“The first contingent of US troops has landed in Poland for military exercises amid tensions with Russia over Ukraine.

An initial 150 soldiers are to be followed by a further 450 within days.

US President Barack Obama has warned Russia it faces new sanctions if it refuses to implement an agreement to reduce tensions in eastern Ukraine.

Reports are coming in of violent incidents overnight between pro-Russian militants and Ukrainian forces in Mariupol and Artemivsk……”

The prospect of WW3 is causing stock to run higher. War is good for the stock market. Well, all bad news is good for the stock market. FB is up 2%, Amazon is up 3% today alone. People will order more crap off the internet, and update their Facebook pages every time the have a bowel movement. 95% of the people in the USSA don’t even know what’s happening in Ukraine, nor do they care. But 99% know Kim Kardasian’s mulatto baby’s name. We’re doomed.

Leave it to the incompetent imbeciles running out country to blow up the world….

Folks, what we are witnessing is the end of the post cold war unipolar world. The evil and corrupt US gov’t has fucked itself this time. Russia is asserting itself as a major player in global affairs and the US and it’s NATO sock puppets are just gonna have to learn to sit and spin when Russia tells them to fuck off.

Right now it’s Russia that is acting like a mature adult in a roomful of unruly children; a fact that I’m certain isn’t lost on the rest of the world.

Still trying to figure out the players here…

We got the Ukrainian government, the pro-Ukrainian militias on one side and the Russians and the separatist militias on the other…

MEANWHILE, the US and the EU are fucking with forces beyond their comprehension, like giving a monkey a loaded handgun, and are sending about 600 or so of my bretheren from the 187th (RAKKASANS!) Airborne into neighboring Poland for…. for fucking what? One guy in a suit with a briefcase, a map, and sail foam can keep an eye on that shit…

THEN you got Joe Fucking Biden showing up in Ukraine doing…. doing fucking what? Running his cock holster and putting down the Russians… dumbass.

MEANWHILE, Putin – who don’t take no shit offa nobody – sends in… well… everyone as far as I can tell and piles them up on the border like a big fucking game of RISK.

These dumbshits will be the end of us….

I’m thinking the banksters want war. They cannot allow the dollar to lose reserve currency status. The Fed has wired trillions to banks in Europe as well. They also cannot lose the petrodollar. They will push Russia into a war, which will go nuclear, as this is the only way to wipe out Russia. Better to nuke somebody than lose reserve currency status. The banksters don’t want the value of their billions to go down….

Obama isn’t qualified to run a lemonade stand. Biden isn’t smart enough play chess. They have a nuke-proof bunker, however, where they’ll be spending time when the ICBM’s start flying….

USSA’s meddling in Ukrainian affairs has produced wonders so far;

— A bigger Russia.

— A smaller Ukraine.

— A happy Russian Crimea.

— A politically-agitated and alarmed Eastern Ukraine in full cry.

— A hungry, confused, and dispirited Ukrainian military, whose troops increasingly find themselves preferring the cut of the Russian army’s jib.

— The withdrawal of many millions of Russian money from EU and UK banks.

— The significant selling of US Treasuries from the Russian treasury’s portfolio.

— A US commitment of $1 billion and of euro 2.5 billion from the EU in emergency funds to Ukraine’s U.S.-selected interim government of no authority.

— A further commitment of $27 billion of US and EU taxpayers’ money to Ukraine via the usual consortium of global loan sharks: the IMF, the EBRD, the World Bank, and the IFC, whose loans will be ““a windfall for hedge funds and Russian banks.” (The initial sum is but a down payment on what will be at a minimum a $200 billion liability.)

— An EU trade agreement with a bankrupt Ukraine whose products are not wanted or needed by the EU.

— A near doubling of the price to Ukraine of formerly Russian-subsidized energy.

— An unworkable plan to pipe Russian energy deliveries to Poland and Slovakia back to Ukraine, whose unnecessary costs US and EU taxpayers will be expected to make good.

— Russian plans to create a national payment settlement system in light of US and EU sanctions, thus striking a blow to the US dollar’s reserve currency status.

— A Russian agreement with Iran to purchase Iranian energy to re-sell and then transport to European buyers. Settlement to be in gold and Russian goods, not U.S. dollars.

— An invigorated effort on the part of both Russia and China to conclude in May a ‘holy grail’ energy partnership in which settlement will not be in U.S. dollars.

Should Eastern European members grasp that the greatest risk they face is not from Russia, but from the use of their territories as military staging grounds to provoke Russia at their peril in order to advance US neocon dreams of world domination, it will be game, set and match for prudence, foresight and peace, and a 25-year overdue farewell to NATO.

Obama says U.S. will defend Japan over Senkaku Islands

“The policy of the United States is clear — the Senkaku Islands are administered by Japan and therefore fall within the scope of Article 5 of the U.S. — Japan Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security. And we oppose any unilateral attempts to undermine Japan’s administration of these islands.”
———- Warmongering Nigger In Charge, yesterday

OK.

— We are basically at war with 1.5 billion mooslims, fucking up one country after another

— It seems we are about to take on Russia (I think they still have a few thousand nukes)

— and now The King Of Peace is willing to fuck with 1.3 billion Chinese

Cool!! I gotta invest in popcorn manufacturers.

Lavrov was interviewed on Sophie Co on RT last night. It’s a great interview. He says the US is running the show in Ukraine and that if the issue wasn’t Ukraine, it would be something else. He listed Syria and Iran as two other examples where the US has proven to be an unreliable partner in that when an agreement is reached, they just move the bar higher. Watch it.

fyi ……. seems like a great place for Ukraine info ….

“The blog ‘The Vineyard of the Saker’ has rocketed in popularity going from 1,000 hits a day to 20,000 a day since the start of the Ukrainian crisis. His analysis takes us to depths that are not even hinted at in the New York Times and other U.S. media. The comments section has also become a robust forum for debate and elaboration.”

The US plan for the Ukraine – a hypothesis by The Saker

Listening to [Russian Foreign Minister Sergey] Lavrov today I came to the conclusion that the regime in Kiev was indeed about to try to attack the eastern Ukraine. It’s not only Lavrov, the Russian Internet is on “red alert” and chock-full of rumors and speculation about an imminent attack. This begs a number of questions:

1) Why would the junta in Kiev so overtly renege on the Geneva agreement?
2) Why would it attack when the chances of success are very small?
3) Why would they attack know that Russia would almost certainly intervene?
4) Why is the US clearly behind that strategy?

I have a hypothesis which I would like to submit to your attention.

First, the junta in Kiev is reneging on the Geneva agreement simply because it cannot abide by its terms. Remember, the junta is composed of a few politicians handpicked by the US and a few Ukrainian oligarchs. They do have money, but no power. How could they possibly impose anything in the well-armed and determined freaks of the Right Sector?

Second, the eastern Ukraine is lost no matter what. So the junta in Kiev have to pick on of the following options:

a) Let the eastern Ukraine leave by means of referendum and do nothing about it.
b) Let the eastern Ukraine leave but only after some violence.
c) Let the eastern Ukraine leave following a Russian military intervention.

Clearly, option ‘a’ is by far the worst. Option ‘b’ is so-so, but option ‘c’ is very nice.

Think of it: this option will make it look like Russia invaded the Eastern Ukraine and that the people there had no say about it. It will also make the rest of the Ukraine rally around the flag. The economic disaster will be blamed on Russia and the Presidential election of May 25th can be canceled due to the Russian “threat”. Not only that, but a war – no matter how silly – is the *perfect* pretext to introduce martial law which can be used to crack down on the Right Sector or anybody expressing views the junta does not like. That is an old trick – trigger a war and people will rally around the regime in power. Create a panic, and people will forget the real issues.

As for the USA – it also knows that the Eastern Ukraine is gone. With Crimea and Eastern Ukraine gone – the Ukraine has exactly *zero* value to the Empire, to why not simply use it as a way to create a new Cold War, something which would be much more sexy that the Global War on Terror or the really old War on Drugs. After all, if Russia is forced to intervene militarily NATO will have to send reinforcements to “protect” countries like Poland or Latvia just in case Putin decides to invade all of the EU.

Bottom line – the freaks in power in Kiev and the USA *know* that the eastern Ukraine is lost for them, and the purpose of the imminent attack is not to “win” against the Russian-speaking rebels or, even less so, to “win” against the Russian military, it is to trigger enough violence to force Russia to intervene. In other words, since the East is lost anyways, it is much better to lose it to the “invading Russian hordes” than to lose it to the local civilian population.

So the purpose of the next attack will not be to win, but to lose. That the Ukrainian military can still do.

Two things can happen to foil this plan:

1) The Ukrainian military might refuse to obey such clearly criminal orders (and becoming a target of the Russian military might help some officers make the correct “purely moral” choice).

2) The local resistance might be strong enough to draw out such an operation and have to come to a grinding halt.

From the Russian point of view things are rather simple: it is infinitely better for Russia to have the East break away without any Russian intervention. If the attacking force is crazy enough to use armor, artillery or airpower, the Russian could decide to strike from the air without actually sending in ground forces. They could also use electronic warfare capabilities to further create chaos inside the attacking force. Limited pinpoint attacks could also serve to demoralize the attacking force. What Russia has to avoid all costs to find itself forced to engage in offensive urban operations which are always dangerous and bloody. It is therefore absolutely essential the the locals take control of their own streets, villages and cities.

Lavrov today delivered a very direct warning: if things go out of hand in the eastern Ukraine Russia will intervene. Hopefully somebody in the West will finally realize that the Russians are never bluffing and that they really mean it. I am not very optimistic though – if Lavrov felt the need to make a full 30min interview in English in which he clearly compared the situation in the Ukraine today to the one in Ossetia in 08.08.08 it is probably because the Russians have intelligence indicating that an attack is imminent.

We shall know very soon.

Stucky, from the comments section of that post:

“вот так said…

Great interview. I noticed that Lavrov confirmed that the zionazis were about to do to Crimea what they did to Kiev. The USN construction contracts for Crimea show that Sevastopol was intended to be a USN base eventually, so their hysterical reaction to seeing those plans scuppered by the “polite armed men in green” is indicative how much they had wanted Sevastopol.

Another thing is Lavrov stressed how the Americans immediately sabotaged agreements after signing them. As Lavrov said, they “pocket their gains, and then do not follow through with what they had agreed to do” (paraphrase). They falsely accuse the other side of practices they themselves were engaging in, and they beginning adding new demands, falsely claiming the agreement was about those, too.

This is exactly how Israel negotiates and applies agreements they agree to. The USA has always been dishonest about applying agreements it makes, but with the Israeli influence now securely emplaced in the American establishment, one can see the USA slowly becoming fully israelisized, taking on the “israeli personality”, if you will, in how it conducts all its affairs.
