Would you like to witness your tax dollars at work? Watch this Ukrainian Mig-29 Jet play chicken with a tree to try and scare Pro-Russian terrorists into submission. Something tells me the jet fuel for the plane was bought and paid for by the good old boys at the CIA. Thanks Obama. Unfortunately, zero fucks were given by the guy on the phone smoking a cigarette, clearly he was not impressed. Come on Obama, you can do better than that.
As the situation in Ukraine continues to deteriorate, in a televised Q&A session Putin has warned that any NATO expansion attempt will be met with force. His statement came in direct response to NATO’s Secretary General Rasmussen.
NATO’s Rasmussen pledged on Wednesday to step up patrols and boost its military presence along the alliance’s eastern border in Europe, citing Russia’s alleged involvement in the Ukrainian crisis. “We will have more planes in the air, more ships on the water, and more readiness on the land,” Rasmussen said in Brussels.
Putin On Ukraine.
“Have they lost their minds!?” said Putin during his annual question and answer session. “They are deploying tanks, armored vehicles and weaponry! Against whom?! Are they nuts?!”
The bottom line is as follows. For as long as the USA/NATO continue to play in Russia’s backyard things will continue to escalate. Putin will have no choice but to go into Ukraine to regain control. The real question here has nothing to do with Ukraine and everything to do with why the US and NATO are hell bent on pushing Russia in such a fashion over a small nation 6,000 miles away from an American shore. With the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan now over, does the US Industrial Military Complex need another enemy? I think you know the answer to that.

As NATO Expands, Russia Is Ready To Respond Google

Putin has criticized Ukraine’s coup-appointed government for using tanks and jets against its own people, during a live Q&A session. Branding Kiev’s approach as a “crime,” Putin said they must open dialogue with eastern Ukraine.
“Have they lost their minds!?” said Putin during his annual question and answer session. “They are deploying tanks, armored vehicles and weaponry! Against whom?! Are they nuts?!”
The Russian president said he thought that asking activists in the southeast of Ukraine to hand in their weapons was the right approach, but this measure should also be applied to armed Ukrainian nationalist groups.
Putin went on to say the crisis in Ukraine can only be solved through a compromise in the interests of the Ukrainian people.
“The coup-appointed government in Kiev needs to come to its senses before we can negotiate,” said Putin.
In spite of the fact the interim government is illegitimate, Russia is still prepared to open dialogue with them, said Putin. Ukraine’s interim government came to power on February 22 after weeks of violent protests on Kiev’s Independence Square. They ousted President Viktor Yanukovich and declared elections in May, something that violates the Ukrainian constitution.
NATO’s reinforcement of its presence in eastern Europe was also touched upon during Putin’s Q&A session. Head of Russian news agency Rossiya Segodnya, Dmitry Kiselev, said that he felt like NATO was “suffocating him” and described the organization as “a cancerous tumor.”
Dmitry Kiselev was included in the list of Russian politicians who were hit by Western sanctions following the Crimean referendum that led to the region’s integration with Russia.
In a tongue-in-cheek response, Putin told Kiselev not to be afraid of NATO, assuring him that “Russia would suffocate everyone else.”
NATO has accused Russia of attempting to destabilize Ukraine, something that Russia categorically denied. Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov told the press on Monday that Russia had no interest in promoting crisis in Ukraine, and the West needs to produce evidence to support its accusations.
