Robert Parry — The Mess that Nuland Made

As the Ukrainian army squares off against ultra-right and neo-Nazi militias in the west and violence against ethnic Russians continues in the east, the obvious folly of the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy has come into focus even for many who tried to ignore the facts, or what you might call “the mess that Victoria Nuland made.”

Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs “Toria” Nuland was the “mastermind” behind the Feb. 22, 2014 “regime change” in Ukraine, plotting the overthrow of the democratically elected government of President Viktor Yanukovych while convincing the ever-gullible U.S. mainstream media that the coup wasn’t really a coup but a victory for “democracy.”…

Much of what has happened, of course, was predictable and indeed was predicted, but neocon Nuland couldn’t resist the temptation to pull off a “regime change” that she could call her own. 

Her husband (and arch-neocon) Robert Kagan had co-founded the Project for the New American Century in 1998 around a demand for “regime change” in Iraq, a project that was accomplished in 2003 with President George W. Bush’s invasion.…

In other words, the neocons have struck again, dreaming up a “regime change” scheme that ignored practical realities, such as ethnic and religious fissures. Then, as the blood flowed and the suffering worsened, the neocons just sought out someone else to blame. 

Thus, it seems unlikely that Nuland, regarded by some in Washington as the new “star” in U.S. foreign policy, will be fired for her dangerous incompetence, just as most neocons who authored the Iraq disaster remain “respected” experts employed by major think tanks, given prized space on op-ed pages, and consulted at the highest levels of the U.S. government.

Nuland is slated for a promotion in a Clinton administration, with talk of her becoming secretary of state.

F. William Engdahl — An American Oligarch‘s Dirty Tale of Corruption

Soros is actually worse than you thought. turns out he is a specialist in disaster capitalism — because freedom — and, conveniently, lots of loot in his pockets. He is one the masterminds behind the privatization of the Ukraine on the same playbook that was used in Russia, spawning the Russian mafia and oligarchy, but making many Western "investors" much richer. But you knew that already.

Sputnik — Ukrainian PM in Delirious Rant Claims Russia Wants to Destabilize Planet

"Yats is the guy." — Victoria Nuland

In a frantic interview for Italian daily newspaper la Repubblica, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk demonstrated that he appears to be losing his grip on reality, stating that Russia is an aggressive state seeking to invade Europe and 'destabilize the planet', and simultaneously a weak country with a slew of unsolvable problems.

Yats is sounding like George Soros.

One head of the war party climbs down a bit, but leaves door open to defensive weapons. The Russian military has already declared unofficially that weaponizing the Ukraine will be regarded as a hostile act against Russia.

Why the Ukraine is doomed to lose this fight. It's troops are deserting. Conscriptable Ukrainians have already left in droves for refuge in Russia, and active duty troops are running.

The different is that the eastern Ukrainian "rebels" are fighting for their own land and the western Ukrainians are not. Moreover, being ruled by oligarchs, there is nothing in this for them. Who wants to die or be maimed for life for that?
