Yatsenjuk was yesterday in Germany, grovelling before Merkel to give him €500 million of EU taxpayers' money so as to continue the genocide in Novorossia. She promised to give guarantees of possible payments by some or another bank.

But was not the biggest issue. The biggest thing was Yatsenjuk's speech, where here said that Soviet Union attacked Germany and Ukraine in WWII. The magnitude of the lie and twisting is mind-boggling, exceeding many a lie uttered by the words NATO-trolls on internet. Russian Ministry of Foreign affairs decried the blatant falsification of history and asked Germany for an official clarification of their stance with regard to Yatsenjuk's statement.

But of course...

German govt refuses to comment on Ukrainian PM’s assertions about WW II history
http://itar-tass.com/en/world/770579

The Ukrainian prime minister, who has been appointed to this position by Nuland(Nudelman) even befor eUSA conducted the Nazi coup d'etat in Ukraine in February 2014, has in essence made two lies and one admission in his statement:

Lie 1: Soviet Union did not attack Germany.
Lie 2: Ukraine was a part of Soviet Union, and, before that a part of Russia under the names of Novorossia and Malorossia, and could not be thus attacked by USSR.
Admission: Galicia was not at that time a part of USSR, it was annexed to Ukraine by Stalin after WWII. But Galicia was known as "Ukraine" (edge) of Austra-Hungarian empire. By saying that USSR attacked "Ukraine", Yatskenjuk acknowledges, that Glaicia was Ukraine, while Malorossia and Novorossia were not (they did the attacking as part of USSR). Incidentally, all of the current toxic ultra-nationalism in Ukraine comes from Galicia.

1/6 of total The Earth's Land is Russia.

Unfortunately it is not fertile/cultivated.
Russia still depends on the EU for importing food.

A lot of it is fertile, but not cultivated, and something is done about it now, reverting the destructive agricultural policy, inherited from Yeltsin era.
Russia depends on import, yes, but not from EU. Whatever it imported from EU is easily replaced by imports from other countries. It is more of a case of EU being dependent on exports to Russia - why else would Russia be beating away smuggling attempts from EU?
Btw, you'll notice quite a large number of foodstuff on EU store shelves to be imported as well. Wink

It looks like Ukraine is intensifying its genocidal action in Novorossia using the French terror attack as media cover.

Donetsk was shelled over 30 times today. Several buildings destroyed, including one 5-storie building that was standing since 1949, since after the rebuilding Nazi-German occupation.

11th Russian humanitarian aid convoy reached Donetsk and Lugansk today. The main cargo is food, continuing to avert mass famine of people there. There are also Christmas gifts for children of Donbass.

I am all against what happened in France, it's one more example that if people were independently-thinking, atheists not subject to one or another "imaginary friend" indoctrination, the world would have been a happier place.

On the other hand, I can't but help thinking about the reaction to the event and the scales:
12 people were killed killed in Paris, and the world cries in outrage, demonstrations of support are everywhere (as they should be, for example in Russia: http://itar-tass.com/en/world/770521)
Over 5000 people killed in Donabss, people burnt alive in Odessa, over 600000 driven from their homes, two 1-million-sized cities are shelled from artillery every day, several smaller cities raised to the ground, and Europe smiles benevolently, talks with the perpetrators at high summits and pretends as if it is the norm in Europe.

Yatsenjuk is to meet Merkel tomorrow. CyberBerkut launched an attack on German computer resources, trying to draw attention to the possibility of EU tax money being used to wholesale slaughter of people of Novorossia.

Ukrainian hacktivists block German government websites
http://rt.com/news/220515-hacking-ukraine-german-government/

Quote
CyberBerkut say that Prime Minister Yatsenyuk intends to use billions of dollars of aid from the European Union and International Monetary Fund to continue to wage war in the east of the country, which has already killed thousands of people. The Ukrainian government intends to review its national budget by February 15.

“That's why we appeal to all people and the government of Germany to stop financial and political support of the criminal regime in Kiev, which unleashed a bloody civil war,” the organization said on its website. “This war has already taken thousands of lives, and Yatsenyuk will kill more for your money!” they added.

Also, from November:

Quote
According to the hacktivists, who made the documents public on Tuesday, the Ukrainian military has recently been asking for and been promised financial support from the United States, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The hackers claimed they obtained the confidential State Department documents by breaking into a mobile device belonging to one of the American delegation's members, who had traveled to Ukraine together with US Vice President Joe Biden. The US politician visited Kiev on November 20-21.

In March 2014, the group claimed responsibility for taking down three NATO websites in a series of DDoS attacks. The group criticized NATO for stirring up turmoil in Ukraine and helping the “Kiev junta” suppress freedom of speech.

NATO has been supplying the kiev junta with GRAD's and cluster munitions, directly aiding the junta in their wholesale slaughter of Eastern Ukrainian civilians.

Thanks Obama! Thanks NATO! Thanks Merkel..   

http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2015/01/07/391982/NATO-giving-Ukraine-cluster-bombs

They are also supplying Kiev with Pion firing systems:
http://worldweapon.ru/tank/pion.php

These are useless against scattered resistance positions, so the expected result will be that the operators will be firing at easily-visible targets: residential multi-storie houses.



About 500 policemen from Harkov refused to be sent to the zone of American Terrorist Operation (ATO) and have been fired from the ranks. The scumbags that usurped power in Kiev are flavouring it as if these policemen are cowards, but in reality, they are the true heroes  of Ukraine, as it tajes a great deal of courage to say no to civil war and to face the very real repression from the hand of the Nazi junta.

Fortunately, Russian is not strong anymore, and it has no ability to invade other country .
With the continues low price of oil, Russian may collapse again.
That is good for everyone.

You just keep on believing it...  Cheesy

Norwegian Defence minister reported to the Parliament yesterday that Russia is not intending to do harm to Norway, despite the increased power, responsiveness and manoeuvrability of its army, whereas before Russian army was considered to be rather slow.

So those, who are in charge in the West are taking Russia seriously - why else do you think all this howling was raised in Natostan? Wink

Using their army is even more expensive. I think they would probably quickly run out of resources if they were to invade any major country, especially considering the trade sanctions that has recently been put upon them

I see that the sanctions hype is working for the Western audience, so the main goal is achieved by the US. Smiley

Oh, and a newsflash: Russia was not and still is not planning to invade anyone. Even in the face of the American/Nazi aggression in Ukraine, Russia still prefers diplomatic solutions, as was demonstrated by her actions over the last year.

As for resources, see my post above.

An interesting historical analysis:
http://ruspravda.info/K-100-letiyu-poyavleniya-ukraintsev.-Nayden-tochniy-otvet-na-vopros-skolko-let-nazad-poyavilis-ukraintsi-7534.html

The author followed the back issues of newspaper "Svoboda", a "Ukrainian" emigrant newspaper, and discovered that on the 13th of October 1014 the paper for the first time stopped referring to its audience as "Russian people" and replaced it with "Ukrainian people".

So Ukraine is only 100 years old and not 140000 years old as Soros-funded history books for Ukrainian schoolchildren claim.

Here's is a translation of the article below. Follow the link for the images of the newspaper back-issues.

Quote
How many years ago did Ukrainians appear?

Today I found the exact answer to the question, how many years ago, the Ukrainians appear. It turns out that the process of the emergence of Ukrainians as a people is documented, and in the pro-Ukrainian sources to boot.

In the United States, since 1893 there is published an emigre newspaper "Freedom" of pro-Ukrainian orientation. It is still published, and on the official website of the newspaper there is an archive of all its issues. I followed, when the newspaper first started writing about the Ukrainian people and found exactly the issue, where the word "Russian people", as the Ukrainians previously called themselves, suddenly changed to "Ukrainian people." Want to know what it was the date? Not a hundred years have passed, as one would say...

Here is the first edition of "Freedom" for the September 15, 1893. Yes, under the headline is a quote by Shevchenko. But still below the inscription: "Clear writing for Russian people in America". Russian, not Ukrainian!

Let's see another number for the same year. Similarly. For the Russian people. Even the language bears little resemblance to Ukrainian, but rather it is the Malorossian dialect of Old Russian. If someone from the Ukrainians do not believe me, you do go into the files, there are penty of the backissues, it's not fake. Each year it saw 50 issues, and then more later on. And nowhere in the issue for the 19th century is there mention of the Ukrainians. They call themselves Russian people.

And here is the number of the 20th century, with the January 4, 1900. "For Russian people", "Russian People's Union". They themselves are called.

Looking for an issue on January 1910. Then they say "body Ruthenian People's Union in the americium." Well, OK. "Ruthenian", "Russian", but in any case not Ukrainian.

And here it is, the latest release, which refers to the Russian people. For 13th October 1914. However, modestly referred to "R.N.". But in the upper right corner you can read the "Russian People's Union".

And in the next issue, on the 15th of October 1914, the abbreviation "R.N." has changed to "U.N.". And next to it it's written in English not "R", but "UKR". And in the top right corner of it it's already written "Ukrainian People's Union":

After that there is no mention of "Russian" or "Ruthenian people." Here's another number, the last in 1914, in this and all subsequent issues they write about Ukrainians.

From all this it can be concluded that Ukrainians were not 140 thousand years ago, but celebrate exactly 100 years in 1914. Until 1914, even they called themselves Russian people.

Military invasions are very expensive and will not necessarily work. The fact that they are largely shut out of the global market means they will have difficulty funding and gathering the necessary resources to supply their war machine

Should that become necessary, can you point out which resources Russia would lack and would need gathering? As for funding...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGOtFphPLzc

Maintaining an army as big as theirs is expensive. They probably can't wait to use, that's why they're flexing, flying their bombers to Britain, pushing on Ukrakine and performing maneuvers near the border.

You are putting the cart before the horse here. First, Russian military expenses are not that large, and the end-year reports were that they will be further reduced in 2015 - the military would be made more efficient by utilising the resources better.

Second, the "flexing" as you call it, is a standard military procedure for all countries designed to see how the opponents are doing. What do you think American military planes doing near the Russian border, and sometimes venturing into Russian airspace over the Pacific? Sightseeing? (A relevant read showing what this can lead to) Another such example is Georgian invasion of South Ossetia - one of its missions was for NATO to test Russian defences and response-readiness.

It's when Western MSM start blaring about these routine fly-bys is that you know that NATO/US is looking to an excuse to increase its military spendings...

And as for Ukraine... The anniversary of the US-lead violent coup d'etat is close, and the sooner USA gets the hell out of Ukraine, the better. Or does Russia need to start getting involved in Mexico?

But the movement the other way from Russia was not a happy migration either.
- My grandmother and her mother with father were also happy in 'not cold' Siberia... Russians wanted to kill our language, that's why they brought people here and natives to Siberia.

Russian people, as such, didn't want to kill Lithuanian, or any other language, but the Soviet leadership (which wasn't the same as leadership of Russia, RSFSR, as it was known back then) had this idea that for a better control over USSR, the population had to be more or less homogeneous. The uniform spreading of suffering, which also applied to Russians, so to say.  Undecided
Interestingly, both during the days of the Russian Empire, and within RSFSR local languages were preserved, and many of the northern and eastern minorities got new written forms of their languages courtesy Russian linguists, so that those people could keep their cultures alive.

Add to that an interesting remark in the newspapers yesterday, that it is not in Russia's interests to decrease oil production and that oil production will be held at the current level or higher. Couple it with the statement that the state budget for 2016 will use $40 as the base price and if I didn't know better, I'd say it was Russia that drove oil prices down. Smiley

Probably he refers the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Polish-Lithuaninan Commonwealth. So correct me if I'm wrong but you guys really seems to have some long experience of being independent Smiley.

this is different story, we can call it 'history'.

Yes, that's what I was referring to. And no, it's not a different story - history is what makes a country what it is. By the way, the Soviet era is also a "history" now. Wink

By the way, about that history... I wanted to write, why I put Soviet "occupation" in quotation marks. It was a very peculiar occupation, not like any before or after it. During a normal occupation, the occupying force will drain the occupied territory, pulling wealth and resources from it, removing much of the livelihood and usually leaving one type of production, so that the occupied territory would not be able to survive on its own should it try to break free. (Hint: EU strategy in Greece and the Baltic states Wink)

The opposite was happening during the Soviet era. Soviet Union invested a lot of money and resources into building up Baltic industry and agriculture. The living standard in the Baltics was much higher than in Russia. Moscow was considered to be the best supplied city in USSR, but when I first visited Riga and Vilnius in mid-80s, I was awe-struck at the abundance and the quality of life. It felt like having travelled abroad.

Yes, there were dark sides too, like the forced relocations of people that Gzhugashvili was so fond of. Many Lithuanians, Latvians were sent to Russia and other republics. But the movement the other way from Russia was not a happy migration either. People were told to pack and be ready to move in 48 hours, and didn't have any say in their fate, being forced to move to a colder and sour climate of the Baltics.

The family that I know in Lithuania came there much earlier, in the 1700s escaping the religious persecution of Peter the Great after the church reform in Russia. They are "old faithers", who came to Lithuania when it was much more tolerant, compared to today. Two interesting observations. They were forced to change their surname from Russian-style "-ov" to Lithuanian style "-ovajte" in the beginning of 1900s. And the woman that is almost like an aunt to me, told me that when when was finishing an institute, she had top marks in all subjects, aiming for "red diploma". She didn't get it - the examiner in Lithuanian language gave her "4", telling her outright that a Russian cannot get a top-mark in Lithuanian (never mind that the family lived in Lithuania for 250 years and that she speaks Lithuanian better than most, and that it's her Russian that actually is heavily-accented).

Oliver Stone's New Movie: "Ukraine: The CIA Coup" Coming To A Theater Near You

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-01-02/oliver-stones-new-movie-ukraine-cia-coup-coming-theater-near-you

Oliver Stone once said in an interview to Pozner, that he is not pro-Russian, but pro-American. And that is true, as Oliver Stone has the characteristics of Sakharov and Solzhenicin, who strongly criticized Soviet Union, but were not anti-Russian.

In the article above, there were several comments from reader "Paveway IV". What I liked about them is that he managed to keep a neutral ground, something that is difficult to do in these charged times. I'd like to quote them here:

From http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-01-02/oliver-stones-new-movie-ukraine-cia-coup-coming-theater-near-you#comment-5618239

Quote
Ukraine is in a very interesting postion today, militarily speaking. The government does not represent Ukraine or the average Ukrainian, so the average Ukrainian has no desire to fight for them OR kill any other Ukrainians FOR their supposed government. Ukraine mass-media blew the whole flag-waving promotion thing because Ukrainians don't equate their flag or nation with the CIA-plants, NATO stooges, Jewish-Ukrainian oligarchs, neo-Nazis, Rothschild bankers and assorted foreigners that currently make up their government.

And you're not going to get a lot of ethnic-Russian or Russian-speaking soldiers to go out and kill other Ukrainians simply BECAUSE they're ethnic-Russians or Russian-speaking and/or don't like Kiev. That's like 2/3rds of the country. The Ukrainian Army would have turned on their government by now if the interior ministry thugs weren't better armed than them.

That's why the current CIA stooges running Ukraine are relying on

  •      Gangs of armed nationalist (neo-Nazi) thugs who fight for their own ends
  •      Private armies for pay - mercs - of the Jewish-Ukrainian oligarchs protecting their wealth and influence
  •      Blackwater/Xe/Academi/Greystone homicidal psychopaths that kill for fun and pay - usually for NATO
  •      Poles, Bulgarians, Latvians and any other unemployed and otherwise willing East Europeans
  •      The few Ukrainian conscripts that don't immediately dessert when assigned to the Anti-Terror Operations (ATO) area - the Donbass.
The separatists are not in much better shape - they're increasingly fighting for destroyed urban areas that nobody is ever planning on returning to. There is no infrastructure, no jobs, no pensions, no schools, no nothing. There's no reason to rebuild. The cities that are still standing are taken over by assorted criminal gangs, thugs and crazy mercs, plus the occasional aid shipment from Russia. The separatists may have won against Kiev, but their 'prize' is basically the Ukrainian version of modern-day Detroit. Anyone who did care about the place left a long time ago and is never coming back.

ZATO is insanely pissed. How can they start WWIII against Russia in Ukraine when neither Ukrainian side really exists and Putin isn't taking the bait? Everyone is on to the whole false-flag thing - that's not going to work anymore. This is bad for me, personally, because it means ZATO will have to rely on the worst possible option: move a bunch of missles close enough to Russia to force Putin to act. Once again, I have to rely on Putin to out-maneuver ZATO without resorting to Topol-Ms. One of these times, I won't be so lucky.

About fracking:

Quote
Shell even (supposedly) gave up on that for now - its not worth it. Shell has a secret fifty-year exploration and production license, so they'll just sit back and wait until the ethnic cleansing is complete and oil prices recover. I'm guessing by spring or summer of 2015 per suggestions that they could only hold oil prices down until around then.

Turning the Dnieper-Donbass basin into a depopulated, bombed-out hell-hole will make it all the easier when Shell and does go back (and they will). They need to dig up a lot of farms and throw the people out of a lot of little villiages otherwise. Dead or permanently fleeing citizens save them the trouble. Hell, even Poland is offering to 'take back' ethnic Poles living in the Donbass. If it looks like the Ukraine war is a stalemate, that's because it IS - on purpose. The residents need to be driven out like rats before the fracking can start.

http://m.strategic-culture.org/news/2014/07/06/donbass-russians-subject-...

Israel, of course, always has their American tax-dollar funded import-a-jew program going full steam. Kind of makes sense why Israel is so quiet about Nazis running around Kiev - if the war results in new Jewish settlers to drive out Palistinians, then what's a few dead goy?

    Many of those who left Donetsk, Luhansk and other rebel centers in Donbass for Israel “will never come back to Ukraine because in that particular area they will never have peace,” he said, again comparing the region to Gaza.

http://www.jpost.com/Diaspora/Jewish-leader-compares-eastern-Ukraine-to-...

Odd because there's just not that much cheap, recoverable gas in the Dnieper-Donbass basin. There's plenty of expensive, recoverable gas - that's about it.
A response to a phrase:
"...Your nazi friends in Kiev are IN POWER..."

Quote

I disagree completely, angel_of_joy.

The nationalist parties in Kiev have almost no power and have never done well politically. They do pretty much run state security out of the interior ministry and make up much of the Kiev city police, but in both cases that's by design of the current criminal oligarchs to protect their own power and loot in Kiev. Pravy Sector and Svaboda are never going to win any elections, so they settled (for now) with running what is effectively the Ukrainian Stazi. They see this as a gateway to further their power and influence in Ukraine - they're not doing it out of any love or admiration for the current disposable Ukraine government. Likewise, the current Ukrainian leaders protected by the new state police ultimately see their Stazi as disposable. Useful bodyguards and muscle for now, but kept on a very short leash and ultimately liquidated when they're no longer of use to TPTB. You know that's not going to end well - it never does.

rvborgh makes a good point about the existence of separatist ultra-nationalists. They're harder to identify as 'Nazi' because they're aligned with Russian interests, but they are psychopathic ultra-nationalists all the same. A lot of the original separatist fighters have deserted directly because of the presence and influence of these ultra-nationalists on 'their' side.

It's one thing to defend your home, farm or village from Kiev's troops. It's another thing entirely to carry on what amounts to a gang war of attrition between Ukrainian state thugs and separatist ultra-nationalist thugs for no discernible benefit beyond 'owning' a depopulated and ethnically-cleansed Ukrainian Detroit. Putin is right to support ethnic Russians in the Donbass the best he can while distancing himself from the current pro-Russian separatists and their questionable motives. He would rather let the ultra-nationalists (pro-Russian or not) be Ukraine's problem, not his.



In the light of the above, many know that I called Ukrainian National Guard for "Nazional Guard". That was done to show derisive attitude to what they were doing. Now the term can be used in earnest.

As of yesterday, the military branch of Right Sector has officially become the 55th battalion of the Nazional Guard. After training they will be dispatched to Donetsk.

Oh, and Minsk agreements are down the drain... Yesterday Kiev's forces shelled Donetsk 20 times! Both events show that the Kiev coup government has got a green light from their Washington handlers to further escalate the conflict.

And Lithuania has a long experience of being an independent state, so I can see that you'll manage fine - you just need to draw on that experience.
