Ukraine: You Better Pay Attention - It’s Eventually Going to Play Out in North America.

Now, let me post a quote from a piece published today about Ukraine titled “Bloodlands”, and I will put in red brackets substitutions in the U.S. context -snip-:

…It is far more a criminal syndicate than a classic totalitarian regime. The tactics Yanukovych {the Obama regime} has employed as president — forging alliances with oligarchs (who have funded the president’s political party and also made him vastly wealthy personally); hiring gangs of brutes to cow potential opponents; assassinating opponents who didn’t get the message from the thugs or who refused to kowtow; aggregating power in the hands of a single party held together by greed, the lust for power, and the fear of retribution; the thoroughgoing corruption of the justice system and the courts; the eventual strangulation of parliament {Congress} — were all previewed in the late 1990s and the early years of the new century when Yanukovych was governor of the Donetsk oblast in eastern Ukraine {an Illinois state representative and then U.S. Senator}. There, Yanukovych {Obama} honed his capacity to acquire, and then hold on to, a form of power that is cemented together by personal loyalties, financial cupidity, and fear rather than by any common ideology. Call it clan politics; call it Mafia politics; call it whatever you like, only don’t call it “democratic.” Yanukovych {the Obama regime} may have come to power through the formal mechanisms of democracy (although the legitimacy of recent elections in Ukraine {the former United States} is certainly open to doubt). But as EuroMaidan leaders {screeching American harpies} such as former world heavyweight champion Vitaliy Klychko {Ann Barnhardt} have long insisted, Yanukovych {the Obama regime} has destroyed constitutional governance in Ukraine {the former United States}, and Ukraine {the now-overthrown United States} can no longer be considered a democracy.

Not really self-destructive. Rather, rock solid integrity. She closed her business after MF Global stole all the clients money. The courts said, “That’s fine”. She knew she would be putting her customers in undue risk.....and closed.

I stand corrected. Sometimes I forget that phone companies are known for objecting that people are involved in protests against oppression and let their customers know so. Yep, that does makes more sense.

IOW you don’t have any objective evidence that the Ukraine government sent out that message or even whether the message was sent at all. For all you know its social media generated propaganda.

Thanks for playing.

Nah. You ignored where the story said The NY Times reports that the "Ukrainian government used telephone technology..." and inserted your own reality. Like you said, thanks for playing. /sad trombone.

The oligarchs have a well stocked plan for their own sequester

Gated communities in the mountains, islands, mega-yachts. Plans for self-sufficiency. It's so much like THE TIME MACHINE. Survival of the fittest for the lower-98% (or so) of the population. It could happen.

Thanks to the modern cellphone technology there is a whole lot of rumours out there in Ukraine, and many of them make it all the way here to the New York Times which passes them off as facts, which are then parroted on Free Republic.

Lol...how do you say “bite me” in Latvian?

>How much unrest in Ukraine will Putin allow before intervening?<

Ukraine is of a size of France and has a population figure only slightly shorter.
Thus they have sold their nukes and carriers to Russia in earlier 1990s, I think Ukrainian military is still the strongest in continental Europe.
It is not Georgia or Grenada.

Crunch time will come after the Olympics. Historically, countries have been on their best behavior when they hosted the games. All eyes should be on Russia/Ukraine after the Olympics end.
