Anne Applebaum’s Dull Conspiracy Existence
The neocon demagogue Anne Applebaum asks:
No one has yet explained, for example, why Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych not only left Kiev last week after signing a treaty brokered by the European Union but also ordered security guards to abandon all government buildings as well. Was that an unsubtle invitation for the opposition to ransack the offices so that he could claim he had been chased out by a violent coup?
No, Mrs. Applebaum, it wasn't. The removal of the guards was a condition in the agreement (not "treaty") brokered by the European Union.
Both parties will undertake serious efforts for the normalisation of life in the cities and villages by withdrawing from administrative and public buildings and unblocking streets, city parks and squares.
Yanukovych kept his promises but the agreement was immediately broken by the fascist Pravyi Sektor rioters:
Dmytro Yarosh, the leader of Right Sector, a coalition of hard-line nationalist groups, reacted defiantly to news of the settlement, drawing more cheers from the crowd.
“The agreements that were reached do not correspond to our aspirations,” he said. “Right Sector will not lay down arms. Right Sector will not lift the blockade of a single administrative building until our main demand is met — the resignation of Yanukovych.”
The fascist then stormed government buildings and the parliament where beleaguered opposition politicians then illegally "impeached" the president.
Sure, Yanukovich made a big mistake in believing that the rioters would adher to any agreement. But to spin Yanukovych's adherence to the agreement he signed and the fascists breaking it as a KGB conspiracy is quite a feat.
The riot police has been dissolved and the fascist in the new coup government are now in control of each and every security department:
[T]he most questions about the new government's direction will be raised by several key appointments of ultra-nationalist Svoboda (Freedom) and Pravyi Sektor (Right Sector) members to leading roles in the Defense Ministry, National Defense and Security Council, and the Prosecutor General's office.
These people, and the U.S. favorite Yatsenyuk, now have all the power of the state while the EU supported opposition UDAR party of former boxer Klitschko is not even part of the government. It too was nulanded. The new fascist monopoly of force will make sure things turn out well … or not.
But should this go wrong as the pogroms start, as it is likely to happen, Anne Applebaum will certainly claim that this coup was a KGB conspiracy to begin with. To Mrs. Applebaum ANYTHING that is anti-Russian must be from the free will of the people while anything that might be turnout to be somewhat pro-Russian must be a KGB plot.
Isn't being such a one-trick-pony a rather dull existence?
First, it is – of course! – a mere coincidence that applebaum is jewish as are pretty all of the criminals involved. Sure. No doubt. Who could imagine anything else?! Clear case of coincidence.
(Remember the rules! Whenever 90+% involved in a heinous crime are jewish then that’s coincidence. And don’t you dare to think differently, you anti-semite!)
I don’t care batshit what applebaum says.
I don’t care batshit what nuland says.
I don’t care batshit what zusa says, wants or wants not.
I don’t care batshit what zeu says, wants or wants not.
Why? Because whatever they say, want or want not is completely meaningless.
Now to Kadyrov.
First of all, kindly note the sublime but beautiful fragrance of humour.
The Nazi-thug that threatens and blackmails ukrainian officials (and doesnt’t care batshit about the “new government”) and walks around with Kalashnikov loves to tell that he faught in chechenia against Russia and how he enjoyed killing Russians.
Well, Kadyrov *is* from chechenia. And he is very experienced and respected for taking proper care of anti-Russian terrorists * smile
To be more precise, Kadyrov is known as a man who delivers results and doesn’t think expensive and onerous legal procedures are applicable to terrorists. And he *does* deliver result.
Now, by some coincidence, it so happens that on one day a) Kadyrov declares that he goes to ukraine, either as a peacemaker or as a soldier and b) on different places in Crimea 3 army trucks without number plates and “around 50 heavily armed men” acting politely and swiftly are reported. Also reported is that those men definitely are not some miltia but, as pretty much all witnesses, no matter their political side, describe they are evidently some extremely well trained and highly efficiently acting commando unit.
Coincidence, no doubt.
Let me guide your attention on Kadyrovs words for a moment. “As peacemaker or as soldier”. Now, for one, when Kadyrov says “peacemaker” he isn’t talking about a political dialogue. Rather he is talking about results without official and open military intervention (which would be the latter, “as soldier”).
They way I see it it’s quite simple.
Putin wanted – and did many years! – respect the souvereignty of ukraine. Well noted, although diverse ukrainian politicians were in the habit of betraying, selling out, and playing Russia.
By now it’s pretty evident to everyone that hell broke lose in ukraine and there is virtually no way to peacefully negotiate an acceptable solution. But still Putin doesn *not* want (but is ready) to intervene militarily.
Now, one, probably *the* major properties making the problem unsolvable (and creating it in the first place) is that brute force and illegal maneuvers have been used and there de facto is no legitimate state player. yanukovich is theoretically legitimate but practically incapacitated; the “new government” on the other hand has a certain amount of de facto power but is completely illegitimate. Furthermore, there is still freely roaming another party, the nazis, who de fato brought the “new government” to power, does however not care about its decisions.
In a situation like that there are only two – theoretically – possible solutions. Either usa calls back their thugs, which they probably could not even do, at least not the nazis) and are not ready to do anyway – or – Russia stupidly accepts as legitimate what it definitely knows to be illegitimate (and not sticking to agreements anyway) which Russia, of course will not do, no matter what.
The only reasonable and working approach in a situation like that is to respond equally that is, to confront a non-state operating illegally crime organization (like the nazis and the “new government”) with a non-state operation using similar means like brute force.
Hence Mr. Kadyrov (who will btw. take it as a personal pleasure to clean out the nazi vermin) and the “shadowy” 50 special ops men.
But there is another reason. It’s not only about cleaning ukraine. It’s also to prepare operational grounds for further “shadow forces”. Not because Putin is evil but because special ops is *the* classical zusa way to react to seriously shitty problems they created. So, desiring that or not, Putin must be ready for special ops anyway because he will sure enough not leave the field any longer to zusa criminals.
I privately assume (but don’t have any proof) that at the same time other inofficial special units have already been deeply penetrating ukraine incl. kyiv, first for recon operations and to then later arrest (or gratuitously kill) the leading figures of the ukrainian terrorists and traitors. I strongly assume that those figures will then be brought to Crimea (i.e. “ukraine” and not Russia), most probably to Simferopol and then to court. Sure enough, Russia will also try hard to gain more evidence of the historic and operational details of the putsch and its major players.
Once the vermin is cleaned out, yanukovich will return and a) grant far more autonomy for the eastern regions b) agree to early elections and c) stay interim president until election day.
Quite probably Putin will also strongly suggest that ukraine starts to seriously fight corruption.
This is the only realisticly feasible and even to a degree elegant solution.
Maybe the zamericans will send special ops, too. For that case there will be order to simply kill, uhm, sorry, arranging bad luck in traffic, them all after taking their confessions on video.

Here is a comment from a thread over at Sic Semper Tyrannis from poster David Habakkuk concerning a report from The Voice of Russia website. Supposedly, the hacker group Anonymous accessed communications between the Ukrainian insurgents and a group of Crimean Tatars plotting some future mayhem. Perhaps, as Mr. Habakkuk observed, this purported hack is a psyop, and then perhaps not. But it certainly bears watching, considering that there were reports of a fairly large demonstration of Islamist-oriented Tatars staged in Crimea recently, and bearing in mind the links between the Ukrainian neo-nazis and Wahabbi jihadis in Russia’s southern tier. Anyway, here is the comment:
David Habakkuk said…
All,
From a report on the ‘Voice of Russia’ site:
‘The well-known hacker group Anonymous posted online the correspondence between Andrei Tarasenko, the deputy head of the Ukrainian nationalist organization “Trizub imeni Stepan Bandera” and Aslan Omer Kyrymly, the Deputy Chairman of Crimea Tatar Mejlis.
‘One of the hackers writes: “It was a hard job, but we have still managed to hack an email of the Maidan activists. Surprisingly, the nationalists have developed links with the Crimean Tatars.”
‘Straight after that, hackers posted a quote from one of the emails:
‘“Everything is going according to the plan. We are ready to proceed with the second part of the play. As agreed earlier last week, my guys together with people from the “Karpatskaya Sech” and UNA-UNSO will arrive wherever is needed and with the necessary weapons. You only need to let us know the addresses of the warehouses in Simferopol, Sevastopol, Kerch, Feodosia and Yalta, and the time of the meeting…Don’t worry about the money, everything will be fine, just a little bit later. In the end, you know that if we succeed, you will get a lot more.”’
‘According to the text, the neo-Nazi organization “Trizub imeni Stepan Bandera” along with “Karpatskaya Sech” and UNA-UNSO are ready to fulfill all the dirty work: to kill, burn and banish all the opponents of Maidan from Crimea. Crimean Tatars should “only” provide them with “instruments” ie weapons and store them in the most important cities of the Crimea.’
(See http://voiceofrussia.com/news/2014_02_28/Anonimus-activists-manage-to-hack-Maidan-email-8716/ )
Of course, claims about hacked e-mails can be disinformation – as I think the e-mails purporting to show that British private security company Britam Defence might have been involved in ‘false flag’ operations intended to implicate the Syrian authorities in chemical weapons atrocities were. If anyone better qualified than I can hazard a view about the authenticity or lack of it of the e-mails posted by ‘Anonymous’, it might be helpful.
If however the Maidan people are seriously involved with the Crimean Tartars, then certainly I would expect that the Russian authorities will be taking steps with considerable urgency in relation to the Crimea. This could all get seriously bloody.
As to other parts of the South and East, I still think it makes more sense for Moscow to play a waiting game. This is all the more so, as although Yanukovich is of some use in bringing out the questionable nature of the claims to legitimacy of the those currently ruling in Kiev, it seems clear that he is almost universally regarded with contempt and loathing – by Putin among others.
To draw more of the South and East into its orbit, Moscow would need political leaders and forces who can mobilise popular support. It would further need those ruling in Kiev to continue shooting themselves in the foot. The appointments to key security positions, to which ‘b’ referred in his comment, suggests that it may be quite difficult for the E.U. and U.S. to stop them doing this. But even if this is so, for the full impact to be felt will take time.
Likewise, the economic policies of the ‘Maidan’ people seem rather likely to spark disillusionment, again particularly in the South and East. But this also is likely to take time.
On another point, the whole purpose of the Russian military reform has been to get away from the traditional model of a conscript ‘people’s army’, and replace it by a – relatively speaking – small, and largely professional force, with a body of career NCOs at its core. (So Putin has quoted Marshal Zhukov as saying that it was ‘me and the sergeants who command this army.)
If however the suggestion that ‘Banderistas’ are planning to take over Sevastopol is accurate – which it may not be – then I suspect that one might that the contemporary Russian army is all too happy to kill as many of them as they can.

I’m sorry, ToivoS,
but I think that’s bullshit and it’s following the same western thought pattern of getting more of no matter what that is driving the zusa-influence/controlled western part of the world and that is being relentlessly painted on Russia, too.
It seems that it just never comes to mind (for many) to understand things as simple as they really are, namely that Putin regretted Crimea having been given to ukraine decades ago but that he accepted it and simply behaved as a good neighbour.
After all, Putin could have created havoc in ukraine for many years – but he didn’t.
Putin could have bled out and taken over ukraine for many years – but he didn’t.
Putin could militarily take over ukraine right now – but he doesn’t.
As obviously some here plain and simple can’t understand that, let me help out and explain in a simple way.
You can try to buy and keep your wife, friends and employees dependent and to completely control them. And many times exactly this happens. But the price you pay is that you do not really have a wife or friends and you employees will by definition leave your company tomorrow morning for anyone paying more money.
Or you can try and accept that your wife, your friends and your employees are humans themselves, humans with their own strengths, weaknesses, desires, priorities, a.s.o – which is not a bad thing in itself. Sure, you will sometimes have to make compromises but at the same time you lay the groundworks for loyalty, honesty and also a lot of growth potential for anyone involved. Last but not least, isn’t it illogical and worthless to say “wife, I love you” or “friend, you are close and valuable to me” but de facto simply remote controlling them?
And what would be Russias or Putins need to be control and “more, more, more” freaks? Russia has pretty much everything and plenty enough of it. They simply do not need ukraines territory, they do not need ukraines industry nor do they need ukraines agriculture. In fact they do not even need the Sevastopol port.
Sure, Russia is interested e.g. in some airplane factories in ukraine. So what? Don’t you that buying shares in those companies or even buying their whole technologies, is WAY cheaper than taking over the country?
There is one single thing that really is close to Russia: Crimea. Simply because crustchev, himself a ukrainian (!) out of thin air gave away Crimea to ukraine.
But even there the reached compromise was unpleasant but acceptable, namely that Crimea is and stays largely autonomous, that the ethnic Russian there can live in peace and that Russia can keep the Sevastopol pool – not for strategic necessity but for basically emotional historic reasons.
And look at the facts!
It wasn’t Putin or Russia who started the riots. It wasn’t Putin or Russia who by force and terrorism implanted a puppet regime. And from what I know, even in Crimea non-Russians were not molested, robbed or beaten. The other way round, however, there is an endless series of everyday transgressions against ethnic Russians by ukrainians, e.g. by the police, often btw. explicitely sent from western ukraine in order to keep Crimea “straight” by terrorizing ethnic Russians!
And it also wasn’t Putin or Russia who broke virtually every agreement from the 90’s – it was zusa and zeu. If, just to demonstrate the point, Putin started a war and occupied those former Sovjet satellites which – illegaly! – became zato members and broke them free by force (and then left them alone and do whatever they please except joining zato), he would be perfectly right. But he didn’t. once more he politely stayed peaceful and polite.
And there is even more. If the ukrainians didn’t terrorize the ethnic Russians, they wouldn’t think about joining Russia in the first place. The readiness of ethnic Russians e.g. in Crimea to join Russia and to put themselves against Kyiv has its reason in west-ukraines long and bad behaviour, simple as that. And, of course, they see how much worse they are off than neighbouring regions in Russia.
So, just cut the bullshit and get informed before preaching propaganda and blaming Russia and Putin for everything incl. the last ice age 12.000+ years ago!
