Secretary of State John Kerry angrily condemned Russia today, insisting they are violating the terms of the Minsk ceasefire and threatening to impose more US sanctions on the nation.
That’s not generally news, it’s a virtual daily occurrence that some top US official does so. What is news is that the Minsk ceasefire is holding up incredibly well, and that the day came and went without even a single death.
The big violation of the Minsk deal is coming from the US-backed Poroshenko government, which is refusing to follow through on a promise to withdraw heavy weapons from the frontline, despite the rebels beginning such pullbacks this weekend.
The Obama Administration’s cynical interpretation of the situation in Ukraine is unsurprising, as they were openly opposed to the Minsk talks in the first place. The US is now making a big deal of parading military vehicles along the Estonian-Russian border, all the while insisting it is Russia, which helped negotiate the ceasefire that ended the killing in eastern Ukraine, that is being “aggressive.”
The State Department seems to be a lost cause, a province of israel.
I am quite sure that Joseph Goebbels must be smiling somewhere when he sees his modernday disciples perform so neatly.
Apparently, the old fool Kerry likes to embarrass himself daily, sort of like McCain.
The US was not a signatory to the Minsk agreement so Kerry should STFU.
The US is violating the agreement because the agreement calls for all foreign forces to leave, and the US is not leaving. In fact the US is ramping up its presence.
The US is aggressively trying to start a war with Russia, and is committing war crimes by doing so.
Russia — Your turn for the slaughter house
This has been going on since 1945, when Empire USA nuked Japan to terrorize the world into submission and keep Russia from expansion into Asia. And always has the results been fantastically successful, with the world being totally indifferent to our brutal imperialism in nations like Haiti, Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq. With our goal being Empire expansion unlimited and the whole world being fully aware of it.
So, our burden is not to enlighten the world, but to give it an attitude adjustment. For like cattle being led to the slaughter is it when a slaughter house like Empire USA can cull out it’s victim nations one at a time, drone kill their leaders and pick their bones clean.
The problem was it didn't work, The Soviets kept their promises as usual and declared war on Japan three months to the day after the end of the war in Europe. In about ten days, they captured all of Manchuria and north Korea (an area the size of western Europe) and scared the Japanese high command into accepting the surrender of Japan. Probably also scared the shit out of the Americans as well given how small their stockpile of nuclear bombs was. The Soviets then handed over Manchuria to the Chinese communists and the rest is history.
BTW, many in the west go on about how the Soviets interfered in the internal politics of the countries liberated from the Germans at the end of World War 2. The only problem is they are misguided because the British under Churchill suppressed anti-Fascists in Greece first in support of Nazi collaborators, and Stalin only followed on later in Bulgaria and Romania with a lot less bloodshed
I think they call it 'Full Spectrum Dominance'.
The US Government is the Face of Evil.
Indeed. And all you have to do to confirm it is say to yourself: What would our media and the govt. be saying about another country or countries who behave exactly as we do?
A re-run of the earlier article Mt Ditz linked to and, thus, equally inacurate. Just the usual Israeli tactic of accusing the other side of doing what your side doing.
Threaten Russia?
After its humiliating defeat by the Novorossiyan Armed Forces, Ukraine is on the verge of collapse with hyperinflation, rising threats of a military coup, and Russian threats to turn off the gas.
The country is under lock down and martial law; hundreds of thousands of men have fled Ukraine to avoid being conscripted. The criminal junta is now forced to conscript 60 year old men.
Some reports indicate that the UAF suffered over 10,000 casualties in the Debaltseve Cauldron alone.
This is the price of American meddling so far. The only "hearts and minds" the U.S. has managed to win in Ukraine are those of the Junta members, Kolomoisky and the kosher-Nazi batallions. The whole world knows that this entire disaster is almost entirely the fault of the U.S. State Department and the C.I.A.
We are left with three plausibilites : either the highest levels of that these agencies of government staffed at the highest levels with mindless incompetents, bloodthirsty psycopaths or both.
What is interesting to note is that many of my russians friends are sad for ukrainians.But my ukrainians friends are hating russians.Are part of ukrainians becoming polish by mind.It seems to be.
