From Oleg Shynkarenko at The Daily Beast:
A journalist from Russia’s Moskva FM Radio broadcasting from Donetsk asked a local rebel commander, “Can you tell me your name?” He answered: “Of course, I am Paramonov Pavel Vladimirovytch.”
“Are you from Donetsk?”
“Of course not. I am from Yefremov, Tula region [Russia].”
“What are you doing in Donetsk?”
“I am helping brotherly people to defend their rights, do you have another questions?”

So you don’t think sending in the snipers to Kiev within hours of a joint Russian, EU, Protesters President deal has anything to do with Empire and a US funded and coordinated coup? And I guess you don’t see any connection with the US/Nato coordinating attacks in Libya with al Qaeda, Qatar and the Saudi’s either, or even the US Qatar Saudi Turkey and Nato again joint operations with al Qaeda in Syria as being connected either? I guess its not the sort of thing that is generally discussed by the MSM – but then why would they? They’ve lied about every war in my lifetime and they are lying about all these recent events too. But sure … just go along with some BS about Russia being the bad guy in all this and miss what is really happening – you won’t be alone.
I feel that just about all sides are ‘”the bad guys here”.Everybody involved is just wanting to score as big as possible. I am amazed at Pushkin pushing the limits while Nero and his buddies and the UN sit and fiddle about making grandiose but empty statements of threat and intent.
This is a play with Pushkin playing Hitler and Obama and others vying to play Chamberlain. I just shudder and quietly collect gold and silver and wait for the brown stuff to hit the fan more directly.
I am pretty much like the others and hope for some gain and as little negative impact as possible. I am afraid that life has made me more cynic and opportunist than I was as a romantic idealist some years ago.
