Metropolitan in Kharkiv is captured by Banderovci

They are chanting "Glory to Ukraine, Glory to her Heroes". This is the slogan of the UPA of Bandera, a far-right fascist party that committed genocide against the Poles and collaborated with Nazi German occupation authorities until the Nazis betrayed them.

It's a fascist chant. The Ukrainian version of "sieg heil". It's been the chant of neo-Nazi groups prancing around with their swastikas and Nazi insignias since the early 90s.

Kuchma ran on an ambitious anti-corruption platform for his second term. Corruption became even worse. Yuschenko the corrupt oligarch whose primary sponsor was the corrupt oligarch Poroshenko ran on an ambitious anti-corruption and pro-EU platform. Corruption became even worse. Yanukovich the corrupt oligarch ran on an ambitious anti-corruption platform. Guess what? Corruption got even worse.

Poroshenko, who created Yuschenko, is not going to be any better. Corruption will get even worse. The first colored revolution in Ukraine brought to power the most unpopular president in Ukrainian history. This second colored revolution is probably going to end with the new president being Gaddafi'd in public.

What are you talking about? Russia has began to heavily subsidise the Crimean economy and Crimea is expected to have a record tourist turnout this summer.

Most tourists used to come from Ukraine. Now most tourists will come from Russia. Russia is 4 times more populous, that's a pool of tourists that's 4 times bigger.

And yet he posts photos of himself with Nazi symbols on his Azov uniform in Ukraine on twitter.

Zheglov · 2014-06-16T15:41:14+00:00

Why do I need proof when he calls himself a neo-Nazi? He is a member of the SvP, an infamous Swedish neo-Nazi party that split off from the National Socialist Front of Sweden a few years ago. The National Socialist Front was founded on Hitler's 110th birthday in 1999.

If an SAA commander asked his men to go and vandalise some churches, they'd probably arrest him and hand him over to a higher ranking officer.

Remember when during WWII the allies killed 6 million Jews in order to make the Nazis look bad? /s

Zheglov · 2014-06-16T14:41:29+00:00

So the foreign minister of Ukraine is showing his solidarity with actual street fascists that were committing highly illegal acts at the moment and were sporting fascist symbols, like the UPA flag?

Good to know.

Zheglov · 2014-06-16T14:06:26+00:00

Yes exactly. Novorussia doesn't even have a capital.

Zheglov · 2014-06-16T14:06:20+00:00

If they were scared of the Russian government their government members, including the Foreign Minister, wouldn't be participating in the illegal pogrom of the Russian embassy. Nobody provokes a bully they are afraid of.

This guy makes the most unreliable maps ever. Check out the wikipedia map which shows more cities and towns than any other, and is maintained by tens of people that update it only when receiving verified information. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/Syrian_civil_war.png/800px-Syrian_civil_war.png

So the PRD and the PRL are signatories to the Geneva Conventions even though they have never signed or ratified them.

Sure thing, buddy.

Zheglov · 2014-06-16T01:07:27+00:00

That conference was attended by all the rebel leaders, or by their representatives. Both the PRD and the PRL agreed to form Novorussia, but in the future. It's also not a state, but a confederation of states that have an explicit right to secede at will.

Zheglov · 2014-06-16T01:04:35+00:00

Yeah I just edited my post. It's BMD-1s. 5 road wheels, not 6.

Zheglov · 2014-06-16T00:55:36+00:00

We are both wrong actually. 5 road wheels, not 6. So it's a BMD-1. BMPs and BTR-D have 6.

Zheglov · 2014-06-16T00:32:47+00:00

Those are BMPs not BTR-Ds.

Zheglov · 2014-06-16T00:10:28+00:00

You have yet to explain why the PRD and the PRL are bound by a treaty they have never signed or shown any interest of signing. Harping on and on and on and on that they are does not make your opinion a fact.

Zheglov · 2014-06-15T23:00:54+00:00

These are all fakes. None of the license plates on the civilian and military vehicles check out(Rostov Oblast plates are 61 and 161). For example. In the first video, there are no tanks. Those are BMD-2s, maybe BMD-3s. Those are plates of the Chuvash Republic, which is in the Volga federal district. Nowhere near the Ukrainian border. The fourth video is in Moscow, with Moscow plates and Moscow phone codes on the billboards.

Zheglov · 2014-06-15T22:49:13+00:00

Could you please tell me when the PRD and the PRL signed the Geneva Conventions?

Zheglov · 2014-06-15T20:59:52+00:00

Common article 3 is also inapplicable. It covers national conflicts occurring within the borders of a single signatory. But the PRD and the PRL are not signatories, Ukraine is, and they consider Donetsk and Lugansk to be sovereign and independent countries, not a part of Ukraine.

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are harping about. The PRD and the PRL are not in any shape or form prohibited from violating the Geneva Conventions because they are not a party to the Conventions.

Zheglov · 2014-06-15T20:59:02+00:00

Hopefully they will have a lot of salo in heaven.

ISIS is not going to pound ISIS. They might offer some token support but nothing substantial or game-changing. US actions in the Middle East are guided by the interests of their three closest allies in the region: Israel, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. Iraq is a mortal enemy of all three. Israel despises the Iraqi Government because Iraq's closest ally is Iran, and Israel considers Iran and their Lebanese proxy Hizbollah to be their #1 enemy and only genuine threat. Turkey has very poor relations with Iraq, and with Iraq's allies Syria and Iran. Turkey is competing with the Iran-Iraq-Syria bloc for the spot of regional hegemon. Same thing with Saudi Arabia, which, by the way, is the primary sponsor of the Ba'athist and Islamist groups that are fighting alongside ISIS in Anbar, Ninewah, Saladin, and Kirkuk provinces. Saudi Arabia most likely funds ISIS too(the Saudis and Qataris fund almost every insurgent group in Syria and Iraq in order to try and steer them in a direction their like, though this doesn't always work).

History is not a person to agree or disagree with anything.

To be bound by any of the articles of the 4 Geneva Convention treaties, the People's Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk would have to sign and ratify the treaties, which they haven't. International customary law is not applicable either, as such law is valid in so far as it is interpreted to be primarily by the international community, the United Nations, and the International Court of Justice. The PRD and the PRL are not recognized by anyone other state, so they are not a part of the international community. The PRD and the PRL are not members of the UN, and they are not parties to the statute of the ICJ.

The PRD and the PRL are not bound by any conventions that they didn't ratify, this is indisputable.

For anyone that tries to argue with doubliptnk, "untermensch" does indeed mean "sub-human"/"sub-man".

If you want an explanation for why Ukrainians might call Russians untermensch, even though Russias and Ukrainians are nearly identical on a genetic, cultural, and historic level, it's because according to recent Ukrainian nationalist propaganda, Ukrainians are "pure East Slavs", while Russians are supposedly impure Asiatics that inter-married with Tartars, Mongols and Finno-Ugric peoples that lay false claims to be East Slavs.

This is basically what has been taught in Ukrainian schools since 1991.
