US considers offering military help to Ukraine – Kerry advisor [link to on.rt.com]

Didn't the US version of this story say they would only be giving "non-lethal" aid?

MaidanMeeting in #Kyiv today decided 2 demand actions or President to resign tmrw morning.Some activists headed 2 #RADA already @HromadskeTV
 Quoting: < DL >


It's not the President that's the problem, it's the army not carrying out his orders.
 Quoting: Lime Flavoured Redux


Well the leadership has been so god damn weak that I wouldn't want to be the first soldier to spill blood either. Sacking the president could be the jolt the East needs to show they are serious. IDK, maybe I'm just not thinking straight today. afro
 Quoting: < DL >


Maybe, but that assumes the army would take orders from anyone. Now, Right Sector could raise militias if not, but I don't think a militia is going to do much against a better equipped militia, supported by Russian special forces, in defencable positions.

You mix two different things.
Way back that was Russian territory.
What did we do with all those Turks?
Mongols initially were very low in numbers and you have to study how Ottoman empire became Ottoman empire. Lots of those "Turks" just chose to remain Turks after the Ottoman empire dissolved. They used to be Byzantines, Greeks, Romans etc
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56820272


I do. Sorry. It didn't occur to me at a time that Greece was Turkish territory for much longer than Crimea was Russian.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56816386


Eurasian Hellenistic Kingdoms and Greek City states territories started off as 100% Greek, became 100% Grecian-Byzantine (Greek+Latin+Scythe (Slavic)+Assyrian+Armenian) after that Ottoman Empire started and after it was dissolved up 10% were self identified as Greeks, around 60% as Turkish and the rest were being identified with relevant territories.
What we know off Crimea historically was Scythe which were fore bearers of the Slavic people, Greek port cities and then the Ottoman Empire. All the slavic people were identified mostly as Russians. It were Polish+Romanian=Russians that make up Ukraine. There is no Ukrainian as we say there is a Greek or a Russian or a Turk.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56820272


After Muscovia-Moscovia has stolen the name of Rus from Kyivan Rus in attempts to look more ancient in eyes of the whole world people living in a true Rus decided to call themselves Ukrainians in order others don't mix them up with these fucking Muscovits.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56820272


JUST the kinda guy you want with his finger on the "FIRE" button if you are TRYING to create a NEW "RMEMBER THE MAINE" incident!

Shoot down Russian Aircraft on a "buzzing" run ... voila, Russians retaliate by sinking the ship ... voila INCIDENT is now an excuse for the US to go to FULL WAR MODE, even though the US shot first and killed first.

Kerry, and his Neo-Con handlers, seems to be TRYING to create some sort of incident that gets a War started. Not sure why, but that seems to be their game plan.

(arming the Ukrainians and encouraging them to attack locals in Eastern Ukraine seems to be geared towards starting a shooting Civil War in Ukraine as Kiev tries to put down the locals (who are mostly of Russian extraction), which when it breaks out can then also be blamed on the Russians and justifying US going to War)

Kerry sure is pushing his, and McCain's, NEW WAR scenario as fast as he can.

lol I don't consider myself much of an armchair general, but still:

What I think the west should do is 1) tell Kiev that they are free to defend themselves if they are able, but we wont provide "boots on the ground assistance". I would provide intel and radar cover (via the AWACs moved to Poland) though.

2) Tell Russia that we know their are Russian special forces on the ground and can prove it if needed, and tell them to get out.

3) Keep the pressure on at the UN and through sanctions on Russian companies, and keep open the threat of sanctions on Russian gas.

4) If Russia continue to ignore everything and insist that there are no Russians in Ukraine, start to obviously reinforce NATO borders in Poland and the Baltic states.

Moscow was today's Ukrainians escaping the Mongols, before that Moscow was a few huts. Kiev is 5000+ yrs old. Putin is just a fucking mangled ex-communist.
 Quoting: Tpotleoz

What do you talking about, exactly? We all can use google you know.

The exact century of city of Kiev foundation has not been determined. Legend has it that the emergence of a great city on the future location of Kiev was prophesied by St. Andrew (d. AD 60/70) fascinated by the spectacular location on the hilly shores of the Dnieper River. The city is thought to have existed as early as the 6th century, initially as a Slavic settlement. Gradually acquiring eminence as the center of the East Slavic civilization, Kiev reached its Golden Age as the center Kievan Rus' in the 10th–12th centuries.


The first reference to Moscow dates from 1147 as a meeting place of Yuri Dolgorukiy and Sviatoslav Olgovich. At the time it was a minor town on the western border of Vladimir-Suzdal Principality. ("Voice of Russia" claims that archaeologists have discovered artifacts pushing the history of the city back a century.)

In 1156, Knjaz Yury Dolgoruky fortified the town with a timber fence and a moat. In the course of the Mongol invasion of Rus, the Golden Horde burned the city to the ground and killed its inhabitants.
Daniel I ruled Moscow as Grand Duke until 1303 and established it as a prosperous city which would eclipse its parent principality of Vladimir by the 1320s.

On the right bank of the Moskva River, at a distance of 5 miles from the Kremlin not later than in 1282 Daniel founded the first monastery with the wooden church of St. Daniel-Stylite. Now it is the Danilov Monastery. Daniel died in 1303, at the age of 42. Before his death he became a monk and, according to his will, was buried in the cemetery of the St. Daniel Monastery.

Moscow was stable and prosperous for many years and attracted a large numbers of refugees from across Russia.


and so on, thanks for the history reminder though! hf
