Here is an unconfirmed conversation that took place a few minutes ago.President Buttercup: You lezzie bitch, you told me everything was going according to plan in Ukraine.Nuland: We have some bad news and some good news.Buttercup: What’s the bad news?Nuland: That $5-billion you

I get remarkable little hate mail these days. When I began this blog, I got quite a few emails accusing me of being an anti-Semite, but that tide gradually petered out. It was replaced by letters from various Jew-hating types who had hoped that I also hated Jews, only to realize that I did not. That got them angry at me too. And then, I had the Right-wingers who hoped
CrossTalking with the best of the best: Mark Sleboda, Nebojsa Malic and Alexander Mercouris! How good can it get?
A mass rally took place today in the city of Odessa. The demonstrators surrounded the local parliament building and demanded the the elected officials adopt a referendum on the future of the city of Odessa. The elected officials suggested a 1-2 days of cooling off. The demonstrators rejected that offer and stormed the building which they now control. Close to 700’000 refuges from the Ukraine have sought refuge in Russia.
The past few days have seen an amazing acceleration of developments which has created a totally new situation. In simple and plain language the following three momentous events have happened:1) In Kiev an armed insurrection overthrew the elected President and replaced him with a new revolutionary regime.2) Crimea completely broke-off from the rest of the Ukraine.3) An counter-revolutionary insurrection has begun in the eastern Ukraine.The situation in the eastern Ukraine
Dear friends,You guys are amazing, that is all I can say…. It is 0915 and already 53 replies telling me to go ahead. Okay, I yield. I will set up a contributions/donations system. All I can say is that I am immensely touched and immensely grateful.One small comment and then we will go back to the more important issues: some have suggested that I put ads on the blog. Guys,
Dear friends,First, I want to repeat what I said earlier today – I am amazed, awed and deeply moved by your very kind expressions of support for me and my blog. To say that I am grateful does not even begin to cover it. I thank you all for your kindness and support – I felt like I was surrounded by a crowd of friends and that is a wonderful
Over the past couple of hours it was it was interesting to observe the reactions to the Russian decision to be read to use military force in the Ukraine. Let’s take them one by oneObama and Kerry: frankly, I did not expect much, by I still was baffled by how out of touch the White House is with the real world. To deter Putin from using armed force, the White
Dear friends,I just wanted to let you know that I have been reading your replies to my personal announcement with amazement and a deepest sense of gratitude. I shall post a substantive reply to what you have written as soon as I find a minute to do so, but right now the situation in the Ukraine is far more important, so that is why I will focus on in priority.
Something absolutely huge has just happened in Russia: the Russian Council of the Federation, the equivalent of the US Senate, has just UNANIMOUSLY passed a resolution allowing Putin to use Russian armed forces in the Ukraine, something the Duma had requested earlier. Before the vote took place, Russian senators said that Obama had threatened Russia, insulted the Russian people and that they demanded that Putin recall the Russian ambassador to
Dear friends, I have decided to take a short break for the torrent of news about the Ukraine to share with you an important development in the life of this blog: two days ago, last Thursday, the number of daily visitors to this blog has passed 10’000 to peak at an amazing 11’538 visitors! Now, some of them are webcrawlers, search engines, double visitors and my own, but the 10’000
RT reports that Russian Senators are going to ask President Vladimir Putin to consider recalling Moscow’s Ambassador to the USA following President Barack Obama’s “aggressive” comments on the situation in Ukraine, the chamber speaker said.
This just sent to me by “T” (thanks!):The nationalists who had seized the local administration building have been evicted by a pro-Russian crowd after a nasty fight, they are now surrounded by cops who protect them form the angry crowd which is screaming “this is Kharkov, not Kiev!” and “Fascists!”:

First, a shot bullet style news update from the Ukraine: New government in Kiev declared that Russia had deployed 6’000 soldiers to the Ukraine. A car with 400kg of TNT-equivalent explosives was intercepted a a checkpoint yesterday in Crimea. There is no word on the diver or possible passengers. Crimean authorities had decided to hold the referendum on the status of Crimea on March 30th, and not May 25th as
The agreement on the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis, which was signed on the 21 February and certified by the German, Polish and French Foreign Ministers, is still not being fulfilled. Militants have still not laid down arms, they have not freed administrative buildings, or announced their intention to “make order” in all the Ukrainian regions. There are threats of physical reprisals, as the President Viktor Yanukovych emphasised in his
This night sure was interesting. It appears that a group of unidentified armed men took control of the Belbek and Simferopol airports and, according to some reports, of an air-traffic control facility, then left. They kept a low profile, were extremely polite and said that they had come to prevent a “Ukrainian paratrooper force” from landing, but that this had been a false alarm. They then apologized and left. The
This is how our friend Olexander Muzychko (aka criminal leader Sasha Biliy) spoke to a state prosecutor today: (no translation needed, obviously): And this is an example of “Sunday sermon” by a “Greek Catholic” “priest” sent to me by a friend (thanks “FMD”): This sermon was supposedly delivered Rev. Mikhaylo Arsenych delivered in 2010. This is the translation provided with the video: Today we are really ready for a revolution.Would
Русские долго запрягают, но быстро едут (“Russians take a lot of time to saddle up, but then they ride fast”) Russian adage Over the past few days the events in the Ukraine have seen a fantastic acceleration and many important events have simultaneously taken place. I will try to look at them one by one. In Kiev, the leaders of the insurgency have taken full control of the Parliament and
