Ukraine War: Kiev Announces America’s War With Russia!
According to the BBC on Febuary 9th President Barack Obama: ”The
possibility of lethal defensive weapons is one of those options that is
being examined.” What this means is if the Minsk talks fail, the US
will supply lethal heavy weapons openly to Ukraine if Russia does not
get into line with western policy.
Kiev, which has openly denied Russia is invading or sending regular troops into the conflict is
now giving Russia an ultimatum. In October I traveled through the
Donbass region and did invasive passport checks on soldiers. My findings
agree with Kiev on this point.
There are no Russian military units or
regular soldiers in the region. I interviewed Spanish volunteers. I
spoke with Chechens, Afghanis, Russian citizens, and Cossacks. They are
private citizens that have family here or have come to fight fascism so
it does not spread further into Europe or Russia.
Even in the face of this According to the
BBC Obama further stated “Russia had violated “every commitment” made in
the failing Minsk agreement, he added, after talks with the German
chancellor on a new peace deal.”
President Obama is under tremendous
pressure from the combined Eastern European Caucus on Capital Hill to
make this happen. For the nationalists the largest threat to them hasn’t
been American democracy as it should have been, and should be. It has
been Russia that has taken the lead in this and suffered the most for
it.
On February 10th the Deputy Head of the Poroshenko Administration, Valery Chaly released these statements.
“Every decision concerning outcome of the upcoming meeting (Minsk) has
been made already. Kiev unilaterally rejects all proposals for
federalization, the expansion of the DNR an LNR to their administrative
borders, and granting rights of broad autonomy.
The only thing that Kiev is ready to agree
to is abolish duties between Russia and Donbass at their borders and
indulge Donbass in the use of the Russian language.”
By taking any and all negotiations off the
table, Poroshenko’s government has effectively rendered the Minsk talks
and agreement worthless.
Taking a Stick To Russia’s Putin
Speaking for Poroshenko’s administration,
Chaly went much further by saying under no circumstances will the
conflict be frozen. In an ultimatum to Vladimir Putin’s government in
Russia he boldly said “If Putin does not accept these terms the “West
will thrash Russia! Russia will pay a high price, and among the serious
consequences resulting from Russia’s lack of obedience would be an
escalation of the conflict.”
How can Poroshenko’s Kiev escalate the conflict more than openly attacking civilians with banned weapons and destroying entire towns? The
Ukrainian governments crimes against humanity in front of the world is
what frames this conflict. This escalation can only mean drawing Russia
into the conflict further, well beyond the diplomatic cover and
humanitarian aid Russia is currently providing Donbass today.
This hit’em with a stick diplomacy is part and parcel to Ukrainian ultra-nationalist ideology. Diplomacy can only be conducted with a weapon pointed and your “enemy” crushed.
Heavy NATO weapons such as the Paladin
artillery system and tanks are used in the arena already. The Ukrainian
military has no training or experience on these systems. Will American
troops fight for the openly nationalist Ukrainians? To date by the
current reckoning well over 100 American mercenaries are buried here.
Two US army military trainers were reported killed near Mariupol last
August training Azov Battalion.
In one of the few articles to openly show
the stark realities for Donbass the BBC in a congratulatory piece showed
how much Ukraine is receiving for weapons and aid from private donors. It then compares the level of support Russia gives Donbass which according to the pro-junta BBC is minimal humanitarian aid.
Ukraine sealed off Donbass from getting
medicines and foodstuffs from the west. Now it is demanding Russian do
it from the East. It also demands that Russia take responsibility for
weapons it is not sending. The twisted side politically is that Ukraine
and the west want Russia’s Putin to take responsibility for decisions
made outside his own country by the leaders of DNR and LNR who have
clearly shown that while cooperative with Russia, Novorossya will be its
own country. Vladimir Putin has also made it clear Novorossya does not
have a future being absorbed as part of Russia.
Russia’s Response to the Ultimatum
As I sit writing this, the Kremlin has
responded to both the ultimatums and the threat of US heavy weapons
shipped openly to the conflict area. Simply, “we will respond to the US
sending weapons with diplomacy.”
If Kiev was telling the truth about a Russian invasion through
MSN all this time then US and EU troops are about to come in direct
contact and conflict with them. This most dangerous of lies may
eventually solve the problem of people not knowing where the Donbass
conflict is. Should the worlds Titan countries go head to head, the
Ukraine war, with Kiev’s lies, manipulations, war crimes, and eventual
escalated attacks on Russia itself, may find its way to your own
backyard.
For the American way of life, a crossroads
has appeared in front of us. The decision about which road we should
take will have profound effects on who we are as a country. If we are a
great people we need to rely on and restore democratic principles.
If we sit by that decision is being made by
neo-liberals and neo-cons for us today. In that case America will be
remembered as a once great country that lost itself in both
self-absorption and a nation that lost faith in its people. It became a
people managed by its government. It is the most horrible of epitaphs.
