Meanwhile, many of the EU-flag waving protestors who took to the streets the moment the trade talks fell apart are not Europhile enough to want to see their country thorn apart and wrecked by a proxy war.

This is yet another Western mess, right on the heels of the Syria debacle, when they were caught spreading lies and arming non-Syrian Islamic extremists while staged events where being unearthed, first by the alternative media, then by the mainstream media, finding it hard to spin the evidence around.

A document from the British foreign ministry to the Cabinet’s office, carelessly handled across the street and photographed by the press, seems to support this assessment.

Military action is out of the question.

Only the moral authority of an overwhelming genuine stand against Putin’s retrograde KGB policies, within and outside Russia, and sustained economic pressure that hurts Russia, and collaterally other countries, will restrain Putin.

As for Malta, let carnival reign.

But they do have a legal government. The new PM is Victoria Nuland’s favourite, ‘Yats’, as she calls him, the former IMF-appointed central banker. We know he’s her choice through a phone leak, you see – it even hit the mainstream media.

Ms Nuland is the US Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia, so she knows what’s best for the people of Ukraine, who evidently don’t, having four years ago elected a corrupt president.

The post-coup, US-EU-IMF appointed government has now placed their best oligarch friends to top democratic posts to rule over the eastern dissenting Russians and Russian-speakers who are saying ‘No’ to the EUSSR.

Crimea, that Russian gem which served as Krushchev’s gift to the people of Ukraine in 1954, is nearly entirely populated by Russians. Everything in Ukraine is in Russian, just less in the western part of the country.

So Ukraine, the cradle of ancient Rus, the survivor of Soros’ Orange Revolution, is finally going into EU-IMF serfdom – wholly, if they can manage to drag the eastern and southern flanks with them. No amount of lies and disinformation will make that an easy feat, however.

And remember, ‘u-kraij-ina’ is a Russian derivative for ‘borderland’. By the time the IMF finishes it off with a multi-billion-euro debt-aid programme, an indebted Ukraine will be ready to become an EU borderland and continue paying perpetual tributes to our Overlords in compound interest.

Welcome to the Eurozone Federation, missna nghidulhom. Minn issa!

Many Russians live in Ukraine, especially in Crimea , plus the Crimea was handed to the Ukraine in 1954 when it was part of the USSR.

Under the 1994 agreement, under any sense of moral duty, any sense of national pride or simply as a matter of being the power in the region that Russia has power to prevent chaos.

There is no question that Russia is within her right to protect these people in this way. The only people who can shriek about the international law ironically are the people who have been violating it without cease for at least the last 15 years flagrantly and on view for all the world to view and that is these Ukrainian neo-Nazis.

Russia will come out of this better than they went in. Crimea is basically is a de-facto secession already. The Western Ukraine is a mess. They are going to scream and rebel when austerity via EU membership comes in and ruins their lives much more than Yanukovich ever could have. And when the EU starts to place 3rd world refugees there, these neo- Nazis will go wild with rage and hate.

It is an absolute disaster for the West, a security disaster for Russia, and there is no way for it to end well except for the eventual peaceful partition of the country.

Yes, I follow that channel.

They’re hilarious, Brussels obsessed with Russia and doing everything to destabilise Ukraine.

And not a word to the ones killed by Yanukovych. Or the fact he had been in talks with the EU until he was forced to rescind everything, filling every square, ask that Putin be involved and have half the country occupied.

Interesting take on a nation’s sovereignity coming from you,

To think those neo-Nazis would instantly group into the Alliance.You’ll be stating Ukraine’s been forced into the EU next.

A huge chunk of the eastern part of Ukraine is of the same opinion. There is no legal government running the place at present, so I cannot understand which legal government in Ukraine the Maltese government is currently supporting or with whom Kerry is signing deals re future aid to Ukraine.

Judging by what was said on CNN, SKY and other credible news channels, the largest, most influential, richest and most powerful EU country, Germany, has no intention of censuring Putin too strongly because of the huge economic interests both countries have in common.

‘Blind to the bigger picture’ implies ‘stupid’ while ‘in spite of the bigger picture’ implies intentionally self-serving evil. ‘Stupid’ is not clever at getting all his ducks in a row therefore be careful of underestimation. Gullibility is a dangerous thing!

Not quite. Azerbaijan’s dictator is supported by the United States. That’s the reason there hasn’t been a revolution there. When protests broke out a while ago, about the same time as Kyrgyzstan, they were quickly put down and no more was said about it.

If there is an Axis of Evil it’s the Axis of Double Standards.

Crimea? As if an idiotic primadonna like you can know anything substantial about the Crimean situation.

Watch a little http://rt.com for heaven’s sake. Or, even better, just stick to local political gossip where you definitely excel.

Isa, delete now, and find some silly stooge to gossip about.

As ciccio has been keen to point out, seems to be a new Axis of Evil forming right there.
