Foreign Powers, Terrorism and Regime Destabilization: USA/EU/NATO turns the Ukrainian Narrative upside down As the saying goes – one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter… Faced with a growing revolt in the East, including the killing of a member of the security forces, the nationalist Ukrainian regime, together with its USA, NATO and EU sponsors, has decided that violent protest is not such a good idea after all. According to the Kiev Post Olexander Turchinov, the ‘president’ of the Ukrainian post- coup regime, declared on Sunday 13th April that the National Security and Defence Council had decided that it would launch a large scale anti-terrorist operation involving the armed forces of Ukraine, unless the occupations ended and the rebels disarmed by Monday morning. Turchinov claimed that Russia was entirely to blame for the disorder and violence. Later that day, in an unscheduled and urgently convened UN Security Council meeting, Samantha Power, US ambassador to the UN, also claimed that the attacks in Eastern Ukraine were planned and co-ordinated by Russia, and that ‘there’s nothing grass roots seeming about it(sic)’. This despite the fact that there has been an entirely ‘grass roots seeming’ rebellion developing in East Ukraine ever since the violent overthrow of the legal regime by foreign-sponsored protestors on February 22nd.

Europe should switch from promises to real action to help Ukraine out of the economic chaos, says Russia’s President Putin. “What’s the problem for the near future? It’s that Russia can’t bear the brunt [of helping Ukraine] in a one-way fashion,” Vladimir Putin told the Security Council meeting on Friday. That was the main reason President Putin decided to send a letter to his European counterparts on Thursday, in which he urged them to hold an immediate meeting to decide on a game plan to help the Ukrainian economy out of the crisis. If somebody treats Ukraine kindly, he should make a real contribution to help avoid a default, Putin said. “Giving out pies in Maidan is not enough to support the Ukrainian economy and prevent chaos there,” he added. The address to Russia’s Security Council largely echoed his Thursday letter, where he also stressed that Russia has so far been the only country to provide real help to the Ukrainian economy.
Two beautiful Slavic sisters, Ukraine and Russia, pitched against each other: long hair flying in the wind, gray-blue eyes staring forward accusatively, but in the same time with anticipation and love. One single moment, one…
The United States has always tried to do its best to weaken Russia. Driving a wedge between Russia and the European Union is a priority mission. But Crimea and Ukraine frustrate the plans. Entangled in the Ukrainian crisis, Europe starts to doubt the expediency of following the US policy and displays its unwillingness to escalate the confrontation with Russia. As they say «Mutiny on the Bounty» is getting ripe, though most likely the revolt will go no further than undermining some US initiatives… Looks like Brussels is going to quietly let Ukraine go. Revolutionary frenzy behind, the EU is not prone to take further anti-Russian actions. They gradually start to listen to the Kremlin. Russia has taken diplomatic initiative away from Washington and takes a more adamant stand insisting that an all-Ukraine dialogue should be a foundation for crisis management. The Western hopes for Moscow’s at least indirect recognition of the illegal government in Kiev are getting stymied.

NATO Sets PACE of Aggression towards Russia with ‘Fogh’ of War When asked on the foundational purpose of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, its first Secretary General, Britain’s Lord Ismay, famously said: “To keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down”. Ismay, the military advisor to Britain’s World War II leader Winston Churchill, was like his pugnacious boss an ardent imperialist, anti-communist and pro-American. His refreshing, if distasteful, candor about the strategic purpose of NATO has since been varnished over down through the decades. The US-dominated military pact has been reinvented as a humanitarian mission with faux political correctness and spurious lofty claims of maintaining world peace. But Ismay’s terse words on NATO’s more sinister foundational purpose are starkly pertinent to present developments.
