a total idiot … and so is her Polack counterpart. The last nightmare thought that could enter Putin’s mind would be to mess with the fascist Lithuania or Poland…
(Hmm, on the other hand … come to think … historically, those regions were legitimate integral parts of Russia. Being condemned to listen to all that hysteric screaming directs one into belief that it would be a very good idea for Russians to radically rethink their peaceful policies – and liberate those lands of western Russia. All in good time…)

IT IS TRULY RARE THAT A WESTERN SOURCE CAN ACTUALLY IDENTIFY THAT THE UKRAINE WAR, LIKE THAT IN YUGOSLAVIA WAS CREATED BY THE IMF AND WORLD BANK
NATO & the IMF Just Suffered a Disastrous Military Defeat
http://thewealthwatchman.com/nato-the-imf-just-suffered-a-disastrous-military-defeat/
THIS ARTICLE DEMONSTRATES THAT MINSK agreement “ was an enormous victory over the IMF and DC, because it achieved several things:
It halted the plan to yet provide further escalation of this war(which DC and the IMF desperately want).
It forced Europe to stand up for its own interests.
It drove a wedge further between Europe’s heads of State and DC.
It proved that diplomatic solutions can be found without the US and UK brokering them.
It placed the burden of keeping the peace deal on Ukraine, not Novorossia.
Yes, much was accomplished, but the most important thing it bought Novorossia, Europe, and Russia was precious time.”
For the IMF and associated TTIP LOOTERS “Ukraine has become the all-consuming headache that no amount of aspirin can dent.
Though the coup by the banksters in Kiev may have resulted in a war that has claimed as many as 50,000 lives, and may have stopped Ukraine from signing a trade treaty with Russia, it has most certainly:
Failed to take away Russia’s naval base in the Black Sea.
Failed to plant the bankers’ talons in Crimea.
Failed in its attempts to conscript the numbers of troops Kiev needs in their insane war.
Failed in its false flag shoot-down of MH17, to suck Russia into the conflict.
Failed to usher Ukraine into NATO.
Failed to conquer a tiny territory, despite being fully funded by IMF war-hawks.
Failed to maintain any credibility in the eyes of the world.
Failed to rescue thousands of its own troops which were obliterated at Debaltsevo.
Failed to keep the Ukrainian currency, the Hryvnya, from spiraling into a truly, hyperinflationary collapse.
Failed to even pay much of its heating bills!”
The WESTERN Ukrainian people have “not only unwittingly let in their worst possible foes, but made them heads of state as well. In just one short year, after letting in this parasitic class:
They’ve lost their gold reserves.
They’ve lost food reserves, and experienced shortages across the country.
They’ve lost many thousands of their sons and daughters on the battlefield.
They’ve lost their economic stability.
They’ve lost the coveted, cheap natural gas contracts they once had with Russia.
They’ve lost entire regions of the country forever, due to peoples seceding to take their lives back.
They’ve lost their freedom of expression, as authorities now go on witch hunts for those who even express support for breakaway regions.
They’ve lost the hope that their country can have governance that actually wants to make their country a better place.”
A stunning new report prepared by the Ministry of Defense (MoD) circulating in the Kremlin today states that the Obama regime has “effectively abandoned” at least 150 US troops embedded with over Ukrainian 5,000 forces in the rebel surrounded town of Debaltseve in eastern Ukraine and left by Kiev’s government to die.
According to this report, the US troops currently under rebel siege are an ad hoc group of American Special Forces belonging to the Vicenza, Italy-based 173rd Airborne Brigade, CIA Special Activities Division (SAD) troops, and elite mercenaries from the notorious US private security firm Academi (formerly known as Blackwater).
MoD knowledge of these US forces participating in the Ukrainian war, this report notes, has been longstanding since last years US Army Europe-led Rapid Trident exercise in western Ukraine that comprised over 1,300 NATO troops, and Germany’s BILD newspaper reporting that their intelligence sources estimated that over 400 Academi mercenaries were involved in this conflict too.
Even worse, this report warns, NAF rebel scouts are reporting their having spotted NATO tanks inside the encirclement (Cauldron) at Debaltseve. According to their information, the possibility is strong that up to 25% of the 5,000-8,000 trapped Ukrainian army may be NATO.
Currently in this conflict, which according to German intelligence sources has claimed over 50,000 lives, this report continues, Ukrainian President Poroshenko last week refused to negotiate with President Putin for a “green corridor” to allow US and Ukraine military forces to leave Debaltseve and continued to lie to both his own people and Western allies stating falsely that these forces weren’t encircled.
Amazing, although not entirely surprising. However, what is surprising is that NAF have not yet finished the job of liquidating these criminals. For what are they waiting?

Thank you JJ for detecting this! So, that explains it: the above “news” was almost a month stale!… What a shame… People who post here any news must always provide links to the original articles, regardless in which language, to avoid misinforming others.
I also sometimes inavertently post after other people have posted with the same link, it is because we are so enthusiastic to tell thesaker.is what is going on and don’t have time to check out other posts, or they could be in the “pending” box……….but it was me that originally posted re this article back in Feb…also not saying info is guaranteed either, as people have debunked this website “what does it mean”………I tried to chase up this MoD report, that would be the interesting thing to get hold of, the original report, but I could not, despite the assertivity of the original article.
just noticed , 22nd Feb http://sputniknews.com/europe/20150222/1018595847.html
“the cancellation of the weapons supplies Boxer armored fighting vehicles as was expected before, requested by Lithuania from Germany to update their equipment)means that the German government respects the agreement between NATO and Russia on non-deployment of large military units in Eastern Europe, according to the German newspaper “Die Welt”. However, spokesman of the CSU political party, Florian Hahn, mentioned that anxiety of the Baltic states with regard to the Ukrainian crisis is justified and that Germany should support its NATO and EU partners in the Baltic region as much as possible.”
My question is-if this NATO-Russia agreement is true, how the **** are other countries in NATO able to send stuff? Eg 120 “Saxon vehicles (but without any weapons attatched, huh but can be easily fitted? , Uk defence spokesperson says they are a bit useless well they were for Afghanistan) due to Ukraine from Uk……hence USA supplying surplus to requirements Humvees,second hand coastguard vessels for the Black sea(last year were rumours of lease lend warships)…….without weapons also? they can easily be fitted ……Germany respects-but no-one else does-hence more proof of NATO duplicity?
However we have this today:
http://rt.com/politics/239233-obama-weapons-ukraine-slutskiy/
Barack Obama’s decision not to supply lethal weaponry to Kiev is good for the prospects of realization of the Minsk ceasefire agreements, according to the head of the State Duma Committee for CIS Affairs and Eurasian Integration.
“The decision of US President Barack Obama to abstain from supplying American lethal weapons to Ukraine, made upon the results of the meeting with German chancellor Angela Merkel, increases the chances that the Minsk accords will be put into effect,” MP Leonid Slutskiy of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia told reporters on Tuesday.
“A fragile hope has appeared that the ceasefire will not be broken by external factors and the process of de-escalating the conflict will continue,” he said.
Slutskiy added that the decision was, in his view, the only “spark of common sense” demonstrated by a US politician over the last year in regards to the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.
Also in December, MP Mikhail Yemelyanov of the Fair Russia party said a US Senate decision to arm the Kiev regime would prompt “adequate measures” from Russia, such as deploying military force on Ukrainian territory before the threat becomes too high.

“Therefore, Russia has decided to suspend its work in JCG meetings starting March 11, finalizing its moratorium on the implementation of the CFE Treaty introduced in 2007,” Mazur said addressing the JCG plenary session in Vienna on Tuesday.
The original CFE Treaty was signed in 1990 by 16 NATO and six Warsaw Pact members setting equal limits for each bloc on five key categories of conventional armaments and military hardware, including tanks, combat armored vehicles, artillery, assault helicopters and combat aircraft.”Russia took a decision to halt its participation in meetings of the consulting group from March 11, 2015. Thus, suspencion of actions in the CFE declared by Russia in 2007 becomes full,” the statement reads.
The Russian Foreign Ministry added that “NATO countries actually prefer to bypass the provisions of the CFE Treaty by expanding the alliance.”

According to “Interfax-Ukraine”, citing data from operators GTS Slovakia, Hungary and Poland, since the beginning of March 2015 Ukraine imported more than 330 million. Cu. meters of gas from the EU and 81.5 million. – from Russia.
“Ukraine 1-8 March 2015 imported from Europe, according to operative data, 330,029,000. Cu. Meters of natural gas from Russia – 81,549,000 cu. M. In this case, March 1-6, Ukraine reduced gas imports from Hungary to 3 4 million cu. m per day compared with 5.7 million cubic. meters per day in the 20 days of February. March 7-8, imports from Hungary fell to 0.7 million. cu. m per day, “- said in a statement.
Is Russia still sending hundreds of thousands of tons free coal, when Kiev owes miners back pay, they are on strike, and mines have been shelled ad closed down?
Did Kiev pay EU countries for gas?
