PUTIN IS PISSED

Obama, NATO and their puppet in Kiev are starting to piss Putin off. I hope Europeans have extra warm coats and plenty of blankets and firewood. Mr. Putin does have some cards to play. Who would you bet on in a game of poker? Putin or Obama?

Putin Slams Ukraine Decision To Cut-Off Gas To East As “Genocidal”

Tyler Durden's picture

Ukrainian authorities decision to halt gas supplies to Donetsk amid the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe occurring there “bear the hallmarks of genocide,” blasted Russia’s Vladimir Putin during an awkward press conference with Cyprus’ President Nicos Anastasiades (who he had just agreed bilateral military and trade deals with). “Apparently, some responsible leaders of the modern-day Ukraine are unable to understand the importance of humanitarian issues,” Sputnik News reports Putin concluded. In an attempt to gain leverage and force Ukraine’s hand however, Russia’s Gazprom has indicated it intends to suspend gas deliveries to Ukraine (and thus Europe via pipelines) unless Kiev makes a further prepayment.

 

Amid the cease-less-fire, Vladimir Putin is displeased…

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday the decision of the Ukrainian authorities to halt gas supplies to Donetsk amid the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe “bear hallmarks of genocide”.

 

“As if hunger [in Donetsk and Luhansk] was not enough – the OSCE has already stated that the region is experiencing a humanitarian catastrophe –  they had their gas supplies cut off. What would you call it? I would say this bears the hallmarks of genocide,” he said during a meeting with President of Cyprus Nicos Anastasiades.

 

“Apparently, some responsible leaders of the modern-day Ukraine are unable to understand the importance of humanitarian issues. It seems that the very notion of humanism has been forgotten,” he added.

And, in apparently unconnected news, Russia intends to suspend gas deliveries to Ukraine unless Kiev makes a further prepayment as its current balance only covers three or four days’ gas supply, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday…

“Prepayments, made by Ukrainian side, are enough for three – four days. If [further] payment is not made, Gazprom, in compliance with this contract, will halt the [gas] supplies,” Putin said at a press conference.

 

“Naturally, it may create a certain threat for the transit to Europe,” Putin added.

 

Ukraine’s state energy company Naftogaz on Monday accused Russia’s Gazprom of failing to deliver the gas for which Kiev had prepaid.

 

According to a statement by the company’s press service, Gazprom was to deliver 114 cubic meters both on February 22 and February 23 but supplied only 47 and 39 million cubic meters on these dates instead, respectively.

 

On Tuesday, Gazprom head Alexei Miller, in turn, said that the amount of gas prepaid by Ukraine was estimated at 219 million cubic meters, enough for a couple of days only.

 

Kiev’s massive gas debt, exceeding $5 billion at the time, forced Moscow to suspend gas deliveries to Ukraine for nearly six months in 2014. Deliveries resumed in early December under the so-called winter package deal, mediated by the European Union and signed by Gazprom and Naftogaz. The deal stipulated that Ukraine must pay Russia in advance for all future gas supplies.

So, in summary, as UAH crashes into hyperinflation, the IMF (and US taxpayers’) funds will be merely a direct funds transfer from the West to Russia (for gas supply services rendered) and Putin take the ‘eye for an eye’ analogy one step further – cut off supply to Donetsk and we cut off supply to everyone…

“Not one person will explain to me how Russia would beat the United States in the air facing an overwhelming number of aircraft.” ———– Sensetti

1) Warfare is MUCH more than just statistical numbers. A huge part is MOTIVATION and THE WILL to fight … including the capacity to accept LOSSES. Americans simply cannot accept massive losses, anywhere. The Russkies have us beat hands down re; Motivation, Will, and Losses.

2) It also depends WHERE this war will be fought. If it’s a conventional war on American soil, then the Russians are toast.

3) Likewise, if on Russian soil, America is toast. I believe Russia has NINE time zones. Those 13,894 couldn’t hold diddly squat! The supply logistics are overwhelmingly daunting. And don’t forget Russian winters … like the Germans did … like Napolean did. Russia is a graveyard of Empires.

4) Regarding those 13,894 aircraft … what? … you don’t think the Russians have anti-aircraft batteries and missiles? They have, in fact, some of the most advanced anti-aircraft wizardry in the world. American airplanes cost tens of millions of dollars each … anti-aircraft missiles cost a fraction of that … and they have thousands.

5) You never answered the question. How does our military might compare to Iraq or Afghanistan? Bush and Oreo said we “won” those wars. Did we? Why have we spent a Trillion dollars in the past decade … yet they are still alive and kicking?

6) In summary, you place waaaaay to much emphasis on raw numbers … as if war is fought with a spreadsheet, and if A is greater than B, then A “wins”. It just doesn’t work that way.

Interesting to note that “Down Under”, neither the Russian earlier-than-expected development of an alternative to the SWIFT system, and / or the announcement of a Development Bank, have seen ANY mention in our MSM.

Plenty of front-page stuff about “Russian Tanks in Ukraine” though, which seems par for the course in today’s Media – “just following the Party Line” being their modus operandi.
