Comment: There you have it. Even if there's no Russian involvement, hell, even if it's obvious that Kiev is behind any 'escalation' in the Ukraine crisis, Russia will be held responsible. Unbelievable...
Speaking in Newport, Wales at the close of a major NATO alliance summit, Pres. Obama expressed skepticism over a pact signed only hours earlier in Minsk during a meeting of representatives from Kiev, Lugansk and Donetsk, and said the US intends to go ahead with new sanctions revealed by the White House on Thursday this week.
"Obviously we are hopeful," Obama said of the ceasefire, "but based on past experience, also skeptical that, in fact, the separatists will follow through and the Russians will stop violating Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity."
Comment: What an idiot! Kiev has been responsible for all prior escalations. The Novorossiyans are simply refusing to bend the knee to your war-whore puppet regime.
"Pro-Russian separatists must keep their commitments," Obama told the crowd.
Comment: Pro-American fascists must keep their commitments.
The terms of the agreement have to be "tested," the president added, and that he expects to "move forward based on what is currently happening on the grounds with sanctions, while acknowledging that, if in the fact the elements of the plan that's been signed are implemented, then those sanctions could be lifted."
Taking that approach, Obama said, "is a more likely way to ensure that there is a follow through" on the part of Russia.
Comment: No, Russia has been the only one looking for a sane, humanitarian solution to the Ukraine crisis. The West is just pissed off because Putin refuses to put up with all their bullshit and global imperialism and oligarchy.
One day earlier, a White House spokesperson said that the US is readying a new wave of sanctions to impose against Russia as a result of Moscow's perceived role in the ongoing crisis in eastern Ukraine, and the EU was expected to do the same, targeting both the federation's energy and defense sectors.
From the NATO summit, Obama said the ceasefire agreed upon only hours earlier was a result of "both the sanctions that have already been applied and the threat of further sanctions, which are having a real impact on the Russian economy and have isolated Russia in a way we have not seen in a very long time."
Comment: Keep dreaming, Obama.
Speaking on behalf of the EU, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Friday that the latest sanctions being threatened against Moscow by European powers could be rescinded if the ceasefire deal is a success.
"Everything is in flux," Merkel said. "Therefore we should expect that these sanctions could indeed be put into force, but with the provision that they can be suspended again if this process really takes place," she said, Reuters reported.
According to Pres. Obama, this week's talks among NATO partners yielded the decision that all 28-member states will now provide security assistance to Ukraine by means of supplying non-lethal supports, including body armor, fuel and medical care, as well as assistance intended to modernizing Ukrainian forces through improved logistics and command and control capabilities.
Petro Poroshenko, the recently elected president of Ukraine, said "The highest value is human life, and we must do everything possible to stop the bloodshed and put an end to suffering."
The United Nations estimated last month that roughly 2,600 people have died in eastern Ukraine since fighting intensified in April.
Beyond an embarrassment and fool, the White House retard is openly acting in the exact capacity that he was chosen to serve the interests of his zionist and corporatist masters, spewing their lies and script in concert with the zionist-controlled media. One can nearly hear the, "Yassum, Massa!" of his acceptance of his orders to go before the cameras and literally debase the office of the US presidency (as if that was even possible, post Bush II) and embarrass himself beyond description.
He should go down as the worst president in US history, but I fear that as long as he does his zionist master's bidding, he will be immune from criticism from the zionist media megaphone. So it was with Bush II, until he double-crossed the zionists and The Cancer (i.e., Israel) in the very last minutes of his presidency, when he used the NIE of 2008 as the excuse to tell these zio-scum to 'stuff' their plans for the USA to annihilate Iran, as he had long promised them. Thereafter, the tone of the US media became rather unforgiving for a president previously teflon-coated despite a seemingly unending series of public gaffes that would have embarrassed any reasonably intelligent three year old.
Almost immediately thereafter, the price of oil crashed and the zionists punished him and us with an economic collapse manufactured by the international cartel of zionist bankers, who all along held the melt-down as their trump card with which to show the world leaders who is REALLY in charge on this planet! This was a 'economic controlled demolition' of literally Biblical proportions. They, and many others, all knew well that the economic house of cards they had built was going to fall eventually, they just pulled the rug out at their whim and to serve their interests, as usual.
Just as we are currently seeing in Gaza, wherein the destruction wrought on the Gazans will bring FAT contracts from the international community for The Cancer's (i.e., Israel's) construction contractors to 'rebuild' what the zio-scum destroyed (except, of course, the lives of those innocents lost by this callous display of utter inhumanity and psychopathy), these zio-turds, having precipitated the 2008 melt-down, knew exactly its true dimensions, and made countless billions from the collapse and the subsequent re-build of the world's economies, which they, and they alone, were in the position to predict and control to their collective advantage. Typical zionist MO.
Oh, yes, others tagged along for the ride and the riches, but make no mistake about it: the collapse of 2008 was delicious (and profitable!) payback for Bush not following through on his promises to 'eliminate' Iran as a threat to Israeli regional dominance, which said promise was bandied openly by The Cancer's then Prime Minister, Ehud Ohlmert, in little-noted speeches around the world in 2007. ("When my buddy Bush kicks those Iranian's asses, they'll be sorry they were ever born!" was the gist of these various speeches.) Why do you think oil surged to $150+/barrel and then suddenly crashed like a rock? Manipulation based on the hope of the promised attack (closing the Straits, as it surely would have), and then collapse upon learning the long-promised attack had been canceled.
However, nobody makes a fool of the zionists and escapes their wrath for long, clearly.
So, expect the White House slave to endlessly embarrass himself and the USA for the remainder of his term in office, all at the behest of the zionists (not so much the corporatists, who recognize a war with Russia is NOT in their collective interests. Same for the MIC, as they only like to go after toothless adversaries they can bomb into oblivion for maximum profits with little to no real blow-back from those they destroy.)
Embarrassment, however, is the least of our problems with what is unfolding.............
