I cringe, just a little bit, when I pay my taxes. Not because of the dollar values involved, but because I realize that a small portion of the proceeds goes towards waging warfare and killing thousands of people (100K-500K death in Iraq alone) in countries most Americans can’t even identify on a map. Today, the Obama administration, the industrial military complex and the warmongers throughout the US are hell bent on restarting the Cold War over an irrelevant nation 6,000 miles from an American shore. Here is the latest and what you need to know…..

• Do not hurt Russian people with sanctions: Jimmy Carter – What kind of society do we live in when such a peaceful statement by a former president is seen as “weak and crazy”?
• Ukraine’s leaders say have U.S. backing to take on ‘aggressors’ – Yep, let’s start another massive war against Russia over Ukraine as the US Government aligns itself with Neo-Nazis.
• Churkin: US behind Ukraine crisis after investing $5bn in ‘regime change’ – You have got to be a special kind of stupid not to understand that.
• US is ‘running show’ in Ukraine – Lavrov – Yep, everyone knows that, but let’s talk about freedom, democracy, rainbows and unicorns that Ukrainian people will get as the US gets involved.
• Sergey Lavrov: “If Russian Troops Or People Attacked, We’ll Retaliate”

While most Americans could care less, they should. Short-term, this conflict with Russia will have an impact on the US Economy and our capital markets. Long-term, we will face something so horrific that WWII will look like a picnic. I have already outlined the future in my comprehensive report Nuclear World War 3 Is Coming Soon.When, How & Why. Please note how accurately my “fundamental” predictions are lining up with what’s happening in the real world. Did you enjoy this article?

Paris (AFP) – Former US president Jimmy Carter said Tuesday the West should not impose sanctions that would hurt the Russian people over their leaders’ actions in Ukraine.

“So far, we have limited the sanctions to the leadership of Russia, and I think that is the proper approach,” the Nobel peace laureate told AFP on the sidelines of a discussion in Paris on climate change.

“I don’t think we would go so far as to impose sanctions that would hurt the Russian people.”

The statesman was taking part in a meeting with students as a member of The Elders group set up to promote human rights around the world.

US Vice President Joe Biden earlier warned Russia of “more costs” and “greater isolation” if it continued to “pull Ukraine apart”.

Carter, who is credited with brokering the 1978 Cape David peace accords between Egypt and Israel and establishing US diplomatic relations with China, said Russia’s takeover of Crimea had been “inevitable”.

“I don’t think anything could have been done by the US or European countries or anyone else to prevent that eventuality.

“Russia has always considered Crimea to be part of Russia.”

And he said: “my hope and my belief is that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin is not going to use military force” in eastern Ukraine.

“He is going to try to use other means to convince those people who live there that their best option is to cast their lot more towards Russia than towards the West. So I don’t think there is anything we can do that is going to deter Putin.”

Carter said Ukrainians must be allowed to decide their own fate.

And he said he hoped they would be supported by Russia from the East and the United States and Europe from the West so as to “not be torn between the two.”

The US and European Union have imposed targeted sanctions on members of Putin’s inner circle over the crisis and Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea peninsula. They have threatened more wide-ranging measures as tensions over the former Soviet republic continue to spiral.

I won’t go into too much detail here and I encourage you to research the subject matter at hand on your own accord, but here is what you need to know about Ukraine’s new government. Maidan, a right wing subset of Ukrainian politics is a scum of the earth that follows neo-nazi ideology. Just to give you an idea, this same subset of Ukrainian population joined the invading German army in 1941 and happily proceeded to go on a killing spree, helping the German SS kill millions of Jews, Russians and Ukrainians.

My question is……What the fuck is Joe Biden doing in Ukraine proclaiming his undying love and support for such a government? Unfortunately, you know the answer to that. The US Government, the industrial military complex and the warmongers throughout the US are hell bent on starting some some sort of conflict with Russia over an irrelevant nation 6,000 miles away from an American shore.

U.S. says will act ‘in days’ if no Russian action in Ukraine

I have said it before and I will say it again. Any further sanctions against Russia will escalate this conflict to no end. If you believe that Russia will not respond in kind and the US financial markets will not feel the impact, well, you are about to lose a lot of money.

Why Is The Obama Administration Standing With The New Neo-Nazi Government In Ukraine? I Am Outraged Google

Reuters: U.S. says will act ‘in days’ if no Russian action in Ukraine

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States’ government said on Monday it will decide “in days” on additional sanctions if Russia does not take steps to implement an agreement to ease tensions in Ukraine reached in Geneva last week.

The steps include publicly calling on pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine to vacate occupied buildings and checkpoints, accept an amnesty and address their grievances politically, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.

“If they don’t take steps in the coming days, there’ll be consequences,” she said at a Monday news briefing. “Obviously, we would have to make a decision in the matter of – in a matter of days – if there are going to be consequences for inaction.”

Some U.S. lawmakers have been clamoring for President Barack Obama’s administration to impose stiff new sanctions on Russia’s energy industry and major banks to encourage President Vladimir Putin to withdraw troops from the Ukrainian border and discourage further Russian incursions into Ukrainian territory.

“I think it’s time to move on the next round of sanctions,” Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy told Reuters on Monday, although he added that he backed giving Moscow two to three days to implement the Geneva agreement.

“I think it is important to explore diplomatic solutions when they potentially become available,” the Democratic chairman of the Senate’s Europe subcommittee said in a telephone interview.

“The Russians were willing to sit down in Geneva for the first time across the table from their Ukrainian counterparts, I think that discussion was worthwhile. I don’t think the jury is fully in on the Geneva agreement,” he said.

‘GOING TO LOSE EASTERN UKRAINE’

Some members of Congress have made it clear they do not believe sanctions already in place – such as travel restrictions on individuals announced by the Obama administration – will stop Moscow.

“I think we’re going to lose eastern Ukraine if we continue as we are,” U.S. Senator Bob Corker, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said on NBC television’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

Washington and Moscow each put the onus on the other to ensure tensions are eased in the worst confrontation between Russia and the West since the Cold War.

“If there’s no progress, we remain prepared, along with our European and G-7 partners, to impose additional costs. So there’ll need to be decisions made in a matter of days,” Psaki said.

In a telephone call on Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov asked U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to “influence Kiev, not let hotheads there provoke a bloody conflict, and impel the current Ukrainian leadership to fulfill its obligations unflaggingly,” Russia’s Foreign Ministry said.

But Kerry said casting doubt on Ukraine’s commitment to the accord “flies in the face of the facts,” according to Psaki.

Ukraine has sent senior representatives to the east with representatives from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), put forth an amnesty bill for separatists to give up public buildings and weapons and called an Easter pause in military operations, Kerry said.

“He asked that Russia now demonstrate an equal level of commitment to the Geneva agreement in both its rhetoric and its actions,” Psaki said, such as by sending its own senior representative to work with the OSCE.

Kerry also asked Russia to join the United States in seeking the release of Imra Krat, a Ukrainian journalist being held by pro-Russian separatists in the eastern part of the country, she said.
