Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko: The World Must Choose Sides
CNN ^

Posted on 07/21/2014 2:45:08 PM PDT by nickcarraway

In the wake of the attack on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, "every country, including Russia," must determine whether it is "together with the terrorists or together with the civilized world," Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said Monday.

In an exclusive interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, Poroshenko said, "Every country and every person, and every leader should find out their own place."

"We know exactly" where a missile was shot that hit the plane Thursday, killing all 298 people aboard, and where the flight crashed, he said. "And all this territory is firmly controlled by Russian-supported terrorists."

Ukraine has "a lot of evidence that these people are supported by Russia, trained by Russia, armed by Russia," he added. "And most of them and their leaders are Russian citizens. That is for sure."

Didn’t I just see an article where the Ukrainian military also has SA-11s? Anybody else see that?

“The World Must Choose Sides”

Not really. It’s your country’s rebellion — either quell it or don’t.

Uh. No we don’t. It’s only been 100 years since the last time we fell for that garbage.

I have chosen. I’m on my side. To date, there’s no evidence his problems are mine.

We have our own invasion to deal with.

I don’t take kindly to ultimatums. Is this the guy that Nuland installed as puppet?

That was never a secret. The question was, who was responsible, and the “separatists” themselves cleared that up early on with their bragging on twitter and their version of facebook and then their intercepted “oh s***” moments, followed swiftly with the deletion of the former.

I don’t really know who the good guys are in this fight. Even if I did, there’s not much I can do about their fighting. Now, I am VERY concerned about Obama and what he has done (and is doing) to me and my family. That is a fight on my front doorstep.

I don’t know about an article, but it is common knowledge that Ukraine has them.

Something interesting for everyone to check out.

Some are saying that those intercepts were either altered or faked. but of course our NSA and MI6 would do no such thing...

Some people are also liberaltarians or Russkie spies. Bezler already admitted one of the recordings was real, but claims that he was taken out of context. I have a thread that mentions it posted just a bit ago.

Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko: The World Must Choose Sides

“I’m on the American side.”
Same here.

And if the Obama administration is saying “X” I’m not going to exclude the possibility that the truth may be “Y,” since they wouldn’t know the truth if it bit them in the buttocks.
And we’ve got our own problems, specifically our own invasion caused by our own Dear Leader.

“Uh. No we don’t. It’s only been 100 years since the last time we fell for that garbage.”

Not at all; Red China did that just decades ago, and we abandoned Taiwan as a result. That example should make Ukraine think twice about this bluster; like Red China, Russia has much more with which to bribe collusion that Ukraine...

Well, Ukraine had 1650 troops in Iraq and they're the ones being invaded. That must be worth at least a strongly worded letter.
