U.S. diplomat says Ukrainian strikes on military targets in Crimea are legitimate
Reuters ^ | February 17, 2023 | Guy Faulconbridge, Editing by Mark Heinrich

"No matter what the Ukrainians decide about Crimea in terms of where they choose to fight etcetera, Ukraine is not going to be safe unless Crimea is at a minimum, at a minimum, demilitarised," Nuland told the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington. Asked about the dangers of escalation in the Ukraine war, Nuland said Russia had a host of military installations crucial for the conflict. "Those are legitimate targets, Ukraine is hitting them and we are supporting that," Nuland said.

“The truth irritates you Biden Neocons.”

Sorry Jon, but he has a point - you LIED. Neuland’s Nazi goons in Kiev were responsible for 14,000 deaths, not 4,000 deaths.

Now please get it right next time.

It all has to do with her desire to avenge the way the Soviets treated her grandfather in Ukraine.

Here’s the catch. To remain free of Was Crime allegations and indictments, Ukraine must not attack Russian civilian targets.

That also goes for Crimea where civilian targets must remain off limits.

There are Reuters reports of Germany and others presently compiling a comprehensive list of the Russian attacks on Ukranian civilian targets by artillery, rockets, drones and troops. Russia is losing and will be charged formally with war crimes by the leaders and reparations for all of the damages done to Ukraine civilian and military targets destroyed.

Boiled down, the oil, gas, metals and other Russian commodities will become the property or at minimum partial property of Ukraine. Boiled down further, Ukraine is going to own Russia.

You wouldn’t have any of that stuff for sale, would you?

Yes, it is a war and Ukraine is losing it badly. Russia has Ukraine completely outgunned and outmanned.

All of your Russia-haters keep leaving out how the Kiev murderers killed thousands of Donbas civilians over eight years with relentless artillery shelling. Their crime? They are ethnic Russians who chose autonomy from the Kiev killers.

You also omit the Minsk agreements ignored by the West which would have avoided this slaughter. Angela Merkel, and others, recently admitted those agreements signed with Russia were just a ruse and the West never intended to honor them. They were just used to buy time for Ukraine to build up its military to fight Russia.

Russia’s military entry into Eastern Ukraine was NOT UNPROVOKED. The West was, AND STILL IS, hell-bent on using Ukraine to destroy Russia. Negotiations were never serious and Russia now has no reason whatsoever to believe a word offered to end the conflict.

Donbas was not invaded or conquered by Russia. It was LIBERATED from the vicious trash in Kiev.

Russia’s certain victory will hopefully end the farce of NATO which lost its purpose after the breakup of the Soviet Union. NATO has become an aggressor force for prolonged conflict and “regime change” instead of as an organization to provide peace in Europe.

Just wait and see.........

There will be a sequestration of Russian oil and gas revenues given to Banks that loaned the funds for the rebuilding of Ukraine.

There is a thread today about a vote in Siberia to leave the Russian Federation. The boys in Siberia see the writing on the wall and are trying to abandon ship

I pray that the Ukrainians burn.

The Ukrainians were key players in the coup against President Trump. The first impeachment was driven by President Trump's call to Zelensky and Ukrainian-born "whistle-blower" Col. Vindman was the impetus. Col. Vindman was offered the high position of Defense Minister of Ukraine THREE by the Ukraine - why? The coup against President Trump led us into the Ukraine War and the death of hundreds of thousands of people and the impoverishment of America. We are led by traitors and snakes.

Vindman, 44, explained during his impeachment testimony that he had been offered the position three times but declined the position because of his loyalty to the United States. The lieutenant colonel was born in Ukraine, but his family immigrated to the U.S. when he was a toddler.

Vindman claimed he did not know why he was offered the high ranking position of defense minister.

And, amazingly, after President Trump was only out of office a little over a year we were at war with Russia at the behest of the Ukraine.

That will be quite difficult because part of our Western BRILLIANCE was ending the Petrol Dollar.

While Russia is dredging up historical precedent for the war crimes in Ukraine, Siberia is delving into historical precedent for leaving and escaping blame

Putin has a two front war it looks like

Understand, but she almost did - when she installed the government there that gave us direct access to the Azovs (Nazis) in Ukraine, effectively sealing her control over their government.

Nuland is a warmonger and Satanist. She spends her time fomenting war all over the world for the globalists.

Shame on people here for propping up the same slime who are destroying America.

Big Bump!
