Ukraine’s Inconvenient Neo-Nazis

The U.S. media’s take on the Ukraine crisis is that a “democratic revolution” ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, followed by a “legitimate” change of government. So, to mention the key role played neo-Nazi militias in the putsch or to note that Yanukovych was democratically elected – and then illegally deposed – gets you dismissed as a “Russian propagandist.”

But Ukraine’s neo-Nazis are not some urban legend. Their presence is real, as they swagger in their paramilitary garb through the streets of Kiev, displaying Nazi insignias, honoring SS collaborators from World War II, and hoisting racist banners, including the white-power symbol of the Confederate battle flag.

Please read this Sun and comment on it. I'm really interested how you might see this. Also the term 'shale gas' are you talking about Canada's or about Nat Gas which is being pursued aggressively in the states.

Both are consistent with my understanding, though I am not an expert. I don't think that it wouldn't work technically, but it will be expensive and take quite some time to build. So at least in the meantime, dependence is there.

As to whether sufficient supply capacity remains above what has already been allocated or sold, I don't know, estimates of total supply and recoverable supply vary greatly.

After accusations of involvement in "anti-terrorist operation" FSB admit to having been in Kyiv in February. [link to www.pravda.com.ua] …

EU was threatening sanctions long before Feb. 18. Even in December already. I was living in Kiev at the time, so I am quite aware of what was happening.

Somebody gained Crimea..for now. And lot of Berkut dudes bolted there. I am sure it's just a coincidence and that's why I am coincidence theorist.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55874494

It is a fair point. No one can be excluded as a suspect. That is why the investigation must be open - must include Russia and EU and be handled by competent professionals from the various country's agencies, not by politicians - and certainly not by politicians who are suspects and who benefited massively from the subsequent coup. But the way the investigation is going, it looks very much like a cover up.

Remember, too, that the current government is violating their written agreement (which, ironically, was demanded by them, as they were the "opposition" at the time and were worried Yanukovych would manipulate the investigation) of Feb. 21 in which they demanded that both them (the opposition, with Yanukovych being in that role now) and EU be involved in the investigation.

That would mean that when operations in the Ukraine mainland began they would be noticed by NATO from the beginning stages with an excessive lead time and little doubt about Russian intentions once things started moving into place.

That is no way to play the game. It makes no sense in such a tense situation not to position troops, material and special forces to react quickly to all contingencies.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56469203

Are you arguing that the troop build-up must be true because it makes sense for Russia to be ready to invade Ukraine? I can argue why it doesn't make sense: for example, they have no intent to invade; they have enough forces to respond to any foreseeable emergency; and/or they do not want to aggravate tensions more than necessary. They have conducted drills (among others, they moved 150,000 troops 1,000 km in a short time) to prove to themselves, NATO and Ukraine that they can mobilize vast numbers of troops quickly if they want to. And there is nothing NATO can do in that time short of starting a war against Russia, which they can do in any event if Russia invades Ukraine - but they would not.

But the main point is that, there are no massed troops. So far all the evidence we have is 20 tanks on a train from some weeks ago and 4 helicopters at a military base.

 Quoting: RedEyeJedi

Well it seems quite some people are unhappy with me writing here, but I don't really want to stop at the moment, so Luis, please make a decision (sorry to put you in the spot but it is your thread): if you ask I will start a new thread on this topic, with no hard feelings whatsoever.

I have not wanted to split the thread because it is better with different viewpoints, and more contributors, but also I don't want to take over the thread or antagonize other valued contributors (those who just come here to moan, you know, you can just select "Ignore" to not even see someone's posts).

If you have an opinion please send it to Luisport in a private message and I will await his decision - I hope this thread does not become any more about me than what it has already.

In the meantime though I may post a bit more here :).

 Quoting: Sun_dancer


I am arguing that Russia would be foolish not to be making preliminary preparations for invasion if that were a real contingency. You admit that it is possible that Russia will decide to invade but deride any reports of concrete preparations. Why even threaten? It actually makes an invasion a more likely if you let the other side think you aren't serious when you are.

The more serious flaw is your assumption that time is somehow a luxury to be squandered in real-time military operations. I am no expert but I seriously doubt that any real planner would be so cavalier about beginning a major operation with a long lead time from a standing start just because of diplomatic statements and amid exercises and saber-rattling deployments from the other side. The quicker defined objectives are achieved the better.

You can declare as fact what you cannot know all you want. Luckily this is a thread on a message board and you aren't betting your life on it.

On the basis of a fact that Putin was laudmouthing his intentions of "protecting" Russians that live outside Russia. That was also a "basis" of his "liberation" of Crimea. Neither "liberation" nor "protection" is possible without large military force ready and at hand. It seems what you are really saying is that Putin is dumber than used brick.

Really what this is about from my perspective is agitating people, being provocative, increasing tension. I think whoever is behind the propaganda - whoever is telling the proven sycophant Rasmussen to make these statements - is trying to incite hatred and confrontation. The question for me is, why? Well, we may find out the way they end up channeling the hatred they are creating. Or they may decide, they have made their point and call off the dogs.

Why do I think it is purely aggravating? Because everyone knows Russia can invade Ukraine. They in no way have to be poised on the border - everyone knows they can be, whether it takes 1 day or 3 days or 5 days. In any case nobody can or will do anything about it - if they were, they would have done something long ago.

So this is just games. And the fact that the troops really aren't there, that is the key to my opinion that what is happening is a planned, scientific program of radicalization of particularly Ukrainians but also of Europeans and Americans against Russia.

Whoever is making these policy decisions, I am completely against them. I want to live in a world of peace and understanding. I don't want to live in a world where some small cabal centered around Washington, D.C. and Brussels can radicalize the world and start conflicts at their whim, just because they decide to spout lies to manipulate the masses.

"[T]his would mean consolidating the existing settlement systems to create such a system within a month or two …using the terminals of all leading Russian banks without crossing the border...."

""This can be done inside the country and this will cover about 90 percent of payments our citizens make annually. This can be done ... without issuing new cards ...."

ok guys no more bullshit guesses.

To figure out whats going on all you have to do is add up whats been happening lately in Ukraine and the world.
Basically heres how it is.
1/ The Eu and America backed a coup in Ukraine and put in radical right wingers eg Nazi sympathisers, they follow the nazi ideology.
2/ Russia seen this as an American and NWO lead move to take yet another ex soviet state and put corrupt officials in power that the Eu and America eg the NWO could Bribe and control.
By opening an IMF loan and a central bank controlled by the NWO.
3/ Russia put in troops to secure Ukraine eg elf Defence Forces, by means of stealth in plain sight eg no Russian insignia on their uniforms but obviously Russian. Brilliant move as it let Russia take Ukraine and America and Nato could do nothing without proof the forces were Russian.
4/ Putin has kept the Majority of the forces used in Crimea on the Border of Ukraine and added to them slowly so as not to escalate to quickly. Until he can create either a false flag or stir up dissent among the Russians and Russian speakers by raising gas prices and making the Crimea look far better than Ukraine so as to stir resentment against the Ukraine Right party eg Nazis in power.
5/ Putin is a master of Chess and he is 100% thinking in advance, he will wait till the gas prices bite and in the mean time he will stir hatred against the current Ukraine leaders and other provinces in Ukraine. Once the rioting and violence begins, which it will he will go into the areas that he has destabilised and again will try to use the same process eg Self Defence Forces. Putin has no choice, the Bankers, globalists, America, Eu, and Nato eg the NWO are making their final push at a World Government but need Russia and China out of the picture. Putin knows this and he either puts up a defence now by securing his borders or the NWO will slowly but surely take every border country or province and block him in. Once Russia is blocked in the NWO will create unrest in Russia as they have been doing for years to try and collapse the Country from within. The only problem is Putin is wise to the game and is playing by his rules.
5/ This will eventually come to a point of no return and war will be the outcome. We are seeing the financial beginnings and the movement of military resources for a third world war. The NWO are only needing one thing and that is for Putin to shoot first. They need a bad guy to blame for a global financial collapse. But they need it to build up and look like they tried to avert a war so after all is said and done they can come out of it as the good guys. Public opinion is already against America and the Eu so they cannot go to war yet. We seen them bow to public opinion about syria and the end result was no WAR. If the general public get swayed to believe Russia is the bad guy then the NWO will use NATO and go to War with Russia. If Russia does not invade as the NWO want, then no doubt we will see some type of False Flag attack on a NATO member to kick it all off.
It is quite obvious the NWO want and need a large war. All the talk about Russian Troops buiding up on Ukraines borders is proof. If Russia wanted to invade they would have done it while Ukraine was weak just after the protests. Russia and Putin are not stupid they know exactly what is going on and will not give a reason for NATO to attack them. The only way the NWO get their war and a big bad Russian enemy is via the good ole tried asnd true FALSE FLAG. Enter the missing malaysian plane. Ukraine and the missing flight are connected. We will soon see how it all plays out, but it seems there is no escaping a Third World War. Russia will not back down, if they do its the end for them.

you just wrote what i couldn't be bothered to.

i agree in principal with that. it is so much more complex in my mind i cant be bothered writing about it.

the way i read is you see this continuing to escalate quite rapidly. this has not been my impression of how this plays out. of course we have seen quick escalation so far, but they are not gaining the support of the public. i dont believe ukraine happened the way they intended and that is why the media blackout, plane?. a continued escalation at the current pace may be the way to play. in that case, shit just got real.

"Our friends tell us that in the homes of the leaders of the friendly organizations in Donetsk from the early morning detentions and searches!

EU was threatening sanctions long before Feb. 18. Even in December already. I was living in Kiev at the time, so I am quite aware of what was happening.

Astrologers know that the cosmic influence on the global situation will be extremely serious and dangerous in the last decade of April, especially around 21-st of April. The planets form so called "big cross" which includes Pluto, Uranus, Jupiter and Mars. This configuration directly affects the horoscope of Russia as well as the horoscope of president Putin. Such astrological influence is very rare. Last time something similar happended in the year 1192. It is possible that a big war or a great political instability may happen during this period.

ok guys no more bullshit guesses.

To figure out whats going on all you have to do is add up whats been happening lately in Ukraine and the world.
Basically heres how it is.
1/ The Eu and America backed a coup in Ukraine and put in radical right wingers eg Nazi sympathisers, they follow the nazi ideology.
2/ Russia seen this as an American and NWO lead move to take yet another ex soviet state and put corrupt officials in power that the Eu and America eg the NWO could Bribe and control.
By opening an IMF loan and a central bank controlled by the NWO.
3/ Russia put in troops to secure Ukraine eg elf Defence Forces, by means of stealth in plain sight eg no Russian insignia on their uniforms but obviously Russian. Brilliant move as it let Russia take Ukraine and America and Nato could do nothing without proof the forces were Russian.
4/ Putin has kept the Majority of the forces used in Crimea on the Border of Ukraine and added to them slowly so as not to escalate to quickly. Until he can create either a false flag or stir up dissent among the Russians and Russian speakers by raising gas prices and making the Crimea look far better than Ukraine so as to stir resentment against the Ukraine Right party eg Nazis in power.
5/ Putin is a master of Chess and he is 100% thinking in advance, he will wait till the gas prices bite and in the mean time he will stir hatred against the current Ukraine leaders and other provinces in Ukraine. Once the rioting and violence begins, which it will he will go into the areas that he has destabilised and again will try to use the same process eg Self Defence Forces. Putin has no choice, the Bankers, globalists, America, Eu, and Nato eg the NWO are making their final push at a World Government but need Russia and China out of the picture. Putin knows this and he either puts up a defence now by securing his borders or the NWO will slowly but surely take every border country or province and block him in. Once Russia is blocked in the NWO will create unrest in Russia as they have been doing for years to try and collapse the Country from within. The only problem is Putin is wise to the game and is playing by his rules.
5/ This will eventually come to a point of no return and war will be the outcome. We are seeing the financial beginnings and the movement of military resources for a third world war. The NWO are only needing one thing and that is for Putin to shoot first. They need a bad guy to blame for a global financial collapse. But they need it to build up and look like they tried to avert a war so after all is said and done they can come out of it as the good guys. Public opinion is already against America and the Eu so they cannot go to war yet. We seen them bow to public opinion about syria and the end result was no WAR. If the general public get swayed to believe Russia is the bad guy then the NWO will use NATO and go to War with Russia. If Russia does not invade as the NWO want, then no doubt we will see some type of False Flag attack on a NATO member to kick it all off.
It is quite obvious the NWO want and need a large war. All the talk about Russian Troops buiding up on Ukraines borders is proof. If Russia wanted to invade they would have done it while Ukraine was weak just after the protests. Russia and Putin are not stupid they know exactly what is going on and will not give a reason for NATO to attack them. The only way the NWO get their war and a big bad Russian enemy is via the good ole tried asnd true FALSE FLAG. Enter the missing malaysian plane. Ukraine and the missing flight are connected. We will soon see how it all plays out, but it seems there is no escaping a Third World War. Russia will not back down, if they do its the end for them.

Sorry I don't have FT subscription. But having read numerous FT articles, I predict it says: "Russia bad bad bad bad bad bad bad", followed by "Putin evil evil evil evil". That sum it up?

As a general matter, I would tend to agree as relations between parties become more strained, one side or another is not inclined to be as lenient as in the past.

But whether politically motivated or not, it is not "economic coercion". If you like paying for news/information and keep this discussion going, I think this law review piece would be useful ( [link to heinonline.org] ), we can read it together :).

The real economic coercion going on in the world is pretty much centered around the US and its "sanctions" regime, currently for North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Syria, etc. As well as Israel in the Gaza Strip.
 Quoting: Sun_dancer


I don't have a FT subscription either but the article was visible. It shows how Russia has been using politically-motivated trade bans to coerce former USSR states away from signing AA agreements with the EU.

If Russia supports an armed insurrection against a democratically-elected government, you can make your arguments, and I would agree it is unlawful meddling (but would not listen to any bloviating hypocrites condemning it). In the meantime, you are blowing smoke.
 Quoting: Sun_dancer


Armed insurrection? Now you're tripping.

Anyway, you support Russia moving in and annexing a chunk of Ukraine.

At best your best argument is "but but but, the US does shit too, look at what the US did, look, look!".

Two wrongs don't make a right.

At best you want people to say "fuck this, US is mean and craps on international law too; so Russia can do it too".

Even for those who take this view this still means Russia has lost the moral high ground it used to take so much pride in before - respect for sovereignty, international law, non-intervention. And so on. It was propaganda before too, but now it is obvious.
