Ukrainians Capture US Mercenary in Kharkov

Mercenaries bear no allegiance to anyone. Their only loyalty is that of money. As such they know the risks & accept them when they enter into their career as professional murderers & deserve no sympathy or support from their country of origin whatsoever.

This video is certainly a hoax.

1). He only says two words yet his Slavic accent is very clear.

2). I do not believe that someone would beat you, leaving your helmet on your head.

3). The "blood" from his mouth is fake. Blood doesn't come thick and immediately coagulate only a few centimetres from the wound, especially if you are being rolled around on the floor and beaten.

This is not necessarily true. Many who enlist in Armies of other nations often do so out of adventure or national conviction, ie they think they are doing the right thing.

You are here because you were informed that the President of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, also known at ‘Chocolate King’, has been getting his cocoa from the fields of this country. You are also convinced by several of your sources, based all over the world, that his confectionary empire, Roshen, is receiving its basic product from some of the most terrible plantations in Côte d’Ivoire that are still using child labor.

US ready meals meant for Ukraine's military go on Internet sale

American packed meals that were sent as military-technical assistance to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine are being sold on the Internet, instead of being given away to the military. Ukrainian authorities initiated an investigation in connection with the incidents, as was stated by the head of the Center for Military-Political Studies Dmitry Tymchuk on his page on Facebook.

Oh gosh! Now the Yanks have no choice but to attack Moscow!!! I knew they'd find some cacamany excuse equal to their no choice :yh_liar invasion of Irak due to the UN inspection team being on the verge of proving there were no WMD's there.

Find a hole to crawl into, Vladmir, and batten down the hatch! The Yanks is coming and they ain't distributing chocolate this time!!!

I guess it's time for an update on the Ukrainian Civil War, since there is breaking news of a Malaysian passenger plane being shot down in Eastern Ukraine near Russian territory. Live updates from RT here: http://rt.com/news/173628-malaysian-pla ... h-ukraine/

Who shot the plane down? The Ukraine military trying to suppress the Eastern Rebellion, or the Ukrainian rebels? The rebels in Donetsk claim they only have Manpads, which are only capable of intercepting low-flying aircraft. An interesting tidbit is being advanced by one RT analyst claiming that Putin's plane had just returned home in an area near the border 40 minutes prior to the shoot down. Makes a possible motive that the Ukraine military may have gambled on a chance to assassinate Putin! The pictures posted on RT America show the planes (which were both flying over Polish territory) looked surprisingly similar...with Putin's personal plane being a little shorter and fatter than the Malaysian airline. Both planes had similar color schemes if the pictures are accurate.

FWIW, the only thing that surprises me about the Eastern War, is why the Russians haven't reacted yet in the manner they did when U.S.-sponsored Georgia was invading two of its Russian provinces five years ago! Putin bombed what was called the Georgian Airforce back to the stone age, and that was the end of their attempts to overrun Ossetia or force the Russians out. Same thing goes here. So far, the surprisingly vicious and large scale Ukrainian war against civilian populations (which is mostly unreported in the West), which has included a few Ukrainian shells landing on Russian territory and causing a few casualties + a growing refugee crisis, have not moved the Russians to do more than send covert military supplies and some aid.

Putin's wide popularity with average Russians hinges a lot on drumming up Russian nationalism after a long period when Russians felt exploited, deceived and humiliated by their peace treaty with America and the West. Putin is a flag-waving theocon...following a similar strategy as U.S. conservative politicians. Going to war is always popular...if the war can be ended quickly with few casualties...just ask Dubya or the H.W. Bush! His popularity surged after hammering back the Georgian toady that tries to represent U.S. foreign policy in the Caucasus Region, so why not hammer the Chocolate King, and his disreputable government! Putin's reluctance to hit back and deal with whatever consequences the Obama Administration is threatening to do right now, are making him look weak in the eyes of many average Russians.

I know this sets the stage for a dangerous confrontation between two nuclear powers capable of destroying us all...but this is the gamble the Americans already undertook when they set the stage for the overthrow of the former government and installed their western-friendly regime in Kiev! The U.S. has been daring the Russians to respond...and they have a little by taking back their former territory of Crimea. But, the Obama Administration, and future U.S. regimes are not going to stop pushing until they start breaking up Russian territories into smaller and smaller pieces, and eliminate Russia as an economic power, and part of an effort to end U.S. Dollar supremacy in international trading. Seems more and more like an all-out full scale war will be on the table, and either the U.S. or Russia will blink, or the world will be over before we are aware of what has happened!

It must have been the U.S. that shot down this plane too, on a Black Flag operaion, in order to accuse Moscow of doing it. Standard CIA procedure.

I love conspiracy Theories.

I was taught along time ago, that phrase is code for "This is a scam, Pure and simple"

This is the latest update from RT: President Putin's plane might have been the target for Ukrainian missile - sources It's always those unnamed sources again! Same with CNN and Fox and MSNBC.

This would be worth keeping track of because it would provide a motive for an obvious high risk operation...if the plane was flying at its cruising altitude at the time of the shootdown.

The pictures of the planes look like I wouldn't be able to distinguish one from the other while they were in the air:

It's a pity for that daft theory that the seperatists had been boasting about shooting down a plane just before they realised it had been an airliner and hastily removed any mention of it fron social media. They have shot down three ukrainian planes prior to this - just not at that height. It probably didn't occur to them it might be a foreign passenger jet.

Usually when america overthrows a government it is to replace a democracy with a dictatorship friendly to their economic interests that's not what happened in ukraine it was ground up movement as it was in pland and elsewhre. What's tearing it apart are old regiaonal and ethnic conflicts that never got fought out thanks to russian dominance.

Maybe if bush hadn't decided to place missiles close to russia in what was a clear threat to rusia despite the rhetioric about them being to defend agianst the rather unlikely event of iran firing missiles at europe tensions might have continued to ease as it is putin got in as a man that would not accept being pushed around by the west.

He seems hell bent on restoring the old russian state.

The west now has a problem - appease him and hope things sort themselves out or perhaps get ready to go to war. Except anyone who thinks this wouldn't go nuclear very quickly in the event of war with nato contries is kidding themselves. On the other hand maybe MAD still works. As a side note the primary reason france and britian wanted their own nuclear weapons was because they didn't think the US could be trusted as an ally to get involved unless their own immediate interests were at stake. Realpolitik makes for strange bedfellows does it not.

You're right - some pretty scant evidence was provided "proving" that the eastern rebels were bragging about shooting down a jetliner, and what bothers me most is that the story was repeated over and over again in MSM and "public" media sources like NPR and our CBC. How many times has Obama and lead henchman - John Kerry lied about factual statements on a whole range of subjects? It goes off track, but when Obama got right up in front of the cameras and loudly proclaimed:"don't worry, nobody is recording your phone calls," why wasn't the President confronted with this flat out lie after Ed Snowden revealed himself and most of what that giant humongous computer complex in Bluffdale Utah is really all about? Or John Kerry's "we KNOW the Syrian Government launched the sarin gas attack on a rebel-held suburb of Damascus. When N.Y. Times veteran Sy Hersch revealed that Kerry had nothing, and the most likely source were gas canisters from Turkey and used by the Al Nusra Front against one of their rivals....well, the whole damn story about the Syrian Gas Attack just vanished in MSM as they ran off chasing the next story. What's most enlightening about the condition of the Fourth Estate in America, is that Hersch...the most senior correspondent for the Times, had to go to the London Review of Books, to publish his expose. Why wasn't a major story by one of their own reporters published in the Times itself? It's not the first time they spiked one of Hersch's stories, and it's a testament to how gutless the management at the Times is, that they are afraid to fire the reporter who broke the My Lai Massacre about 45 years ago, and they pay him a salary..... but they won't publish anything of consequence that goes against the Administration, Israel, the Military and Security apparatus etc.! Their preference is to just ignore him and wait till he retires. So, to sum up these points, my great frustration with modern MSM is that I can't take anything they report at face value. It might be true...or it might not be. I have no more confidence in these sources than I do in RT, Al Jazeera, the Guardian, or a few other foreign sources I cross-reference news stories with.

Yes, on this side of the Globe, the flood of refugee children U.S. border points and the shocking, despicable reaction to them by so called "patriots" finally has the liberal alternative media mouthpieces like Alternet and DemocracyNow pointing back to the military coup that overthrew the elected government of Manuel Zalaya in Honduras, and replaced by a military - then U.S. corporate puppet regime...and given the stamp of approval by the Obama Whitehouse early in their first term in office. The war on dissidents and the civilian population of Honduras by a handful of wealthy landowners and U.S. corporations, who hire narco gangs to run a reign of terror in that nation is one major cause of the refugee children crisis in the first place. Yet, none of the mainstream media ever mention that coup, or the government that replaced the elected government. All they do is go on and on about The Drug War!

In the Ukraine, the U.S. did not have the kinds of pieces in place to order the overthrow of a government. Virtually every Latin American country has a military trained and supplied by the School of The Americas academy in Florida (I forget what it's new name is...but that's not relevant). A civilian government may oppose U.S. policies and foreign corporate interests BUT their militaries never do! As soon as the military gets wind that the government is looking to make a move and replace some generals or reduce their budgets, that's it, the government is gone no matter how popular they might be. In the Ukraine, the local State Dept. rep - Victoria Nuland was overheard on a bugged phone call to be pushing for "Yats" to be made the interim president after that latest coup. But a lot of the events on the ground their are not under U.S. control in a way that exists in most of Latin America.

Maybe if bush hadn't decided to place missiles close to russia in what was a clear threat to rusia despite the rhetioric about them being to defend agianst the rather unlikely event of iran firing missiles at europe tensions might have continued to ease as it is putin got in as a man that would not accept being pushed around by the west.

He seems hell bent on restoring the old russian state.
It really started with Clinton though! He's the one who broke an informal agreement with Yeltsin not to surround Russia with Nato allies after he dissolved the Warsaw Pact. U.S. foreign policy differs very little between Democrat and Republican administrations...which is why a lot of onlookers speculate on a "Deep State" existing within U.S. government along the lines of the deep state in Egypt and other military regimes.

The point being that the U.S. and NATO have a perpetual wish to discredit Russia. That's just plain fact. Making the ASSUMPTION that the UK isn't playing its cards close to the chest is unadvisable. So until more is known it would not be prudent to claim "out of hand" that the UK has no interest in portraying Russia in a dark light.
