This is the note by Tatzhit Mihailovich under the YouTube video:
Remember how under the “dictator” Yanukovich, the police didn’t disperse the protesters but only repelled extremists advancing on Congress and President’s Administration? Yeah, that is no longer the case.
And how back then police didn’t open fire even when the protesters burned a police armored car with Molotovs? Here, at 5:07 one can clearly hear them say several times: “touch us, and we will shoot to kill”.
Oh yeah, and the reason those people are protesting: under Yanukovich, dollar cost 8 hryvna. Now, it costs 34! Those people have dollar loans – if before paying back say $50 a month took a quarter of their salary, now it may be more than they earn.
Meet the new boss, worse than the old boss?
UPDATE (full story at Police beating people protesting currency collapse in Kiev [ENG SUBS] ) :
This event is more interesting due to reaction to it, not the fact that police beat some protesters up. This far from the first time we see the new government being worse than “dictator” Yanukovich, starting with dispersing the original Maidan, mass arrests against Kharkov austerity rallies, clashes by the Rada, etc. This may be the first time the capital police do this to a non-violent crowd, but hardly something shocking.
What’s interesting is the reaction: the event is exploding over a lot of Ukrainian media and social networks, apparently. Some popular bloggers are claiming it may be a staged excuse to topple Poroshenko, much like the carefully planned “Christmas tree” clash ultimately toppled Yanukovich.
Whether this is truly engineered, or the explosion of discontent is simply because common people and media alike smell the “blood in the water” (panic over the hryvna collapse just made the whole government hugely unpopular) is uncertain and may even turn out to be irrelevant – all that matters is what long-term fallout we will see. And this is already going way beyond a few hurt protesters and ruined tents…

From George Soros himself:
Dear Ukros, you have served my class interests — those of the ruling imperialist bourgeoisie — marvellously. Now, you’d better show some tangible gratitude to your overlords. And rest assured that, from now on, any protesting will be dealt with instantly and without compunction.
Thanks once again. May Bandera relieve your excruciating pain at my discretion.
More blood will be spilled in Ukraine that’s for sure. This land has to be freed from its inhabitants and they either will be killed or starved to death.
Right now, I’m more interested to find out if Russia is planning to defend Syria and if so how can it be done. Did Assad get those S-300 systems? Obviously, just like in case with Ukraine, the attack on Syria is attack on Russia. Hence my question.
There is no other way then more blood until the fascist regime is outsted and punished!
It is time for Donbass militias to transform into undercover commandos of partisans and sabotauge groops and let the citizens enroll and join them.
Indeed the arrogant marshes of Banderas, Svoboda and Pravyi sector should have been attacked by sniper fire or grenades from the beginning. No mercy. Kharkov partisans should go on in their battle and move West.
The prostitute police corps also do not fear anything than violence and punishment, that is the recipe:
assymetric force to be used and a few victims as an example!
Russia could help with a drone attack on the Kiev Rada to make them burn in one place. And finally it is time for Crimea people to pay back the debt to Novorussia by helping actively against the Kiev bloody regime!!!

The Donetsk People’s Republic offers to Ukrainian side an opportunity to start the withdrawal of heavy armaments envisaged by the “Package of measures concerning implementation of the Minsk Agreement” before 6 PM Kiev time and 7 PM of DPR time on 27.02.2015. In case of violation by the Ukrainian side of the Declaration of 12.02.2015 and the “Package of measures concerning implementation of the Minsk Agreement” the Donetsk People’s Republic is forced to reserve the right to return the heavy armaments to the places of previous dislocation as of 12.02.2015”, the document says. “ The Donetsk People’s Republic lays all the responsibility for the wrecking of the plan of peaceful settlement of the conflict envisaged the Declaration of 12.02.2015 and the “Package of measures concerning implementation of the Minsk Agreement” on the Ukrainian side”,
Where is the nuland cookies?.
…she brought the cookies and american “way of life” to desperate, incapable of anything and naive Ukrainians,
the American warmongers started a mess which they now want Russia to end and blame Putin for all the sorrow in Ukraine.
Yes, the Ukrainians got what they deserved for not objecting the nazis when having stolen the anti-corruption maidan protests and installed militaristic fascist regime,
they did not mind when their criminals from Duma together with oligarchs and their battalions started the genocide on Russian people in the south-east,
they only woke up after the price for sugar and petrol rocketed. Eat that!
What now? What are the Ukrainians only capable of is to beg and blackmail for subsidies, cheaper gas, credits from EU etc.
It is the high time to get rid of the junta in Kiev, let their government of crooks hang on the maidan trees together with US embassy employees and agents.
To be fair, I believe many of them have been under the spell of lies woven for them by the CIA, Poroshenko, et al, and the mainstream news media – with no idea whatsoever of the crimes being committed in Donbass. It takes time for the truth to spread under such circumstances.
Those silly Ukrainians. Don’t they know the proper rules of etiquette when protesting now? Where are their signs blaming the “subhuman moskals” (in English, of course)? Where are their burning effigies of Putin and Lenin? Where are the crowds of closet gay footie hooligans? The revered portraits of Bandera? And perhaps most of all, where are the signs, in English, praising the USA, demanding “NATO help us”, calling for EU membership and invoking the sacred holodomor and heavenly 100 memories?
It seems the Ukrainians have forgotten already their protesting lessons taught to them just a short year and half ago.
I almost forgot:
And where are the topless FEMEN grrrrrrls with their nazi tattoos and body painted slogans (in English) calling for the eradication of Muslims and their religion?
Clearly there must be a way, as with everything else going bad in Nazi-land, to pin this on Russia?
Never fear,they will find a way.Already they are saying protesters are always “Putin agents”.And that the currency problems are caused by Russians counterfeiting the currency.
Just to remind everyone:
Police is repressive apparatus which ensures that taxes are being paid.
To protect and serve is pledge to the bankers.
Everything else are bedtime stories for infants under 6 months of age.
May be slightly off topic, but I wonder if anyone from the NAF ever reads these blogs? If so I would like to make one suggestion to them. One of the key demands of the OSCE mission in Ukraine is that in order for them to “verify” that heavy weapons have indeed been pulled back they need to know the exact locations of where these heavy weapons have been pulled back to and are being kept.
If I was the NAF I wouldnt personally be so forthcoming with this information. Not casting aspersions or anything but what are the chances of this information somehow ending up with the Kiev junta who can then with a few well placed surprise salvos target the Novorussian heavy artillery and weapons were they are being kept. Just saying.
know the truth
If I was the NAF I wouldnt personally be so forthcoming with this information.
Don’t worry, they’re not:
Donetsk to Hold Back on Withdrawal Sites – DPR Leader
The leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic Alexander Zakharchenko will provide information about the exact location of the heavy weaponry being withdrawn from the line of contact in eastern Ukraine only after the Kiev forces have done the same.
Alexander Zakharchenko said Thursday the Ukrainian military command told him it was not going to inform him about where exactly it will station its big guns being pulled out from the line of fire.
“The Ukrainian military said in a statement today it was not going to tell us where its units are going to be stationed. Then why should we do this?” Zakharchenko was quoted as saying by the Donetsk news agency.</cite
Novorussians are well aware of what sort of scum fills the ranks of the OSCE.

By: Eric Zuesse
The post-coup leaders of Ukraine have routinely said that Ukraine should destroy Russia; and, now, starting on February 24th, they are placing into position the key prerequisite for doing so, which is the advanced Anti-Ballistic-Missile, or ABM, system, S-300, which is described as follows by wikipedia: In that sense, ABMs are the most aggressive weapons of all. They are specifically designed to prevent retaliation from a nation that has been attacked and that is responding by sending in its own bombers to retaliate.etc
fortruss
Latest report 25 th FEB from OSCE SMM Ukraine:”The Russian Federation Colonel-General said that the first phase of weapons withdrawal by “DPR” began on 24 February and should be completed by 27 February. Both the Russian Colonel-General and the Ukrainian Major-General, head of the Ukrainian side to the JCCC, said that no JCCC joint patrols were foreseen so as to avoid disclosing military positions to the opposite side. Neither was willing to disclose the location of designated concentration sites for weapons following withdrawal.”
But last night on news RT? DNR had said they had given lists of all their stuff and where they had ended up.
From voice of sevastopol:
“Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the conditions put forward by Kiev on withdrawal of arms, are impracticable.
Die Zeit: Battalion “Azov” enlists German Ukrainians via social networks.
Kharkov city council refused to recognize Russia as the aggressor.”
Interesting-plus note politicians still say Debaltsevo was AFU’s finest hour-video
DPR said that Ukrainian security forces fired on a column of humanitarian aid for the residents of Debaltsevo, RIA Novosti reported.
AFU still firing, shelling in sporadic places.AFU continue to violate Minsk Agreement and periodically conduct 2-3 volleys at Gorlovka with artillery. AFU positions at Mayorsk did not change, withdrawal of Ukrainian equipment is not observed, moreover, AFU artillery is in full combat readiness. ”
lots stuff anna-news info
eg “Immediately return home police. This decision was taken by the majority of councilors of the American city of Reno. A month ago, the US Justice Department sent to Ukraine five police officers from the State of Nevada. Among the objectives – training of local police and assistance in carrying out departmental reform. However, for the first time on this trip, city officials have learned from the chief of police only recently”.
Also video why Germany is obliged to assist USA in destabilising the world.
Don’t trust Kuchma at all-google transate:
Chief negotiator in Minsk from Ukraine Leonid Kuchma spoke about the peace process. 1. “Putin behaves as if no agreements in Minsk and was not.” 2. “The Ukrainians are mentally stable people that can be considered as the main asset of the nation.” In Ukraine, “there is no national delusion.”
3. “We are guided in life stories, not myths and facts, reality, common sense.” “Ukrainians – sane, normal. In other words – modern Europeans. In these times – this is important (Ukrainian) domain.”
4. “In fact, Russia Ukraine filed an ultimatum. This ultimatum not only us, but throughout the Western world.”
I’ll repeat here, Tymosnenko and Kuchma are directly linked to the assassination of journalist Gennady, and that the assassin is now a RADA Deputy.

Yats in denial again
The US used weapons inspectors to find out all of Saddam’s strong points so they could bomb it before invading them. The same mo.. Use doctors to find out where OBL’s corpse was being stored so they could retrieve it a decade later so as to leave no evidence. Always use subversive tactics and then disarm them first. Developed by the imperial British army when they disarmed the Tibetan delegation for border control before killing them all and setting up their own boarder as they saw fit. Why China now has trouble agreeing to the borders set by the British.
This is so sad. This seems like a whole different layer of Kiev inhabitants coming to terms with the new reality, and the police also trying to adapt. It doesn’t seem staged, from this video. It seems like people who still have the illusion of individual sovereignty, and police who are still reluctant to challenge that notion or to crush these civilians that they easily could, physically and logistically. This is the outrage of the decent citizen who is waking up, and the hesitation of the cop who is under orders but not yet clear where the red line is.
And yet here we are, we observers from mostly outside, much more deeply immersed in the true horrors of this situation than most of these protestors are. How strange it is even to see them – they were ignorant enough to think they could protest openly?
It seems like a throwback to an earlier time of innocence. It would be a miracle if this innocence would prevail in Ukraine. I wasn’t expecting miracles today, and I don’t think we’ll see any miracle. If only the destiny of Ukraine were being decided by these kinds of scuffles between citizen and police – instead of the living-hell struggle currently being engaged between slave and slave master.

Just a copy and past from the good people Guardian a sticking up for and they blocked me?
Russian invaders?
well maybe they are not brain-dead as I imagined after all..
If you really want help Ukraine, instead of blaming Russia for all your problems, look inside.. Kick out those who are only looking out for the empire of chaos. Look at not creating trouble for those who have helped you survive for decades. Yes Russia was the one who kept Ukraine from imploding. Ukrainians impertinence and delusions of grandeur with nothing to back it up has now turned reality inside out and started blaming others for what you yourself have brought down on yourself.
If on the other hand you are saying that Russian interference is the cause of the problems, then you will also have to own up to maiden being the Russian way to destroy Ukraine. After all, Russia control Ukraine.. With Ukraine unable to even breathe without Russian permission.. How can you then say Russia did not control the last year just so as to implode Ukraine and leave it destitute. In either case, the only one who can save you is yourself. The US and EU will be more than willing to loot you dry.. That is not going to save you. Taunting Russia is not going to help you either. If Russia has already invaded, then well, why are you waiting? Why is Russia waiting? This must be the longest invasion in history for 100 km of land for a country with 5000 km of land mostly unused. Not like Ukraine is lacking land either.. Ignore it and fix your problems. A strong country is harder to control, no matter if its the US or Russia or the EU.
something else I wanted to ask you about.. If Russia is invading Ukraine, Why have Ukraine cut off gas supplies to around 5 million people who live in the area. Is that unlike killing your own people to starve the invaders of helpers? What is the excuse for this punishment. I see Russia sent another 1 trucks of aid to the region. Only thing I seen Ukraine do is shell the people there.
You cant have it both ways. You would think the invaders would have far less friendly intentions on the people they were invading when we can clearly see that it is Kiev who wants to kill and freeze them. Of course I could be brain dead like so many in the west and just accept it for a fact that destroying the village will actually save it.
There seem to be a lot of paid anti Russia commenter’s posting in the Guardian. Most of their comments are allowed to stand while trying to post a few facts get moderated out. The anti Russia group call other commenters putinbots or Russian trolls and that is allowed to stand as well.
Guardian seems to be bought and paid for when it comes to Russia/Ukraine.
The information warefare that is being conducted by the US is generally run with a small degree of deniability, but with that site it is totally out in the open where everyone that sees the site knows exactly what is happening.
totally agree graunoid stinks .
The Daily Mail also allows people simply to call others putler supporters or kremlin whatever – without any proof whatsoever, but that’s because the Daily Mail is part of the problem: they deliberately spread lies and suppress the truth. I wonder how much they get paid.
Blocking is common place.they can’t stand to see the truth.Only a day or two blockd.
First post here:
I just want to say thank you to the Saker and ‘Hi’ to everyone here. Some I know (greetings Bot-Tak) but most I don’t, yet.

Hey Oz
So where is the ‘I am a Ukrainian’ chick and the slick video?
It looks depressingly like holodomor 2.0 is coming to Kiev and the Ukrainians have only themselves to blame this time.
Eight Spanish citizens arrested for fighting in Ukraine for the pro-Russian side. Accused of involvement in crimes of murder, possession of weapons and explosives.
In Spanish:
“Detenidos ocho españoles por luchar en el bando prorruso en Ucrania.
Se les imputa la participación en delitos de asesinato, tenencia de armas y explosivos”

This is from the Spanish newspaper “El Pais” of right/fascistic orientation. According to it Spanish volunteers figthing with the rebels will be jailed accused of anything including murder! I read their comments section and some readers were very outraged (as we) since they relized that were these volunteers fighting for the Ukies or to bring down Castro or Chavez, etc they would be treated like heroes by the corrupt establishment.
One thing is clear: this is nothing at all. Expulsions of Indignés @la Défense (France) was worse:

If there are so little people in the street vs economic troubles things are obviously not that bad in Kiev. Well, for now that is. If gas is cut it may change incredibly fast.
The Stage Is Set For The Syrian Invasion –
One week ago, when reporting on the latest bizarre plan presented by the Pentagon, namely providing Syrian rebels (but only the moderate ones, not the jihadists like al Nusra, or, well, ISIS) with B-1B Bomber air support in their attacks on ISIS, when we wrote that this “means in the coming weeks and months look forward to a surge in false flag “attacks” blamed on the Assad regime, aiming to give Obama validation to expand the “War against ISIS” to include Syria’s regime as well.”
We didn’t have long to wait: in an entirely unsourced Time article written today by Aryn Baker, the Middle East Bureau Chief, the stage for the second attempt at invading Assad regime is finally set

Coal miners of the town Novovolynsk threatened Kiev authorities for a strike because of 3-months delay in wage.

An adviser to the SBU Head, Markiyan Lubkivsky, urged Ukrainian civilians to stop any cooperation with Russia’s journalists under threat of criminal prosecution. The crackdown against Russian media in Ukraine has triggered concerns from Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) members.

Today in the Kiev near building of city administration was 3rd protest against economical politic of city authorities. Protesters blocked traffic and demanded the resignation of Klitschko. Vitaliy Klitschko told to the journalists that these protesters are terrorists.
Quote of Kiev junta media:
“The patriarch, His Beatitude Sviatoslav Shevchuk expressed regret that the Pope Francis called the war in Ukraine “fratricidal” [civil war] and said that the words of His Holiness “recalled the Soviet propaganda”.
“During a press conference held in Rome on February 23, His Beatitude Sviatoslav Shevchuk said that words of Francis Pope that war in Ukraine is fratricidal, which Pope told during the general audience at February 4, were especially painful for the Ukrainian people, and recalled Soviet propaganda ”
Stressing that in the Ukraine isn’t an internal civil conflict, but exist external aggression by Russia, the patriarch also expressed regret over the fact that during Francis’s address to the bishops of the Ukraine at February 20 His Holiness didn’t mentioned Russia, but only talked about “severe conflict situation.”
Daily Mail:
Russia has gained a military foothold in Europe after Vladimir Putin signed a controversial deal with Cyprus to dock warships there.
British MPs said Nicosia’s decision to let the Russian navy, including heavily armed frigates, use its ports for counter-terrorism and anti-piracy was ‘worrying and disappointing’.
Cyprus, an EU member, thrashed out the agreement despite already hosting two British military bases and 3,200 troops. President Putin insisted the deal ‘should not cause worries anywhere’.
But Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades, who was visiting Moscow, hinted Russian warplanes could also be allowed to use a military airbase in Paphos, on the south-west coast of the island.
So no rescuing of Syrian refugees, fighting ISIS then Uk says, so you must be complicit in international disasters.
“27th February 2015, city Dnepropetrovsk. occupied Dnepropetrovsk republic.

This video was recorded yesterday in the cemetery “Krasnopolskoye” of city Dnepropetrovsk. Author of video changed his voice in order don’t allow SBU (Security Service of Kiev junta) to recognize him.

“Poland is preparing for the integration of its former land – three Galician regions. The bottom line is that the trend is already visible. The plan to shatter Russia has failed, and the USA may decide to continue applying some of Maidan-related technologies, as well as Ukrainian nationalists in other countries of Eastern Europe.
“All these battalions, including Aidar and Azov, may go to Europe after Ukraine. Those people know what bloodshed is, they have learned to kill, loot and rape. They will not stop in Lviv, so they will go further to Europe via Poland or through Hungary, Slovakia,America will continue changing the Ukrainian administration when it needs to.”There is a real chance to spread the war from Ukraine further to Europe, and chances for that are real. Slovakia, Hungary or Poland can be affected easily. ” etc
Merkel aware of this , hence Minsk.
“We have concluded the contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars and on exports and imports [of weapons],” Oleg Gladkovsky told a briefing, adding that Kiev has signed a deal on supplies of drones and electronic warfare with France’s Thales Group.

Asked if the Ukrainian troops will have new lethal weapons at their disposal, Gladovsky replied: “We are in contact with the whole world. We do get lethal weapons.”

Sorry if this is a completely ignorant question, but how are the Novorussians handling the hyperinflation? Do they still use the hryvna as their means of exchange, or are they using rubles (or barter, or just credit, or something else) these days?
“It was decided that in our republic begins to work a multi currency system… We will use the ruble, the hryvnia, the dollar and other currencies, which will be convenient for us “- Lugansk Prime Minister Igor Plotnistky was quoted by the Lugansk Information Centre.
So, they will use whatever people have and are willing to accept. The likeliest are rubles and dollars, rubles already being in widespread use. many people have them anyway because of regular trips to Russia, including for shopping.
Plans for their own currency are not proceeding right now, because they are playing along with the game that they will remain part of Ukraine. And it takes a fair amount of organisation to change the currency in a country. But by legalising other currencies they can start taxing in those too, ie they can get a bit more control over black markets.
Thanks, Kat Kan! That’s pretty much what I expected. It’s a wise move to accept multiple currencies with the hryvna circling the drain. Life is hard enough in a war zone without also having to deal with worthless paper as the sole mode of exchange.
They are stupid to allow acceptance of the $, at best people should be given 3 months or so to get rid of them, after which they should not be accepted.
In a recent interview with Canada’s CBC Radio, Ukraine’s Deputy Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko said, “Everybody is afraid of fighting with a nuclear state. We are not anymore, in Ukraine — we’ve lost so many people of ours, we’ve lost so much of our territory.”
Prystaiko added, “However dangerous it sounds, we have to stop [Russian President Vladimir Putin] somehow. For the sake of the Russian nation as well, not just for the Ukrainians and Europe.” The deputy foreign minister announced that Kiev is preparing for “full-scale war” against Russia and wants the West to supply lethal weapons and training so the fight can be taken to Russia.
BUT who is in denial???

Rail Baltica is the largest public rail infrastructure project in a hundred years, as well as being a major cross-border project with high added value. The railway is proposed to link Berlin and Tallinn, passing through Warsaw, Kaunas, Vilnius and Riga en route. This is hoped to greatly decrease travel times within the Baltics; it is not currently possible to travel directly between any of the Baltic capitals by rail.
Quicker to move NATO arms around?Merkel escape route?
Marius Laurinavičius, an analyst at the Vilnius Center for Research on Eastern Europe, points out that Moscow could very well employ a “hybrid” war strategy against Estonia and Latvia but use a “conventional” against Lithuania in order to secure a corridor to Kaliningrad.Increasingly frequent snap military drills being carried out by Russia near its eastern European neighbors could be part of a strategy that will open the door for a Russian offensive on the Baltic States, according to defence expert Martin Hurt, deputy director at Estonia’s International Center for Defence and Security.
The Lithuanian and Estonian defense ministries have expressed alarm at the increased military activity, and drawn comparisons to moves prior to the Russian invasion of Crimea.
Commenting on Russia’s announcement last week that its armed forces will not cease holding snap military exercises, Hurt, who has previously worked for Estonia’s Ministry of Defense as well as for the armed forces of both Estonia and Sweden, warned against taking this news lightly.
“My take would be that the Russian authorities want to raise the readiness of their forces and also make European nations more relaxed to a new norm where the Russian Armed Forces often conduct snap exercises,” Hurt says.
According to him, a relaxed European attitude about increased Russian military activity would be “extremely dangerous” for the democratic governments of Europe and particularly for Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Baltic Times.

Don’t copy the whole page. Just copy the main text, assemble the pieces in your translator before posting here. Omit the hyperlinks littered between paragraphs; these are usually links to other stories, worthless to us here. If you highlight the whole page, it will often also pick up links under images at the sides.

Estonian Prime Minister Taavi Roivas said on 13 Feb that Estonia is ready to host additional NATO troops Public Broadcasting reports. He made the comments during a meeting with NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe General Philip Breedlove.
Roivas and General Breedlove met in Mons, NATO’s European forces supreme headquarters SHAPE, to discuss the security of the Nordic-Baltic region, strengthening NATO deterrence and the implementation of decisions made at the Newport summit in Wales in September of last year.
“I want to thank General Breedlove for the quick and decisive work to increase the security in our region,” said Roivas at the meeting.
“Russian aggression in Ukraine has fundamentally changed the security situation in the whole of Europe, and NATO has responded with higher readiness,” said the Prime Minister, who feels that the NATO presence in Estonia and the neighbouring countries should be increased.”
But previously on Jan 7th Latvia , which took over the rotating EU Presidency on 1 January, will try to overcome stereotypes and convince Moscow that its intentions are in no way anti-Russian .
February 27. /TASS/. The government of Moldova’s breakaway region Transdniestria announced on Friday it has ordered the Foreign Ministry to send requests for Russia and Ukraine to provide it with financial aid amid the current economic crisis.
The government of Transdniestria, an unrecognized region with the Russian-speaking majority that borders Ukraine, said in the statement it requests additional targeted aid to the vulnerable social groups of both Russian and Ukrainian origin.
None from Ukraine one wonders=an invitation to Russia that she will accept? Could be a clever move……..Moscow, 25 February: Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev thinks that the aim of the Western sanctions is to put pressure on the development of Russia’s mineral resource base, while Russia’s dependence on oil and gas prices may pose a threat to its national security.
Feb 26 (Interfax) – The self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) has accused Kyiv of increasing the economic blockade on the region in defiance of the latest peace accords.
“In defiance of the Minsk agreements, Ukraine is intensifying the economic blockade on the DPR. Humanitarian aid is the only opportunity for people to get food today,” DPR envoy Denis Pushilin told reporters.
He also accused Kyiv of obstructing the supply of medicine to Donbas.
BALTIC = Brown And Little Tiny Insect Country
Listening to Lavrov’s talk to students yesterday, it was a little concerning to hear him say that in his opinion the catalyst of control of the Ukraine is not an ideological conflict. Excuse me? Hopefully this statement was just put out there for general consumption and not his government’s actual thinking.
The Ukraine appears to be under the control of joint Ukraine/Israeli citizen oligarchs (and everything that image creates). Sorry, but Zionism is a ruthless ‘us against them’ anything goes, never say die, winner take all, fascist ideology. The (Anglo?)Zionists claim for the Ukraine is the very definition of ideology…”We’ve been there for 1000s of years, it’s our homeland” ….Haven’t we heard this before…..Actually, black soil not sand, and resources less influenced by a changing climate, might be the good reason to be there to perpetuate ’our’ people.
Surely when examined and broken down into reality, people calling themselves Zionists are actually fascists, or indeed the Fascists Fascist. Banerda’ists (here called Nazi’s) are in reality just nationalist fascists, Nazi being a useful term for them back in the day but a disguise (or a confusion) for today.
So here is the claim for Europe again. Doesn’t anyone remember the first half of the 20th century in Europe or the second half of that century until today in the Middle East….Essentially pure absolute rule for the ownership and control of everything.
In their quest to own everything, these people, otherwise known as fascists in today’s terminology, destroyed Europe, they’ve destroyed the Middle East and they’ve just about destroyed eastern Ukraine. Anyone who resists: Syria, Iraq, Libya, you name it, off with their heads, and they won’t just turn east. They own finance, they effectively own the USA….The-Real-President’s (not the Mouth’s) talk to congress in a few days should be interesting, standing ovations for their hero no doubt.
It’s a slight concern that if one doesn’t see reality one might be overrun by it….
….Just wishing that Sergey didn’t smoke that’s all….
All the above is just one simple person’s opinion or observation,…he could be wrong.

While the military conflict is obviously the main focus of attention, the undercurrent is definitely what is happening economically, and away from the Donbass. I would not place bets as to which is more important, nor which will stop the fighting in Eastern Ukraine: military defeat(s) at the hands of the separatists, or rioting/fighting in Kiev etc over the unaffordability of everyday items.
