Russian
Embassy in Kiev under attack - possible chemical attack in the East
tonight - situation in Iraq

just emailed me to let me know that the Russian Embassy in Kiev is
under attack by neo-Nazi rioters. The attack is streamed live
here:
Also,
there is a 90% probability the gaz attack in Novorossiya will be
tonight during the seizing and burning of the Russian Embassy in
Kiev as "The World's" attention is focused on Kiev.
I
would add that my "beloved" BBC
only reports Poroshenko's threats following
the downing of the Ukie Il-76 by the NDF.
Also,
While
I do not have the energy to follow the events in both locations,
what is taking place in Iraq is nothing short of amazing.
Think of it - when Uncle Sam attacked Iraq, al-Qaeda basically did
not exist there (except in Saddam's jails). Now, after a
decade of "US-style nation building" the local franchise
of al-Qaeda is in full control of Mosul, Falludjah, Tikrit, Ramadi
and many other. And now, years after Dubya's "mission
accomplished" we have Barak "no we can't" Obama
having to decide whether to bring back the "official" US
military in (the "private" or "unofficial" never
left) or whether to provide air cover for the Iranian Pasdaran.
Or maybe attack them too? Who knows what kind of idiotic plan
Obombya and his advisers can come up with? What is certain is
that this is a total disgrace for a country which fancies itself as
a superpower. Think of it:
Lebanon:
US wanted a new Middle-East. Fail.
Iraq:
US wanted to built a client-state. Fail.
Afghanistan:
US wanted to eliminate the Taliban. Fail.
Pakistan:
US wanted to eliminate the Taliban. Fail.
Syria:
US wanted to regime-change Assad. Fail.
Egypt:
US wanted to create a client state. Fail.
Libya:
US wanted to create a client state. Fail.
Chechnia:
US wanted to subvert Russia and control the Caucaus. Fail.
Georgia:
US wanted to subvert Russia and control the Caucasus. Fail.
KSA:
US wanted an alliance with KSA over Syria. Fail
Qatar:
US wanted Qatari support over oil prices and Russia. Fail.
Yemen:
US wanted to destroy al-Qaeda. Fail.
Somalia:
20 years ago the US wanted to take Somalia under control. Fail.
And
the list goes on and on and one all around the planet.
Remember when Obama said that Russia was a "regional power"?
I wonder whether he said that with envy as the US is not even
capable of dealing with Mexico, nevermind the middle east.
These
examples also show how weak in impotent the US military has become.
It is just powerful enough to make a bloody mess out of a small
country, but if we accept that warfare is the pursuit of other
means, than the US military is basically useless as it has failed to
secure a US political objectives since a long while already, no less
than 20 years or even many more...
It
will be interesting to see what happens in Iraq. What is
certain is that Iran will eventually have to fix that mess.
That, in turn, will have a direct impact on the war against Syria
which, in turn, will strengthen Hezbollah which, in turn, will
strengthen the position of Iraq. There is a American
expression for the US foreign policy. It is called a
"clusterf..." and that is exactly what it is.
Which
makes me wonder how a single European can seriously believe that
handing over the entire Ukrainian crisis to the US is a smart idea?
What
would it take to wake up these comatose EU politicians?
As
for the central Europeans a la Poland, Lithuania, Romania or
Bulgaria - they picked Uncle Sam as their patron and sold their
souls to him for pennies (talk about betting on the wrong horse!).
And for that they will always be treated with contempt by their
neighbors, both from the East and from the West. Oh yes, there
will be hell to pay for those who sold out for so cheap and,
frankly, I cannot honestly say that I feel sorry for them. As
the Russian saying goes "they got what they fought for".
The
Saker
A maternity hospital was also bombarded by Ukrainian artillery
Ukrainian army shells Slavyansk hospitals, one nurse killed
A nurse died in the city of Slavyansk after a Ukrainian military shell hit a local hospital on Saturday. Meanwhile, a Ruptly journalist came under fire while visiting a shelled maternity hospital in the eastern Ukrainian city.
RT,
15 June, 2014,
The
Ukrainian army resumed the shelling of Slavyansk on Saturday
afternoon, causing more damage to the city and igniting fires, the
local administration told RIA Novosti.
“In
the afternoon the Ukrainian army shelled the center of Slavyansk,
apparently trying to hit the self-defense forces. One of the shells
hit the hospital. Two people were injured. One of them – a
seriously injured nurse – passed away,”
the source said.
All
the patients and staff of the hospital took shelter in the basement
when the shelling began.
In another incident, 10
journalists came under artillery fire while visiting a shelled
maternity hospital in Slavyansk. They were forced to hide in the
hospital’s basement for about 20 minutes before coming out, but the
shelling started again once they attempted to leave the building. The
maternity hospital was evacuated a week ago.
One
of the journalists caught in the gunfire, Andrey Krasnoschekov,
described the situation to RT.
“When
we, a group of journalists, got information that a maternity hospital
in the town center has been damaged we headed there, started
recording interviews in the hospital’s yard, then entered the
building and at that moment the new attack started,” he
said.
“We
ran into the basement and stayed there for 20 minutes. Then we left
the building, but heard new shelling quite close and had to hide
again. The building is quite seriously damaged, nearly all the
windows are broken,” he
added.
On
Saturday, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said the Ukrainian
army had launched a counter-offensive for the first time.
“You
should know that today the Ukrainian army for the first time launched
a counter-offensive. Our troops started to press terrorists,” the
president said. “I
tasked the armed forces of Ukraine to take control of Ukraine’s
state border through which terrorists get weapons, equipment,
support, and money,"
he said.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military has cracked
down on self-defense forces in Kramatorsk, killing more
than 50 people and injuring 150 others in an airstrike, military
operation spokesperson Vladislav Seleznev said on his Facebook
page.
Two self-defense checkpoints around Lugansk were
also destroyed on Saturday.
Poroshenko
also announced that the national army gained control of 11
residential areas in southeastern Ukraine which were previously under
the control of self-defense forces.

“Total

was taken down by local militia forces just before it started its
descent toward Lugansk Airport.
