RINF – by Eric ZuesseBrookings Institution has now issued a call for us to finance more firebombings, clusterbombings, and other support to the ethnic cleansing, which has been going on sinceUkraine’s coup — the ethnic cleansing that’s occurring in the region of Ukraine’s southeast that’s called “Donbass” (which is the Ukrainian area shown in dark purple on this map, the map of the election results in Ukraine’s last nationwide Presidential election before the coup; and that’s the same region which rejects the U.S.-imposed coup-Government; the people there had voted 90% for the man whom the U.S. coup overthrew, which is the reason the U.S. Government wants them eliminated, so that Ukraine can keep the land — and its resources — but now cleansed of its residents, so that the U.S. can place missiles there aimed at Russia, which is America’s current strategic objective: to control Russia).
On Monday, February 2nd, Brookings (whose Michael O’Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack had been among the leaders of the invade-Iraq movement before the 2003 U.S. invasion there on false pretenses) issued a report, “Preserving Ukraine’s Independence, Resisting Russian Aggression: What the United States and NATO Must Do,”and Brookings urged “providing direct military assistance—in far larger amounts than provided to date and including lethal defensive arms—so that Ukraine is better able to defend itself. The U.S. government should provide Ukraine $1 billion in military assistance as soon as possible in 2015, followed by additional tranches of $1 billion in FY 2016 and FY 2017.” That euphemism “defensive arms” is for gullible individuals only: guns and tanks obviously fire in both directions, and so do anti-tank weapons etc. — and there was no “Russian Aggression” in Ukraine until the Obama Administrationviolently overthrew the existing Government there in February of last year. Adolf Hitler claimed to be “defending” Germany when he invaded and took over Poland in 1939, following a “false flag” incident in Poland that could have been a model for Obama’s in Ukraine last year, and the United States is copying not only his PR tactics about it, but the continuing violence afterwards, differing mainly in his using surrogates to do the job, instead of (as Hitler did) claiming the consequences as being his own. (Hitler was able to tell Germans that Poland was threatening Germany, but Obama can’t likewise persuasively say to Americans that Ukraine constitutes a threat to America: Americans aren’t that gullible, and he knows this.) As the following videos of the U.S.-sponsored firebombings — and of regular bombings — of cities and villages in Donbass will make clear, these consequences also compete rather well with Hitler’s in their sheer violence.
An outline of that coup should be expressly stated here: The U.S. overthrew Ukraine’s peaceful (though like all of that country’s previous ones corrupt) Government, by hiring Ukrainian (and some foreign) masked racist-fascist (or nazi) mercenaries (who were dressed as that Government’s security forces so that the existing Ukrainian President would be blamed), to fire down onto anti-corruption demonstrators massed at Kiev’s Maidan square — and here will be shown the reality of what our billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars are already buying for the resulting war from that overthrow, which Brookings wants Americans to buy yet more of:
But, first, it should also be noted, in this introduction, that the OSCE, Organization for Security & Cooperation in Europe, refuses to investigate the documented usages of firebombs in Ukraine’s war against the southeastern portion of Ukraine, Donbass — the region that rejects the legitimacy of the Ukrainian Government which came into power at that violent February 2014 coup. (Here is the U.S. official on 4 February 2014 at the very moment when she was selecting the man to run Ukraine after the coup, the man who then did become appointed as Ukraine’s leader 22 days later. And here is the telephone conversation during which the EU’s minister for foreign affairs first learned that it had been a coup.) However, some of these firebombing-instances have (notwithstanding OSCE and other U.S.-controlled agencies) been caught on videos, the authenticity of which has not been challenged; and, sometimes, the resulting fires on the ground have likewise been documented in these videos. Furthermore, it unfortunately must be pointed out (since the Government blames the “Terrorists” as being not themselves but instead as being their victims: the people who live in the region) that the locals who live there (the “Terrorists” as the Government calls the area’s residents) are never the people who are flying those planes and dropping these bombs onto themselves and their neighbors. It’s always the Government — the Government that Obama placed into power in Kiev a year ago. As this phone conversation made undeniably clear, that government had been brought to power in a coup that was recognized, at the time, as being such, even by the man who ultimately won Ukraine’s Presidency after the coup, Petro Poroshenko; furthermore, it violated Ukraine’s Constitution. Everything that has occurred since then (and actually even since at least 25 January 2014, leading up to the coup) is fundamentally illegal; and that is why the country is now ruled by sheer force; and anyone who would pretend otherwise is not being honest about it.
