MOSCOW, August 04. /ITAR-TASS/. Settlement of the Ukraine crisis is hardly possible as long as southeastern Ukrainians are considered terrorists and separatists, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview to ITAR-TASS on Monday.

...

The article makes many interesting points.

---
Also on Thursday, Putin’s very own version of Banquo’s ghost came back to haunt him from England, where a judge opened a high-level official inquiry into the 2006 radioactive poisoning death of ex-KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko. (The suspects are Russian agents, one of them now a member of Putin’s toy parliament.)
...
In Eastern Ukraine, on the other hand, widespread distrust of the new pro-Western government in Kiev did not translate into separatist sentiment: in a Pew poll in April, secession was viewed as a permissible option by only 18 percent of the region’s population and 27 percent of its Russian speakers.
...
The fact that the leadership of the two pseudo-republics was dominated by Russian citizens—often with ties to Russia’s “special services” and with vaguely comical backgrounds of political spin doctor or battle-reenactment hobbyist—didn’t help boost their credibility. Neither did their record of kidnappings and other thuggish actions.
...
A few days ago, Kommersant columnist Andrei Kolesnikov—who, according to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty writer Brian Whitmore, “regularly travels with Putin and is often a conduit for messages from the regime's inner sanctum to the broader elite”—wrote that Putin will cut the insurgents loose if it turns out they are definitely responsible for downing the Malaysian airplane.
...
Even before the latest sanctions, there were reports, based on German intelligence sources, of a power struggle in the Kremlin between hardliners and business leaders. Early in July, a similar report of a split between “hawks” and “doves” within Russia’s power elites appeared in the Russian online newspaper Znak.com, which Russian online media analyst and Moscow Times columnist Victor Davidoff told me has connections to Kremlin insiders.

 Quoting: Skeptic the First

I wrote 2 months ago the Russian oligarchs will reach a point where they will collectively decide no more of their billions melting away will be tolerated at the hands of Putin and his Pyrrhic Ukraine follies. They will pay-off the generals, certain Duma figures will comprise the new leadership and the FSB will decide if it is to be a bloodless coup or, in fact, how much blood will be spilt.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26200991



I see no logic in this...

What kind of other leadership they would propose?
A pro US one? There is one like this in Russia ??

Or mayby Putin is too soft, dont You recon?
The only oposition rising to Putin would be the one thinking, that he is too "concern" and too little "Russia invades ur ass". And what that means is war and more sanctions, more business lost for Oligarchs.

Oligarchs are shady millionares made by businesses with governments and mafia. For them to make a rebellion is like going against their master to surve western intrests.

I dont see any acceptance in the army for this or in the FSB. Btw. FSB controls oligarchs. Oligarchs are at the lowest part chain of decision.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 59284360


And one more thing, Putin got more money to offer FSB, army and the generals. He can offer them all the money oligarchs got - bring me their heads, keep their wealth
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 59284360

The scenario is pure speculation on my part. This, however, is my main point; for the first time, I've seen recently, a identifiable fissure has developed between Putins '2nd circle' of advisors.

Another thing when Putin received the military's backing in his latest presidential run, it was for one single reason. Putin promised the generals, admirals to implement a 10 year, 650 billion USD plan to completely remake and update the entire military. Currently, we are in the 3rd year.

Now, apparently, generals are not happy b/c Putin's policies in Eastern Ukraine have brought that 10 year plan to a complete halt. Generals are very skeptical the military re-modernisation will be completed, full term. Sanctions, capital flight, economy gone to shit and they blame a reckless Putin. A fissure has developed.

These Ukrainian dogs are making a major mistake in advancing through rebel territory instead of negotiating to give up the land to us rightful Russians.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 46130593

Muscovites who believe they own other countries' land will eventually suffer the same fate as the Nazis who believed similarly:

[link to en.wikipedia.org]
---
On 13 March 1933, The Third Reich established a Ministry of Propaganda, appointing Joseph Goebbels as its Minister. Goals were to establish external enemies (countries that allegedly inflicted the Treaty of Versailles on Germany - by territorial claims and ethnocentrism) and internal enemies, such as Jews, Romani, homosexuals, Bolsheviks and topics like degenerate art.

A major political and ideological cornerstone of Nazi policy was the unification of all ethnic Germans living outside of the Reich's borders under one Greater Germany (e.g. Austria and Czechoslovakia).[8] In Mein Kampf, Hitler made a direct remark to those outside of Germany. He stated that pain and misery were being forced upon ethnic Germans outside of Germany, and that they dream of common fatherland. He finished by stating they needed to fight for one's nationality.[9] Throughout Mein Kampf, he pushed Germans worldwide to make the struggle for political power and independence their main focus. Nazi propaganda used the Heim ins Reich policy for this, which began in 1938.[10]

For months prior to the beginning of World War II in 1939, German newspapers and leaders had carried out a national and international propaganda campaign accusing Polish authorities of organizing or tolerating violent ethnic cleansing of ethnic Germans living in Poland.[11] On 22 August, Adolf Hitler told his generals:

"I will provide a propagandistic casus belli. Its credibility doesn't matter. The victor will not be asked whether he told the truth."[12][13]

The main part of this propaganda campaign was the false flag project, Operation Himmler, which was designed to create the appearance of Polish aggression against Germany, which was subsequently used to justify the invasion of Poland.

No, the spector of the Soviet military collapsing is fresh in the minds of the post-collapse generals and they recognize the same thing that killed them in '90/1 is killing them now - the Russian economy. I understand the generals were asking to invade continental Ukraine in April. They wanted to move in a lightening strike, effectively by-passing all the political rancor and sanctions. Didn't happen and Putin gave no reason.

Dear all,

Cell phones are down in Lugansk and i have not heard anything since Sunday very early in morning when friend went for a walk.

I heard from the Tweets that some people and some cars made a run for it yesterday up north, but at the end the Separatists stopped the flow and only 70 people and a few cars made it out.

I have this wishful thinking that my friend was one of those but from the 4 pix i saw, that person was not one of them.

Otherwise nothing to report from inside Lugansk.

Will update if i get any news at all.

Nope. All the assets held by the Suisse that are subject to American sanctions require the Suisse to honour those sanctions or get slammed for a fine like the French did for 9 billion USD. So the Suisse 'sanctioning' Russia is irrelevant-can't sanction the same entity twice, at the same time.

oh btw.
I talked with my friend yesterday, he's a so called veteran member of the Party of the Swedes (Neo-nazi party).

Skillt (The neo-nazi from Sweden that fights in Ukraine)
Told his neo-nazi pals, including my friend that it's a 80% chance that Kiev will fall in the coming months.
Depending on how well the siege goes.

He also told them that around 20-40 SWEDISH citizens are fighting in the Azov battalion and they fight for the white race.

The last thing he said was, if the entire Azov battalion gets ambushed/slain. The siege will fail just in days.

Seems to me he and his nazi chums would be better off protecting Gothenburg and Stockholm ...was absolutley shocked when I went there..same goes for Oslo...people think it's just londonistan and Paris...people need to get out more often..
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51160787


LOL what an IDIOT skillt is. He fights for the US/UE/IMF dictatorship, which have opened the borders of US and UE to nonwhites.

Sweden is invaded by mudslims and negroes, which rape the local swedish girls. Sweden is the rape capital of Europe after UE dictatorship opened the borders to mudslims and negroes, and the idiot skillt fights for the UE dictatorship. What an IDIOT !!

All these extremist groups are infiltrated. If you could actually find a KKK chapter to join in the US, 50% of the members would be FBI and on payroll. I'd be surprised if its not the same every where and in Sweden.

Exactly! It's a fact Eric Holder was supplying guns to Mexican Drug Cartels. Probably helps them smuggle terrorist and drugs also.

The article makes many interesting points.

Also on Thursday, Putin’s very own version of Banquo’s ghost came back to haunt him from England, where a judge opened a high-level official inquiry into the 2006 radioactive poisoning death of ex-KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko. (The suspects are Russian agents, one of them now a member of Putin’s toy parliament.)
...
In Eastern Ukraine, on the other hand, widespread distrust of the new pro-Western government in Kiev did not translate into separatist sentiment: in a Pew poll in April, secession was viewed as a permissible option by only 18 percent of the region’s population and 27 percent of its Russian speakers.
...
The fact that the leadership of the two pseudo-republics was dominated by Russian citizens—often with ties to Russia’s “special services” and with vaguely comical backgrounds of political spin doctor or battle-reenactment hobbyist—didn’t help boost their credibility. Neither did their record of kidnappings and other thuggish actions.
...
A few days ago, Kommersant columnist Andrei Kolesnikov—who, according to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty writer Brian Whitmore, “regularly travels with Putin and is often a conduit for messages from the regime's inner sanctum to the broader elite”—wrote that Putin will cut the insurgents loose if it turns out they are definitely responsible for downing the Malaysian airplane.
...
Even before the latest sanctions, there were reports, based on German intelligence sources, of a power struggle in the Kremlin between hardliners and business leaders. Early in July, a similar report of a split between “hawks” and “doves” within Russia’s power elites appeared in the Russian online newspaper Znak.com, which Russian online media analyst and Moscow Times columnist Victor Davidoff told me has connections to Kremlin insiders.

 Quoting: Skeptic the First

I wrote 2 months ago the Russian oligarchs will reach a point where they will collectively decide no more of their billions melting away will be tolerated at the hands of Putin and his Pyrrhic Ukraine follies. They will pay-off the generals, certain Duma figures will comprise the new leadership and the FSB will decide if it is to be a bloodless coup or, in fact, how much blood will be spilt.
