<\/a>Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev gave Ukraine a gift in 1954: <\/em>Crimea<\/em><\/strong>, the strategically important peninsula (shown in pink here) on the northern shores of the Black Sea.<\/em><\/h5>\n <\/span><\/h5>\n
A long and rambling <\/strong>articl<\/span>e<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a> appeared a few days ago in the online edition of the Daily Telegraph<\/em>. It was a collage of interesting quotes and curious facts about the current situation in Ukraine. This helped to reinforce my pessimistic belief that man is essentially an irrational animal and that the world, bar one or two exceptions, is largely ruled by serial killers doubling\u00a0 as politicians.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Indeed, many famous historical characters have managed to combine serial killing with a career in politics. To mention only a few: Nero, Caligula, Countess Bathory of Hungary, Ivan the Terrible, the Borgias, Lavrenti Beria.<\/h5>\n
This article is itself a collage of quotes and facts from the above-mentioned article, interspersed with my own comments.<\/h5>\n

Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the Nato secretary general, has warned that Europe stands on the brink \u2014 thanks to Russian intervention in Ukraine. And John Kerry, American secretary of state, has accused Russia of an \u201cincredible act of aggression\u201d.<\/h5>\n
John McCain, American senator and senior Republican foreign policy spokesman, has spoken about how the US should respond to Putin\u2019s moves.<\/h5>\n
In an interview with <\/span>The Daily<\/span> Beast<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/a><\/strong>, he says that Obama\u2019s threats are \u201claughable\u201d and that Hillary Clinton has totally misjudged Russia.<\/h5>\n
\u201cOf course she got it wrong,\u201d McCain says, who has seldom been known to get anything right himself. \u00a0\u201cShe believed that somehow there would be a reset with a guy who was a KGB colonel who always had ambitions to restore the Russian empire.<\/h5>\n
That\u2019s what this is all about<\/em>.\u201d<\/h5>\n
One can only wince when one reads such \u00a0poppycock.<\/h5>\n
<\/a>Putin\u2019s entirely justifiable move to come to the rescue of ethnic Russians in the Crimea who have been threatened and even killed in Kiev by neo-Nazi thugs \u2014 thugs whom McCain has himself actively supported and met with<\/strong> (see right<\/em>) \u2014 is billed as a bid \u201cto restore the Russian Empire.\u201d<\/h5>\n <\/span><\/h5>\n
It doesn\u2019t get any wackier than this.<\/h5>\n
Dmitry Peskov, Putin\u2019s spokesman, was asked what he thought of John Kerry condemning Russia\u2019s \u201cact of aggression\u201d and Russia\u2019s \u201cnineteenth-century behavior.\u201d<\/h5>\n
\u201cNo comment at the moment,\u201d he replied laconically.<\/h5>\n
\u2663<\/h5>\n
John Kerry has appeared on the Sunday morning political show \u201cFace the Nation,\u201d on CBS. \u00a0He said: \u00a0\u201cYou just don\u2019t in the 21st century behave in 19th century fashion by invading another country on a completely trumped up pretext.\u201d<\/h5>\n
This from the representative of a country that invaded Iraq on a \u201ctrumped up pretext\u201d, and, according to Willian Blum in his classic expos\u00e9 \u201cKilling Hope\u201d,\u00a0 has toppled 77 legitimate governments, beginning with the democratically elected government of Iran in 1953. The US moreover is a country that, according to Chomsky, has managed to murder roughly 55 million people since 1945.<\/h5>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s an incredible act of aggression,\u201d Kerry noted hypocritically, laying on the double standards thick. \u00a0\u201cIt is really a stunning, willful choice by President Putin to invade another country. Russia is in violation of the sovereignty of Ukraine. Russia is in violation of its international obligations.\u201d<\/h5>\n
Mr Kerry said that the G8 nations and some other countries were \u201cprepared to go to the hilt to isolate Russia.\u201d He threatened trade embargoes, visa bans, asset freezes. Yes, it seems that whenever America starts feeling the pinch and is worried about its huge deficits, it contrives to confiscate the dollar deposits of some other more economically successful country.<\/h5>\n
A good reason for countries such as China, Russia and Iran to keep their hard-earned savings out of US banks and far from the rapacious claws of Jewish banksters.<\/h5>\n
\u2663<\/h5>\n
David Remnick, editor of the New Yorker<\/em>, recently wrote a thought-provoking piece on Ukraine and Putin\u2019s<\/span> calculations<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong>. \u201cPutin\u2019s reaction exceeded our worst expectations,\u201d he huffed. \u201cThese next days in Ukraine are bound to be frightening.\u201d<\/h5>\n
He also quotes former Russian politician Vladimir Ryzhkov who pointed out that\u00a0 the situation was not only dangerous for Ukraine but for Russia itself: \u201cThis will be fatal for the regime and catastrophic for Russia. They have taken leave of their senses!\u201d<\/h5>\n
Ukraine\u2019s richest man, Rinat Akhmetov, worth $15 billion according to Forbes Magazine<\/em>, has denounced Russia\u2019s incursion into Ukraine. Russia\u2019s \u201crecourse to force from outside is unacceptable,\u201d he raged.<\/h5>\n
This Ukrainian oligarch, who has close ties with Ukraine\u2019s Jewish community and is known to be in cahoots\u00a0 with organized crime \u2014 probably the Judeo-Russian mafia \u2014 has reason to hate and fear President Putin.<\/h5>\n
It was Putin, after all, who had brought the seven crooked Russian oligarchs to book, six of them Jewish; and it was also Putin who managed to claw back much of the plundered wealth that these financial predators had filched from the Soviet Union after its dissolution in 1991.<\/h5>\n
It is men such as this, steeped in corruption, who plot against Putin in occupied Ukraine and hope to make a killing if and when the country is handed over to the tender mercies of the Jew-controlled IMF.<\/h5>\n
\u201cI call on all citizens to unite for a united and indivisible Ukraine,\u201d Mr Akhmetov cooed unctuously. \u201cWe must keep cool heads and not succumb to provocations.\u201d<\/h5>\n
Yes, Ukraine must at all costs remain united<\/em>. If part of it is lost to Russia, the richer and stategically more important Crimean region, there\u2019s so much less for oligarchs and Western predators to plunder, isn\u2019t there?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
It\u2019s therefore in the interests of billionaire oligarchs like Akhmetov and corrupt politicians like Jewess Yulia Tymoshenko \u2014 with her crooked business dealings<\/span><\/a><\/strong> with Semyon Moglievich, head of the Jewish Russian mafia \u2014 that Ukraine\u2019s richer region, the Crimea, should remain within full reach of its future expectant plunderers.<\/h5>\n
<\/a>It is to be noted that the glamorous Yulia, with her pretty face and sexy hairstyle, has long been the darling of the Western media. Having become Ukraine\u2019s first Prime Minister in January 2005 and Ukraine\u2019s third richest woman, according to Forbes<\/em> magazine, Yulia subsequently spent time behind bars on serious corruption charges. There are now plans afoot to make this former jailbird Prime Minister of Ukraine again.<\/h5>\n
<\/span><\/h5>\n
To be sure, Julia\u2019s close links to Semyon Moglievich, head of the Jewish Russian mafia, means that Ukraine could indirectly fall into the hands of the world\u2019s most powerful criminal syndicate run by Jews \u2014 that is, if Yulia is thrust into power again.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Perhaps that\u2019s just what the West wants.<\/h5>\n
\u2663<\/h5>\n
Jewish author and self-confessed \u201cRussia-wonk\u201d Ben Judah says that Putin needs to ask himself four key questions as he embarks on a possible conflict in Ukraine.<\/h5>\n
We have space here only to give Question 1 \u2014 which gives us a good idea of Ben Judah\u2019s mindset and Rambo style of writing: \u201cWhat does Putin plan to tell Russians when their troops start coming home in bodybags?\u201d<\/h5>\n
It\u2019s now 8am in New York: America is waking up and digesting the news from the past 12 hours.<\/h5>\n
Here is a good US-focused round up of the e<\/span>vents<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong>, from the LA Times<\/em>.<\/h5>\n
In the days ahead, Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the majority leader, said \u201cCongress will be looking for ways to help bolster the Ukrainian government\u2019s efforts to stabilize the economy, restore their sovereignty, and promote political reconciliation.\u201d<\/h5>\n
Like Ben Judah, Eric Cantor is Jewish.<\/h5>\n
He is the man, passionately Zionist and Islamophobic, who managed to bring down General Petraeus (perceived as anti-Zionist) by gaining mysterious access to the good general\u2019s\u00a0 private emails. (See her<\/span>e<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong>)<\/h5>\n
Cantor\u2019s story that he got hold of Petraeus\u2019s private love letters to his mistress from a confidential source at the FBI is unconvincing. He probably received this information straight from Israeli intelligence, which, as we all know after Snowden\u2019s revelations, has access \u2014 through its cosy and incestuous relationship with the NSA \u2014 to every email and telephone call made in America.<\/h5>\n
One can\u2019t help wondering: how is it that, whenever you take a peep behind the curtains in the secret chamber, you always find a Jew skulking there in the shadows?<\/h5>\n
\u2663<\/h5>\n
Everyone is hopping mad with Putin for springing to the defense of Russians in Ukraine whose lives have been threatened by neo-Nazi terrorists.<\/h5>\n
Lithuania has recalled its ambassador from Russia for \u201cconsultations\u201d. Canada last night recalled its ambassador to Moscow. The Czech Republic this morning did the same in Prague.<\/h5>\n
Britain has not recalled its ambassador yet, but last night summoned the Russian ambassador in London to the Foreign Office, presumably to give him a good ticking off. Rail Britannia!<\/em><\/h5>\n
Russia\u2019s upper house also demanded the recall of Russia\u2019s ambassador to the US \u2014 something it has not yet done.<\/h5>\n
Last night Russian warships were spotted off the coast of Crimea, apparently in violation of Russia\u2019s agreement with Ukraine over its Sebastapol base. Russia has controlled that base for 230 years. It is allowed to keep its Black Sea fleet there but it cannot do as it wishes.<\/h5>\n
Russian forces also took control of the Coast Guard offices in Balaklava \u2014 again apparently violating a previous agreement with Ukraine. So argue the Americans and the neo-Nazi terrorists in western Ukraine on the American payroll.<\/h5>\n
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Nato secretary general, has convened a meeting of Nato. He has just issued\u00a0 this angry statement:<\/h5>\n
\u201cI have convened the North Atlantic Council today because of Russia\u2019s military action in Ukraine and President Putin\u2019s threats against this sovereign nation. What Russia is doing now in Ukraine violates the principles of the United Nations Charter. It threatens peace and security in Europe. Russia must stop its military activities and its threats!\u201d<\/h5>\n
Oh, so Russia has flouted its agreement with Ukraine, has it?<\/h5>\n
These noodles conveniently forget that the agreement Russia made was made with a legitimate and democratically elected Ukrainian government. It was not made with a bunch of right-wing fanatics in black masks and jackboots who have just staged a coup d\u2019\u00e9tat.<\/em><\/h5>\n
Sergei Bochenko, commander of a local militia in Savastopol is quoted in a Time Magazine <\/span>article<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong> <\/span>as saying: \u201cThere\u2019s not a chance in hell we\u2019re going to accept the rule of that fascist scum running around in Kiev with swastikas.\u201d<\/h5>\n
\u2663<\/h5>\n
Arseny Yatsenyuk, interim prime minister of Ukraine, has just said that Russia has declared war on his country. \u201cThis is the red alert, this is not just a threat, this is actually a declaration of war!\u201d he fumed.<\/h5>\n
Acting unelected President Oleksander Turchinov chipped in: \u201cAny attempt to attack military installations in Ukraine is direct military aggression against our country!\u00a0 The Russian leadership will be held responsible!\u201d<\/h5>\n
\u201cWe are on the brink of disaster!\u201d wailed the unelected prime minister.<\/h5>\n
Hmm . . . so who initiated the disaster in the first place? Who began it all, hein<\/em>? Who staged a coup d\u2019\u00e9tat<\/em> with the help of $5 billion taken out of the pockets of American taxpayers?<\/h5>\n
\u2663<\/h5>\n
Here is UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon talking on the telephone \u2014 with the NSA, Mossad, and Britain\u2019s GCHQ presumably listening in? \u2014 saying he was \u201cgravely concerned\u201d by recent events that had compromised Ukrainian sovereignty.<\/h5>\n
\u201cIt is crucial to restore calm and proceed to an immediate de-escalation of the situation,\u201d Ban said, calling on Putin to engage in direct dialogue with the authorities in Kiev. \u201cCool heads must prevail,\u201c<\/em> he added tactlessly, implying that Putin was uncool.<\/h5>\n
From Ban\u2019s condescending comments one can only conclude that Ban thinks he is in a position to lecture Putin on the niceties of calm behavior. Putin is the hothead, the guy who is going to nuke New York in 45 minutes, as Saddam Hussein was going to nuke London \u2014 according to the mendacious war criminal Tony Blair, still at large.<\/h5>\n
People who meddle in the affairs of sovereign countries, who stage coups d\u2019\u00e9tats<\/em> and destroy democratically elected governments, these are the cool heads. The good guys. Those who respond to their aggression, like Putin, are depicted as the dangerous lunatics.<\/h5>\n
The mindboggling hypocrisy beggars belief.<\/h5>\n
\u2663<\/h5>\n
If a major conflict erupts between Russia and its Western aggressors over Ukraine, I for one will be backing Russia all the way. There\u2019s no doubt in my mind that Russia holds the high moral ground. Backing Russia is therefore incumbent on all of us who value good above evil.<\/h5>\n
To talk of Russia \u201cannexing\u201d and \u201coccupying\u201d Crimea, as Western political pundits repeatedly do, fails to take into account two crucial facts: (a) that the Crimea once belonged to Russia and was gifted to Ukraine in 1954 by Nikita Khrushchev (see map above), and (b) that a significant majority in Crimea, most of them ethnic Russians, actually requested Putin\u2019s intervention and begged him to come to their rescue.<\/h5>\n
As for the US and British complaint that Russia had \u201cinvaded\u201d Ukraine, one can only roll one\u2019s eyes in dismay at this fatuous accusation, given that it comes from the lips of the hypocritical invaders of Iraq and Afghanistan \u2013 failed invaders, one may add, who blew $3 trillion on each invasion and obtained nothing for their pains but ignominy and shame.<\/h5>\n
It is a mistake to believe that Russia will necessarily confine its military actions to the Crimean region, leaving the rest of Ukraine to slip into the hands of the US and Europe. Why would it be a mistake to think this? For the simple reason that vitally important gas pipelines that pass from Russia to Europe go right through Ukraine.<\/h5>\n
So make no mistake. The whole<\/em> of Ukraine, not just Crimea, is Russia\u2019s fief. The US and Europe have no business being in Ukraine all, stirring up trouble and fomenting regime change. If these busybodies continue to meddle in Ukraine\u2019s affairs, Russia would be fully justified in cutting off Europe\u2019s gas supply.<\/h5>\n
American attorney and online political commentator Michael Snyder sums up the situation in Ukraine neatly:<\/h5>\n
\u201dAs an American, how would you feel if another nation funded and organized the violent overthrow of the democratically-elected Canadian government and replaced it with a government that was virulently anti-American?<\/h5>\n
By doing this to Ukraine, the United States and the EU are essentially sticking a pin in Russia\u2019s eye.\u00a0 Needless to say, Russia is extremely angry at this point and they are gearing up for wa<\/span>r<\/span><\/span><\/a> . . .\u201d<\/h5>\n
