"We must be very careful when we speak of exercising 'leadership' in Asia. We are deceiving ourselves and others when we pretend to have answers to the problems, which agitate many of these Asiatic peoples. Furthermore, we have about 50 per cent of the world's wealth but only 6.3 per cent of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia... In the face of this situation... We should cease to talk about vague — and for the Far East — unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of the living standards, and democratisation. The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are hampered by idealistic slogans, the better".
The hacktivists have published three files online, which include a draft of "A short and medium term comprehensive strategy for the new Ukraine" by Soros (dated March 12, 2015); an undated paper on military assistance to Kiev; and the billionaire's letter to Poroshenko and Ukraine's Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk, dated December 23, 2014.
According to the leaked documents, Soros supports Barack Obama's stance on Ukraine, but believes that the US should do even more.
He is confident that the US should provide Ukraine with lethal military assistance, "with same level of sophistication in defense weapons to match the level of opposing force."
"In poker terms, the US will 'meet, but not raise," the 84-year-old businessman explained, supposedly signing one of the letters as "a self-appointed advocate of the new Ukraine."
The Western backers want Kiev to "restore the fighting capacity of Ukraine without violating the Minsk agreement," Soros wrote.
