Again touting their promises for a military offensive against protesters in the eastern portion of the country, Ukraine’s interim government has claimed direct US promises of support in the face of “aggression” from the protesters.
US officials have been deployed to Kiev in recent days, most recently Vice President Biden, while US officials have loudly cheered the invasion of the protester-held cities as “counterterrorism” operations designed to improve “law and order” in the country.
Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Yarema told reporters today that the military is working on the “liquidation” of the protester groups, and that actions in the near future would show results.
Yarema said the US support would likely become “more substantive” in the event of Russian military action. Despite supporting the offensives raising tensions with Russia, the Obama Administration says they won’t intervene militarily in Ukraine.
The only weapon that this self proclaimed government of Ukraine has is its mercenaries which are organizing and arming themselves for a long lasting war in Ukraine, in east Ukraine, however, the matter is about people uprising and people power not bunch of hand picked fascists and brain damaged former boxer, so go ahead, be the people guest and take your idiocy to another level. Perhaps the Swedish, the Danish and in general the Scandinavian Neo government will help sending few of their mercenaries to help out, that is to say, if they are not there already.
Interesting maybe the Russians will make the same promise to the Ukraine Elected Prime Minister about counter terrorist activities in relation to the Ultra Right Nazis that have attacked Jews and other minorities as is being reported by the Israeli Paper Haaretz!
Just wondering how the Israel firsters are trying to explain WHY the US is backing an Anti Semetic Pro Nazi Group that is attacking Jews in the Western Ukraine where they are roaming around as Militia, holding Government buildings and road checkpoints!
Yeah! Woulden't we all like to know.
Maybe its because those fools don't realise what is happening in Ukraine OR even where Ukraine is.
Just imgine the uproar in Washington if Yanukovich had ordered the Ukraine military to liquidate the protesters in Maidan Square.
Yes the USG, The EU and all the other hangers-on would be frothing at the mouth in rage.. Just shows what hypocrites they are.
Crime partners. And when Russia supports the eastern separatist, i want to hear nothing from the assholes who cry foul.
I don't forsee military intervention in Ukraine in the short term. Eastern Ukraine is a salient. Military forces could be cut off by an attack from Belarus. It would be military madness to attack eastern Ukriane from, say, Poland. NATO's front line runs from Narva in Estonia down to the Black Sea and right around via Turkey to the borders of Georgia. If Putin were to attack a NATO country, then all the NATO members could retaliate. Air strikes of the kind used to deal with Milosevic could then be made on Eastern Ukraine and, indeed, Crimea, from Romania and Turkey. Narva is the trap. Putin must either capitulate or walk straight into it.
So is this like Georgia all over again?
1) Promises of support by the US in case of armed conflict
2) Useful idiot decides to act
3) ???
4) Mad beatdowns occur as Russia was basically just waiting for this to happen
5) McCain livid on TV, CNN pumps out wrongly labeled footage, overall wag-the-dog situation
6) Russia asserts its sphere of influence, US generally butthurt , promises that "it will be back"
7) Goodies seized from US armed forces "concidentally in the region" are paraded / put into a Moscow musem
8) Some general demands Russia hand back the US stuff because "this is not how things are done in the 21st century"
Of course, this could randomly escalate.
Why would Putin walk into a trap in Narva? Estonia isn't even an issue or him.
