Russia Accuses US Mercenaries Of Inciting Civil War In Ukraine
Zero Hedge ^ | 7 April 2014 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 04/07/2014 7:08:08 PM PDT by Errant

In response to claims by the Ukraine government (and the west) that Russia provoking trouble in Eastern Europe - with The White House's Jary Carney even suggesting that pro-Russia demonstrators were paid - Russia's foreign ministry has responded. Posting via their Facebook page, Russia urged Ukraine to halt any interior military preparations which could instigate a civil war. But the kicker, for which we anxiously await a rebuttal, is Russia's comment that they "are particularly concerned that the operation involves some 150 American mercenaries."

“Putin is a former KGB agent who oversaw the Most brutal monsters called Stasi who murdered and tortured German fleeing Communism”

Uhhh...
You do know that Putin wasn’t appointed to Dresden in East Germany until after Gorbachev was Premier, right?

Putin was part of the “Andropov Levy”, a young group recruited to the KGB by Andropov, who saw the Soviet Union collapsing from within, to help reform it from the inside.

He was not a “Golden Boy” being groomed for higher office, like Ivanov was. As such, he was an outsider, not part of the nomenklatura. Putin never served in the central apparatus of any of these entities, and he never rose to the KGB’s highest ranks during his official service. His formal postings in the KGB were always on the periphery, in Leningrad and in Dresden.

He supported Yeltsin during the coup, even though he despised the Oligarchs then in power.

Learn about the guy, then you may begin to understand why he is doing the things that he is.

It is CLEAR that those advising Obama haven’t done this, or more likely, Obama isn’t listening, and is trying to apply the same tactics to Putin that he has used successfully against everyone else.

Nice list. Here's some reading for you. Putin's Big Lie On Ukraine (If It Weren't So Serious It Would Be Funny)

Complimenting Putin (because he makes Obama look bad) is ridiculous to me. That is what I've been commenting on. The guy is a KGB thug. To give him even a back-handed compliment is not cool in my book. It's your prerogative, of course, to do so....but I'm going to point out that I think it's bad form to compliment that trash.

Everything you wrote is exactly the same as BO and this administration in how it operates.....as does the EU/NATO. If a nations leaders do not play in their ball-park, according to their agenda, then they take them out via revolutions and various other means. Egypt, though they failed there, Libya, Syria are all prime examples....and Russia of course.

Russia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, are all nation states who ‘refuse’ to go along with the Eu/Nato/Us Globalist Agenda to set up World Governance. When they don't comply under “other” pressures, such as human rights, environmental issues and the like...then they will use the measures we see playing out now in Ukraine.

When you rise above the people of the nations, and their sincere desires for freedom, to the level of actual powers who are operating in all nations, on the ground, with their politicians they can and do manipulate, then you can see the whole picture.

If you only observe what the people are saying you will miss entirely the agenda's and the push from those who are outside the nations creating the chaos for their own advantage.

There is a very real strategic war going on..and it's being fought by proxy, and this orchestrated, funded and devised by those our mainstream news will not or cannot report of.

What you are failing perhaps to see is Russia is being opposed because Putin will not go along to play in their court...why do you think Brics was formed? And the Eurasia group? Not to mention China's moves on our country and throughout the world, who also oppose the Eu/Nato/US agenda.

There are land grabs going on all over, for the resources each nation can bring to the table of those who stand to gain by doing so...and it's not about the welfare of the people. Have you not questioned why Germany is reluctant to stand with the EU....Merkle's tired of playing the role of "savior" economically to the EU's failures....or why Britain's opposing the EU and the tension in their country for that.

The world IS at war, but it's all about economics, land and resources...."Joining" one or another of their "clubs" as a nation pits you immediately against who they are opposing.

BTW are you aware that Henry Kissinger and Condoleeza Rice, are among key individuals in the US who are acting in tandem with the IMF, the Kiev government, in consultation with the White House, and the US Congress concernign Ukraine?

I have one observation. For about the last two decades, almost every single time our government has had to explain a world event to us, It has been a baldfaced lie.
The US media is 99% compliant in supporting these lies.

Only the existence of the internet, and sites like FR have allowed us to know how much we are lied to.
It is almost the -only- consistent thing about our government.

And now, they are “telling” us what is occurring in Ukraine.

The only sane thing is to understand that the precise opposite is probably true, and that conservatives are being cynically played by appealing to their Cold War service patriotism.

Website politikus.ru reported, on the night of 2-3, the flight landed at the airport Borispol and Zhuliany , Ukraine carrying many men in civilian clothes but carrying large bags (similar to type bag that the U.S. military used to store equipment).

All these people were identified as employees of private security companies Greystone Limited. It is a subsidiary of Vehicle Services Company LLC (which is a private security company Blackwater USA’s notorious was renamed in 2009). Currently, the number of employees of this company in Ukraine is said to be up to 300 people.

The presence of the security personnel are specially trained in Ukraine this will enhance protection for the new administration in the area east and southeast, where the anti-government protests erupted powerful new .

Putin , as we know, doesn’t care much for Obama, putting it mildly. Zero regard for him as a President. But then the EU doesn’t care for him either, they do however give him recognition to be “polite” for they know he’ll be done, and not soon enough.

Tass 4/7:

The Russian Foreign Ministry urged Ukraine to halt any interior military preparations, which could instigate a civil war in the country.

“According to our information, units of the Interior troops and Ukraine’s national guards as well as militants from the illegal armed formation ‘The Right Sector’ are being amassed in the southeastern parts of Ukraine and in the city of Donetsk,” the ministry said.

“We are particularly concerned that the operation involves some 150 American mercenaries from a private company Greystone Ltd., dressed in the uniform of the [Ukrainian] special task police unit Sokol,” the ministry said.

“Putin , as we know, doesn’t care much for Obama, putting it mildly. Zero regard for him as a President.”

Putin respects the Eastern idea of the “tough” man, who takes a beating and wins, or dies trying. Ask American MMA fighter Anthony Ruiz about this:
“How Russian President Vladimir Putin Changed One MMA Fighter’s Life” http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1990285-how-russian-president-vladimir-putin-changed-one-mma-fighters-life

In America, we used to call that “Macho”, or “machismo”, before it was vilified and made politically-incorrect by our now largely gay-run media. And you wonder why they laugh at us?

You have to know about the man, before you can start to predict his moves. We used to have intelligence analysts for that.
