Reality on the ground in Ukraine contradicts the incompetent and
immoral Obama regime’s portrait of Ukrainian democracy on the march.
To the extent that government exists in post-coup Ukraine, it is laws
dictated by gun and threat wielding thugs of the neo-Nazi, Russophobic,
ultra-nationalist, right-wing parties. Watch the video of the armed
thug, Aleksandr Muzychko, who boosts of killing Russian soldiers in
Chechnya, dictating to the Rovno regional parliament a grant of
apartments to families of protesters. http://rt.com/news/radical-opposition-intimidating-techniques-882/
Read about the neo-nazis intimidating the Central Election Commission
in order to secure rule and personnel changes in order to favor the
ultra-right in the forthcoming elections. Thug Aleksandr Shevchenko
informed the CEC that armed activists will remain in CEC offices in
order to make certain that the election is not rigged against the
neo-nazis. What he means, of course, is the armed thugs will make sure
the neo-nazis win. If the neo-nazis don’t win, the chances are high
that they will take power regardless.
Members of President Yanukovich’s ruling party, the Party of Regions,
have been shot, had arrest warrants issued for them, have experienced
home invasions and physical threats, and are resigning in droves in
hopes of saving the lives of themselves and their families. The
prosecutor’s office in the Volyn region (western Ukraine) has been
ordered by ultra-nationalists to resign en masse .
Jewish synagogs and Eastern Orthodox Christian churches are being attacked.
To toot my own horn, I might have been the first and only to predict
that Washington’s organization of pro-EU Ukrainian politicians into a
coup against the elected government of Ukraine would destroy democracy
and establish the precedent that force prevails over elections, thereby
empowering the organized and armed extreme right-wing.
This is precisely what has happened. Note that there was no one in
the Obama regime who had enough sense to see the obvious result of their
smug, self-satisfied interference in the internal affairs of Ukraine.
If a democratically elected president and ruling party are so easily
driven from power by armed neo-nazis, what chance do Washington’s paid
stooges among the so-called “moderates” have of forming a government?
These are the corrupt people who wanted President Yanukovich out of
office so that they could take the money instead. The corruption charge
against Yanukovich was cover for the disloyal, undemocratic “moderate”
schemers to seize power and be paid millions of dollars by Washington
for taking Ukraine into the EU and NATO.
The Washington-paid schemers are now reaping their just reward as
they sit in craven silence while neo-nazi Muzychko wielding an Ak-47
challenges government officials to their face: “I dare you take my gun!”
Only Obama, Susan Rice, Victoria Nuland, Washington’s European
puppets, and the Western prostitute media can describe the brutal
reality of post-coup Ukraine as “the forward march of democracy.”
The West now faces a real mess, and so does Russia. The presstitutes
will keep the American public from ever knowing what has happened, and
the Obama regime will never admit it. It is not always clear that even
the Russians want to admit it. The intelligent, reasonable, and humane
Russian Foreign Minister, a person 100 cuts above the despicable John
Kerry, keeps speaking as if this is all a mistake and appealing to the
Western governments to stand behind the agreement that they pressured
President Yanukovich to sign.
Yanukovich is history, as are Washington’s “moderates.” The
moderates are not only corrupt; they are stupid. The fools even
disbanded the Riot Police, leaving themselves at the mercy of the armed
right-wing nazi thugs.
Ukraine is out of control. This is what happens when an arrogant, but
stupid, Assistant Secretary of State (Victoria Nuland) plots with an
equally arrogant and stupid US ambassador (Pyatt) to put their
candidates in power once their coup against the elected president
succeeds. The ignorant and deluded who deny any such plotting occurred
can listen to the conversation between Nuland and Pyatt here:

The situation will almost certainly lead to war. Only Putin’s
diplomatic skills could prevent it. However, Putin has been demonized by
Washington and the whores who comprise the US print and TV media.
European and British politicians would have their Washington paychecks
cut off if they aligned with Putin.
War is unavoidable, because the Western public is out to lunch. The
more facts and information I provide, the more emails I receive
defending the “sincere [and well paid] protesters’ honest protests
against corruption,” as if corruption were the issue. I hear from
Ukrainians and from those of Ukrainian ethnicity in Canada and the US
that it is natural for Ukrainians to hate Russians because Ukrainians
suffered under communism, as if suffering under communism, which
disappeared in 1991, is unique to Ukrainians and has anything to do
with the US coup that has fallen into neo-nazi hands,
No doubt. Many suffered under communism, including Russians. But was
the suffering greater than the suffering of Japanese civilians twice
nuked by the “Indispensable people,” or the suffering by German
civilians whose cities were firebombed, like Tokyo, by the “exceptional
people”?
Today Japan and Germany are Washington’s puppet states. In contrast,
Ukraine was an independent country with a working relationship with
Russia. It was this relationship that Washington wished to destroy.
Now that a reckless and incompetent Washington has opened Pandora’s
Box, more evil has been released upon the world. The suffering will not
be confined to Ukraine.
There are a number of reasons why the situation is likely to develop
in a very bad way. One is that most people are unable to deal with
reality even when reality directly confronts them. When I provide the
facts as they are known, here are some of the responses I receive: “You
are a Putin agent;” “you hate Ukrainians;” “you are defending
corruption;” “you must not know how Ukrainians suffered at the hands of
Stalin.”
Of course, having done Russian studies in graduate school, having
been a member of the US-USSR student exchange program in 1961, having
traveled in Russia, Georgia, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, having published
in scholarly journals of Slavic and Russian studies, having twice
addressed the Soviet Academy of Sciences, having been invited to explain
to the CIA why the Soviet economic collapse occurred despite the CIA’s
predictions to the contrary, I wouldn’t know anything about how people
suffered under communism. The willingness of readers to display to me
their utter ignorance and stupidity is astonishing. There is a large
number of people who think reality consists of their delusions.
Reality is simply too much for mentally and emotionally weak people
who are capable of holding on to their delusions in the face of all
evidence to the contrary. The masses of deluded people and the total
inability of Washington, wallowing it its hubris, to admit a mistake,
mean that Washington’s destabilization of Ukraine is a problem for us
all.
RT reports that “Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered an
urgent military drill to test combat readiness of the armed forces
across western and central Russia.” According to Russia’s Defense
Minister, the surprise drill tested ground troops, Air Force, airborne
troops and aerospace defense. ('I dare you to take my gun!' AK-47-toting Ukraine far-right leader tells officials)
The Defense Minister said: “The drills are not connected with events in Ukraine at all.”
Yes, of course. The Defense Minister says this, because Putin still
hopes that the EU will come to its senses. In my opinion, and I hope I
am wrong, the European “leaders” are too corrupted by Washington’s money
to have any sense. They are bought-and-paid-for. Nothing is important
to them but money.
Ask yourself, why does Russia need at this time an urgent readiness test unrelated to Ukraine? Anyone familiar with geography knows that western and central Russia sit atop Ukraine.
Let us all cross our fingers that another war is not the consequence
of the insouciant American public, the craven cowardice of the
presstitute media, Washington’s corrupt European puppets, and the utter
mendacity of the criminals who rule in Washington.
