I
am not afraid of war with Russia: Poroshenko
Ukrainian
President Petro Poroshenko says Kiev is ready for a “total war”
with Russia as clashes continue in the eastern part of the country.

"I
am not afraid of a war with Russian troops," the Ukrainian
president told the German daily, Bild,
in an interview on Sunday.
"We
are prepared for a scenario of total war…. We don't want war, we
want peace and we are fighting for European values. But Russia does
not respect any agreement," Poroshenko dded.
The
Ukrainian president’s comments came amid ongoing clashes around the
pro-Russians' stronghold of Donets.
Kiev
and the pro-Russians inked a truce pact in early September in an
effort to put an end to heavy clashes in Ukraine’s eastern
provinces, but the fighting continues unabated.
"Our
army is now in a better state than it was five months ago and we are
being supported by the entire world," Poroshenko said, adding,
"More than anything we want peace, but we must at the moment
face up to the worst-case scenario."
The
crisis in Ukraine was high on the agenda at a summit of leaders of
the world’s 20 major economies, known as the G20, in the Australian
city of Brisbane. Western leaders at the summit criticized Russian
President Vladimir Putin and accused Moscow of being involved in the
Ukrainian crisis.
Putin’s
foreign policy adviser, Yuri Ushakov, told reporters at the G20
summit earlier on Saturday that Moscow is not involved in the
conflict in eastern Ukraine and is not responsible for the escalation
of the violence there.
Ukraine’s
mainly Russian-speaking regions in the east have witnessed deadly
clashes between pro-Russia activists and the Ukrainian army since
Kiev launched military operations to silence the pro-Russians in
mid-April.
According
to the latest figures by the United Nations, more than 4,000 people
have been killed and over 9,300 others injured in the fighting. In
addition, hundreds of thousands of people have been forced from their
homes.

AngloZionist Empire has truly become an "Empire of Illusions"

This
is bizarre. The recent two summits (APEC and G20) have, I would
argue, ended up as a disaster for the US and its allies
(see here, here and here)
while Russia, China and the rest of the BRICS are clearly in control
of the situation, yet there are still those who believe the western
corporate media which wants to portray Putin are Russia as "weak".
I
suppose in our age of virtual reality perceptions are everything, and
in this case such perceptions are clearly molded by exposure to the
western corporate media whose brainwashing skills are nothing short
of amazing. But let's look at the facts.
The
single biggest development which came out of these two summits is
that Xi Jinping has clearly and, for the first time, openly shown
that he fully support Putin and Russia.
I
remember how earlier this year there were many who were doubting
China's policies towards Russia, many were saying that the
"Walmart-effect" (the magnitude US-China economic ties)
would never allow China to side with Russia against the US and yet
this is exactly what has happened on at least three levels:
1.
Economic: not only have Russia and China have signed what can only be
called mega-contracts, but the Chinese were more than happy to offer
Russian banks (under US/EU sanctions) access to Chinese credits.
China is also helping Russia to replace SWIFT.
2.
Political: if anything, the Chinese went out of their way to show
that not only was Russia not isolated, but that Putin was the guest
of honor at the APEC - thereby openly defying the US/EU.
3.
Military: Russia and China are now engaged in regular large
size joint military exercises including naval and ground operations.
Not only are these two training together, they are regularly
practicing the creation of joint staffs.
This
really should not have come as a surprise to anybody: Russia and
China are truly *ideal* partners, and they perfectly complement to
each other. What one needs, the other has, and vice-versa.
Not only that, but both have been - and still are - bullied by the
USA so much that I would argue that the Empire is literally pushing
them into each other's hands. Obama has repeatedly and openly
threatened both Russia and China, send them all sorts of ultimatums,
tried to assemble coalitions against them and, of course, surrounded
both with military bases and US anti-missile systems.
What
Obama and his advisors have failed to realize is this: Russia
and China (backed by the BRICS, SCO, CSTO, EEU)
are far more powerful than the US/EU block in political, economic and
military terms.
This is the big news, the major strategic development, the
geopolitical tectonic shift, which the Empire's corporate media is
trying so hard to obfuscate. As for western leaders, they are
simply delusional and they have manifestly fallen into the old trap
of believing their own propaganda. But, as the expression goes, "when
your head is in the sand, your butt is in the air" and reality
has now reasserted itself with a very powerful and painful bite.
The
most ridiculous moment of last week's summit came when Obama, after
having failed to achieve any of his objectives against Russia or
China, made a speech where he seriously spoke of the importance of
"American leadership". It was comical to the point of
being embarrassing. On Russian TV the commentators where
literally laughing when reporting this.
As
for Putin, obviously sure of his position, he openly poked fun at the
idiocy of the US/EU leaders: "Have
they thought about what they are doing at all or not? Or has politics
blinded them? As we know eyes constitute a peripheral part of brain.
Was something switched off in their brains?".
Combined with now an open
warning that Russia would not allow the US/EU to crush the
Novorussian resistance,
Putin's message is blunt and clear: western leaders are driving their
empire into a wall. [If you have not done so already, I urge
you to carefully parse Putin's
recent interview with ARD].
The
AngloZionist Empire has truly become an "Empire of Illusions"
(to use Chris
Hedges expression)
where facts matter much less than spin, where the normal way to cope
with a challenge is to deny its existence, were self-deception is a
way of life.
The
writing is on the wall. It has been there for a long while.
The
problem is that nobody wants to read it.
The
Saker
I
am absolutely flabbergasted that the headlines of the last couple of
days (and Putin's interview with the Germans), has so little coverage
or comment. Perhaps it does not suit some of the narrative to hear
that Putin will
not allow the annihilation of Ukraine
The
Nazi plan for Novorussia: children bombed into basements and total
war
You
probably have not heard about that, but the Junta in Kiev has
officially declared that it
plans to suspend the European Convention on Human Rights in
Novorussia.
Of course, considering that Poroshenko
has also declared that he is ready for 'total war' with Russia,
this is hardly surprising, and it's not like the Ukrainian death
squads have ever let any kind of human rights stand in the way of
their atrocities against the civilian population of the Donbass.
As for Poroshenko, he appears to be practicing for the upcoming
'total war' against Russia by waging a 'total war' against his own
people. Here is, in his own words, how he plans to win the war
against "these people":
So the plan is clear: total ethnic cleansing of Novorussia, if needed by means of a total economic blockade and/or a new military offensive.
In the meantime, Human Rights Watch is seriously publishing reports about human rights violations in Crimea, I kid you not. You got to love these noble humanitarians
