Despite a ceasefire having held in Ukraine’s Civil War for a couple of weeks now, US officials are still pushing the Obama Administration to follow through and start delivering arms to the Ukrainian military to fight this conflict.
US officials continue to insist the rebels are “violating” the ceasefire, despite death tolls in the conflict having fallen to virtually none, and are presenting this as Russia’s fault, despite Russia’s effort to negotiate the ceasefire, and a number of US officials openly opposing it.
House Speaker John Boehner (R – OH) is leading a Congressional push to arm Ukraine specifically to fight Russia, claiming Russia is in “grotesque violation of international law” and that the arms would stop them.
Though officials are publicly treating the arms as a cure-all for a civil war that is in a state of truce at any rate, privately many are conceding that sending the arms will force Russia to increase its own aid to the eastern rebels, and simply add fuel to the fire.
Sadly Boehner is in fact part of the Problem, the US funded this little civil war, and now they are attempting to escalate it, Question, who makes a profit if there is a war? US Corporations, who doesn't make a profit if there is a cease fire!………US corporations!
we KNOW that both attempts at starting a civil war in Ukraine over the last decade or so have been directly funded by the US! It wasn't Russia, was it!!! furthermore and we should really take stock of this, when the Elected government of Kiev was overthrown, the Coup leaders made very specific threats against the "SUB HUMAN Russian speakers in Eastern Ukraine" and their "EXTERMINATION", now correct me if I am wrong the US invaded Grenada on the basis to protect US university students, that was a full scale Military intervention for what? Protection of a few US Citizens, and the US is castigating Russia for allegedly protecting HOW many Russians from what is know to the world as Genocide!
Good on you Boehner, you have picked a right proper group to back, REAL NAZIS, what are you going to do when they actually start their genocide, because it will not be JUST Russian Sub Humans that they will go after is it, there will be others, and there have been according to Haaretz and the Jerusalem Post attacks on Jewish monuments in Western Ukraine, well away from the East, as well as attacks on Unionists and other groups!
also note who else is helping Ukraine, ISIS is involved providing Chechens!
How credible is the report about ISIS? An journalist(?) nobody's ever heard of posts an article on a website nobody'e ever heard of making the umpteenth wild claim about ISIS arrivring in Europe. We have nothing but the journalist's word for it and in my experience of the US media in general and the internet in particular, that is very far from being enough to suspend disbelief. Certainly, nobody here in Europe seems to be taking this claim any more seriously than the earlier claims.
Nobody in Europe worried about AlQaida or Mujaheed fighting in Yugoslavia either . Kenny objects to the use of the new letters ISIS . They are always changing their name KLA , Mujaheed , IS , Sl ,Boko harm , Muslim brotherhood . They are all Muslims that travel from all over the world to go on Jihad and Chechens have joined the neo Nazi Ukrainian forces to fight the Russian speaking Ukrainians .
What good will arms be for a government whose regular soldiers are reluctant to fight a civil war? Arms to Ukraine will end up with the militias who will steal the arms from the government. Or will be given these arms.
I predict the war in Ukraine is over for now. Their economy and currency have been destroyed, thus Monsanto, Exxon, the shadow banks, etc. can now buy up valuable assets for peanuts. Remember Joe Biden's son, put in charge of a gas company or something?
After the assets are gobbled up, stability of a sort will be necessary to profitably exploit them. And all those important assets will have to be protected by US made arms. So then we have all three branches of government (Finance/Insurance/ Real Estate Sector, Energy Sector, War/Security Sector) in agreement on how to rape and pillage Ukraine while continuing the economic war on Russia.
Meanwhile, in the Fatherland, bloodthirsty Congresscritters can continue to thump their chests and distract fearful and malleable Americans by railing against Putin the Poopyhead.
The biggest problem Our Dear Leaders currently face in Ukraine is the reliability of their Nazi allies. Nuland and company are arrogant enough to believe they can control their Ukrainian goons. In fact, they will prove to be very dangerous loose cannons.
Does this story sound familiar? It sure reminds me of 1920s Germany. Only a very naive person believes the conventional story that good ole Adolf built a dangerous paramilitary and political organization by shear force of his personality. He would've been a nobody without the financial support of wealthy capitalists, including both Germans and Americans. I'm sure they believed they could control Adolf and friends. We all know how that turned out, and we're still paying the price a hundred years later…
That Putin is in violation of the Helsinki Final Act is undeniable. More importantly, he has broken his word (Israeli-style!) on all previous occasions and there is no sign whatsoever of the mercenaries being withdrawn to Russia. There is thus no reason to believe that he will keep his word this time, all the more so as is is now stuck with a ridiculous-looking "sausage" of territory that he cannot expand without breaking the ceasefire. Unless he's planning to capitulate, which is perfectly possible, he has no choice but to start up the war again. There's no reason to wait until Putin attacks again to arm Ukraine and he has nobody but himself to blame for that situation.
"That Putin is in violation of the Helsinki Final Act is undeniable."
Actually, it's very deniable.
First of all, the act was non-binding even on its signatory nations.
Secondly, neither the Russian Federation nor Ukraine WERE signatory nations.
It's like saying that someone driving down the street in Tulsa is in violation of the speed limit in Salt Lake City.

Russian “aggression” — An illusion hiding our expansion
Empire logic, if Russia is acting in self-defense against NATO expansion, then such “aggression” is probable cause for another of our glorious wars of expansion.
It ‘s almost as if Empire USA was a supreme god over our world, the law enforcement and police that governed the world and to defy our will meant that you were a nation not fit to exist in this world.
