Ukraine's Politicians

[Boethius]

If you can understand Russian, watch these youtube videos.


The one linked is about a "Maidan activist", Ilya Kiva.  Kiva  is the head of the department fighting drugs, which is why the country is awash in the product.


Kiva is a schizophrenic who was heavily medicated before Maidan.  His physician is interviewed here.  When she expressed concern about his appointment, he sent thugs to murder her.  Her son was present, and saved her.


The youtube activist, a former elected politician, has videos on many of the criminal elements now holding power.

this sort of thing is pretty common in Ukraine and Russia
part of a bigger problem of non-existent enforcement of basic human rights
so if someone is powerful enough, they can step on all the people they want with impunity...

To bring home your point, krimster, yet another car explosion in Kyiv today, killing a journalist, Vitaly Kupska.  Kupska was a journalist who covered military affairs.  (The official version - a grenade exploded in his hands. - Ukraine's politicians and elites have zero shame).  Kupska's crime was reporting the truth about theft in the military, while Ukrainian soldiers are in the trenches in flip flops.

during the Crimean war, the Czar personally authorized the funds for the purchase of shovels/picks so that the entire civilian population of Sevastopol could be employed to dig defensive trenches around the city.

however, a local oligarch, who was entrusted with purchasing the tools instead stole the money and disappeared!!!

the people ended up digging trenches with sticks and boards

if someone stole Ukrainian soldier’s boots...
then Ukrainian soldiers will fight in their bare feet

one day it will be clear to all
that Ukraine’s dead will not have died in vain

Eternal Glory to the growing number of those martyred, crucified on the cross of truth
just dying to give humanity a chance to redeem itself
regretting there is already too little life left to give,
and too little life left to redeem...

Which Crimean War?  Under Alexander II?

[krimster2]

yes, only one with a czar!!!!
I loved watching that old Stalinist period movie about the Crimean war
while watching the movie, I could look out the window of my apartment
and see the spot where the movie was taking place!!!
could even see my home from the Panorama
stupid ridiculous war, the czar had agreed to pull out of Moldova
Britain and France could've pulled their forces back and declared victory without a shot being fired...
