UKRAINE

RUSSELL BENTLEY—That neo-nazi terrorists in the Prosecutor General’s Office are investigating me for “terrorism” because I have defended the citizens and civilians of Donbass from Kiev’s own genocide and ethnic cleansing programs is the the apex of hypocrisy and cynicism, a real life example of the comic book “Bizarro World” where everything is the exact opposite of what it is supposed to be.

THE SAKER—he world is headed for war and has been headed that way for quite a while now.  Several times, just at the brink, the West decided to pull back, but each time it did that, its ruling elites felt two things: first, they felt even more hatred for Russia for forcing them to back down, and, second, they interpreted the fact that no shooting war happened (yet) as evidence, at least in their minds, that standing on the brink of war is a pretty safe exercise.

Alexander Mercouris discusses the probable reasons for the top-level meeting between the CIA’s chief and his Russian counterpart. It’s clear the Russians told the Americans clearly that their kind of provocations canot and will not go unpunished indefinitely.

The senselessness and even harmfulness of relations with the current leaders of Ukraine also lies in the fact that ignorant and unnecessary people are at the head of this country. They are constantly changing their position to please their overseas masters and the political situation. This is how they understand the art of diplomacy. Homegrown Talleyrands. They sign the Minsk agreements, negotiate in the “Normandy format”, and then — after internal turmoil in the Rada, on the square or the Central Office from across the ocean-they turn their position in a completely different direction. Yes, compromises are possible in politics, sometimes some deviations from the established line, but not to the extent that the agreed approach changes to the diametrically opposite one.

ANDRE VLTCHEK—The area of Eastern Ukraine that they – the corpses – are now leaving, is full of local victims, too – those civilian victims of ethnic cleansing, whose only fault is that their maternal tongue happened to be Russian, or that they do not or cannot live in a country run by the pro-Western fascist dictatorship of the ‘Chocolate King’, Poroshenko, and his gangsters.

Many people in Eastern Ukraine of Russian ethnicity have suffered terribly as a result of Kyev’s brutal offensive, but their suffering is systematically ignored by the Western media.

Now civilians are dying, every day. That does not bother the Western regime. Killing the rebels, their families and neighbors, is encouraged. Burning people in Odessa, burning them alive, is not even criticized in the lackey corporate media. The entire debate and coverage of events has become grotesque and sick.
