President-elect Petro Poroshenko, the so-called Chocolate King of Ukraine, is facing an inauguration in the middle of an active civil war, as central government troops aim to reclaim control over the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in the east.
Hopes that Poroshenko’s election would mean serious negotiations to settle the issue seem to have been misplaced, however, as the president-elect has ruled out any negotiations with anyone affiliated with the People’s Republics, dubbing them a “bandit state.”
Poroshenko insisted no civilized state would engage in negotiations with such factions, declaring them “murderers” and “terrorists,” and saying he would prove Ukraine is a civilized country by defeating them militarily.
Poroshenko went on to say that he considered the interim government’s plan to recapture the regions in two or three months as unacceptable, saying that he believes the “counter-terror operation” needs to be carried out fully in a matter of hours.
Any nation that uses the military against itself, such brutal imperialism, surely by such fascist cannibalism they make it impossible for dialogue or anything civilized to transpire.
Great… so much for this guy being reasonable
Yeah. Its time for Putin to "put up or shutup" The Nazi's in Kiev have no intention of being resonable.
After all they are Hitler's favourite sons. Now backed by the New Hitler in the US.
For him it's ok to kill civilians.After all they are only russians…Europ find that normal too.
I'm beginning to wonder how the Ukrainians can contain their sense of euphoria regarding their newly elected president. He's been president-elect for only one day, and he is already starting to say all the wrong things.
Civilized states? When a government consist of Neo fascism and far right politicians, as this man is, the civility of a civilized state becomes the matter of the people, if government refuses to understand this simple social or civility terms then such government gathering is not based on democracy but rather is a government of dictatorial nature even if people have voted for the president, as for this man.
Nationalism can make people blind and def as well, until is to late.
Not one of them voted for him, because he wouldn't let them have a vote!
No vote not part of the country!
If our history is a guideline then the civil war in Ukraine will last long after this President is retired and buried.
"…prove Ukraine is a civilized country by defeating them militarily…" Ummm, right. I suspect that when Putin said he would respect the voters choice that he already knew what Chocky was going to do. Putin also understood that any attempt to brutally defeat the separatists militarily would only inflame the people who live in the east who were not necessarily involved in the revolt…they will be now. And according to Chocky he's going to do it "in a matter of hours" – with military support from…whom? – because the Ukrainians don't have the manpower to accomplish what he wants.
Chocky is banking on the US/EU/NATO providing the men and materiel while at the same time ignoring the brutality of the Ukrainian military (and it's hired guns (unpaid, of course)) gunning down it's own citizens. When that starts, Putin is going to have no choice except to step in and stop the uncivilized slaughter – and be on the right side of the issue.
If it gets to this point, the warmongers will have their war with Russia.
It used to be that the US used to stand on the side of the oppressed – some of the time. Now they stand with the fascists and jack-boots. Where's the friggin' reset button on this insanity…
You make a lot of sense.
Pity non of the "warmongers" in the US can see the truth as to what they are encouraging in Ukraine.
Obama must be the WORST President of the USA EVER! And will go down in history as that.
No sovereign state can tolerate rebel groups seizing part of its territory. If the new president had acted otherwise, he would have virtually invited the rebels to carry on. Probably, he will now send in special forces, which is the sole kind of unit capable of defeating armed rebels and will quietly talk to the political leaders of the rebellion. The Russian colonists are a minority and there is absolutely no reason to believe that the native Ukrainian majority in either province has any desire to be annex ed by Russia (even if Putin was stupid enough to try to annex them).
You do not mention however that the present junta in Kiev came into power on the back of terrorism and murder AGAINST A LEGALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT.
So who are the terrorists???
According to Chocky, he has already "…ruled out any negotiations with anyone affiliated with the People’s Republics…" so your claim that he will "quietly talk to the political leaders of the rebellion' seems to be without basis in fact.
So according to Poroshenko civilized countries resort to force rather than diplomacy, and the faster the killing is accomplished the more civilized the country. Sounds like he has been getting advice from neocon nitwit Nuland.
Obviously he has been reading the American Playbook of negotiation and Diplomacy!
