Donbass

The fascist regime in Kiev continues to use terrorist techniques to assassinate military commanders fighting for their fledgling Donbass republics.
According to Sputnik, Col. Oleg Anashchenko of the Lugansk People’s Republic was the latest victim of an assassination after his car was blown up.

If Petro Poroshenko ever thought that destroying the freedom and independence of the Donabss republics would be easy, he ought to consider how Donbass and neighbouring areas have historically risen in independence, defying the same forces which seek to subdue them today.
Historically the core of the Donbass region, the city known contemporarily as Donetsk, was founded in 1869. The city represented the heart of modern Russian industry. If St. Petersburg was founded as Russia’s cultural showcase to the world, Donetsk was founded as the industrial equivalent.

The liberal think tank Stratfor has stated what we already knew: “Kiev could have incited the violence to draw attention to the conflict and rally international support for continued sanctions on

US Defence Secretary James ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis has jumped into the Iran fray.
Here is what he said:

Donald Trump’s foreign policy team continues along a path of confusion, indecision and borrowing the rhetoric of Obama’s failed flunkies.
Yesterday, the forum was the United Nations where Trump’s UN Ambassador Nikki Haley demonstrated just how little she knows about geopolitical realities.
When addressing the carnage in Donbass, she spoke of the “…aggressive actions of Russia”. I knew right then and there she’d lost the plot.

Donald Trump’s war with Iran is turning into a war of words, but I don’t believe it will escalate into military tensions. Trump remains upset with the deal Obama struck with Tehran and moreover with Obama’s attitude towards Iran, one which Trump broadly sees as weak and overly conciliatory. His continual Tweets about Iran, when viewed together, show a clear pattern of disappointment both with Obama’s Iran policy and with Iran’s attitude and regional ambitions, particularly in respect of Iraq.

I write this with a heavy heart, but I know I speak for millions in Russia and around the world. Russia has let Donbass down.
The civilians of Donbass are being slaughtered like sitting ducks by an amoral fascist regime. Yes, Russia has continually sent medicine, food and clean water to Donbass, but this is no longer enough, not that it ever really was.
There is no point in waiting for the fascist regime to bankrupt itself and fall, if the waiting process is costing lives in Donbass. The latest acts of aggression on Kiev have proved this to be the case.

Just a few days ago on RT’s Crosstalk programme Peter Lavelle, myself and the two other guests, Dmitry Babich and Ed Lozansky, discussed the Ukrainian regime’s likely reaction to the new Trump administration.
We all agreed that the likely response of the Ukrainian regime to the steps the Trump administration is taking to try to patch up US relations with Russia would be to escalate military tensions in the Donbass with a view in part to bolstering its political support in the West as this appeared to slide.

Where were Senator Schumer’s tears when Barack Obama was bombing Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan etc…
Now all of a sudden Chuck Schumer is emotional about banning “muslim migrants or refugees” from entering the United States?
What are these migrants or refugees running from? Maybe Obama’s bombing of their country for the last 8 years?
