WAYNE MADSEN : The Failed State Of Ukraine : Join Most Of It To Russia

Obama's failed CIA coup in Kiev insured the annexation of Ukraine by Russia

The recent display of Third World-style political immaturity in the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada (parliament) when Oleg Barna, a deputy from President Petro Poroshenko’s eponymously-named Petro Poroshenko Bloc (PPB), assaulted Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk by grabbing him by his genitals and neck, pulling him away from the dais, and shuffling him off the stage displayed for the world to witness the utterly failed state of Ukraine. Yatsenyuk, the favorite Ukrainian leader of the foul-mouthed Assistant U.S. Secretary of State for European Affairs Victoria Nuland, responded to the incident by calling the Poroshenko Bloc deputies "morons."

This slapstick form of parliamentary governance came a few days after U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, whose family has a personal financial stake in the collapsing Ukrainian economy, praised Ukraine’s "democracy."

It is clear that then-U.S. President George H. W. Bush was correct when, on August 1, 1991, in a speech delivered before the Verkhovna Rada in Kiev, a few months before Ukrainians voted to secede from the Soviet Union, warned the emergent state against "suicidal nationalism."


Warning the Ukrainians to avoid the fate of Yugoslavia, Bush said, "Americans will not support those who seek independence in order to replace a far-off tyranny with a local despotism. They will not aid those who promote a suicidal nationalism based upon ethnic hatred." 

Bush’s son, George W. Bush, ignored the advice of his father when, in 2004, the neoconservative cabal in the Bush administration engineered Ukraine’s first "themed" coup, the "Orange Revolution." Viktor Yanukovych, whose policy was more aligned with that of Moscow, won the presidential election. However, George Soros’s minions, assisted by Central Intelligence Agency operatives, engineered large street demonstrations, resulting in the pro-U.S. and pro-NATO Viktor Yushchenko, sidelining Yanukovych in becoming president.

Lightning struck twice in 2014 when Yanukovych, who won the presidency in 2010 in an election deemed free and fair by many international observers, was ousted again after another massive Soros- U.S. State Department and CIA-engineered street rebellion, which was branded the "Euromaidan" uprising. Poroshenko, the multi-millionaire owner of a chocolate empire, became president.

Nuland admitted that the U.S. budgeted $5 billion to overthrow the government of Ukraine in a 2013 speech to the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation.

In addition to the senior Bush advising Ukraine to stick with Russia in the then-Soviet Union, American entertainer Bob Hope told a wartime radio audience in 1943, "This is Bob ‘Command Performance’ Hope telling each Nazi that’s in Russia today that, ‘Crimea doesn’t pay.’" Hope’s comments in 1943 are just as relevant today in Ukraine, where avowed Nazis run national and regional institutions of government and support the crime of sabotage, including a terrorist attack on power line pylons carrying electricity to Crimea – transformed into an autonomous republic of the Russian Federation by popular referendum -- against Crimea and the Russian-speaking peoples of the eastern Donbas region and Odessa. For the Nazis currently in power in Kiev and other Ukrainian regions, Hope was correct: "Crimea doesn’t pay."

The peninsula was always Russian and only became part of Ukraine when Soviet Communist Party leader Nikita Khrushchev presented it to Ukraine as a "gift." The people and land of Crimea were not some sort of chattel to be bargained away by the Soviet successor to Joseph Stalin.

Ukraine, the cradle of Kievan Rus (land of the Rus), the forbearers of modern Russia, is not only a failed state but a dangerously failed one. Today, Ukraine is a supplier of arms and mercenaries for the terrorist Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in the Middle East and North Africa. Ukraine is a giant kleptocracy where gangster oligarchs like billionaire and Biden family employer Igor Kolomoisky, run criminal enterprises and recruit neo-Nazi militias, some armed with advanced weaponry.

The neocons and their Zionist allies have essentially turned Ukraine into a large vassal state of the European Union, NATO, and the central banks of Europe to wage war against Russia. Ukraine has, by its ceding of its independence to the European Central Bank, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund, abrogated any right to nationhood.


There is but one suggestion for gangster-, Nazi-, and neocon-ridden Ukraine and that is the incorporation of the Russian-speaking provinces of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Odessa, Zaporozhye, and Nikolaev as autonomous republics or regions of the Russian Federation, thus joining Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.

The Poroshenko-appointed governor of Odessa, the wanted criminal and ex-president of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, should be quickly returned to Georgia to stand trial for his many crimes against that nation. 

Other provinces of Ukraine that figure prominently in Russian history should also be incorporated into the Russian Federation as autonomous republics, including Poltava, Sumy (the home of the Anton Chekhov Museum), Kirovograd, Rovno, and the provinces of the Kievan Rus: Kiev, Cherkassy, and Khemelnitsky (the latter two, ancient homelands of the Russophile Cossacks), as well as Zhytomir, Volynia, and Vinnytsia. The Transcarpathian Rusyn, or "Rus" who were part of the ancient Kievan Rus and who currently live in the Zakarpattia oblast of Ukraine, should be granted autonomous republic status within the Russian Federation, along with the Russian-speaking people of the Transnistrian Republic, originally formed from the Republic of Moldova. The Rusyns (or Ruthenians) and the Transnistrian Russians are closer to mother Russia than to the Ukrainians or Moldovan Romanians, respectively. It is this type of "nation building," creating sensible order from chaos, not the irresponsible and hasty "nation building" that saw the creation of Kosovo, that should be employed to bring peace to southeastern Europe.

The extreme right-wing nationalist Ukrainian region surrounding Lvov, the historic Galicia, which also includes Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk (which should have autonomous status as 'Stanislau,') and Chernivtsi, should be granted provisional independence as "Galicia" or "Western Ukraine." However, to ensure the rights of minorities like Poles, Slovaks, Hungarians, and other ethnic groups, Western Ukraine/Galicia should answer primarily to the Visegrad Four (V4) of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland to ensure prevent it from becoming a center for ethnic cleansing, international terrorism, arms smuggling, and money laundering.

There is no valid reason why a state that authorizes veterans’ benefits for wartime Nazi personnel of two arms of the Nazi Gestapo, the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), should be accepted as a member of the United Nations, host servicemen from the same Allied nations that defeated the German Nazis during World War II, and threatens Russian-speaking populations of the Donbas and Odessa regions of Ukraine.


A nation that worships wartime pro-Nazi Ukrainian nationalist leader Stepan Bandera while tearing down statues honoring those who fought Nazism does not deserve a place among the viable nation states of the 21st century. 

It is much more proper that such a Nazi-led state be consigned to the trash heap of history, along with such failed Nazi puppet states as the Slovak Republic of Nazi Jozef Tiso, the French Vichy State of Marshal Philippe Petain, the Croatian Nazi state of Ante Pavelic, the Vidkun Quisling regime of Norway, the Russian Nazi puppet government of the Lokot Autonomy in Orel, Kursk, Bryansk, and Polotsk led by Bronislav Kaminski, and the Belarusian Central Rada of Radasłaŭ Astroŭski.

The government of Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk, along with their neo-Nazi shock troops and Zionist neocon enablers like Nuland, her husband Robert Kagan, and the U.S. envoy in Kiev Geoffrey Pyatt, has no place in modern Europe. It is a far better option to cleave the Donbas, Odessa, Kherson, and Kievan Rus off from the ersatz Nazi state that ironically finds itself protected by NATO and join it with the Russian Federation.

How Aristocracy Revs Up Its Suckers

As the international public becomes aware, the "elites" scramble to maintain their crumbling facade of power    

STRATEGIC CULTURE FOUNDATION
By Eric Zuesse
12/16/2015

On December 10th, the far-right Rosemary Righter ("Righter" is her actual name, not merely her ideology), of the fascist Rupert Murdoch’s London Times, presented an opinion-piece in America’s Politico (which derives from Republican Joe Allbritton’s now-defunct Washington DC conservative newspaper the Star), titled, "NATO’s ‘Obama problem’: The alliance is hamstrung by the least Atlanticist president since World War II."

Her point in it is that the current US President, who calls himself a Democrat (and so is unacceptable to Republicans no matter how right-wing he might actually be), lacks the requisite passion for war against the ‘threat’ from Russia.

She says: "Obama, the least Atlanticist president in America’s postwar history, viewed NATO as a Cold War relic and radically shrank the US military presence in Europe." But, that, "Then, in March 2014, Russia invaded Crimea, annexing it within 30 days on the pretext of a referendum held under conditions of armed occupation."

"Having openly carved off one slice of Ukraine, Putin then set about fomenting and arming a separatist rebellion in the country’s Donbas region, brazenly denying the involvement of Russian troops."

That’s a string of lies; so, here are the facts:

Crimeans were horrified and frightened by the racist-fascist, ideologically nazi, government that had been imposed by the violent US-sponsored and overseen Ukrainian coup in February 2014. The reason why Crimeans were terrified by the US-installed new Ukrainian government after the US coup had overthrown Ukraine’s democratically elected President Yanukovych (and the areas that you see there which had voted the most for him were also the areas that resisted and protested against the coup once it happened) and that installed instead racist-fascists, ideological nazis, to rule in his place, is well encapsulated here. This horrific event against entirely peaceful people is called by various names, including "the pogrom of Korsun."

Then consider the fact that US government-commissioned polls in Crimea, which were taken both before and after America’s bloody Ukrainian coup in February 2014, found that Crimeans overwhelmingly wanted to be restored to Russia (of which Crimea had been a part until the Soviet dictator in 1954 transferred it to Ukraine, without so much as even asking Crimeans whether this would be okay with them); and consider also that this anti-Ukraine, pro-Russia, sentiment among Crimeans became even stronger once the US had perpetrated its February 2014 Ukrainian coup, and once the Kosun massacre occurred. 

And, then, Crimeans became even more frightened of America’s nazi -stooge regime when the Obama-regime rulers started in February 2015 to lay the foundations for invading Crimea. 

So: Righter’s portrayal of the far-right Obama as if he were far-left isn’t just a lie, it’s ridiculous. 

And her portrayal of Putin as if he were what Obama constantly calls him – which is the biggest aggressor in the world (which is what Obama actually is) – is even worse.

And, as regards Righter’s "Putin then set about fomenting and arming a separatist rebellion in the country’s Donbas region," the lie isn’t any truer on the account of its ceaseless repetition by America’s lying President and press. Putin did nothing whatsoever to "foment" that civil war, which started on 2 May 2014 when the people whom Obama installed into power massacred entirely peaceful people in Odessa (mostly burned them alive inside the Trade Unions Building). Obama’s hired thugs massacred Odessits who refused to accept the US-imposed new government. That massacre is what sparked Ukraine’s civil war. And it was done by Obama’s people, not by Putin’s.

The vile Victoria "Fuck the EU" Nuland receiving The Adolph Hitler Award for Meritorious Depopulation from Ukrainian Naxis 

Supporters of America’s Democratic Party don’t want to know this, because it shows Obama to be profoundly evil and far-right in foreign affairs; and, America’s Republican Party don’t want to know this, because they’re no less evil than he is and they can’t blame him for doing what Republicans (such as Righter) have always wanted America to do, which is to surround Russia by NATO countries and strangulate it.

In other words: the reality that has been documented here is unmentionable in the aristocratically controlled – both Democratic and Republican – press in the United States.

So: since the US aristocracy is allied with the Saudi and other Sunni fundamentalist aristocracies that finance global jihad, the ‘villain’ that they all focus on instead is the one they all hate, which is Russia – the country that protected the democratic right of the Crimean people to self-determination, and that still insists, despite refusal by Barack Obama, that the people of Syria likewise should democratically determine whom their leader should be.

And this is how the aristocracy revs up its suckers. They do it by lies – right and left.

Such sucker-baits ‘justify’ military invasions and coups – such as in Libya, Syria, and Ukraine – not only in overtly fascist nations such as Germany and its allies in the 1930s, but in ‘democratic’ nations such as America and its allies in our own time.

America and its fellow-fascist ally Turkey are now starting to shoot down Russian anti-jihadist bombers, and to re-invade Iraq.

World War III would be a lot worse than World War II. Is that what the US and its allied aristocracies have in mind? The question really does need to be asked now, and it won’t peacefully be answered unless the US alliance becomes publicly shamed enough to back down. But, of course, overt far-right-wingers, such as Ms Righter and US Republicans, do all they can to make that option excruciatingly embarrassing for the ‘leftist’ Obama, and his Party at home.

The only hope, really, would be for America’s European allies to peel off, first one-by-one, then en-masse. If that doesn’t happen, and fairly soon, then nuclear war probably will, because imagining a way to avoid it will then soon become extremely difficult, if not impossible.

If America and its allies don’t back down, and soon, we’re all in big trouble.
