Poroshenko vows to retain east Ukraine
AFP ^ | May 27, 2014

Posted on 05/26/2014 11:16:58 AM PDT by Tailgunner Joe

Billionaire oligarch Petro Poroshenko says he would not let rebel-held east Ukraine become another Somalia as he prepared to take over the presidency with a clear signal from Moscow that it is ready to work with his government.

Poroshenko has moved swiftly to stamp his authority as Ukraine's new leader after claiming victory in Sunday's presidential election, with partial results showing he trounced his rivals in the first round.

He said Ukraine would press on with an offensive to crush the pro-Russian separatists waging an insurgency in the eastern industrial belt, despite Moscow warning it would be a "colossal mistake".

"There are no talks with terrorists," the pro-Western tycoon and veteran politician told reporters on Monday.

"Their goal is to turn Donbass (east Ukraine) into Somalia. I will not let anyone do this to our state and I hope that Russia will support my approach."

Now confirmed that Pushy didn’t run. So this makes the 10th, or 11th time he has supposedly “fled to Russia”?

Now being reported that the KAMAZ that was hit was flying the Medical Service flag.

Lots of differing reports on the number killed, from 1 to 35.

And a serious war crime, if it is true about the flag.

“The Putin-media here at FR are Russian liars.”

I’m more than a little sick of the DailyKos-style debate tactics of the Obama/Euromaidan trolls.

Disagreement about THE FACTS of an issue isn’t Putin-Media, or Putinistsa, or anything else. I’ve been called a LOT of names, and worse, for trying to find out what is really going on, or posting info from sources not Maidan-approved. (these people have even called the BBC or AFP (Putinista Propaganda) and that is something, in the entire decade+ I have been here, was strictly verboten.

So why is it allowed to stand now?? And this has been going on for 8 weeks now.

No. I said "one photo reports to show Pushlin on the run.” The report wasn't that he fled to Russia.

That makes your count of times he fled "to Russia" suspect, since you can't tell the difference between somebody being "on the run" and somebody "fleeing to Russia".

The biggest gangster oligarch is KGB Putin himself

Not really. Slander Putin all you want with these kooky conspiracy theories, at least he is building up his country and rescuing the Russian people from the horrors of Globo-Marxism.

Meanwhile, Globalist meatpuppet Barry Soetoro, who ranks a petulant school yard bully, is wrecking the USA and bringing the American people under the yoke of Globo-Marxism. The same Globo-Marxism that is descending upon the Ukrainian people and the rest of Europe.

You have been repeatedly shown to have said things that are not true and have for weeks spread disinformation here at FR. You refuse to address this every time it has been shown you are lying or spreading disinformation, but continue to do both. So I am coming out with it you are lying and you know it. If it was just a disagreement of facts you would give facts instead of continuing with the lies.

I will ask you again, are you Russian?

The video is from Novoaidar, Luhansk oblast. Ukrainian media reporting this as the work of Russian separatists. Can’t confirm from the video itself, the people in it don’t say who did it.

Putin is not building up his country, he is a kleptocrat who has betrayed his own country and stolen their freedom. He is a terrorist, a war criminal and a mass murderer, guilty of the ethnic cleansing of thousands of innocent Georgian civilians. Putin’s Russia supports every marxist tyranny in the world from the Chi-coms to the Sandinistas and he is helping islamofascist Iran get a nuke to wipe Israel off the map. KGB Putin is the biggest terrorist and murderer in the world. He’s a cancer which must be eradicated.

About count, caww, tcrlaf, thousands on the net like them—

Bane of the modern world – the weird ‘’ groupthink’’

All around us these days we see examples of what many come to think of as one of the more
illuminating insights into much of what goes on in our modern world.....

Examples. Some time back, under the heading “Thought police on patrol”, a well-known US journalist,
Charles Krauthammer, reported how his newspaper had received a petition signed by more than
110,000 people calling on it not to have any more anti-man-made global warming reports......

And lately we have seen the extraordinary and unprecedented campaign by so many naysayers on the
internet to demonise and smear Ukraine and Maidan.... Everything they do and say is
criticised, like UKR has early election, guy seems to win big, but they complain that all couldn’t vote
when the terrorists the naysayers are encouraging would let people vote in some parts of the Donbass.

Or the naysayers complain he is just a candy making rich guy, who will go bad and
rob the country..They hardly admit to the country being robbed big time of 80 billion
by putler and his stooge yanu—asshole...

Or the naysayers complain that new prez is a puppet of obama, when we here in US been telling
them that obama don’t care about UKraine, but is just like putler and the same kind of
fascist/commie who seem to be helping each other to undermine US and Ukraine citizens.

Yes...
Let’s not call them what they actually are. Let’s use the EuroMaidan-approved propaganda term that invokes an evil image in people’s minds.

What a hypocrite you are.

As long as they are “terrorists” and not “Ukrainian Rebels”, you can justify doing or saying anything about them, right??
