Yesterday was deal-making day in Geneva, as US and Russian officials reached a joint statement on the growing eastern Ukraine crisis. Today, that’s all but forgotten, as the two sides are back to issuing stern warnings to one another.
When the East Ukraine protesters, who weren’t invited to the talks, said they didn’t feel obligated to the deal, Secretary of State John Kerry issued a statement warning Russia about it, and threatening sanctions to punish Russia for the protesters’ defiance of US demands.
Russia followed that up with a warning of their own that the US better not impose any sanctions, and that the threats were “absolutely unacceptable.” Officials added that the nation still has military forces along the border with eastern Ukraine and won’t accept a military offensive there.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry went on to term the US completely unreasonable, saying they were determined to blame Russia every time anything goes wrong in the Ukraine.
This is the problem with leaders who live in a fantasy land of their own making. They make mistakes. They make mistakes like believing their own fantasy that Russia is causing all the problems. This mistake in understanding reality leads to the mistaken belief that an agreement with Russia would solve all the problems. Then fantasy world dissolves as reality shows that the people who actually live in the eastern Ukraine have their own thoughts and their own goals and that the whole fantasy that every protester was really just a Russia special forces soldier in disguise just goes 'poof'.
Then you are still left with the reality of people trying to resist a fascist regime that apparently feels they have the right to kill anyone who doesn't want to be ruled by them.
Russia should make clear that any failure of the puppet Kiev government to disarm Svoboda's and Right Sector's paramilitaries and to end their threat to the various peoples' republics in the East immediately will result in their – the Russians – doing so. Should that happen, the US will be forced simply to accept the situation passively. Kerry and Obama need a little humility. I say help these very noisy little mice and their stooge media to develop some.
Well, as Obama have said: "Russia knows that our fire power is superior to Russians", which by itself is a warning to Russia and rest of the world and as we have noticed Russians shaking like a tree in a windy day in Siberia, but that's not all, USG will sanction Russia too, now here is the problem, USG, so as the EU government are the entity of capitalism economic system and capitalism markets are shrinking, if they sanction Russia in reality they are sanctioning their masters and they don't like that.
But when it comes to smaller nations with les production but more dependency on USG and or EU then they are very successful with sanctioning, like Iraq, not only they ruined the country but they still supporting those who created the problem, like Saudi Arabia king and others. So, nations of pacific and Eastern Europe beware of THE wolf in a sheep cloths.
Isen't it just typical of the EU and USA to blame everyone but themselves for the mess they have created
I suspect they don't look at it as "a mess" but just part of the process in executing the "plan." Just like the total system crash in Iraq when the US disbanded the police and army wasn't a mess but part of the overall plan to destroy Iraq.
The US is going to continue to egg the junta on with the hope that they do something stupid which Putin will not be able to ignore…and then the US/EU will have their war – and they'll announce that they are completely justified – in their eyes.
I almost felt a primal scream welling up inside of me when I read what Kerry had to say………. warning Russia about it, and threatening sanctions to "punish" Russia for the protesters’ "defiance" of US "demands". Punish Russia? Who in God's are you bastards to go threatening other nations that refuse to bend their knees to you in supplication? Who are you, you miscreant mass murdering nation to treat other nations as though they were small children that will be punished if they disobey daddy's "demands".
The sooner the United Fascist States of Amerika is destroyed politically and economically where it stops being a menace to the rest of the world, the better off the world would be. If there is a God somewhere, Please make it so!
The putschists did agree to the statement but said that their offensive would continue to retake the buildings that the separatists–who weren't invited to Geneva–never agreed to abandon. The statement seems to be of little consequence. If 'all the world is indeed a stage' then Geneva gave Kerry the Ketchup King a chance to flounce around waving his little scrap of paper and screeching about anti-Semitism…all the while spending billions to support the Fascist, anti-Semitic mother ship in Kiev…This stunt shows not only the contempt he has for those of us who are taxed to endure this rubbish but how callow and vile this murderer of little girls is…this is the man who spent four months in Vietnam and was given a box full of medals before returning to the US to a state full of imbeciles who not only elected Mike Dukakis but Mitt Romney as well…He probably won the election in 2004, over his fellow death cult member, the Chimp, but being a Yale 'man' with a Bonered Skull he flew off to sweet home Colorado to party with the Terminator…a fellow who has a penchant for wearing SS belt buckles…rather than challenge the results in Ohio…Just pause for a moment and stand in awe at the monumental incompetence of the American people…they actually voted overwhelming for Kerry and Bush…
> a fellow who has a penchant for wearing SS belt buckles.
What?
Just like a dynos — body getting bigger, and proportionally, head smaller. The officials communicating on the level of teens on facebook. Media acting as mean girls, taking Putin on. No grown ups. That was on display when Rolling Stone interviewed McChrystal and his aides. They souded so immature, and that was not even noticed! Immaturity, facebook style idiocy now being the norm. Believing that one CREATES reality is a sign of regression brought about by Hubris, or Christian sin of Pride.
As for all the Republicans, they are with few exceptions, secret Obama admirerers. Everyting Obama is doing, they want to do — just better, faster, bigger, more and more! Obama just wants to be unBush by being "reluctant" , while pushing Bush policies to the max. The world has seen Bush and unBush, and they are all the same, for all the "reluctance" of democratic version of neocons. And the twin headed neocon monster of Trotsky-Strauss, is creating the Neocon International with the "democracy' as their Trotskyite flag, and militancy as their Straussian call for ruthlessness. Sorry is any country that gets gripped by ideology.
Please help making clear to Obama, Congress, Pentagon: If they don't stop deployment of missiles in Eastern Europe and on 32 ships in the Mediterranean Sea and change policy the result may well be Launch On Warning-and there is no defense against LOW. If there is no other way to secure that Russia won't die alone, we'll all commit Suicide because of the aggressive, stupid, crazy bloody fools in the Pentagon. But please help making them aware that their policies will result in Launch On Warning=Mutually Assured Suicide. If that happens, we committed Suicide for being too stupid,
crazy, retarded. Pursuing a Disarming First Strike Capability (the books by missile engineer Bob Aldridge -www.plrc.org) is stupid, crazy, retarded and above all Suicidal. Bloody fools in the Pentagon!
