There's always a certain level of ambiguity regarding messages from 'behind the scenes'. And while messenger might not be responsible for the content of the message, the frequency of themes featured might hint on what one actually thinks about the matter at hand. If it's not confusing already, it'll be so quite soon, in fact, as soon as one analyses a couple of weekly messages, the content of which often contradicts itself. And yet, people refer to it as a plane truth, when forming opinion about the events they are no direct witnesses to, in a country they learned about from Wikipedia...
Off to the matter at hand: I've selected certain paragraphs which made me sit to this blog again. Because it hurts, really.
"Now let us go to the Ukraine. There, as our sources in Russia point out" - and since when Kremlin is very balanced and takes no part in what's happening in my country? Are there any sources in the actual ground zero that are not affiliated with the faction that would benefit from current chaos?
"an English speaking mercenary army" - Ukrainians are very chatty and observant, if there be a foreigner walking he would attract immediate attention. Not to mention a whole bunch of them. Apart from the messages in Kremlin related news-agencies no one was able to support or at least to pinpoint the location of English speaking 'mercenary army'.
"kicked out a legitimate government and installed a puppet regime" - Yanukovich fled on his own, no one chased him. And rigged elections is common knowledge for Ukrainians. Party of Regions used blackmail and threats to get what they couldn't rig. Common knowledge. Surprised, that 'sources' didn't mention it. Or it was okay while Yanukovich played along to certain tune, eh?
"that immediately began provocations against Russia and Russian speakers inside the Ukraine" - really? And what would that be? I'd like a list.
"The mercenaries further threatened to cut off the gas pipeline linking Russia to Germany" - again, where and when? If it's about Yarosh discussing a possibility of exploding the pipeline, it was just a consideration of dire measures in case things turn really ugly. Not to mention that such an event would be very convenient excuse for both EU and Russia to justify a 'peacemaker presence' of Gazprom's specops that would 'secure the pipeline' which, should I remind the 'sources' spans the whole Ukraine. Enter the 'division' scenario. Once again beneficial for Kremlin.
"They, like ISIS, also claim to have non-government controlled nuclear weapons" - lovely. And where are they stored? All facilities of those have been dismantled long ago after the Washington memorandum, under which Russia, Great Britain, US et al guaranteed the safety and intactness of Ukraine's borders, it's economy etc. The economy part has been broken during the 'customs bans' that Russia unleashed on certain export sensitive industries of Ukraine during recent years.
"This campaign is also being run by the Rand Corporation, according to multiple sources" - so first it was Blackwater, but when it didn't play out, it's another corporation?
"Furthermore, a Russian intelligence source told the WDS they had issued a warning they were going to attack the Crimean capital of Kiev with Nuclear weapons if the puppet regime took over the Russian speaking Ukrainian city of Donetsk" - eh.. where? I have lived more than 20 years in Ukraine, and never have I encountered Crimean capital of Kiev. That must be from a parallel reality, the same one that has 'English speaking mercenaries'.
"The WDS then informed the Russians there would be no sanctions if they went ahead and annexed the Russian speaking portions of the Ukraine" - of that I had no doubt, sadly. And how's the landgrabbing any different from what they accuse the US of? Oh, maybe it's because they're the ones doing the landgrabbing and not the US.
I so wanted to believe that there were powers aiming to create a better future for all. This kid's belief in superheroes that save the world. Sadly, it turns out that there's no such thing. Just factions pursuing their interests...
