Cuando las cosas no marchan como le gusta a Occidente, sus élites, funcionarios y medios recurren al viejo truco de ignorar todo, olvidarse, hacerse los idiotas a ver si la cosa cambia. Como frecuentemente la cosa no cambia, los chicos pasan a otro tema con la velocidad del rayo. Algo así parece estar pasando en Ucrania (perdón, en ese conglomerado que algunos todavía insisten en llamar "Ucrania"). La nota que sigue es de ese oscuro personaje denominado "El Peregrino", del sitio web The Vineyard of the Saker; la misma fue publicada originalmente en Unz Review. Acá va (los subrayados son nuestros):
Título: The
Ukraine between Fascism, Ochlocracy and Breakup
Texto: There is
less talk about the rump-Ukraine in the news these days, especially in the
western corporate media, and there is a good reason for that: that short-lived
Urkonazi “Banderastan” is falling apart. This is hardly surprising since the
entire concept was never viable in the first place. Let’s remember how it all
began.
It is crucial to
remember that there was no spontaneous revolution or insurrection in the
Ukraine, the Euromaidan had nothing to do with Europe and everything to do with
the USA. Oh sure, the Ukrainian people were told that it was about “joining the
EU”, but that was never even a remote possibility. The sole purpose of the
Euromaindan was to prevent the rebirth of a “new Soviet Union”. No matter how
ludicrous the notion of a USSR v2 might be, this is what was in the always
paranoid, self-deluded and ignorant minds of the US “deep state”. Two of the
main spokesmen for that US deep state were very clear about this:
First, we have
the crucial statement made by Hillary Clinton in early December of 2012:
“There is a move
to re-Sovietise the region,” (…) “It’s not going to be called that. It’s going
to be called a customs union, it will be called Eurasian Union and all of
that,” (…) “But let’s make no mistake about it. We know what the goal is and we
are trying to figure out effective ways to slow down or prevent it.”
Now, it is
absolutely irrelevant to argue about whether Hillary was right or wrong in her
interpretation. what matters is that she, and her political masters, really
believe is that Putin wants to re-create the Soviet Union.
Next, we need to
recall another crucial statement, made this time by Zbigniew Brzezinski who
wrote:
"Without Ukraine
Russia ceases to be empire, while with Ukraine – bought off first and subdued
afterwards, it automatically turns into empire…According to him, the new world
order under the hegemony of the United States is created against Russia and on
the fragments of Russia. Ukraine is the Western outpost to prevent the
recreation of the Soviet Union."
Again, it does
not matter at all whether evil Zbig is right or wrong. What matters is that
this was the real cause of the Euromaidan: the Americans wanted to create an
anti-Russia right across the Russian border. This anti-Russia would have been
an extremely dangerous and destabilizing neighbor for Russia. And if Russia did
intervene in the Ukraine, that would have revived a simmering Cold War to new
levels, justifying the “protection” of Europe by the USA for the next 50 or 60
years at least. Uncle Sam was in a win-win situation. It was a great plan,
except that it never worked, of course.
First, the
Russian twice stunned the Americans: first, by using military force where they
were never expected to do so (Crimea) and, second, by not using military force
were they were expected to do so (the Donbass). This was really bad news for
the AngloZionist Empire: Crimea, the undisputed “crown jewel” of the
“independent Ukraine” was reunited with Russia without a single fatality, while
the Donbass (for sure the richest and most advanced part of the “independent
Ukraine”) seceded without any overt Russian military intervention at all. That
was not what the US strategists had hoped for.
In total
disarray, they ordered the Ukronazi military and death-squads to re-take the
secessionist region, and the junta almost did. Only a desperate last ditch
resistance by the Novorussians followed by the opening of a vast Voentrog (lit.
“military trade”, name of a well known military surplus store, “voentorg” now
refers to the covert delivery of military equipment to Novorussia) and a
well-organized “northern wind” (the sending of volunteer military specialists)
saved the day. After that critical moment, the Ukronazis never had another
major success and their operational offensives in Saur Mogila and Debaltsevo
ended in total disaster.
Then the junta in
Kiev tried everything, from bombings, to random artillery attacks, to the use
of phosphorus gas, to terrorist attacks, to even the use of ballistic missiles
and, of course, the MH-17 false flag. But nothing worked. The Novorussians had
dug in and their tactical skills and morale was vastly superior to the junta’s
forces. Worse, the Novorussians succeeded, albeit with great efforts, to
eventually turn their volunteer militias into a single conventional military
force. Of course, compared to the Russian military, the Donetsk and Lugansk
forces are still a eons away in terms of capabilities, but compared to the
so-called “Ukrainian army” or the Nazi death-squads – they are vastly more
capable and sophisticated.
Second, the level
of mis-management, corruption and plain stupidity shown by the new ruling
“elite” (so to speak) was truly of an African quality. For one thing, these
nationalist imbeciles committed economic seppuku by severing almost all ties
with Russia. While these ties were important to Russia, they were absolutely
vital to the Ukraine. Furthernmore, Poroshenko and the coterie of pseudo-nationalist
oligarchs around him proceeded to embezzle everything worth embezzling and
simply stole all the money which the West provided has “help” to support the
New Ukraine.
Third, despite
the fact that a huge strategic PSYOP had been organized in the western
corporate media to present the Ukronazis as well-intentioned patriots wanting
to join Europe and live free, the Ukies were so stupid and overt in their
words, actions and symbols that it became more and more clear to the people in
the West that far from dealing with some “liberty loving democrats” the West
was in bed with bone fide Nazis. Not only that, but the West was now paying to
be in bed with them. Not that the European corporate leaders ever were so
squeamish as to not be willing to be in bed with psychopathic murderers, but in
the Ukrainian case this meant the lose of a much more important market: Russia.
So now, in May
2016, it becomes more and more obvious, if not undeniable, that the entire
“Ukrainian project” is a total mess, potentially far worse and far more
dangerous than the mess in Libya or Iraq. At least Libya has a tiny population
while and Iraq can probably be brought back into some semblance of normalcy by
the Iranians, assuming the West stops using Daesh to destabilize the entire
region. But the Ukraine has roughly 40 million people left (officially 45M, but
between Crimea, the Donbass and those who fled, it is probably well under 40M
by now), smack in the center of Europe (at least if, unlike me, you consider
“eastern Europe” as part of Europe). And it is falling apart. Fast.
The coup in the
Ukraine has been described as a coup of “millionaires against billionaires” and
there much truth to this. Oligarchs are clearly one of the key forces in the
New Ukraine. The other major forces are the neo-Nazis, mostly from the western
Ukraine. The third, and often forgotten, force are the various criminal mobs
(ethnic and regional) who, while often closely linked to the oligarchs and
Nazis, is still distinct from these two, mainly by different motives and a
different mindset. The key thing about all of them is this: they are now all
armed to the teeth. That’s right – the oligarchs have their own “security
services”, the Nazis have their death-squads while the mobsters all have their
gangs of armed thugs. As for the Ukie cops, they are staying out of the way,
while the much feared SBU (Ukie KGB), which has never caught a single western
spy in its entire history, is so busy kidnapping, torturing and generally
terrorizing any anti-Nazi Ukrainian left that they have no time, or
inclination, for law and order operations. Even anything, the SBU is basically
“for hire” by the oligarchs, Nazis and even mobsters.
As for the
Ukrainian armed forces, they are mostly composed of men from the eastern
Ukraine and they lack the kind of ideological drive which the death-squads,
which are composed of mostly west-Ukrainians, have. They do, however, have more
firepower than the death-squads, and that partially explains why neither the
regulars nor the death-squads have performed well in combat. What is certain is
that neither the regular armed forces nor the death-squads have the means, or
the will, to restore law and order, nevermind do something about the economic
disaster.
In other words –
there is no rule of law left at all and if the country has not entirely gone
down the “Somali road” yet, it is mainly by inertia. But as the consequences of
the economic collapse become evident, violence will explode.
Now that western
aid has more or less dried up, and the country has been robbed blind, the
central government has less and less relevance to the regions, each of which is
now run by local oligarchs/warlords. This is most likely the first step in the
inevitable process of breakup of what is left of the Ukraine with Lvov and
Ivano-Frankovsk joining forces to create a mini-Banderastan in the west of the
country. Odessa and the southern Ukraine will, sooner or later, want to break
free from the control of Kiev and either be independent or join Russia in one
way or another, while the central Ukraine will be left with nothing except
roaming gangs of thugs à la Mad Max.
As for the
Donbass (and Crimea, of course), they are gone forever – and Kiev knows that.
The best proof of that awareness in Kiev can be found in the undeniable fact
that the Junta has made absolutely zero efforts to try to lure back or somehow
attract the people in the breakaway regions of the Ukraine to return to Kiev’s
fold. Instead of paying their pensions (which they legally were obliged to),
the stole all the pension money of the people in the Donbass. As for Crimea,
Kiev imposed a water blockade, a transportation blockade, a food blockade and
an electricity blockade. And while Russia provided everything need for the
people of Crimea, that kind of petty and outright nasty harassment will hardly
endure the Nazi Junta in Kiev to the people of Crimea. The fact is that Kiev
has long given up on the notion of convincing the “vatniki” whom they have
always hated and considered as subhuman semi-Asian mongrels anyway.
The new chairman
of the Verkhovna Rada, the Ukrainian parliament, and the number 2 person in the
country, Andrei Parubii, a overt Nazi with, according to rumors, mental issues,
is now seriously discussing establishing a visa regime with Russia – thereby
depriving 4-5 million Ukrainians in Russia from working in Russia and sending
money back home. Sounds crazy? It is. But these are the same folks who closed
the Ukrainian airspace to Russian airlines which, predictably, resulted in
Russia closer her airspace to the Ukrainians. One look at a map will tell you
who lost more.
Of course, as the
economy comes to a standstill, the ideological struggles will gradually be
replaced by even more primitive forms of competition for good and services and,
in certain regions, even for food and shelter. When this process will begin the
rump-Ukraine will undergo a process of transformation from fascism to
ochlocracy at which point the rump-Ukraine will probably break up and a new
wave of refugees will flood the EU.
The most amazing
thing in all this is that the Ukrainian nationalists really did it all to
themselves. If between 1991 and 2014 the Ukraine was run in a corrupt and
incompetent manner, after 2014 the new leaders in Kiev embarked on a course
which can only be described as suicidal. Seeing the chaos in the Ukraine today,
it is hard to believe that in 1991 the Ukraine was a highly developed country,
with an immense potential and which seemed poised to immensely benefit from
being a natural bridge between the East and the West. The current apocalypse is
entirely man-made, driven by hate-filled ideological delusion, fantastic levels
of corruption and an apparently total lack of common sense.
The Ukrainians
were promised a future looking like Germany and, instead, they got Somalia.
There is going to be hell to pay for all those who were involved in this
gigantic deception.
