UKRAINE

RICHARD SANDERS—Such crimes are so huge that they cannot possibly be committed by just a few psychopathic individuals.  To orchestrate these horrors, widescale social complicity is required.  When bigotry and hatred become accepted and normalised within a culture, societies face the spectre of mass psychosis.  There are of course a million shades of grey within the cultural syndromes which accept racism, apartheid, slavery, imperialism and other forms of exploitation, hatred and abuse, as the norm.  Neither does such social madness happen suddenly.  It is a heavily institutionalised cultural process that creeps up slowly from behind our backs. 

THE SAKER—For the Novorussians, it’s now clear: the rump-Ukraine* does not want them, nor will Kiev ever agree to the Minsk Agreement.  That means that the LDNR will separate from the rump-Ukraine and, on time, rejoin Russia.  Good bye Banderites and Ukronazis!

ERIC ZUESSE—The kind of activity Biden was paid for through the shell company is not clear. There are no agreements, according to which Robert Hunter Biden should receive these payments.” Furthermore: “In total, according to our data from the report of Financial Intelligence Unit of Latvia, for the benefit of two shell-offshore companies, as well as Robert Hunter Biden with partners of the Burisma company, paid no less than 16.5 mln dollars.

MoA—President Obama was against giving weapons to Ukraine and never transferred any to Ukraine despite pressure from certain circles. Was Obama’s decision against U.S. national interest? Where are the Democrats or deep state members accusing him of that? Which brings us to the really critical point of the whole issue. Who defines what is in the “national interest” with regards to foreign policy?

ERIC ZUESSE—The U.S. regime, clearly, wanted the land [of Crimea), not  the people who were living on it. The expectation, as soon as Ukraine was under U.S. control from the coup, had been that America would get the entirety of Ukraine, including Crimea; but, then, Russia’s Vladimir Putin stepped in and protected Crimeans who were clamoring to hold a referendum in order to express their collective will on this matter; and this referendum was held, on 16 March 2014, and it produced over 90% voting for Crimea to be a part of Russia, such as Crimea had been before Khrushchev transferred it to Ukraine.
