After US-backed protesters imposed regime change in the Ukraine, the Crimean Peninsula, which is majority Russian, has exploded in a round of secessionist protests, sparking allegations from the new pro-US government that Russia is spearheading the whole thing and “invading” them.
President Obama, always willing to believe a good story that allows him to intervene, today expressed “deep concerns” about Russia, warning them they would pay a heavy cost for “meddling” in Ukraine.
So far Russia has held some military exercises along the border with Ukraine, and took up defensive positions around their naval base in the Crimea. They insist everything they’ve done is in keeping with long-standing military agreements with Ukraine’s government.
The main US concern is less anything Russia is doing, but the fact that there is a growing secessionist movement in the Crimea that is likely to win a referendum on splitting off, and US comments have centered around the inviolable nature of Ukraine’s 1991 borders, which it insists all nations must accept unconditionally.
Interestingly, the US anger at Ukraine secessionism was completely missing in action only a week ago, before the pro-Russian government’s ouster, when pro-West protesters in the city of Lviv were pushing for secession and the establishment of an independent Halych-Volyn that would encompass much of the western half of the EU. Apparently it’s not as funny when the other side does it.
Me, Joe Biden and Angela Markell of Germany have decided for Ukraine to be governed by the Neo, old and ok’d fascism, so you have been warned Russia.
Her name is Angela Merkel. Incidentally she speaks Russian fluently.
'The world is my oyster!
What's the matter with this guy? Dosen't he know who I am?'
Yesterday a passenger plane from Turkey bound to Crimea where midway s ordered back without any plausible explanation yet: http://allcrimea.net/photo3/28021407.jpg
There has been speculations that the plane contained Turkey and Saudi sponsored & controlled Wahhabi freaks, recently back in Turkey from Syria, that the Russian & Crimean intelligence found out about it and Mullah Erdogan got cold feet. That sounds credible and wouldn´t have happened without Washington´s consent since the Tatar Turks in Crimea (12% of Crimean population) on an instant stopped their US sponsored actions on orders from Tatarstan and tribal leaders in Turkey and we havn´t heard a peep or a "Allahu Akbar" from them since.
The US started regime change operations on three fronts in the shadow of the Olympic´S but their "shock and awe" moment in Ukraine is over and NATO has pushed as far as they can get short of starting WW3, facing 150.000 Russian soldiers in and around Ukraine, war planes, battle ships and whatnot has cooled the Danish poodle Foggy Ratmussen´s inflammatory statements and threats considerably, with the Europen NATO chief saying "we will not fight the Russians over Ukraine", the memories of a sore smashed noose in Georgia 2008 where they eventually chickened out and backed off may also have something to do with their lost hubris now.
With Crimea secured by local NDF and possibly Spetsnaz troops, from US supported Nazi-thugs and Wahhabis from Turkey there´s not much the US and NATO (Crimea was THE prize) can do but keep b'ching. And the US imposed fascist regime will only last til IMF´s "austerity measures" sends people right back on the street and this giant Albatross crashes don on Brussels…
About a quarter of my ancestry lived in "Halych-Volyn", or Galicia and Volhynia and in and around Lviv as well. They came to America about 80 years ago, and as far as they were concerned, they were from Russia. Just Sayin'
There is something overwhelmingly obscene and disgusting about America and how its conducting itself yet again in the affairs of other sovereign countries. Not only do they start this entire affair in Ukraine, but have the gall to threaten Russia not to intervene in what, for all intents and purposes, was for centuries a part of Russia and is the cradle of Russian civilization. This nation of belligerent murderers has got to be stopped.
Now that Russia is distracted with what is going on in Ukraine, I have no doubt that Israel will take advantage of the situation and attack Lebanon and parts of Syria.
Who is going to warn Obama about him arming al-Qaeda to destabilize Syria?
The latest frightening development is that the European parliament is now considering full EU membership for Ukraine instead of association with EU. At least one Foreign Minister, Timmermans of The Netherlands, is calling that a serious mistake.
maybe I'm just getting mixed up but wasn't there some other island/peninsular where there was a giant naval fleet where the inhabitants(co coreligionists with a nation which are are always up to no good according to some) were pressing for democratic reforms and and a foreign power sent the troops in to secure it. if only i could remember where that was and who was involved? 😉
I'm waiting for Obama to draw another line in the sand…you know, just like he did in Syria…and then waffled when that "line" was crossed (by those he was aiding, btw).
When we meddle it’s perfectly OK. When anyone else meddles, it’s not OK,or at least not without our permission, because we rule the world, and don’t you forget it.
At least Putin goes to his legislature for a declaration of war, something that our constitution says our executive branch must do.
"How dare Russia meddle in US meddling!" Obama Admin. 2014
This is a war on american citizen. Money, money and more money is now spent on another optional crisis. Profiting from crisis is the business model that corporations live off. For as long as they can fleece taxpayers, they love every crisis. And the kind of people we now have in State Department and White House are juveniles that are thrilled to cause another chaos. We are still paying for Iraq and Afghanistan, and the deep sink hole called Libya, Central African Republic and Mali. All result of entirely optional meddling. Syria is taking billions in support to all regional players that allow us to funnel goods and mercenaries. And now this! Ukraine is on a verge of banktruptcy, and the Nazi government we installed is from Ukraine's west. The government has broken the country, and is now complaining that other regions want out. No problem, we have money for all those "activists', NGOs, advisors and the army of State Department paper-pushers that will now have another "crisis" to ask money for.
Pottery Barn rule: we broke Ukraine, and we will pay for it.
USA is built by mafia from Italy, Irish and Jewish. The top Italian mafia are in gambling business, the Irish are in real state business and Jewish are in politics dominating the past and present politics of the government, but don't get me wrong, many of them are honest and hard working, as many Irish and Italian or Jewish police officers, firefighters and etc.
As Verizon, sprint, AT&T and many other top 500 companies as Boeing, not paying a penny in taxes the government gets paid in form of metadata collected, which questions the people's freedom; however there is no freedom when you are controlled in both economical and social political terms, in such system, the system itself corrupted by so much where it needs the tools in controlling rather then looking at people's needs, the police stat, NSA, drones and etc are just a few.
The foreign USG and EU policies is based on notion which presented by Paul Wolfowitz in 1990, the established political figure from the Zionism political (mafia) ideologue, the entity of USG which presents what is AIPAC. IMF and others are economical and bribing tools of USG and EU governing the international economical aspects of these governments, they are against any kind of idea which would bring a social economic or a just social political system as a functioning tool with respect to democratic values and principals; therefor, in last 30 years most of these regimes have found "their kind of democracy" declining where they have lost people's trust, which forces top ranking democrats in USA or in Germany to lie to the people to get elected, further in cooperation with Saudis barbarians, an stone aged regime, the Europeans Neo, old and ok'd fascism, nazism, ideologically, these government have found a new way in cooperation fooling nations by manipulating their politics calling it democracy.
Do these morons there in Washington really believe that Russia will stand by and watch how there crucial interest are being violated by the Western imperialist powers?
In 1942-1944 the Red Army fought bitter battlles against the German Wehrmacht army and paid costly for their victory against German imperialism.
Ukraine and especially the Crimea and Sevastopol are of extrem strategic importance for Russia.
I wonder what the US would do if Russia meddled in the "Backyard" of the US in Central and South America.
These insanes really want WW III it seems to me to save the bankrupt international financial system….
Russia kicked Georgia ass while the pussies in NATO were watching, nothing has changed. Lots of hypocritical rhetoric with nothing to show for it. Ukraine aint over yet.
"Costs". Yeah, like what? What exactly is America going to do? Nothing.
Whoever thinks they are winning wants it all. Whoever thinks they are losing wants half. That is the entire story behind the positions of both sides as they change over time on splitting up Ukraine.
Vlad the Hammer, what a man. Calm, cool, goin' about his business.
What does the limp wrist POTUS do? Grovels to his Pentagon bosses, polishes the glass on his teleprompter and pencils a note to himself to make sure to check his sanitation pad every 12 hours for leakage.
How much more suffering must the Ukrainian people endure? One half of my ancestry is also from the western region of Galicia in the Carpathian mountains. Must our young men & women of Ukrainian descent in Pennsylvania ‘BE FORCED’ to kill their own family? The SULFUR STENCH COMING from the black house is sickening. What will it take to awaken YOU PATHETIC ‘murikan’ SHEEPLE? Amerika–> STAY THE HELL OUT OF THE UKRAINE. You have caused enough slaughter on this planet..
Obama best be careful, his hypocrisy is showing and Putin and Russia are not Kadafi and Libya.
Russia meddling?
In Ukraine on top of that?
And what's US doing in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, Venezuela, Mexico, Canada, to name but a few countries?
I hope Putin tells that gay-looking to piss off.
Regardless of whose side you’re on or the view you take its ridiculous the fact the west will allow the elected president to be removed as it happened in Egypt when it suits their agenda. These leaders all of them of instruments of the devil…not in the sense of the horned man but these people are simple evil men acting civilized while they send the pawns off to get killed so their friends can benefit whether its the oil companies, the war companies, the spying entities or whatever. It’s disgusting that what the racist slave master forefathers of the west envisioned is all gone….they ran away from the elite playing games with our lives, the church acting in the interests of kings so they came to found America but once again it was hijacked by the elitists….unfortunately they didn’t follow us from Europe but the ones in power here became what their forefathers ran from. It’s still the same as it was 1000 years ago but they just have more things to distract us with, we work so muc that tv raises our kids and.brainwashes then from a young age while we go along as mindless sheep….kinda like the majority in the time of Jesus so it is today….we are lowering ourshelves once again and even the.pervisions.of Sodam and Gomera doesn’t seem as bad compared to the way all these nation’s and.people act today. The majority are just animals who eat with a knife and fork….its pathetic what we.are and how.bad we will eventually become.
