Weakening Russia by trapping them into civil war in Ukraine was an ideal solution but Putin is not biting.

Really the US has caused a civil war in Ukraine...Interesting.

Now has the US or any of it's allies put military hardware in the hands of Ukraine or the Right Sector, because that is something that has been shown Putin has done with the separatists.

The civil war is being pushed by the Russians and the world knows this even though Putin tries to deny it.

All of this is happening because US is trying so hard to remain the only superpower and keep its dominance.

No all of this is happening because Putin is a paranoid leader of State. If the US wanted to do that it very well could have done that when the fall of the Soviet Union happened so that argument doesn't work anymore.

They will try in a near future to destabilise Russia with some similar events in some other country in Russian neighbourhood.

Russia doesn't need the US to do something like that as they have done that all by themselves...Georgia and now Ukraine shows it.

In my opinion Russia should do the same and instead of being always a step behind they should take initiative and sponsor some anti US governments around the world.

And somehow you think that doesn't already happen?

twist and turn all you want, the facts are out even all over the internet. US is behind the Maidan mess and current puppets in Ukraine. Not for the well being of Ukrainians, but rather for weakening Russia as an ultimate goal.
What do you expect, Putin to sit down and do nothing?
Poor Jen, she is so uncomfortable.









watch these clips and come back to say US has nothing to do with Maidan and violetn overturn of legitimate Government

Had people with permanent offices in NATO sat in on policy meetings and even shaped policy. Than he realized he needed an enemy to maintain his grip on power. So he created one problem is he severly miscalculated the situation. His attempt to control russians in the end will fail its inevatable now that he will be blamed for destroying the economy remeber all things financual take at least a year to play out.

Yatsenyuk, using term 'subhumans' in his speech commemorating loss of 49 soldiers in plane crash.

"We bow our heads to the heroes who lost their lives for the sake of their country, to prevent the war from coming into the house of each of us," Prime-Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said.
"They lost their lives because they defended men and women, children and the elderly who found themselves in a situation facing a threat to be killed by invaders and sponsored by subhumans," he said. "First, we will commemorate the heroes by wiping out those who killed them and then by cleaning our land from the evil."

Sub-human is a term that became infamous when the Nazis used it to describe "inferior people"[1] often referred to as "the masses from the East," that is Jews, Gypsies, and Slavs; including Poles, Serbs, Belarusians, Russians, and Rusyns.[2][3] The term was also applied to black people and Mulattos.[4] Jewish people were to be exterminated[5] in the Holocaust, just as Slavs in Generalplan Ost, who were destined to be removed from European territory under German control through murder and ethnic cleansing. While the Nazis were inconsistent in the implementation of their policy,[6][7] its genocidal death toll was in tens of millions of victims.

coincidence?

time for reality check fellas

The openly Nazi core of Kiev’s new army; WikiLeaked cables set Ukraine ‘nationalists’ in NATO ‘dirty wars’ abroad; and the ‘psychopaths’ who run CIA special operations.

Oh more NAZIs surprise surprise there hiding everywhere dont turn around. Really first lets clear something up Nationalists exist all over Europe especially in Russia where right now theres a Pro Russian sentiment growing. As of yet they havnt taken power because they are a minority. Nationalists always gain popularity in countries who are having economic problems like Greece and Russia. This conflict will tank the Ukrainian economy as well again leading to Nationalists being more visible in fact they work with the ones in Russia as well. But the situation in Russia is far worse in the fact that Putin is allowing them to operate openly terrorising gays and immigrants in the country. In fact they have so little fear of the Russian government they post videos of themselves doing it they know they have Putins approval since nationalism is running high in Russia right now. And one for him Putin to maintain his iron grip is to take a page from Hitler. Stalin did as well he learned from Hitler that opression works and he took it to all new levels i hate to think Russia is going to repaet that part of their history but there well on the road.

Ukraine is run by nazis supported by the american jews. Awesome logic. In other news, turns out hamas has always been funded by the israeli government for #s and giggles as well.

Funny part is you think theres a diffrence with .05 percent growth in Russia. And trust me thats Kremlin numbers so the truth is going to be far lower. There economy already entered a recession meaning 3 quarters of zero growth. The Russian economy was already teetering on the edge with sanctions its going to get worse.Funny part is putin put everything on the line over Ukraine biggest mistake he could have made. Hes trading off Russia's economic future to maintain power. It will work for a while but in the end will fail.

NAF forces at the crash site of Il-76 in Lugansk

According to Acting Defense Minister Michael Koval, head of the main operational management Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Shutava suspended from duties because of downed IL-76.

I thought this was funny apparently putin doesnt like to be insulted and upset.Also notice the people in Kiev is now calling Putin a NAZI this just appears to be the ultimate insult in that part of the world.

Ukraine's foreign minister has become embroiled in an unusual diplomatic row after he was caught on camera making abusive remarks about Vladimir Putin outside the Russian embassy in Kiev on Saturday evening.

As the conflict in eastern Ukraine has deepened in recent months, the chant of "Putin khuilo" has become ever more popular among Ukrainians who blame Russia for stoking discontent in the east. Khuilo is a Russian swearword that approximately translates as "#er" or "dickhead".

Andriy Deshchytsia, the country's acting foreign minister, arrived at the Russian embassy to reason with crowds who had gathered outside, angered that pro-Russia rebels had brought down a Ukrainian transport plane near Luhansk early on Saturday, killing 49 people on board. The crowds threw rocks and eggs at the embassy, destroyed diplomatic vehicles, and painted swastikas on the gates, chanting "Putin is a fascist" and "Putin khuilo".

Deshchytsia tried to calm some in the crowd, telling them Russia should answer for its actions but that storming the embassy was not the correct response. When he was shouted down by the angry mob, he responded: "I am for you protesting. I am ready to be here with you and say 'Russia, get out of Ukraine'… Yes, Putin is a khuilo, yes."

Seizing on his words, a delighted group of protesters then struck up a "Putin khuilo" chant, leaving the minister looking somewhat bemused.

The incident prompted fury in Moscow, where officials are already incensed by the attack on the embassy and its property.

United Nations, June 16. / Correspondent. ITAR-TASS Oleg Zelenin /. The UN Security Council on Monday will hold a closed meeting on the situation in Ukraine

Russia and Ukraine failed to resolve a gas pricing dispute during Sunday talks in Kiev. Gazprom says its demands have not changed and Kiev is expected to pay its debt of $1.95 billion by 06:00 GMT on Monday, otherwise the gas supply will be stopped.

Gazprom’s position remained unchanged after EU-brokered negotiations finally ended around 2:30 a.m. Moscow time (10:30 p.m. GMT) on Monday, Gazprom spokesperson Aleksey Kupriyanov told reporters.

If Ukraine’s gas debt is not paid on time, Russia will be switching to an advance payment system, which will essentially stop gas supply to Ukraine, he added.

Bolivian President Evo Morales has urged the world community to bring an end to the UN Security Council as it is not meeting its goal of securing peace between states, the Bolivian ABI agency reports.

“The action group of Odessa residents is planning to file a lawsuit to the local administrative court of Kiev against the Ukrainian authorities whom they blame for the May 2 tragedy. Members of the group demand to recognize the authorities’ actions illicit and to launch an immediate probe into the events,” UNN reports.
Dozens of anti-Maidan activists died on May 2 in a fire in Odessa’s House of Trade Unions. At least 48 people died, and over 200 were injured. The interim government in Kiev has been accused by local officials of covering up the actual death toll of at least 116.

All army units in Lugansk and east of the city have switched sides to join the newly proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic

en.itar-tass.com...

LUGANSK, June 15, /ITAR-TASS/. All army units in Lugansk and east of the city have switched sides to join the newly proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic, head of the republic Valery Bolotov said on Sunday.
“By now, all army units in Lugansk and east of the city have come over to the Lugansk People’s Republic, except those staying at the airport. We are in talks with them, trying to persuade them,” he told a news conference.
He refuted reports that the Dnepropetrovsk paratrooper brigade had left the Lugansk international airport. “No one left the territory of the airport,” he said.
Commenting on reports that the Dnepropetrovsk paratroopers had been barred from leaving the airport by a Lvov brigade, also defending the airport, Bolotov said, “If the Dnepropetrovsk servicemen ask us to help, we will help them.
Vladimir Gromov, the chief of the republic’s counter-intelligence service, told a news conference that anti-saboteur units will be formed.
“From tomorrow, we are forming a special unit that will work to prevent subversive activities,” he said.

Looks like things are looking bleak for Ukraine

very good read and something to think about.

Historical analogies may be inaccurate, but Americans may need to look at their own civil war and compare it to what is happening in Ukraine now. Today the US supports a murderous criminal adventure that has little to do with unifying the country.

This assessment came from Professor Stephen Cohen, prominent US scholar of Russian studies and author, who advised George H.W. Bush in the late 1980s. He spoke to RT about the mistakes of the consecutive American administrations in their Russia policies, the worst crisis in decades that they led to and the deterioration of political discourse in America that prevents things from changing in Washington.

Cohen challenged the narrative of the Ukrainian events dominating in the US, calling the military crackdown by the government an “unwise, reckless, murderous, inhuman campaign that Kiev is conduction against what are admittedly rebel provinces.”
