Foreign Review, Situation in Ukraine - Who Is to Blame and What to Do!
To the West of Kiev
Jim Dean, editor of Veterans Today magazine
In politics, as in religion, it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. In both cases, heresies are seldom cured by persecution. Alexander Hamilton, 1788
Residents of South-East Ukraine declared that they choose freedom… freedom not controlled by the West.
“All of them now seem to be thinking about how to get out of the chaos they themselves created.”
And we, understanding everything, just sat and watched it all in TV replay mode. We watched as the train slowly wrecked. We knew the catastrophe would happen, but we couldn’t do anything to prevent it. That is why Kiev and its patrons did everything possible to discredit the East of the country.
We watched as Western leaders literally buried themselves: the heaviest disgrace fell, of course, on Obama, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate. The EU, in turn, is in shock and denies the results of the referendum, thereby further disgracing itself.
All of them now seem to be thinking about how to get out of the chaos they themselves created.
The Ukrainian gambit could lead to unprecedented negative consequences for the leaders. If Europeans were smart, they would see what their governments really are… It is the European version of Kiev, which ignorantly demonizes its largest partner – Russia.
Europe needs to do a thorough housecleaning at home. The European Parliament elections on May 22–25 are an ideal time to change the old order and prevent the threat of disintegration: the EU must not follow the path of Kiev, which lost the Donetsk, Lugansk regions and Crimea.
We watched as Western media wrapped up a fake campaign about Iran’s nuclear weapons and switched to Russia, portraying it in their pages as an aggressor.
Funny, if it weren’t so sad. 150,000 corpses in Syria – that is not funny at all, and neither the UN nor The Hague did anything to impose sanctions against the numerous players involved in these acts of terror: the US, Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar went unpunished.

Back to Kiev. The US and EU thought they had pulled Putin into the quicksand of Ukraine, and then hoped to use terrorists, like they used, for example, in Syria. It is clear that Eastern Ukraine is defenseless against them. We did not see man-portable air defense systems in the East; instead, there were a few RPGs. I did not see a single .50 caliber machine gun. Instead, we found unarmed civilians in villages and a few armed militiamen who are supposedly attacking Kiev’s “anti-terrorist troops.”
After the referendum has passed, one can assert that there will be car bombs, machine guns, attacks like in Odessa, assaults on the population. All these actions will be aimed at ensuring that the East cannot provide for its own security and would turn to the Russians for help.
From my sources, all militants and mercenaries are now thrown into the South-East to create chaos. The CIA has a lot of experience in organizing chaos through third parties.
Saudi Arabia is the main supplier of foreign terrorist brigades, embittered at Russia, which did not allow them to seize Syria and gain access to a pipeline to the Mediterranean Sea in order to hinder the export of Russian energy resources to Europe.
All these wars and regime changes are a war of elites who want to become even richer and grab their piece of the pie from corrupt politicians.
But the Russians did not fall for the bait of “taking Eastern Ukraine.” They knew that as soon as the referendum passed, Western leaders would deny its results and read morals with a pistol in hand.

Therefore the insurgents received worldwide support very quickly. Thus, a UN representative stated that the question of recognizing the independence of the eastern regions of Ukraine would be decided by the member states of the General Assembly. The Western masters of coups will no longer have complete freedom of action. They don’t know it, but everyone is really tired of their endless lies. People are finally waking up and coming to understand that transnational security bodies can use force against us when needed. The next step on the path to sanity should be the participation of the new independent regions in negotiations. If Kiev intends to continue conducting “anti-terrorist” actions that lead to the death of Ukrainians on both sides, it will divide the country out of its own stupidity. Eastern Ukraine will likely boycott the elections in Kiev.
During the struggle for a seat in the European Parliament, they will inevitably start looking for those responsible for this conflict. There is internal opposition in the EU, including within the business community: it is starting to raise its voice and declare the stupidity of sanctions as a tool of pressure on Russia.
The Germans have kicked up a fuss, and France recently turned down Victoria Nuland’s demand to cancel the $1.6 billion deal to build two Mistral-class warships for Russia. Thousands of French workers are employed at these shipyards. And yes, France would have faced hefty fines for breach of contract.
Western governments are trying to reassure business: they say sanctions won’t lead to Russian reprisals. And the more they try to soothe business, the angrier their voters will become.
The Russians cannot allow Kiev to dictate the price they pay for gas. Otherwise, all penalties and contracts would be meaningless. While Western media claim the gas crisis was provoked by Russian extortion, every businessman and official knows it’s really a breach-of-contract issue that can easily be settled in court.
After all, nobody believes Kiev makes all its decisions without approval from the US and the EU. Their voters are not as foolish as Victoria Nuland thinks. Trust me, people will easily figure out who is to blame for their troubles.

We are all East Ukrainians now
Column: Politics
Region: Ukraine in the world
“In politics, as in religion, it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be cured by persecution.” –Alexander Hamilton, 1788
Well, it is over. The people of East Ukraine have spoken and they have chosen freedom…freedom from being ruled over by a foreign-backed Western coup for its own selfish goals. The honor of carrying the symbolic torch of universal freedom now passes from America’s hands to these East Ukrainians, a tragic dishonor for the disenfranchised America people who had nothing to do with this.
We have sat by and watched all this like a slow-motion train wreck in a Twilight Zone TV show rerun, where we know what is about to happen but there is nothing we can do to prevent it. Here is why Kiev and its backers did everything they could to smear, threatened and terrorize the East into submission. With voter turnout in the 75% to 80% range, the polls in favor of independence ranged from 90% to 96%.
Any pretense to Western democratic values is a dead man walking. We have watched Western leaders literally bury themselves in vain, and the most shame goes to the Nobel Peace Prize winner, the first to get it for doing nothing, and hopefully the last. The EU, still in shock and denial, claims they don’t recognize these referenda, bringing even more shame on themselves.
All they seem to be thinking now is how to extricate themselves out of the mess they created. Their Ukraine gambit could backfire on them much worse than they ever expected. If Europeans were smart, they would see their leadership for what it really is… a European-version Kiev that cluelessly demonizes their Russian trading partner with whom they have a $110 surplus, at a time where every job and export-Euro is not a luxury but critically necessary. How stupid is that?
Europe needs a major house-cleaning, just like Kiev does. With the EU Parliament elections coming up May 22-25th, it is perfect timing to dump as much of the old order as possible, and start rolling back the threat that the European Union has become to the people of its member states, with distant rulers who have as much concern for their people as Kiev does for Donestk, Luhansk and Crimea.
We have watched the controlled western media back the Western move to replace the phony Iran nuclear weapons hoax with the new “Russians are preparing to invade us.” If it weren’t so sad, it would be funny. The 150,000 dead in Syria are not funny at all, and neither has the UN or ICC done anything to sanction the many players involved in State-sponsored terrorism. I can name the US, Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
Left out of the Western coverage of the Crimea transfer is how Russia had prepaid billions on advanced rents for their base there. The former government they made that deal with was violently overthrown with western backing, and was a government that was financially broke, owing billions in gas pipeline payments and refusing to acknowledge the penalty clauses in the agreement, in effect telling the Russians what price they would pay.
The case law on international breach of contract is pretty predictable. You have to pay. And no, Russia was not about to leave its important naval base, not only to the Black Sea but the Mediterranean, within artillery range of a nationalist, fascist coup-government. There is not a single Western government that would not have done the same thing. It would have been lunacy not to. But East Ukraine was a different situation.
The US and EU thought they were sucking Putin into the quicksand of Ukraine, where it was a no lose deal for them because they could use proxy terror troops like they have in Syria. East Ukraine is basically defenseless against them. We saw no MANPADS engaging Kiev’s armored columns, just a few RPGs. I have not seen one 50-cal machine gun, and nothing to indicate the Russians had provided weapons depots to use when they were attacked. Instead we saw a lot of unarmed civilians in the village checkpoints with a few armed militia being attacked by Kiev’s “anti-terror” forces.
Civilians are trying to stop Kiev’s “anti-terrorist” forces
Once these referenda groups begin running their own states, we can expect to see car bombings, IEDs, and more false-flag attacks as in Odessa to make the East look completely unable to provide security and to lure the Russians coming in to help. Our Intel sources inform us that all the unemployed regional terrorists are being rounded up for East Ukraine work to create havoc for these brave East Ukrainian citizens. Our CIA has had a lot of experience doing this kind of work through third parties.
The Saudis are the main organizer for the foreign terror brigades, motivated out of their unhappiness with Russia denying them their takeover of Syria so they could get their pipeline to the Mediterranean to outflank and replace the Russian energy exports to Europe. These regime-change wars are about the rich elites wanting to get richer, and cutting all the corrupt politicians in for a nice piece of the pie.
But the Russians are not swallowing the “take over East Ukraine” bait. They knew that once these landslide referrenda votes came in, the Western leaders in denial would be waiving an empty morality gun. World public support will shift quickly. Ban Ki-Moon was quick to go public that he would put any requests for recognition of the newly-declared states to the full UN membership. Luhansk is preparing its request for recognition.
The Western leader coup-meisters will no longer have a free rein. They don’t know it yet, but everyone is really tired of their endless lies, and NATO will take a major credibility hit. Every step they make against the East Ukrainians, the rest of us will view as “they could be doing that to me, next.” People are waking up to the realization that these transnational “defense bodies” can be turned against us when the right circumstances are manufactured.
The next step toward sanity will be to get the new Ukraine states a seat at the negotiating table. If Kiev continues the phony anti-terrorism actions, which kill more on both sides, they are going to be shooting themselves in the head, meaning they are going to be ruling West Ukraine and they will have divided the country out of their own stupidity and that of the US, EU and their respective Non-Intelligence agencies. East Ukraine, of course, will probably boycott the Kiev elections.
The fight will soon begin to find others to blame for the disaster, and expect it to be an issue in the EU elections. Internal opposition there, including among the business community, is beginning to find its voice about the stupidity of using sanctions as a pressure tool on Russia.
The Germans are beginning their own revolt, and France recently told Victoria Nuland where she could stick her demands that Paris cancel the $1.6 billion deal building two Mistral warships for Russia. One thousand Frenchmen are working on them in the shipyards. And yes, there were big contract penalties for France if the contract was broken.
The business news media reports today put the first crack in the dyke. Western governments are trying to calm business fears that there will be not be industry-wide sanctions that could trigger similar reprisals from Russia. That would be a lose-lose situation for the West, since the longer they keep this ridiculous display of non-statesmanship in front of the voters, the angrier the voters are going to get.
On the gas debt, there is no way the Russians can let Kiev dominate the price negotiations by paying what they choose to pay. If they accepted that, then all the penalty clauses in their other pipeline contracts would become worthless. While Western media is spinning the gas showdown as a Russian extortion, all the business and government people know that it is a simple breach-of-contact dispute, which a court can easily rule on.
At the end of the day, no one is going to believe that Kiev did anything without the approval of the US and EU. Their voters are not as stupid as Victoria Nuland and Britain’s Hague think they are. They will figure out whom to blame quite easily. We are all East Ukrainians now, and we need to organize as much visible support for them as we can, and do it now.
