Fascist Ukrainian Defense Minister’s War Orders Defied
The fascist new defense minister of Ukraine ordered to start a war but was disobeyed. He says that is "regrettable."
Not found this in any English language news yet but several German media reports mention this (my translation from FAZ) :
Meanwhile it became clear that the commanders of Ukrainian warships on the Crimea defied orders from the provisional government in Kiev to use their arms. The Ukrainian minister of defense Ihor Tenyukh said on Sunday in Kiev, Russia managed "despite orders to all commanders to use weapons" to take over the ships. "Regrettably" the commanders decided themselves on how to proceed, he said.
Tenyugh is a member of the fascist Svoboda party that took part in the February 21 coup against the legitimate Ukrainian government. His legally dubious order to shoot at Russian troops in a rather hopeless situation could have easily started a larger war.
My deep gratitude to all those Ukrainian commanders who defied the lunatic order to start a hot war with Russia and allowed a peaceful handover of their equipment to Russian forces.
interesting analysis: Google trans:
Kiev Maidan could move to Yerevan .
As expected IA REX, after the reunification of the Crimea with Russia ” vibrated ” Transcaucasia , extremely sensitive , both global and regional balance of political forces. In Tbilisi, Baku and Yerevan , ” with bated breath ” waiting for the outcome of the operation “Ukraine” , knowing that , regardless of the outcome, it is not only about the geopolitical changes of tectonic nature , but also the possibilities of the U.S. and its partners to implement its post-Soviet space former policy . Therefore, we decided to initially focus on some contour features events in the Ukraine, the Caucasus countries because they can become a “political tool .”
Once in Kiev began ” Maidanskaya revolution” , many thought that Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych , has refused to sign an association agreement with the EU , the West – for the edification of others – want ” public political spanking ” , exploiting and stimulating accumulated in society and social political discontent ” oligarchy .” But the West , like Gogol’s noncommissioned officer’s widow , ” whipped himself ” as the Maidan in Kiev there was a deviation from the classical scenario “color revolution .” Everything had to go a different way: in 2015, Ukraine had a presidential election , the results of which you can declare a ” rigged ” , which could be a cause for mass protests . Ready for it by various movements , foundations and networks. However, the writers decided to use the fact of the Winter Olympics in Sochi , believing that the Russian leadership will be constrained in their possible counteractions , late in the decision-making or “After all the brakes .”
But Ukrainian President Yanukovych showed unexpected flexibility. February 21 signing an agreement with opposition forces , with the participation of the foreign ministers of France , Germany and Poland , he agreed to a coalition government , offering his head Arseniy Yatsenyuk , including in the category “moderate nationalists” and early presidential elections – in December. Up to this point the “revolutionary process ” in Ukraine developed in the format of legitimacy. However, Ukrainian radical nationalists , fearing a compromise solution between Yanukovych and ” moderate nationalists ” behind them , went on seizing the initiative , aiming at providing the physical destruction of Yanukovych. Later on he himself said in Rostov -on-Don at the press conference . But be that as it may , his temporary “disappearance” of the political field in Ukraine further action infuriated the opposition and radical maydanovtsev beyond the law. It is reminiscent of an episode of Russian history, when Tsar Ivan the Terrible , introducing Oprichnina fled to Alexander suburb , where a deputation waited Moscow boyars . But Ukrainian ” boyars ” not resist the temptation to declare ” Hetman Yanukovych overthrown ” and formed his government .
Are Western developers expect script ” Ukrainian shocks” , and especially the U.S. , this turn of events is difficult to say . But the fact is that the current government in this country is illegitimate , as well as all of its subsequent decisions . When the Verkhovna Rada passed a law depriving the Russian language the status of regional , Ukraine, and in particular in the Crimea, where the vast majority of the population is Russian , began irreversible processes that resulted in the return of the Crimea to Russia . As he wrote in this connection, one European analyst , ” in the United States , few thought the situation when the heat kindled on Independence revolutionary fire warms only the Kremlin .” And not only that . Now the Kremlin makes the U.S. and its Western partners by ” pull the chestnuts ” of this fire .
In Ukraine, there is such a disposition : the legitimate president Yanukovych illegitimate Kiev government, which does not recognize Moscow, acute social and economic crisis , the Maidan is ” Right sector “, which has already declared its readiness to overthrow the government Yatsenuk . West continues a policy of political bluff. On the sidelines of an EU summit in Brussels Yatsenyuk signed with EU leaders Herman Van Rompuy and Jose Manuel Barroso agreement on political association , which, incidentally , is said about the coordination of defense policy. At the same time, Foreign Minister of Italy ‘s Federica Mogerini said that ” Ukraine should join NATO, ” and should be limited to ” strong partnership NATO .” The press center of NATO also reported that the alliance “does not intend to send troops to protect Ukraine ,” because ” the current crisis should find a peaceful political solution , including the one to go for a direct dialogue with the authorities of Ukraine.” In short , Ukraine abandoned.
Now many European experts believe that without Russia’s participation to resolve the crisis would be extremely difficult , especially in a situation where the EU has gone on expanding sanctions against it . But what ? According to the BBC, ” it’s not the sanctions that could seriously affect the Russian economy ,” it is “symbolic selectively directed sanctions scheme which did not clear .” As for the independent actions of Brussels , then , as suggested by the head of the Ukrainian edition of DW Bernd Johann , ” right-wing politicians who are still in the Government , it is necessary to remove from power ,” that ” is only possible in the elections ” , unless of course – we would add – these forces staged another coup. So what lies ahead in this country has a lot of political upheaval . Ukrainian “party” has just begun.
Such a relatively detailed analysis of the situation in Ukraine due to the fact that the subjects of the crisis in the country could be repeated in other post-Soviet countries , especially in the Caucasus , which already gained “experience” in the conduct of “color revolutions” . At the same time draw attention to some important nuances . So , NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen , speaking about the strategic perspective block ” after the Crimea” , said that at the upcoming September in Wales summit of foreign ministers of NATO countries ‘ need to move forward and reflect the progress that has been made , at least in some candidate countries “, but in Transcaucasia referring only Georgia . So for the foreseeable future from the scope of the global interests of NATO , Armenia falls – for obvious reasons, because it is a member OBKB – and Azerbaydzhan.Sluchayno it?
Armenia made a corresponding statement in the Crimea , sparking criticism from the U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John Heffern . But shortly before the referendum in the Crimea, the U.S. State Department issued a report on human rights in the world, in which , inter alia, stated that ” with the support of the Armenian separatists continue to control most of the Nagorno- Karabakh and seven other Azerbaijani territories.” It is no coincidence that another U.S. ambassador – Azerbaijan – Richard Morningstar said : ” The situation in Ukraine with a new intensity raises the question of the need to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.”
Decisions on what platform , if the experience of Crimea showed that Moscow, as one of the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group on Karabakh conflict , now in solving problems of self-determination and territorial integrity became the guide proposed by the United States to determine the principles of the independent status of Kosovo?
But this is not the only intrigue created in this direction. So after the reunification of the Crimea with Russia , and after a known reaction to this action of President Serzh Sargsyan , speaking in Brussels , Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan made a surprise announcement . According to him , the signing of the political part of the Association Agreement with the EU – the best way to Armenia. That is, despite the membership in the CSTO , the Prime Minister of Armenia intends to Kiev with illegitimate and still be in the area of European defense policy coordination . Why , it is well known what the results in Ukraine led policy of ” double standards” of President Viktor Yanukovych ?
Perhaps this is due to the fact that in Armenia became determined the political forces that the alliance with the West as a “punishment” Armenian President Sargsyan for pro-Russian course , there are going to implement another “color revolution” ?
If so , the course of further developments in Armenia is calculated easily . In the center of Yerevan will be arranged ” Kiev Maidan ” when authorities act against pro-Western residents of the capital . They , of course, will be fair to criticize the authorities for the unresolved problems that have accumulated , for cronyism , corruption , etc. But behind them will stand , as in Kiev, nationalist forces , what Armenia has . In this situation , Moscow to deprive Azerbaijan temptation to solve the Karabakh issue by force – which in practice will lead to another Armenian massacres – of course, at the initiative of Stepanakert recognize Karabakh’s independence , which in that situation would be just to go nowhere .
It is no accident the other day , President Ilham Aliyev said with such certainty that ” Azerbaijan will restore its territorial integrity,” although did virtually no step guidance for “bridges” with Stepanakert . Then, to Karabakh is not got nationalists Baku or Yerevan , of course, with the consent of the authorities in Stepanakert , is the procedure for the return of Karabakh to Russia . And also because the Karabakh Armenians will have nowhere to go . That is, as in Abkhazia, South Ossetia , in the Crimea, and in Karabakh Moscow will act as a liberator or guarantor save nations and ethnic groups , for various reasons, find themselves in danger.
So objectively Caucasian nationalists , like their Ukrainian colleagues , strengthen the position of Russia in the former Soviet space. As for the West, for its policy of military and political bluff in this region comes to an end . All repeats. In the early 1920s, it was Europe , concluded a secret agreement with Moscow Bolsheviks , ensure the preservation of its primarily economic interests in the region, ” passed ” Baku , Yerevan and Tbilisi.
