    What?

    Why kiev forces are trying to attack Belarus border guards?
    Does that makes any sense? Belarus have been short of condemning Russia for
    Supporting the Rebels.

    In more news.. More backstabbing to US gov.. Not a good time to be a NEOCON in the
    land of "Freedom". The Republicans and the white house should be now throwing white foam from their
    mouths in rage.. take a look at what hungary  prime minister told recently to humiliate more United States gov
    who have been trying to isolate Russia for the ukrainian conflict which they provoked...  Wink

    Hungary: 'Isolating Russia from Europe is not possible - Viktor Orban



    So what new trick is left for the western Neocon thugs? it looks like game over for their dreams to use Ukraine as a battle  field against Russia.. what they could do now is the samsom option.. that is if Kiev cannot be theirs and or used to isolate Russia then they will destroy it..and totally collapse it.. so no longer it can trade anything with Russia.. and Russia will have to feed 40 millions civilians from their own budget.  But if US Gov do something stupid ,
    like destroying a nuclear reactor ,so Russia have to fix it..and evacuate civilians ,or that they supply cruise missiles to destroy Sochi or Russian warships ,it could be the nail in the coffin and provoke a major split between US and Europe.. Contrary to the average people European leaders are well aware of US games /proxy war against Russia in Ukraine and what things they are capable to pull..how low they can go.. as they did in 9/11 WTC. that killed thousands of their own people for a fake war against terrorism to justify middle east invasions..

    Countries that US could also retaliate for their failure in Ukraine are Moldova ,provoke a major war in the pro Russian zone.. or provoke a war between Armenia and Azerbaijan or simply Syria ,send a small army backed by air force to help smuggle 50 thousands of new cannibal jihadist into Syria..

    Horrific Images Capture The Sheer Brutality Of War In Ukraine

    http://www.buzzfeed.com/avdeev/horrific-images-capture-the-sheer-brutality-of-ukraine-war#.mtrMYmWEa

    =========



    All my sources confirm that Debaltsevo is mostly in Novorussian hands and that the junta forces are in full retreat to the south of the pocket. All the top Novorussian brass was on hand today, including Kononov, Motorola, Givi, Mozgovoi and Zakharchenko as were many tens of Ukrainian prisoners. It appears that the junta forces were unable to provide the kind of resistance they showed in Peski, and that make sense because in Peski they were not surrounded and they had the fire support of Ukrainian forces just north and west of them. This time the cauldron is too deep and the "lid" too strong. See for yourself.

    The Situation in the Ukraine. #11 - Page 10 Selection_057

    Debaltsevo AO as of Tue Feb 17 2010 GMT
    You can see that the cauldron "lid" has now closed on Debaltsevo from the north and that the junta forces are either surrendering of fleeing south where there is quite literally nothing for them to do then to wait until they run out of food and ammo. Bottom line: it's over for the Ukie forces in the Debaltsevo cauldron.

    Amazingly, the freaks in Kiev as still insisting that there is no cauldron but only a "bridgehead". The good news is that apparently nobody buys that nonsense any more and the mothers and wifes of the men caught in the cauldron are trying everything they can to force the Ukie high command to accept the Novorussian offer of an evacuation corridor. The try to protest in front of the General Staff building in Kiev, then the blocked traffic. In a particularly poignant moment one of these women put a megaphone next to a cellphone to amplify the voice of her son/husband calling from the cauldron and announcing that they had for about 3 hours of supplies left.

    All this is truly catastrophic news for the junta in Kiev. First, their policy of denying the issue made it impossible for their forces to get out while it was still possible. According to Russian military experts, about half of all the (comparatively) combat capable units of the Ukrainian military have been surrounded in this cauldron and that means that 50% of the Ukrainian army is now gone. Second, while Poroshenko and the junta freaks tried as hard as they could to completely deny the very existence of the cauldron, thanks to the Internet and the Russian TV channels most folks in junta-controlled Ukraine know that they are being lied to. That, in turns, means that the regime is loosing the very little credibility it might have had with the general public. Last and not least, now there will be a lot of very ugly recriminations from all sides of the political spectrum about who is guilty for that latest disaster. I would not be surprised one bit if the Ukrainian death-squads (aka Azov battalion & Co.) decided to storm Kiev for two reasons: a) to take out their rage on the regime and b) because it is safer to storm Kiev than Donetsk. Poroshenko better watch his back now. By the way, rumor (unconfirmed!) has it that he already evacuated his family to Germany.

    Novorussian intel is reporting that the junta is trying to assemble three battalion tactical groups and numerous MLRS north of the cauldron to try to rescue the surrounded forces, but this will be too little too late. The Novorussians are used to Ukie artillery and they don't fear their armor or, even less so, infantry. Besides, I bet you that now that they are inside Debaltsevo, the Novorussians will deeply dig in. When is the last time that the junta forces succeeded in an urban assault operation? Exactly.

    Bottom line: yet another brilliant victory for the Novorussian forces and yet another humiliating defeat for the junta in Kiev.

    So the western narrative is basically that this is a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, or atleast half of it and that evil Putin wants to "annex" it all. But if you simply look at a map, it's pretty clear that's ridiculous. Separatists control comparatively small area... does it look like a Russian invasion to them? (It's going to take forever to even take control of whole of eastern Ukraine at this rate!) Apparently it does, because people seem to believe that. I mean sure, Russia certainly wants to have influence in the eastern regions in particular and they are supporting the separatists, but the whole is blown out of proportions. The west supports Syrian separatists -> good, Russia supports Ukrainian separatists -> bad... seriously, what the fuck...

    And there's the "problem" that separatists are actually winning, so the narrative is kind of plausible at a glance. The "Russians" are advancing -> they are attacking innocent and free (tm) Ukraine. I really wonder how they would report had Kiev's forces been more capable? What if they would the ones who are advancing? "Evil Russian terrorists are being eradicated!"

    That just came to mind while I was reading how "Russian state-controlled propaganda/trolling" is making gains in Finland and the EU. What the fuck is that? So western media is supposed to be neutral in this conflict? So everyone who is not demonizing Russia (and Putin! Remember him? Putin Putin Putin Putin Putin Putin Putin... let's quote him out of context once more!!!) is an FSB agent now? I'm just a brainwashed idiot? One thing I noticed (and I hope I'm wrong) is that they actually report about Kiev's "announcements" but they rarely mention anything about separatist's viewpoint, even though it seems social media is full of it.

    Also, I have to say that is that the Russian media is doing a pretty damn good job. Just look at the amount of likes RT articles get and how many subscribers they have on Youtube. And the common view is that Russia's "soft power" is nonexistent. They must be really pissed in Washington and Brussels.

    Sigh...

    Btw, were those "Russian soldier's mothers" (or something like that) reports how Russian soldiers (conscripts even?) are being buried in secret and that Kreml is trying to hide the whole thing even actually true? To be honest, they seem kind of believable. Russia is trying to deny that it has any role in the conflict after all. Not that it makes sense that they would need to use conscripts or soldiers that don't want to fight there.

    To see Nuland's  head splashed all over a pavement would give me particular pleasure.
    Sadly while these scum are still alive, they can reattempt this shit.
    This is why the Neo Cons keep doing their shit. They think there is no come back.

    Interesting to note that we were discussing a Russian hit on a big bank as revenge for US atrocities.
    Now it seems they've been hit for 1bn in a low key event ie many small withdrawals.

    I wonder how this all might continue..

    Who has been hit?  Please be more specific.

    http://www.theguardian.com/money/2015/feb/17/how-safe-you-bank-cyber-attack

    Seems to be lots of different banks for smaller amts.
    Seems to be 30 countries, but also Russia and CIS ones.

    Kaspersky seem to be clued in on it. And they've released data on US spying from Western built harddrives etc.

    If a single Western bank was cyber hit for a billion, I doubt we'd find out til many yrs later. Atleast offcially.

    I vaguely recall there has been  a 500m USD hit vs US banks about 10 yrs ago. This was reported in the mainstream Western press.

    Greece's Tsipras attacks sanctions on Russia

    reuters wrote:

    Feb 18 (Reuters) - Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras told Germany's Stern magazine an economic war with Russia was in no-one's interests and that imposing sanctions on Moscow over the crisis in Ukraine was "hypocritical"

    "If you want to punish Russia, you need to punish all the countries where Russian multi-billionaires have invested their assets," he told Stern in an interview released on Wednesday.

    "I want the EU to speak with one voice.. But Greece is also suffering from the sanctions. Russian tourists are staying away, our agricultural sector is suffering," he said. (Reporting by Madeline Chambers and Noah Barkin; Editing by Caroline Copley)

    Majority Ukrs were allowed to waltz off from  Debaltsevo cauldron with weapons and all. Zaebis. Well at least there was no unnecessary bloodshed, but this is almost criminal. Don't get me wrong, I'm not blood thirsty for Ukrainian blood, one day they might be the ones fighting together with separatists against Ukr gov. But letting them go like that is too much.
    There are reports of big hour long collumns of military vehicles arriving in Attemivisk.

    I think this is probably the best thing from Russia's point of view, now when people in West Ukraine start paying huge amounts for gas and heating, they will want no part of the West. But I think the Zionist IMF will try to put the blame on Russia.

    The next article explain a lot why Poroshenko claimed there was no cauldron in debaltsevo..  
    People need to be aware that Porosehnko is trying to save his ass ,and if he declare they failed miserably in debtalsevo and all Ukrainians wiped will have been the last nail on his coffin .  So whenever Poroshenko says
    anything in public.. ie..  "Galicians are the heroes of Ukraine"..  or We want to be part of NATO or Hiring the Georgian
    moron who was former president at his advisor.. or even if he kiss a photo of Bandera if ever he does it.. or giving a
    medal to the fighters in devaltsevo.. etc. . Always remember that Poroshenko neck is on the line.. so naturally he must better say the right things and appear to do the right things in order to not get the Ulra nationals pointing their
    guns towards him and overthrow him..  So the medal thing to devalsevo is quite smart.. (probably he wanted them killed) but now that the commanders who in reality flee from the conflict betraying their soldiers ,and survived he better show happiness and do whatever it takes for have them happy.. $$ ,or else have to face directly their anger and even more smart is to claim that Ukrainians in debaltsevo where not defeated ,no .. not really.. what really happened was that he gave the order in accordance to minsk agreements for the cease fire to remove the soldiers from there..     Wink  russia

    So until now Poroshenko is doing the right things to not prolong the fight.. if he order troops to continue fighting that will be a signal he support the idea of continue fighting and not minsk.


    there are some figures in Poroshenko’s government, who are “very much pro-military,” political analyst and founder of Global Political Insight Alexander Clackson told RT. Moreover, with the Ukrainian population feeling that Kiev “is failing,” Poroshenko can’t show weakness when it comes to eastern Ukraine.

    “There is an inner circle within Poroshenko’s government who are very much pro-military if you like. They hate to see Ukraine being defeated over and over again. We’ve seen it prior to the talks in September in Minsk. And we have seen that again this time as well," Clackson said. "There is a general feeling among the Ukrainian population that the Ukrainian government is failing in this conflict in eastern Ukraine. So Poroshenko wasn’t able to come across as weak during the last Minsk talks. Because if he came to these talks saying ‘Listen, I’m ready to give up Debaltsevo,’ that would cause a huge uproar in his own country, which is precisely why he had to argue that Debaltsevo was not lost.”

    Kiev says troops withdrawn from Debaltsevo, rebels claim military ‘surrender en masse’

    What will be interesting is how Poroshenko will maneuver once the prisoners of devalsevo released and they start speaking saying they were betrayed ,abandoned and defeated in
    combat and the many died because of that..  If i was Donetsk and Lugansk lealdership ,i will
    NOT release the devaltsevo prisoners any time soon.. other wise they will be helping the
    ultra nationals to get rid of Poroshenko that as bad he could be.. at least he is the only one
    in Ukraine that Russia,Germany and France can negotiate for end of the conflict..
