As many have seen in recent days the events surrounding the so-called protests in The Ukraine have continued to escalate though not in a linear fashion. The West (EU/US/NATO) was engaging in a campaign of agents provocateur to bring into power a regime favorable to a NATO and EU alliance.
That evidence is in plain view via the diplomatic efforts of the USA including and living up to the trope of 'Cookie Pushing'. Additionally the US ambassador (cookie pusher) also had a conversation leaked where she was discussing who among the opposition parties were most acceptable to the US/EU. Well we all know 'acceptable' is code word for who can be most easily pressured or bought off. Of course the media made a big ado about her other comment in that call, 'Fuck the EU'. Well that was just her being candid about whose national interest was most at play here. What upset the EU wasn't the comment but rather they probably thought the USA had at least some of their interest in mind and this revealed that it was clearly playing all sides against each other.
Russia on the other hand during most of this was hosting the Olympic Games. So while the world was watching Putin began various staging maneuvers and then as quickly as he could inserted special forces into the Crimea as the Ukraine's government began to collapse. Sevastopol is Russia's largest naval base in the area, the people are Russian speaking (so bet on them all getting Russian passports as a token/piece of propaganda) and though many favor an independent Crimea it is unlikely to happen. Russia appears resurgent.
The United States, having destabilized Syria was attempting a similar method of attack in the Ukraine. Much of this policy comes from white papers written by Susan Powers, Cass Sunstein and others like them. All of these policies are underwritten By George Soros and the Tides Foundation at large as part of the 'Open Society' Project. Of course in this society there is this philosophy of the 'Right to Protect' where Team America World Police is more of a reality than a comedy. These same leftists who criticized G.W. Bush for his foreign excursions are simply continuing the same imperialist policies; albeit in a more nuanced fashion.
The Crimea is an important location both geographically and historically. Geographically is it strategically located in the Black Sea and cordons off the Sea of Azov. Its many excellent ports are dominated by the Russian Navy and up until quite recently Sevastopol was a closed city belonging to the Russians though inside Ukrainian lands.
UPDATE
Crimean citizens voted in a referendum over the weekend to become independent of The Ukraine and to join Russia by a staggering 96.8%. This means a couple things. First it further legitimizes Putin's push westward to reclaim former Soviet republics and secondly that EU/US/NATO policy is failing. For good or ill the US has pushed a destabilization of the Ukraine in order to get them closer to the EU/NATO side. Additionally covert/false flag operations inside Kiev resulted in the overthrow of current/former (depending on your POV) Yanukovych. The people installed by the US/EU/NATO are now dealing with insurrection and the threat of invasion and annexation. The United States will not stop Russia militarily.
As a result of the Crimean referendum the US/EU have imposed travel sanctions against Russian officials. Russia will likely respond with the same. It is odd for a nation such as mine (the USA) to go out openly against a people deciding what nation they wish to be a part of. Self-determination is a part of our culture and a part of the UN charter and one would think that we would be for a nation or a group of people to decide what political affiliation they want. Instead we are installing puppet governments and opposing democratic movements world wide.
The question then becomes..not why because we know that there is some national interest driving this...but rather 'What is the national interest being so keenly hidden from the public that is driving this conflict?'. When you have George Soros coming out and saying that the future of the EU depends on the Ukraine it is something special. And more so...why is the EU in such dire need of expansion to include the Ukraine?
And here we get into some dark territory. The Ukraine's economy is the size of the estimated fraud within the EU economy as it is so much larger. The Ukraine has a precarious amount of debt that is cannot repay. The real power struggle seems outlined HERE without the author really knowing it. This is why George Soros is speaking out (or one of the reasons). The other reasons have to do with natural gas/oil exploration and transportation in the region. This has absolutely nothing to do with what is good for the people of the Ukraine on any side. They are meat-sack numbers as a friend once told me. That is how the government sees you and that is how they will treat you. The Ukraine would be used as another location in the ever present race to the bottom in terms of labor pricing. At the same time more immigration would happen in Europe as a search for more jobs would happen. The flood of Ukrainians into Poland and Germany and nations farther west would begin to drive the price of labor lower for everyone. The increased profits over time would flow upward and that is what Soros is after. It is just more piracy.
The Ukrainians are pawns in an international banking scheme and Russia is simply trying to get a larger part of that scheme. No one is a good guy here and it would be foolish to think so. Is one evil better than than the other? I for one don't like evil at all and the people of Crimea had a slim chance to choose neither. Instead they chose to be closer to their historical and ethnic ties. Only time will tell if that is preferable to real independence or partnership with the EU.
