The people even look totally different from central and eastern Ukies.

I find the liveleak video by the originator Alethia Sen Agape not in the best of taste by them considering the Maidan carnage that took place there, but thanks for sitrep.

The video from truth ukraine facebook of a young girl being openly kidnapped by so called Kharkiv police much more despicably representative……..and if more happens like this in say Odessa it might change the situation there……….

===============================

“American journalist Steven Landman, who lives in Chicago, wrote the book “The conflict in Ukraine: How the US drive for hegemony increase the threat of World War III.” The author characterizes the situation in Ukraine as follows:
1. Ukrainian authorities continue to conduct a relentless war against the people of Donbass.
2. Ukraine – launched during the coup a gangster state where being a disguise for a legitimate government. In fact it is a police state, infected Nazism.
3. The Ukrainian state – the main violator of civil rights, it kleptokratichno because it is controlled by mega-thief or thieves from related corporations.

4. The Ukrainian armed forces are attacking civilians, including women and children. Commit atrocities hard to ignore.
5. In the Donbas has been repeatedly used chemical weapons – phosphorous and cluster bombs, which were delivered without the involvement of the United States.

6. Kiev calmly and quite openly violates the Minsk Agreement – an immediate ceasefire, the withdrawal of heavy weapons from the zone of 50 km from the line of contact. Kiev evades the resumption of political dialogue and socio-economic relations.
7. “Poroshenko – illegitimate rogue oligarch who heads the regime of lawlessness. Obviously, he thinks that he will receive the Nobel Prize in lieu of a prison cell, where he belongs,” – concludes Landman.”

Unconfirmed. Just saw “Blatter stepping down from FIFA.”

Raskolnikova, thanks for the sitrep. Great job.

This article has a couple of videos of Russian Su-24s buzzing the USS Ross that happened last week.

Empire (and Obama in particular) is now again on the height of panic after humiliating disaster in Ramadi. It was public collapse of the whole US military doctrine constisting of proxy war, US superhuman instructors teaching local primitives to fight successfuly for US interest, drones, omnipotent US air strikes, local powers attracted by victorious US camp and dirty tricks ala Novorossian “ceasefire”. And they have nothing as replacement for this doctrine. Dollar is already long time underpinned only by supposed invicibility of US military. And vice versa, extravagant US military can’t exist without supremacy of petrodollar. So now are both pillars of imperial power caught in vicious cycle of mutual destruction. Only quick and really important victory could change it for some time. Naturally, void heads of US leaders can’t produce such victory so they produce strange moves (ala Sakashvilli to Odessa) or provocations in SouthChina sea to do at least something and distract attention from strategic issues.

The entire article is worth a read.

Of course Moscow Times tiresomely counterposes the actual maker of the BUK missile and their technical experts with Eliot Higgins and Bellingcat, as if there coudl be any equality of expertise here. Just ignore that.

MH17 Was Not Shot Down by Russian Missile – Russian Defense Firm

The Russian maker of an anti-aircraft missile widely thought to be behind the destruction of a civilian airliner over east Ukraine last summer presented evidence Tuesday that suggested that Ukrainian forces were responsible for the attack.

Almaz-Antey, Russia’s largest defense contractor, announced its findings as the basis for a court appeal against EU sanctions placed on the firm last year in the wake of the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 disaster, which caused the death of 298 people.

Based on the findings of a technical study of the MH17 wreckage, the firm concluded that a missile not used in Russia but found in Ukraine’s arsenal destroyed the plane, and that the launch location was in territory allegedly held by Ukrainian forces.

Old Missile
Almaz-Antey at its press conference Tuesday concluded that an outdated missile, no longer used in Russia but widely sold abroad, was likely responsible for the plane’s destruction.

The holes found in the skin of MH17 were characteristic of a specific type of missile once built for the Buk-M1 system — the discontinued 9M38-M1 — said Mikhail Malyshevsky, a technical adviser to the company who led the presentation.

“If MH17 was shot down by a surface-to-air missile, it could only have been done by a 9M38-M1 missile fired from a Buk-M1 launcher,” air defense firm Almaz-Antey’s CEO Yan Novikov told reporters.

The 9M38-M1 missile went out of production in 1999 and all stocks have been sold abroad, Novikov said. Ukraine was a large buyer of the weapons, he added.

Ukrainian Territory
After examining the direction of the shrapnel penetrations, the Almaz-Antey study also concluded that the missile could not have been launched from the town of Snizhne, a rebel-held territory that international investigators have identified as the likely site of the Buk launch.

Instead, the missile had to be fired from the south of the Zaroshchenskoye township, Malyshevsky asserted.

Malyshevsky and Novikov declined to answer questions concerning who controlled Zaroshchenskoye at the time, but Russia’s military earlier said that Ukrainian forces held power in the area.

Ukraine’s General Staff issued a statement later Tuesday saying it was not in control of Zaroshchenskoye on July 17, news agency RIA Novosti reported.

Novikov told reporters that the firm was so confident in its findings that it would go out of pocket to recreate their version of the incident using a real Boeing 777 and a Buk-M1 armed with a 9M38-M1 missile.
