The local population would be less enthusiastic about such a move, and the geography would make such a conquest far more difficult. What is disturbing is that Moscow is not allowing the kind of monitoring it is supposed to of its large-scale military maneuvers near the Ukrainian border.

[link to www.interpretermag.com] OK, if we want to discuss credentials, note that Interpreter Mag is run by the son of Khodovorsky, the Jewish oligarch brought to justice by Russia under Putin, and its overt goal is the overthrow of Russian independence and to make Russia a subordinate to the NWO (the return to the "Good Old Days" of Lenin/Trotsky and Yeltsin/Jewish oligarchs). Now to the point of the article: In terms of geography Crimea is far harder to "invade" than south-eastern Ukraine, as Crimea is mountainous and south-eastern Ukraine is farm fields. But Russia didn't even invade - didn't use tanks, APCs (except to move a few obstructionist vehicles out of the way and crash some locked gates), etc. It is true the population may not be as friendly to Russia as Crimea, but opposition would be relatively muted anyway - certainly far far less than the opposition which faced US/NATO in Afghanistan and Iraq. Indeed I suspect if Russia just pushes to the old Russian Empire line, they will meet very little military resistance, and thereafter, would just form police and possibly local militias to handle law and order. You see, unlike Afghanistan and Iraq, Russia does have a huge base of support in south-eastern Ukraine, even if not as much as it is in Crimea. Sun_dancer |

Russian Foreign Ministry’s representative at the 25th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council on Tuesday criticized the European Union and the United States for being short-sighted in their approach to the presence of ultra-nationalists in Ukraine’s executive power bodies. “This approach is hard to explain,” Roman Kashayev, who is leading the Russian delegation at the session, said. “We are concerned with an obvious deficit of attention shown by the United States and the European Union to the presence of ultra-nationalist forces in the executive power bodies in Ukraine,” the Russian diplomat said. “Their short-sightedness is hard to explain and is apparently linked to their ongoing enthrallment in geopolitical games,” the Russian diplomat stressed. Russia has been warning its partners in Europe and the United States of the dangers behind the spread of ultra-right ideology and political movements, including neo-Nazis. Kashayev said that a rise of neo-Nazism in Europe “was growing into extreme right terror. Regrettably, the European community and Europe’s political leaders seem to be unaware of how dangerous this phenomenon is.” “Ukraine is a clear example of what the appeasement to such ideas and actions carried out for the sake of freedom of speech can lead to,” Kashayev went on to say, noting that ultra-nationalist radicals had risen to power in Kiev as a result of an unconstitutional state coup. He meant Ukraine’s “Svoboda” (Freedom) nationalist party, in the first place, which the European Parliament accused of racism, anti-Semitism and xenophobia in 2012 and called on Europeans to stop cooperation with it. “Representatives of these parties are holding a number of key posts in Kiev, including the posts of vice-premier, the defense minister and chief prosecutor,” Kashayev said. But the Right Sector neo-Nazi movement is even more dangerous. “Its leaders have penetrated into power and are influencing decision-making in Kiev by way of open violence and intimidation,” the Russian diplomat stressed, adding it was them who called for exterminating ethnic Russians, Jews, Poles, Hungarians and representatives of other ethnic minorities. “The international community should not allow Nazis convicted by the Nuremburg Tribunal to have revenge in modern Europe,” the Russian diplomat told. Didn't the Ukrainians/US/EU just assassinate the biggest nationalist troublemaker? Seems like it's two birds with one stone, a dangerous guy is gone and the rest know what will happen if they get out of line. Ukraine has a good handle on things. Sort of. Yes, this death has sent a strong message I'm sure. If any of those who usurped power or were put in powerful positions in Kyiv wish to remain in that position, they will have to clean up their act. Unfortunately One does not mean All. The guy was clearly out of control from likely pharmaceutical overindulgence (on top of being a cretin)..out of control and wrapped too tight even for the rest of the Neos..who have already embedded themselves in 3 key positions. Like a disease implanted into the socio/cultural body of the Ukraine people. It's going to suck. For anyone internal, and nearby. This is the Ukraine's version of Syria's Snackbars. |

The Cooperative Lancer/Longbow-2006 exercises, part of the NATO Partnership for Peace program, started on September 11 and were due to run through September 29. An official from the Moldovan ministry said 150 vehicles, including 20 armoured vehicles from the Moldovan army, are deployed at the platoon-level exercises to practice interoperability between units formed from servicemen from different countries. Nine NATO member countries (Bulgaria, the UK, Hungary, Greece, Canada, Lithuania, Poland, the US and Turkey), and 12 partner states (Austria, Azerbaijan, Albania, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, FYROM, Moldova, Ukraine, Croatia and Switzerland) are involved in the exercise. Military experts from a joint peacekeeping contingent in the zone of the Transdnestr conflict, including Russian and Transdnestr peacekeepers are monitoring the manoeuvres.

Right Sector leader Dmitry Yarosh's statement, which contains a threat to avenge Right Sector activist Alexander Muzychko, killed in a shoot-out with law enforcers on Tuesday, "is lawless and threatens stability in all regions of Ukraine", Viktoria Syumar, deputy secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council (SNBO), said at a meeting with journalists on Tuesday. "Any threats addressed to the the Head of the Interior Ministry, any threats to use force are lawless and jeopardize stability in all regions of Ukraine, including that in Kiev, irrespective of the whereabouts of the Right Sector," she said, adding that "a special investigation will be carried out" into the fact of Muzychko's death. Earlier Tuesday, Yarosh demanded resignation of the Interior Minister and arrest of those members of the special unit Sokol (falcon), who were involved in the detention of Muzychko who is known as "Sashko Bilyi". The details of the operation aimed at apprehending Muzychko on the outskirts of the city of Rovno were given on Tuesday at a press conference by Vladimir Yevdokimov, Ukraine's First Deputy Minister of the Interior. He said members of the organized-crime group (OCG) had committed crimes in the territory of Rovno Region and in several other regions. On March 8, investigators initiated criminal proceedings against Muzychko under the provisions of Ukraine's Criminal Code article envisaging responsibility for rowdy behaviour, as well as for threats or violence against law enforcers. On March 12, Muzychk was put on a wanted list. Yevdokomov said that during the special operation to apprehend and neutralize OCG members, the personnel of Sokol a special unit of the Interior Ministry's regional directorate, the job of which is to provide security support to operational search activities apprehended Muzychko's bodyguards who were armed with Kalashnikov automatic rifles and Makarov pistols. Myzychko himself sought to flee and opened fire on militiamen. One member of the special unit was wounded. The unit personnel had to use firearms. Yevdokimov also pointed out that signs of a crime listed in Article 257 (banditry) were perceived in the actions of the detained OCG members. "Facts of lawless actions are galore," Yevdokimov emphasized. |

Russia is a leading economic, political, cultural, and especially military factor in at least two major regions of the world - Europe and Asia, and recently № 1 in the Arctic. Such a powerful state can not be simply dominant in one region - how as a naval force with four fleets as Russia, armed with the most modern nuclear weapons located at a distance of up to 8000 km apart and completely adequate as forces and resources to the US can be called a "regional power"? Even thermonuclear charges of at least two Russian submarines of the Northern Fleet of class "Borei" fired, can destroy twice its population and the entire civilian infrastructure. Such frivolous talk to Russia, whose army number of personnel exceeds that of the US by 3.5 times bigger, and artillery pieces and armored vehicles wise by up to 5 times ... so such talk is irrational and strikes with simplicity. Natural resources, especially fuel in the Russian subsoil are invaluable, and the population of Russia is educated, deeply rooted in history, and brought up by the ideas of the great classical writers, philosophers, and inventors. |

The EU is Russia’s biggest trading partner, while Russia is the third largest trading partner of the EU. Exports to Russia make up 7.3 per cent of the EU’s total, while imports are 12 per cent. On the other hand, the EU buys 50 per cent of Russian exports and sells 42 per cent of what Russia buys from the outside. Also, foreign direct investment from the EU accounted for over 75 per cent of Russia’s total in 2012. FDI from Russia is a small 3 per cent of the EU’s total. |

This is a country whose area is about the size of North America. Russia is a leading economic, political, cultural, and especially military factor in at least two major regions of the world - Europe and Asia, and recently № 1 in the Arctic. Such a powerful state can not be simply dominant in one region - how as a naval force with four fleets as Russia, armed with the most modern nuclear weapons located at a distance of up to 8000 km apart and completely adequate as forces and resources to the US can be called a "regional power"? Even thermonuclear charges of at least two Russian submarines of the Northern Fleet of class "Borei" fired, can destroy twice its population and the entire civilian infrastructure. Such frivolous talk to Russia, whose army number of personnel exceeds that of the US by 3.5 times bigger, and artillery pieces and armored vehicles wise by up to 5 times ... so such talk is irrational and strikes with simplicity. Natural resources, especially fuel in the Russian subsoil are invaluable, and the population of Russia is educated, deeply rooted in history, and brought up by the ideas of the great classical writers, philosophers, and inventors. If Obama's true intentions are to de-escalate things, then this was an incredibly stupid comment IMO |
