What is Happening in the Ukraine right now...

[Vngelis]

What is happening in Ukraine right now? An in-deep analysis by the already legendary blogger the "Saker". ///// "Tectonic shifts are continuing to occur in the political landscape of the Ukraine. Last week, following the imposition of a total blockade against Novorussia by the “Ukronazis” [Kiev regime], Russia declared that she will from now on recognize the official documents emitted by the DNR and LNR authorities. This week, the Novorussian authorities have nationalized all the key factories of the Donbass. Furthermore, the Novorussians have now declared that since the Ukrainian authorities are not willing to purchase their coal and anthracite they will from now on export them to Russia. And just to make sure that they cover all their bases, the Novorussians have also declared that from now on only the Russian Ruble will be circulating in the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics.
Not to be undone, the Kiev Regime has also taken a highly significant step: the Ukrainian Prime Minister has declared that he thinks that the irregular forces currently enforcing the blockade should be considered official border guards (as for these soon to be “border guards”, they have explained that for their main border post shall be called “nightingale” in honor of the Nachtigall battalion of the Nazi Abwehr).
Let’s sum all this up:
The “Urkonazis” [Kiev regime] completely close down the unofficial border with Novorussia
Russia recognizes Novorussian documents
The DNR and LNR nationalize all the Ukrainian industry in the Donbass
The “Ukronazis” declare that the line of contact is now to be considered a border
The Novorussians declare that the Russian Ruble is the only legal currency in Novorussia
The Novorussians will now export their entire production of coal/anthracite to Russia
All the factories in Novorussia will no longer pay taxes to Kiev
I don’t know about you – but to me this sure looks like the DNR and LNR are cutting off their last ties to the Ukraine and the the junta in Kiev appears to go along with this plan.
In reality, this is all much more complicated. There is a covert war going on between the Ukrainian oligarchs Rinat Akhmetov, Igor Kolomoiskii and President Poroshensko and there is also a not so covert war taking place between the Ukronazi opposition and Poroshenko. There are also many unanswered questions left, including how and if the Novorussians will sell their production of coal and anthracite either to Russia (which Russia really doesn’t need) or through Russia (possibly concealing its real origin). This situation also begs the question of what the Russian banks will be able and willing to do to help the Novorussians. The sums of money involved are huge and there are many, often mutually exclusive, interests competing against each other. But I won’t dwell on that level right now – what is most important to me is the big picture and that big picture says “good-bye Ukraine”.
One can judge the seriousness of these developments by the truly Herculean efforts made by the western corporate media not to notice them. Even the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Boris Johnson, who was in Kiev yesterday, was focusing exclusively on the upcoming Eurovision competition, and not on the dramatic developments taking place in the southeast.
In the Ukrainian context, the expression “never say never” is probably even more important than usual, but I will say that if what I think is happening is really happening, that is, if the Donbass is now de-facto cutting its last ties with the Ukraine and integrating with Russia politically and economically, and if the junta in Kiev appears to have been unable to prevent the Nazi volunteers from triggering this crisis with their blockade, then this potentially means to very important things:
The Kiev Regime has given up on the concept of reconquering Novorussia.
The breakup of the rump-Ukraine has begun.
The blockade of the Donbass was decided by a rather small group of nationalist leaders who never asked for nor received any authorization for their actions from the junta in Kiev. Furthermore, the junta in Kiev never officially endorsed or even supported that move. But most amazingly, the junta never sent any kind of official police/military/security force to regain control of the situation. There was a group of men who, armed with sticks and baseball bats, tried to remove the Ukronazi crazies from the tracks, but they were quickly beaten back. Keep in mind that there are tens of thousands of soldiers and policemen deployed in the immediate vicinity of these volunteer units, but nobody, absolutely nobody has made a move to restore law and order.
Of course, the very notion of “law and order” is largely meaningless in a country occupied by a regime which itself is totally illegal. Furthermore, “law and order” are also meaningless in a country where might – usually in the form of a gang of thugs with Kalashnikovs – makes right. Forget “central Europe” – think “Somalia” and you will be much closer to the truth.
The Ukraine is a failed state, politically and economically. And, as a failed state, the Ukraine has plenty of armed gangs and even official armed forces, but nothing like the kind of modern and civilized military you need to take on the Novorussians who, far from being a failed state, are a young state which has just completed the modernization of its armed forces. The difference between the Ukrainian and the Novorussian armed forces is not just the result of Russian help, although they clearly played a major role, but the fact of the Novorussians having a capable fighting force has been a matter for survival from day 1, whereas for the junta this has never been a priority simply because there never was a military threat to the junta’s power. Bean-counters will tell me that the Ukrainian forces are about 2x to 3x larger, which is quite true. It is also irrelevant. What matters is whether they can mount modern, combined arms operations and that is something that the Ukrainian military does not seem to be capable of.
What we are seeing today is not just a Ukrainian military which seems to have given up on the notion of reconquering Novorussia, it is also one which appears to be giving up on the notion of holding the country together. Right now, this is only affecting the Donbass, but pretty soon other regions are likely to follow suit, especially the south (Odessa, Nikolaev, Mariupol) which, by itself, could be wealthy and prosperous and which has no need whatsoever for Neo-Nazi rulers. There are even some separatist movements in the western Ukraine who want to get rid of all the pseudo-Ukrainian “ballast” and build a “pure” Ukrainian state in the only place where such a state has real historical roots: on the border with Poland.
This all begs the question of the future of Poroshenko and here your guess is as good as mine. The only thing that has kept him in power so long is the support from the US and EU, but with the crises (plural) surrounding the Trump administration and the political uncertainty in Europe, there is only so long that Poroshenko can use his western mentors as the base for his power. Sooner or later, somebody somewhere in the Ukraine (my guess is in Odessa) will figure out that the local power configuration is far more important to him/her than what the western politicians have to say. Again, Somalia is the example to keep in mind: for a while the western powers also had a great deal of influence there, but only until that power was successfully challenged and then everybody declared victory and fled.
Needless to say, the Minsk Agreements are as far from being implemented as ever. For Washington and its allies that is enough of a justification to continue to blame Russia for it all. That will continue until the Ukraine finally implodes at which point the real negotiation will be “who will pays for the mess?” and Russia will probably declare that she is primarily responsible for the Donbass leaving the rest of the mess for the Europeans who, unlike the Americans, will have no choice but to pay. But that is still far in the future. Right now the question is how long can the agony of the Nazi Ukrainian regime last?
Alexander Zakharchenko predicted yesterday that the Ukrainian state would collapse within 60 days. Maybe. My personal gut feeling is that this might take quite a bit longer, especially considering the inertia of such a large country. We should also never discount a possible large-scale Ukronazi attack on Novorussia for no other reason than an expression of blind and dumb hatred. Should that happen the goal of the Novorussians will be to free the parts of the Lugansk and Donetsk regions which are still under Nazi occupation. This might be difficult – the Ukrainians have been fortifying their defenses for many months now – but I expect them to eventually succeed. At which point the West will blame Russia again (what else is new?).
Irrespective of how long this agony will last, there is no doubt in my mind that it has begun and that it is irreversible. It is actually quite remarkable that it took so long to bring about this last phase. For many months already we had many minor indicators and signs that thing were not going well, but with the de-facto separation of the Donbass and its gradual integration into the Russian economy we are witnessing a qualitatively new phase in the disintegration process of the Ukraine. #gonzoblogger

This is of considerable important. It's the first mass unequivocally leftist resistance (the vote for SYRIZA wasn't really that) to a Neo-Con sooled on State Dept aggression we've yet seen. Interesting where it's happening.

The VOTE for SYRIZA (in part) was, but the OUTCOME wasn't. Here we have mass action on the ground. It's like a genuine Soviet, only against an occupying force vs an oppressive national government.

These people have class, national pride. America is far too vulnerable to ethnic takeover because its founders made it a liberal proposition nation, without enough attention to the overwhelming European racial foundation:

Gyorgy Schwartz: The man behind the mess in Ukraine

By Pete Papaherakles

Anyone following the Ukrainian crisis in the reality-warping media comes away with this impression: The Ukrainian people, desperate for Western-style democracy, rose up and rebelled against their authoritarian president, Viktor Fedorovych Yanukovych. Russia then invaded the Crimea in order to keep Ukraine under its iron grip.

The reality, however, is far from the spin peddled by the mainstream media and its globalist backers. The rebellion in Ukraine was orchestrated by Western bankers as part of a vicious chess game that pits Washington against Moscow. Russian President Vladimir Putin did not invade Crimea, and in a referendum voted on March 16, 97% of Crimeans asked to be allowed to join Russia.

Ukraine has always been an integral part of Russia, until it won its independence from the Soviet Union on August 24, 1991. Its capital, Kiev, founded 482, was Russia’s first capital since 882, and the heart of Russian Orthodox Christianity, of equal cultural importance to Russians as Moscow and St. Petersburg.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990, Trilateral Commission (TC) founder Zbigniew Brzezinski pointed out that Ukraine was a key nation of geopolitical importance that had to be removed from Russia’s grasp and brought into the sphere of the European Union (EU), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the United States, at all costs. A vicious chess game has been taking place since then between Washington and Moscow.

The main player in this global game has been Jewish Hungarian billionaire George Soros, whose real name is György Schwartz. Ranked as the 22nd richest man in the world—worth over $20 billion—Soros is the most influential leftist globalist on the planet and the public face of the Rothschild family banking dynasty. As his biggest campaign contributor, Soros is primarily responsible for putting Barack Hussein Obama in the White House in 2008.




“If there was ever a man who would fit the stereotype of the Judeo-plutocratic Bolshevik Zionist world conspirator, it is me,” Soros allegedly told, with tongue in cheek, the Sydney Morning Herald during an interview published on November 15, 1997. He even received the “Globalist of the Year Award” from the Canadian International Council in 2010.

The twin foundations of Soros’s empire are to be found in two offices in central Manhattan. One is Soros Fund Management LLC, which manages hedge funds with $18 billion in assets. A few blocks away is the headquarters of the Soros “philanthropic” network, operating under the name Open Society Foundations (OSF).

Soros has made billions by currency manipulations in several countries. He made his first billion in 1992 as the man who broke the Bank of England and then went on to pillage the economies of Russia, Malaysia, Thailand and others, raking in many more billions in the process.

Between 1979 and 2011, Soros also gave away over $8 billion to causes allegedly related to human rights, public health and education.

But although Soros carefully cultivates a Robin Hood image, he can better be characterized as “the man who sold the world.” Calling himself a philanthropist, Soros’s role is to tighten the ideological stranglehold of globalization and the New World Order while pursuing his own financial gain.

By his own admission, he helped engineer coups in Slovakia and Croatia, and was the prime instigator behind the wars in Yugoslavia and helped kick off the Rose Revolution in Georgia. When Soros targets a country for “regime change,” he begins by creating a shadow government ready to assume power when the opportunity arises.

As he has done in dozens of other nations, especially in Eastern Europe over the past two decades, Soros has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Ukrainian non-governmental organizations (NGOs), ostensibly to assist them in transforming their country into a more “open” and “democratic” society.

Just one of his OSF entities, the International Renaissance Foundation (IRF), has funneled over $100 million to Ukrainian NGOs, community groups, academic and cultural institutions and publishing houses from 1990 to 2010.

In 2012 alone the IRF provided $63 million, more than any other donor organization in cash-starved Ukraine, thus seducing and co-opting all legitimate political opposition into the Soros-approved “progressive” camp.

The IRF website makes clear that the Soros funds are targeted at promoting Ukrainian “partnership” with and “integration” into the EU.

Project Syndicate is another part of Soros’s OSF, dominant in Ukraine, that has a network of nearly 500 newspapers in more than 150 countries with worldwide circulation of over 70 million copies, comprising the largest syndication of independent commentators in the world.

But the greatest power Soros has is that he is a leading member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg, TC and every other globalist organization, where he exerts decisive power in directing the entire New World Order apparatus.

Soros was instrumental in exploiting Ukraine’s privatization process in the 1990s to bring Jewish oligarchs into power like in Boris Yeltsin’s Russia.

Yanukovych was first elected prime minister in 2004, but Soros orchestrated a public outcry called the “Orange Revolution,” which instead brought to power pro-EU politicians Viktor Yushchenko and Yulia Tymoshenko. He was elected president again in 2010 in a decisive election observed by 22 countries.

The “Euromaidan” protests started in November 2013, only because Yanukovych refused to sign an association agreement with the EU, choosing instead to pursue a Russian loan bailout and closer ties with Russia.

Fueled by Soros’s money and political influence, protests in late 2013 became more violent and finally led to Yanukovych fleeing to Russia on February 21.

Since then, Soros and his Project Syndicate have been flooding the global media with anti-Putin propaganda, while the Hungarian Jew’s puppets like Obama, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, John McCain and mouthpieces like The New York Times, The Washington Post and CNN, have been insisting that Ukraine make its own choices, but the only acceptable choice for them is for Ukraine to choose the EU.

This is by far the best, most integrated, exposure of Soros I've seen. There will also be a more detailed follow-up article...
