The 'logic is that of a child' is on your side. If he
really was so bad then how the EU leaders were going to
enter into the association agreement with him? Why did
not he order the police to disperse the protest rally
from the very beginning (as regularly do the Turkey's
leader, the French Hollande, the Saudis, and many other
beloved Western allies)? The police could easily do so
if there was an order. There was no such order because
the president wanted to be a 'true democrat'.

In 'the last' day, already after 100 people were killed,
a high American official said <http://tinyurl.com/o785fbm>:
"Our position is the President Yankukovych needs to
lead his country into a new future .." How could he say
that about a 'corrupt, murdering leader'?

The image of Yanukovich as a 'dictator' is entirely
artificial thing that the Western media began to create
from scratch in retaliation for his refusal to sign the
EU association agreement (because the agreement was not
economically profitable), and then 'finalized' him as
'murdering tyrant' after the coup, to create the false
appearance of 'the people against the dictator'.

There was no 'people against the dictator' in reality,
Yanukovich was not a dictator, all the democratic
institutions in the country were functional, but the
'peaceful protester' militants, egged by the Western
politicians, rejected any kind of compromise solution
while a huge part of society that did not support the
protest just expected the order will be restored soon.

Instead of that the Western 'mediators' coerced
demoralized Yankukovych to withdraw police from streets
(that allowed the militants to accomplish the coup
successfully) and then recognized the self-proclaimed
usurpers of democratic power as the 'new government'.

Is this the democracy and the rule of law?

No, this is utter and complete shit.

November 5, 2013

Ukraine signed a $10 billion shale gas production-sharing agreement with
U.S. oil giant Chevron on Tuesday, another step in a drive for energy
independence from Russia.

The deal to develop its western Olesska field followed a similar shale
gas agreement with Royal Dutch Shell in January and boosts Ukraine's
leadership at a time of fraught relations with Moscow over gas supplies.

"The agreements with Shell and Chevron ... will enable us to have full
sufficiency in gas by 2020 and, under an optimistic scenario, even
enable us to export energy," President Viktor Yanukovich told investors
shortly before the signing.

Ukrainian energy independence would make it more difficult for Russia to
exert pressure on Ukraine as well as the rest of Europe. In the winters
of 2006 and 2009 when Ukraine and Russia clashed over oil prices, Moscow
halted deliveries not only to Ukraine but to the rest of Europe.

Natural Resources Ministry said Friday it was concerned hydraulic
fracturing in neighboring Ukraine could pollute regional water supplies.

MOSCOW — Even as American and Russian diplomats groped toward a
settlement that would halt further Russian military intervention in
Ukraine, Gazprom, the Russian energy company, stepped up the economic
pressure on Tuesday by sharply raising the price it charges for natural
gas.

Gazprom, a state-controlled gas exporter, raised the price to $385 for
1,000 cubic meters of gas, the standard measure used in gas deals in
Europe, from $268, an increase of about 44 percent.

The price increase follows what analysts say is a long practice at
Gazprom of punitive pricing for countries in the former Soviet Union and
Eastern Europe that are at odds politically with Moscow, while offering
discounts to governments seen as friendly. The policy is never stated
openly, though, and the change on Tuesday was no exception.

while putin is clearly revealing himself as a bad neighbour....

it is the right of russia to sell energy for whatever it can get...
after all, like any backward country, they have little else to
offer beyond the exploitation of natural resources

but it is also the right of anyone else to attempt to get free
of their blackmail

further, it is unlikely the blackmail will last long in a world of
the mass oil exchange market...
putin is shooting russia in the foot...he is not some great leader
to be admired, he is simply a fool with mad dreams of yesterday..
...but primarily he was the problem of the russian people until
he started invading other democratic areas/countries....

one can but hope the pressures on him will grow until his
irresponsibility is curbed/mitigated


the governments of the west are like the unwise virgins...they
should never have allowed this dependency mess to develop...
clean safe nuclear power would solve the energy problems if only
western politicians would show some sense and guts...
it should have been put in places decades ago...


i might remind you that oil have been a major factor in wars for
over one century..
this dereliction of sense and duty, is no small potatoes...

Yes it's 'Russian' because there is Russia-friendly
population that democratically voted to join Russia.
It's not a stealing, while the usurpation of power by
the unelected freaks in Kiev is clearly a stealing.
Pathetic 'colonization' yelpings will not help you.

No intelligible response on that so far.

Meanwhile, in Kiev, the far right groups have thwart all-Ukrainian

judges. They threw the judges on the street out from the building of
Supreme Court. Witnesses say the far right militant activists spat on

There are massive rallies in Donetsk and other eastern areas, many
thousands of protesters demand referendum, and some regions stated

And the US/EU is *backing* these goose-steppers ...

Russia remembers the previous goose-steppers,
and how it cost them 20+ million people just to get
rid of the bastards.

Any wonder Putin decided to just take control of
Crimea (and soon the whole eastern edge of
Ukraine so he'll have a nice direct land route) ?

Those who organized the coup hoped to use these
guys, and then get rid of them. In reality it turned
out to be not so easy. Most part of them remains to
be armed, and they greatly affect Ukraine's domestic
affairs and policies. It seems they have captured
several enterprises by raiding. They blackmail public
figures they don't like and push their proteges.

In a country with quite functioning democracy 'the
majority group' has no need to arrange a coup while
there are the upcoming elections very soon.

KHERSON, Ukraine – Ukrainians in the Kherson province just north of
Crimea say Russian operatives have moved into the territory, an
incursion which, if true, could show Vladimir Putin has more than just
the Black Sea peninsula in his sights.

"Local residents confronted the men and asked them who they were, but
they refused to answer. We immediately suspected that they were from the
Russian Armed Forces," a Chonhar resident who asked that only his first
name, Anatoly, be used, told FoxNews.com.

There are probably Russian operatives AND local
operatives. That whole eastern slice is very much
ethnic Russian and doesn't want to be ruled by
the new jackboots in Kiev. So ... agitation, followed
by a referendum kinda like Crimeas. Putin wants a
straight land route to Crimea and the locals want
to get away from Kiev. Not one shot needs to be
fired.

Then comes the folk dancing.

No dancing at Obama Central though ... just a lot

The less Americans know about Ukraine’s location, the more they

About one in six (16 percent) Americans correctly located Ukraine,
clicking somewhere within its borders. Most thought that Ukraine
was located somewhere in Europe or Asia, but the median respondent
was about 1,800 miles off — roughly the distance from Chicago to Los
Angeles — locating Ukraine somewhere in an area bordered by Portugal
on the west, Sudan on the south, Kazakhstan on the east, and Finland
on the north. .. .. The further our respondents thought that Ukraine
was from its actual location, the more they wanted the U.S. to
intervene militarily. Even controlling for a series of demographic
characteristics and participants’ general foreign policy attitudes,
we found that the less accurate our participants were, the more they
wanted the U.S. to use force, the greater the threat they saw Russia
as posing to U.S. interests, and the more they thought that using
force would advance U.S. national security interests; all of these
effects are statistically significant at a 95 percent confidence
level. Our results are clear, but also somewhat disconcerting: The
less people know about where Ukraine is located on a map, the more
they want the U.S. to intervene militarily.

The more territory Putin munches, the closer we come to world war.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/vladimir-putin-wants-to-regain-finland-for-russia-adviser-says-9224273.html

After annexing Crimea and with troops massed on the border of Ukraine,
Vladimir Putin will not stop trying to expand Russia until he has
“conquered” Belarus, the Baltic states and Finland, one of his closest
former advisers has said.

According to Andrej Illarionov, the President’s chief economic adviser
from 2000 to 2005, Mr Putin seeks to create “historical justice” with a
return to the days of the last Tsar, Nicholas II, and the Soviet Union
under Stalin.

Speaking to the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet, Mr Illarionov
warned that Russia will argue that the granting of independence to
Finland in 1917 was an act of “treason against national interests”.

“Putin’s view is that he protects what belongs to him and his
predecessors,” Mr Illarionov said.

“Parts of Georgia, Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic States and Finland are
states where Putin claims to have ownership.

He's in there not for them, but to stop fracking so Russia can make more
money:


http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2013/11/5/ukraine-pens-10mshalegasbidwithusenergygiant.html

November 5, 2013

Ukraine signed a $10 billion shale gas production-sharing agreement with
U.S. oil giant Chevron on Tuesday, another step in a drive for energy
independence from Russia.

The deal to develop its western Olesska field followed a similar shale
gas agreement with Royal Dutch Shell in January and boosts Ukraine's
leadership at a time of fraught relations with Moscow over gas supplies.

Right now they don't see that angle, and/or don't

jackboots taking over in Kiev - and the nasties
they can and will inflict on the ethnic Russians.

So, they'll run to mother Russia.

Oh, and now being Russian, they'll get THEIR gas

get a cut.

Win/win.

Here is a nice picture that illustrates the Ukrainian issues
<http://tinyurl.com/nwfy26d>, and reflects the complex history
and different parts within the modern Ukraine.

In the 13 century, as the result of the Mongol invasion, most
part of the Kievan Rus, including lands of the future Ukraine,
fell into vassalage to the Golden Horde. The strong dependence
on the Horde was actually ceased in the 14th century, though the
vassalage to certain extent persisted until the 15th century.
Since the time, ie. the 14 century, the north-eastern lands of
former Kievan Rus began to take shape of independent Russian
state dominated by Moscow, while the western areas of the former
Rus were taken by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania associated with
the Poland. That was later transformed to the Polish-Lithuanian
Commonwealth, under Polish domination.

Ukraine as such is, in a nutshell, southern part of the Russian
lands that spent considerable time of their history under the
Polish rule (and the northern part is what's called Belarus now).

In the 15 and the early 16 centuries the Polish rulers pursued
colonial policies of massive 'polonization' against the Russian
population within Poland (that's the main cause of language and
culture differences between the modern Ukrainians and Russians).
These policies caused the Khmelnitsky uprising. The central pink
area corresponds to what was separated from Poland after the
uprising ('the Cossack Hetmanate' - here it's from another angle
<http://is.gd/GBgS0V>), and then came to Moscow vassalage, and
then was included into Russian empire.

The areas west of it include lands 'reclaimed' from Poland later
by the Russian tsarist army, at different times in the 17 - 19
centuries. The most western areas were 'reclaimed' from Austria-
Hungary, Romania, and Poland by the Soviet army during WW2. They
were eventually appended to the Soviet republic of Ukraine.

Several areas in the south are the territories that were taken
by the Russian tsarist army in a few wars with the Ottoman empire
in 18-19 centuries, they never had anything to do with Ukraine.

The teal area in the east was within Moscow tsardom since about
the 16 century, and it also had nothing to do with Ukraine until
the 20th century.

These areas (the east and south) were appended to the territory
of the Soviet republic of Ukraine in the 1920s. It was sort of
'perverse' affirmative action by the Bolshevist rulers when they
created the Soviet Union. The last similar thing was attaching
of Crimea to Ukraine in the 1950s.

So, is Ukraine actually Russia or just a predominantly
Russian-speaking but culturally distinct country unto
itself ? If distinct, how MUCH of todays Ukraine should
really be considered "Ukraine" and how much "Russia" ?
These factors play into the propaganda side of the
current situation.

On the realpolitik side, Russia needs back at least part of
what's now called Ukraine for security and trade reasons
and has the power and will to get it and keep it whether
there are any "good" excuses or not. No outsiders seem
to be all that interested in doing anything about it beyond
a few "symbolic" measures that'll fade away after awhile.

IMHO, so long as the western oil companies can get
access to and profit from most of the goodies under
Ukraine, they will be happy. That's why they engineered
the coup. I'm not sure about oil/gas reserves under the
eastern slice of Ukraine that Russia wants ... maybe
there aren't enough to be worth a more intense
confrontation with Russia.

Hmmm ... don't the Israelis claim something like
"historical justice" every time they grab more
territory ? Apparently every country has a right
to expand to whatever it's largest borders EVER
were. Since we go along with Israel on this then
I guess we'll have to go along with Putin, right ? :-)

Too long ago ... Finland has definitely become a
culturally-distinct and well-established nation. We
can't really say the same of Ukraine. It's been more
of a "region" - of Russia/USSR - for a very long
time and clearly a hell of a lot of people there still
say they're Russians. Culturally, historically,
Ukraine is Russia. It's be in Putins interests
however to leave the western half alone.

The Baltics are a mixed situation ... historically
they spent a lot of time as "part of Russia" BUT
they never culturally assimmilated.

Actually, Hitler DID make up excuses ... at least
early on. The Sudetenland, Chechoslovakia,
Austria ... all "traditional parts of Germany" and
full of Germanic people. He was simply re-uniting
everybody.

Poland ... poor Poland .... it got invaded mostly
because it was between Hitler and one of his
dreampt-of great prizes, Russia. Seems Poland
is often "in the middle" of every conquerors
campaign and gets squashed over and over.

Anyway, by Poland Hitler didn't feel he NEEDED
excuses anymore. Easy victory goes to ones head.

Putin isn't a meglomaniac, he's a hard-assed
calculating don't-fuck-with-me kind of guy. I've
no doubt he'd already scripted everything that
did and is gonna happen in Ukraine well in
advance - and everything NATO would/could
do about it. However he lacks the swagger
and magnetic personality of a true meglomaniac ...
something that was easy to see in Hitler and
Mussolini and to some extent in Stalin. Putin is
a technical dictator, Big Brother material, not
a Hitler.

Which is good because we'll see some reason.
Meglomaniacs can't be bothered with that, they
think they're gods.

Russian military drills near neighboring Finland have provoked concern
that northern Europe may be the next focus of Moscow's seemingly renewed
appetite for redrawing its borders.

Troops and jet fighters from all four military regions of Russia were
deployed Sunday about 150 miles east of the Finnish border, according to
the English-language newspaper Finnbay. The Russian defense ministry
said in a statement that the exercises were pre-planned and that more
than 50 fighter pilots took part.

.. Tell me who and where followed the CONSTITUTIONAL procedure to
impeach Yanukovich?
1. They had to form an investigation commission (simple majority)
2. Then the Commission decides if he is guilty or not (2/3 voices
of the members)
3. Constitutional Court and the High Court must verify if the
procedure has been fully complied with, and then they render their
decision for a vote in the Parliament.
4. Final decision is made with 3/4 of voices, which is 338 and
they only had 328. Even after they woted for MPs of their fractions
who were absent, which is illegal.
There was no Commission.
He was not charged.
Constitutional Court has been disbanded.
There was no legitimate vote.
Conclusion: Ukraine is run by a coup and US/EU support a criminal
gang.

Mr. B1ack, <news:qcv7k958jvbr3vvme...@4ax.com>
The 'true Ukraine' - i.e. the post-polonized descendants of
the ancient Kievan Rus - is the west, and partly the center
of the modern Ukraine, and the (rather weak) 'Ukrainness' of
the east and south is mainly the result of 'ukrainization'
of these regions during the (post-)Soviet times.

The delicate thing about the Ukrainian identity is, there
was no such identity (nor recognized language) before the
19th century. The Russians living within Poland considered
themselves (and were considered by the Poles) the (non-
muscovite) Russians, while the Russians under Moscow rule
were differed as 'the Muscovites'. On this map of Poland of
the 17 century <http://is.gd/GBgS0V> one can see 'Ruskie'
(the 'Russian District' in then Poland) right around Lviv,
the today's core of the west-Ukrainian nationalism.

Since the late 18 century the Russians living in the former
Poland-governed regions within Russian empire began to
notice their cultural differences from 'the Muscovites', and
the nationalist sentiments aroused. The authorities of
imperial Russia tried to contain that. But the Bolshevist
policies after the 1917 revolt were the opposite, after the
revolt the Bolsheviks greatly supported nationalist movements
in the former Russian empire in exchange for loyalty to the
Soviet power. Thus the present-day Ukrainian nation, grown
within the Soviet republic of Ukraine, is the final product
mainly of the Soviet social engineering.

The Russians, in average, feel positive towards Ukrainian
identity. For example, the Ukrainian folk and pop singers etc
are popular in Russia, and public sincerely loves this stuff.
What the Russians don't like is the zeal of the west-Ukrainian
nationalists to maintain the Ukrainian identity on the basis
of hostile opposition to Russia. Here is the situation when
the ordinary people feel closer kinship, but the nationalist
politicians and masterminds are jealous of that, and they try
to deliberately denigrate and demonize 'the Muscovites', to
artificially incite hatred. This is not against the 'Putin
regime', the west-Ukrainian nationalism, in its current form,
clearly promotes ethnic hatred. Meanwhile, a lot of people of
the Ukrainian and Belorussian ancestry are living in Russia.
Most of them consider themselves Russians, as well as other
Russians consider them Russians, though their roots may be
easy visible by Ukrainian / Belorussian surnames (-enko(v),
-yuk, -yak) and some other attributes. That's in lesser extent
true for the Poles as well, there are quite many Russians of
the Polish ancestry in the present-day Russia; eg. the surname
endings like -vsky or -tsky, or -ich most often point to the
Polish (or Polish Jewish) origin. By my rough estimation
about 15 - 30% of the current Russian population are those
whose ancestors more or less long ago came from the lands of
the present day Ukraine, Belarus, and Poland.

The fact that the West didn't scruple to take part in these
rather ugly ultra-nationalist affairs in Ukraine shows that
the Western politicians share anti-Russian agenda in the
ethnic sense as well; they do camouflage it more skillfully
in comparison to Hitler though.

Apparent Russian troops moved north of the Crimean border and into
Ukraine proper last week, locals told Fox News. Residents of Chonhar, a
small village just north of the peninsula, say the troops showed up last
week before being driven out and may have planted landmines.

The Russian troops refused to say who they were when confronted by
Chonhar residents, continuing the bizarre denial policy of Russia.
Ukrainian troops showed up and there was a standoff. The Russians pulled
back across the border and set up a checkpoint along one of Crimea's
major roadways to the regional capital, Simferopol, according to the report.

Kiev's junta sends several hundred of the 'national guard' troops
(ie. a part of the Right Sector's militants was 'legalized' in
form of 'national guard' after the coup) to suppress Sloviansk.

Also, the junta has just announced that they have decided to use
on a large scale the regular army against the people that are not
happy with the new order.

According to reports, a large part of local police units in many
cities of the east and south supports the protesters that refuse
to recognize the junta and demand referendum and federalization.

When you say "the people that are not happy with the new order," you're

No, I'm talking about people of Ukraine.

Although, since they're out of uniform, I suppose they could be treated

You maybe just don't realize how much your media are lying.

Former Vladimir Putin's adviser Andrei Illarionov, expressed a similar
conviction to Ukraine's Gordon.ua news website.

“I have to stress, this is an intervention, an insurgency of Russian
special forces, not a separatist riot on the territory of Ukraine. If
the problem is not solved within three days, the territories of Ukraine
will be lost,” said Illarionov.

Russian forces are laying landmines meant to cordon off Crimea from the
rest of Ukraine, according to various sources.



Alexei Mazepa, the regional spokesman for Ukraine’s Defense Ministry,
told the Los Angeles Times that Russian forces are “setting up
minefields across the narrow strip of land that connects Ukraine with
Crimea” in what appears to be an attempt to prevent Ukrainian troops
from entering the region.



Citing reports from the region’s media, TOL contributor Halya Coynash
writes that troops have planted mines in the Kherson region on Ukraine’s
mainland just north of Crimea.



Russian troops wearing unmarked uniforms were seen planting land mines
near the town of Chongar, which has a population of about 1,500 people.
Journalists there report that while no soldiers have entered the town,
they have established military camps close by, Coynash writes.



A school located close to the Russian outposts told parents to keep
children at home last week.



Military equipment has been in place near the town since 27 February,
according to Coynash.



Ukraine is a member of the UN convention banning anti-personnel
landmines, while Russia is not.
