US intelligence: No direct link to Russia in Malaysia plane downinghttp://rt.com/usa/174796-intelligence-malaysia-plane-mh17-us/Unnamed US officials are telling Associated Press that their intelligence suggests Malaysia plane shot down by anti-Kiev militia, no link to Russia found. Looks like the US is moving to the second stage: "if you can no longer maintain a lie, twist the truth" Bogus photos of ‘Russian’ air-defense systems in Ukraine debunked by bloggershttp://rt.com/news/174868-ukraine-buk-falsification-continues/Ukraine continues to concoct evidence of Russia’s air defense system’s involvement in the Boeing tragedy. This time Ukraine’s secret service has published as ‘proof’ month–old photos of Kiev’s own Buk-M missile system, claiming it is Russian. Yes, definitely, we are in the "twist the truth" stage. Russia just needs to wait a little longer and continue doing nothing for the truth to come out. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Hunted down Ukrainian soldier
Ukraine army conscript, Sergey Paschenko, has got into hot water after publishing a selfie against several Buk-M vehicles he was assigned to guard on his social network page VKontakte.
Blogosphere inhabitants immediately called him “separatist” and “Russian terrorist,” and threatened to kill him. The flow of insults forced Paschenko to delete the photo from his page.
But it was already too late as even the British Daily Mail newspaper in the UK had published an article on him, accompanied by his hapless Buk-M photo.
“Is this the smoking gun? This picture has emerged of a pro-Russian rebel posing in front of the same type of Buk missile launcher that is believed to have shot down MH17,” said the Daily Mail caption to the photo.
Those who pointed out that a Ukrainian soldier cannot be a “Russian terrorist” at the same time were largely ignored.

Kiev is know to make statements, that can only be treated as jokes, otherwise they simply border on the absurd. So: Kiev blames "Gazprom" for the reduction of reverse gas deliveries from EU countries: http://www.gazeta.ru/business/news/2014/07/23/n_6334465.shtmlAnd Jatsenjuk says that Kiev will impose sanctions against Russia (or at least those Russians who voice their support for freedom fighters). They even established a special committee which task is to develop the range of sanctions to be imposed against Russia: http://ria.ru/politics/20140723/1017196525.htmlOne can only laugh reading this stuff. And, of course, one question comes to mind: Have you paid for the gas yet?

Ukrainian Supreme Rada acceted a law that will allow to disperse the Communist Party of Ukraine: http://ria.ru/world/20140722/1017046501.htmlThis is the only party that is opposing full-scale manslauther in the East. Also remember, that one of the first things Hitler did, when he came to power was to disband the opposition parties, Communist party included. Poroshenko has been instructed well by his American masters. Poroshenko's law of partial mobilisation got approved by Rada: http://www.gazeta.ru/politics/news/2014/07/22/n_6330593.shtmlIt is interesting to note that Poroshenko holds the record for the number of derived derogatory modifications of his surname (most politicians in Russia and Ukraine have a name coined up for them): Potroshenko (the ripper, butcher) Porosenko (of a pig) Parashenko (of toilet shit) ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Putin is one of the few current politicians, who acts cool-headed, balanced and non-confrontational, even in the face of provocations. An interesting read in this new article: http://www.forbes.ru/news/263457-putin-ne-uvidel-pryamoi-ugrozy-suverenitetu-rossiiPutin does not see any direct threat to Russia's sovereignty and territorial integrity, citing the current balance of strategic power in the world. He however, says that in the face of the increased NATO build-up at the Russian borders, Russia should gradually improve its defensive capabilities.

As for constitution, Russia has several - the Federal one, and constitution for each of the subjects. Also, decide if you want strong Russia with strong constitution or not, because each time Russia becomes stronger, we start seeing the blamestorm and demonization in the Western media, as we see now. British media portrayed Russia positively only twice during the recent times: in 1917 and in 1991, both times Russia was weak, on the verge of collapse.
A federal constitution ? Seem pretty a west inspired thing ? isn't it ? And your point is? Russia is a Federation. It was actually a federation during the Soviet time - Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, or RSFSR - the least known republic in the Soviet Union. Or do you want to say that the Western-style Federative structure is crap and USA, Germany, Switzerland should abolish it? As for constitution, Russian Federation is on a road to strengthening it, which displeases a lot of the Western lobby. §15, for example, says that international obligations, commitments and laws have precedents over Russian national laws. This is detrimental to the country and was, for example, used two years ago by the American transnats to push through a law permitting GMO in Russia. A representative from the American embassy was then present at all Parliamentary hearings, making sure that proper decisions were reached. Russia is well on the way to reverse that trend (anti-GMO laws, that equate GMO to nuclear and chemical waste, that are being passed at the moment are a testament to it). I have a feeling that Russia will say good-bye and good riddance to WTO soon as well. Now, can we, please, get back on topic? If you want to discuss/bash Russia, please open a separate topic for that.

Kiev is on the rampage again: Ukraine air force strikes 30km from plane crash site despite ban - reportshttp://rt.com/news/174616-ukraine-airstrike-crash-site/The Ukrainian air forces have carried out a missile strike in 30 kilometers from the Malaysian MH17 plane crash site – despite the 40-kilometer ceasefire, Ria Novosti news agency reported.
...
About 11.30 local time (8.30 GMT), two Ukrainian military planes, thought to be Su-25s, were spotted in the skies above the town of Shakhtersk, which is 30 kilometers from the crash site.
Missiles hit a field near the town - one of them exploded 200 meters from a check-point, according to a Ria Novosti correspondent.
...
A group of 12 Malaysian experts and officials witnessed an artillery attack from Ukrainian forces on their way to Donetsk on Monday, according to the militia in the east. Fire from Grad artillery is also heard around the site. Putin: West should demand Kiev obey ceasefire during plane crash probehttp://rt.com/news/174652-ukraine-plane-crash-ceasefire/In the meantime: An Op-Edge with OSCE spokesperson for the Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine, Michael Bociurkiw ‘Ukraine self-defense cooperate as intl experts arrive at MH17 crash site’http://rt.com/op-edge/174536-osce-ukraine-crash-plane/

The black boxes will clearly not reveal any incriminating evident against the rebel, otherwise they won't have hand it back so easily.
On the other hand it could mean that the rebels have nothing to hide and the evidence is already in the hands of the Russians ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Who will be able to prove someone manipulated it if the report says something different (although I don't think its easy to manipulate a black box) Those boxes are sealed. They were reported by the freedom fighters to be in good condition, which probably means that they are not broken, which in turn means that they have no idea what's stored inside. Besides, it's not like you can just open the box and read the data off a harddisk... Expertise at interpreting that data is needed.

Russian hospital: Wounded Ukraine army soldiers cross to Russian territory, where their ENEMY takes care of them in hospitals, since their own army either finishes off the wounded, or just leaves them behind.

http://futuristrendcast.wordpress.com/2014/07/21/fast-track-to-wwiii-usas-goal-is-to-overturn-putin/This is not just another crisis. We are dealing with those who are trying to start a full-scale hot war in Europe. Putin’s caution is understandable, and frankly, so is the caution of the EU leaders. 300 people were just sacrificed to the mad attempt to start WWIII. This has to be absolutely clear. I am convinced that some on the ground actually thought they were shooting Russian Presidential plane! Think about it, it would have been so much easier to convince some angry (at Russia and Putin) Ukrainian to shoot down Putin’s plane than a plane full of innocent bystanders from the EU!
If Putin’s plane were to be shot down – it would mean immediate declaration of war! We know who desperately wants this to happen, and who doesn’t! Of course, Putin’s security would never allow the plane to be flown over Ukraine, but someone there was told/thought it was the case. THEY want Russia to start a war with Ukraine, plain and simple! It is up to Europeans to engage and restore balance and justice, if you want it done quickly and peacefully! Europe, by its harmful and unnatural position of siding with the US warmongers against Russia, which against all odds is trying to keep world peace, is what is allowing this conflict to escalate. IF Europeans didn’t happily acquiesce to the subservient symbiosis with the US, many of the atrocities in Ukraine could have been avoided, and many lives could have been saved. IF EU didn’t support and encourage the Kiev junta, Kiev oligarchs wouldn’t be this bold and US wouldn’t dare escalate the situation so openly. Look what happened in Syria when the EU refused to participate!
Russia can continue fighting this alone, but it will be a long and arduous journey. Unless you, Europeans, make your governments act in YOUR best interests! PS: I started seeing the signs in April, in this Bitcointalk thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=584031.0

Russia is NOT trying to start WW3. Obama is doing far more harm to America than a war. If they really want a war they will wait till his cabal is out. However Russia does need a ground route to its southern ports in
Well, Russia started WW2 by pushing Hitler to invade Poland and agreeing to split it between Germany & Russia. Let Hitler and Europe destroy themselves then Russia takes all of Europe. Too bad the Japanese spoiled their plans by bombing Pearl Harbor. They're doing the same thing by arming & pushing the separatist to fight whille denying knowledge. I guess it's between the devil we know and the devil we don't or at least America's atrocities are in limited warfare and not responsible for global warfare eg. Agent Orange, white phospherous incendiary bombs in Vietnam killing thousands, maybe more if we consider the effects lingering for many generations. [sarcasm]That's the best revisionist rewrite of WWII history that I've ever seen. [/sarcasm] DO NOT POST SESC LINKS Written by an American, who understands what is going in: Then help us all god, or perhaps I should say – humans will get what they deserve? Perhaps humans don’t deserve peace; perhaps they can only learn from war. I do understand Paul’s frustration better and better. Let’s just remember: this kind of reaction to their provocations is EXACTLY what the US wants. And since we are almost exactly 100 years into the future from the start of WWI in 1914, let me remind you all that this is exactly how escalation to WWI happened! And this is exactly how escalation to WWII happened. The brainless British Empire and USA kept bullying, provoking, appeasing and buying off Hitler, despite Stalin’s attempts for years to create and anti-fascist alliance with the West. They kept nudging Hitler to attack USSR, hoping their two biggest rivals – Germany and Russia (USSR) will destroy each other. The escalation that lasted several years, culminated in WWII. http://futuristrendcast.wordpress.com/2014/07/21/fast-track-to-wwiii-usas-goal-is-to-overturn-putin/

So Russia never do anything for freedom... No human right, no rule of law, no thinking of freedom, no strong constitution
Do you really think with Russian philosophy this site would exist ?
False, false, false, and false. You know, I believe that a site like this one would exist. You seem to be mixing up concepts of freedom of speech and freedom to defame and slander. The first does not imply the second. Yet, if you go to news.rambler.ru or rt.com, you'd see that comments remain uncensored and many of them are, mildly speaking, derogatory of Putin. As for constitution, Russia has several - the Federal one, and constitution for each of the subjects. Also, decide if you want strong Russia with strong constitution or not, because each time Russia becomes stronger, we start seeing the blamestorm and demonization in the Western media, as we see now. British media portrayed Russia positively only twice during the recent times: in 1917 and in 1991, both times Russia was weak, on the verge of collapse.
Now, on to some news: Pentagon does not believe the version that Boeing was shot by Ukrainian army: http://ria.ru/world/20140721/1016963672.htmlThe above disbelief is based solely on the following statement by Perto Poroshenko that it's not true and that no one should believe the Russian Ministry of Defence: http://www.bfm.ru/news/266066That's the same Poroshenko, who promised not to shell Lugansk and Donetsk, where hundreds of civilians were killed by shells over the last days. OSCE experts have full access to the crash site: http://www.interfax.ru/world/387020Here is more about that Su-25, that was spotted prior to disappearance of 777: http://www.kommersant.ru/doc/2530143In the meantime, the Czech president raised his voice against new sanctions against Russia: http://ria.ru/world/20140721/1016968317.html

It is quite telling to see the amount of Russia bashing in this thread alone, and the fact that Russia, again as usual, has to put itself into a defensive position. In a way Russia-bashers' actions speak against their words. But is it so bad being pro-Russian, history has shown that it's synonymous to being pro-freedom, pro-independence, pro-truth, anti-fascist.
What the fuck Russian has do for freedom for 3 century ? Nothing... Near of all freedom philosopher come from the west. We can start with Tatar-Mongol invasion and the fact that Russia took the brunt of it sparing the Western Europe. We can mention the Polish invasion of 1600, Tevtonic invasion of 1742, the French invasion of 1812, the French-British invasion of 1854, the Polish and Western intervention of 1917-1920, the German invasion of 1940-1945. The WWI is an exception. Russia didn't have any claims in the war, but was obliged to enter it to defend Serbia, which which it had a treaty, and which received an impossible ultimatum from Austria. While the West was philosophising about peace and freedom, and conducting an occasional crusade or an invasion, Russia was busy deflecting said invasion against itself or its allies. Sorry for a continuation of an off-topic. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Reposting the important news from a few minutes ago and two pages back to stay on topic (3 attempts to post the national pride is heated ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ): Ukrainian Su-25 fighter detected in close approach to MH17 before crash - Russian militaryhttp://rt.com/news/174412-malaysia-plane-russia-ukraine/The Russian military detected a Ukrainian SU-25 fighter jet gaining height towards the MH17 Boeing on the day of the catastrophe. Kiev must explain why the military jet was tracking the passenger airplane, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
“A Ukraine Air Force military jet was detected gaining height, it’s distance from the Malaysian Boeing was 3 to 5km,” said the head of the Main Operations Directorate of the HQ of Russia’s military forces, Lieutenant-General Andrey Kartopolov speaking at a media conference in Moscow on Monday.
“[We] would like to get an explanation as to why the military jet was flying along a civil aviation corridor at almost the same time and at the same level as a passenger plane,” he stated.
“The SU-25 fighter jet can gain an altitude of 10km, according to its specification,” he added. “It’s equipped with air-to-air R-60 missiles that can hit a target at a distance up to 12km, up to 5km for sure.”
The presence of the Ukrainian military jet can be confirmed by video shots made by the Rostov monitoring center, Kartopolov stated.

Russia wanted to be freinds. But it turned out that to be friends you need to sell all your national interests to transnats, and do exactly what US tells you to do, as during the Yeltsin sell-off of Russia.
What the fuck is the Russian "national" interest ? What the fuck is American national interest, and why is it located in Georgia, Turkey, Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Germany, France, Iraq, Afghanistan, the list goes on. The Russian national interest is located in Russia.

So you sold them to Russian oligarchs... I would say the problem is the oligarch, not where he comes from or what passport he bears. Look deeper. Was Berezovskij so "Russian", ending up in UK, was Gusinskij so "Russian" ending up in Spain. All oligarchs had foreign agenda.

Russian 'interests'
guess you are Russian then. This is all on Putin and company and anyone saying otherwise is as I said either Russian or a bootlicker. Which are you?
Most people here want the truth. However, according to you there is only one truth - the US truth, and anyone saying otherwise, even in the face of fact are "pro-Russian". (Note, not pro-Soviet, as many continue to mix up those things) But is it so bad being pro-Russian, history has shown that it's synonymous to being pro-freedom, pro-independence, pro-truth, anti-fascist.

Or as the famous picture says:
Ho, Russia need her Lebensraum ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Why Russia can't stop her paranoia and just become a friendly country ? Even China stopped systematic west bashing and want their young people go to the west to repair all the communist propaganda... Like said, what is that all about Europe vs Russia if Russia is in Europe? I understand that Russia was an attempt to create a 3rd Roman Empire, actually "Czar" is a "russification" of "Caesar", then they turn communists and yada yada... How about we just be friends for a change? Doesn't work? Russia wanted to be freinds. But it turned out that to be friends you need to sell all your national interests to transnats, and do exactly what US tells you to do, as during the Yeltsin sell-off of Russia. Or as the famous picture says. Russia has stayed more or less within its borders, actually losing a lot of territories during the 1917 coup d'etat. See who's on the course to expansion: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdemotivation.me%2Fimages%2F20140314%2Fg63fo1s5l8s0.jpg&t=663&c=Zo2UpNlh-ok6XQ)
