Moscow has accused NATO of using the Ukrainian crisis as a "pretext" to "push its military presence closer to Russia's borders," and says that plans for a new rapid response force will sabotage the peace process in eastern Ukraine.

"The [expansion] plans have been harbored by NATO for a long time, and recent events have served as a pretext to put them into action," said a statement published on the Russian Foreign Ministry's website, following the wrapping up of the NATO summit in Wales.

"Together with the rhetoric at the summit, and the planned military exercises before the end of the year, this will increase tension, destabilization the nascent peace process, and further widen the division in Ukraine," the ministry's statement said.

"The above is also testament to NATO's unconditional support for the extremists and neo-fascists in Kiev, including the Right Sector political movement," it stressed.

NATO beating the drums of war (again), not Russia

For the West's masters of war, it's a good time to be in Wales. A military alliance that has struggled for years to explain why it still exists has a packed agenda for its Newport summit.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) may not be at the centre of Barack Obama and David Cameron's plans to ramp up intervention in the Middle East and wipe Isis "out of existence". But after 13 years of bloody occupation of Afghanistan and a calamitous intervention in Libya, the Western alliance at last has an enemy that seems to fit its bill.

Swinging through the former Soviet republic of Estonia this week, the US president declared that Nato was ready to defend Europe from "Russian aggression".

Nato's secretary general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen - who insisted as Danish prime minister in 2003 that "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction ... we know" - has released satellite images supposed to demonstrate that Russia has invaded Ukraine. Not to be outdone, the British prime minister has compared Vladimir Putin with Hitler.

Today in Cardiff, Wales, NATO agreed to provide $15 million to the Ukrainian government for "cyberdefense, logistics, rehabilitating soldiers injured by the rebels, and command, communications and control capabilities."

The government in Kiev has waged war against several regions in eastern Ukraine that have sought to break away from the west after a US-backed coup in February.

Though NATO reportedly was unable to muster unanimous support among member states for direct, lethal military aid to Kiev, several NATO member countries are reported to have concluded bi-lateral agreements to provide high-precision rifles and other weapons to their western allies in Ukraine's civil war.

Sounding increasingly hysterical today, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen Tweeted that

Economic World War waged against Russia and the BRICS alliance is based upon miscalculations of the Anglo-Zionist-American group think. Sanctions purported to be instruments in response to escalations of the Ukrainian crisis depicted as opening of new fronts and use of Russian regular forces. European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso underlined in a news conference in Brussels after his meeting with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko Saturday. That sanction's "are not an aim in themselves" but an "instrument" to show the Russian leadership the current situation "is not acceptable and we urge them to come to reason, to work constructively."


Comment: Reason according to U.S. and it's vassal states of Europe: provoking a fake revolution in Ukraine, overthrowing the government, installing a puppet regime, staging false-flag attacks and constantly lying and spreading propaganda.

Warning to the world: Washington and its NATO & EU vassals are insane


Elegant oratory in the face of Western propaganda demonizing Vladimir Putin and defacing of the Russian society's political intelligence concludes with the simplicity of "show me the evidence of Russia's wrongdoing!" Setting aside the West's failure to provide credible proof sufficient to indict the Russian people or attack the character of their President, Vladimir Putin. One is forced to consider that in spite of the insanity inherent their foreign policies these people are not retarded. There is cold calculation and many years of psychological operational studies to support the brainwashing of the masses in order to set the stage for the gobbling up of national resources and regime change.

Boomerang effect of Western destabilization of the world

The European powers, and their fledgling, the USA, spent centuries colonizing the world, invading territories, destroying societies, massacring peoples, stealing resources, then barring entry into Europe and the USA against the people they colonized; today they use terrorists to further their interest, continue to disrespect local customs and then complain when things go wrong.

This is not a time for naming and blaming because it is obvious who is to blame for the dangerous situation we find ourselves in, this is not a time for hate articles because there is enough of that in the world we wake up in every morning. It is time for reflection and action, rather than diatribes; it is time for togetherness, not division.

The Great Patriotic War (Second World War) was supposed to be the war to end all wars, after tens of millions of children, men and women lost their lives. The flash that sparked off this war, like the First World War, had as its foundations Nationalism, or the claim that one nation/people is superior to others.

It is too late for decentralization, as E. Ukraine's self-defense forces want full independence from Kiev after its bloody military campaign, international law expert Alexander Mercouris told RT. Kiev now needs a ceasefire because it's losing, he argued.

On Friday, Kiev officials and representatives of the two self-proclaimed republics in southeastern Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire as the contact group met behind closed doors in Belarus.

Commenting on the ceasefire, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said: "We are ready to provide the significant steps, including decentralization of power."

However, following the deaths and damage caused by Kiev's military offensive, Mercouris believes that decentralization is no longer an option for Eastern Ukrainians.

The CIA and Associated Press intelligence reporter Ken Dilanian regularly collaborated on stories promoting the spy agency's image, according to a report by The Intercept. Documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request show how during his time with the Los Angeles Times, Ken Dilanian worked with the agency to more positively portray CIA actions, at times explicitly promising positive news coverage, according to the report. RT's Lindsay France digs into the newly revealed documents to explore the depth of the relationship.

Putin speaks softly, carries big stick and waits patiently

President Putin's matter-of-fact statement over last weekend that, "If I wanted to I could take Kiev in two weeks", following his mid-week reminder of Russia's sometimes forgotten nuclear capacity, was most certainly startling to European Union leaders gathered in Bruxelles to shuffle around EU functions in such way that the bureaucrats-who have made non-elected careers in Bruxelles running as much as possible the lives of Europeans-can keep their jobs.

Putin's softly spoken words plastered across newspaper headlines shook them out of their reveries. They had hoped the Ukrainian problem would just go away. Now they don't know what to do. Several countries-members-Slovakia, Hungary and Cyprus oppose sending arms to the Chocolate King Poroshenko's forces getting whipped by the "separatists-terrorists" in the Southeast Donbas and losing huge quantities of military hardware and yesterday losing also the Luhansk airport. No one in fact is really sincere about the whole US idea of sanctions. Europe, afflicted by uncertainty about its own identity and the centrifugal forces at work to tear it apart (anti-Europeanists, the secession referendum in Scotland this month, similar movements in Cataluna and the Basque country) has the nerve to give Russia seven days to withdraw its troops from inside Ukraine (which Russia denies) to which Putin responds laconically that "it's impossible to foresee when the crisis will end." Putin has repeated a paraphrased version of US East European policymaker Nuland's words to the EU: "Fuck off!" Merkel is meanwhile really pissed with the Kremlin but can't do much about it, and probably would not even if she could: half of Russia's foreign trade is with her Germany.

'F*** you people' email allegedly penned by veteran Capitol Hill staffer

There's no author name, it's just attributed to a longtime Capitol Hill staffer.

There are no references to political parties or elected officials, either. No names at all, in fact.

And that just may be why this "I quit" email may resonate with a polarized country that has agreed for a long time on at least one thing: Congress by and large isn't doing a great job.

Dated May 9, 2014 with the subject line "Not So Fond Farewell," the screed was posted by Jezebel blog writer Archibald Perkins, who said it was sent by "a friend of mine, a long-time Hill staffer and policywonk" who gave permission to publish the email as long as revealing information was omitted.

The alleged ex-staffer kicked things off by noting the high probability that no one noticed that he or she had quit the day before. Then the expletives start flying. "I've been in this business for almost 20 years, and I've put up with a lot of s**t. I know that's not a surprise, but the s**t I've endured is its own level of crazy. I've f***ing had it."

Argentina passes law to reclaim default debt from vulture hedge fund in New York

Argentina's Senate has passed a law that will let the country continue paying off its default debt by transferring international bond payments from New York to local banks, which would let other investors buy Argentine debt.

The scheme, to get around a US judge's order to immediately pay back $1.6 billion to "vulture" hedge funds in Manhattan, is the initiative of President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. The bill passed by a vote 39 to 27.

The initiative proposes to begin challenging payments through third parties, and allowing them to trade their bonds for new debt issued under Argentine law. Argentina's state Banco de la Nacion could become the trustee for payments, replacing the Bank of New York Mellon. Another proposal is to make Paris a main destination for debt payments.

According to Argentina's Chief of cabinet ministers, Jorge Capitanich, there are already several investors interested.

"There is obviously willingness among many creditors, or bondholders, to participate in the sovereign debt payment law, in order to get the money that is owed to them," Capitanich told reporters on Friday.
