Britain’s accusation that the Kremlin (click here) is seeking to install a pro-Russian regime in Ukraine is “deeply concerning,” a National Security Council spokesperson said.
“The Ukrainian people have the sovereign right to determine their own future, and we stand with our democratically-elected partners in Ukraine,” the spokesperson, Emily Horne, said in a statement late Saturday.
“This kind of plotting is deeply concerning,” she added.....
NATO may as well begin the build up along the eastern borders of the alliance. It will be necessary. It's administrative offices should prepare the sanctions to be instituted at a moment's notice.
Putin has this "thing" about "Russian people." In his mind they all belong to the motherland. He called up the diaspora about five or ten years ago. It is on this blog. It is his politics. There is no disputing the fact that everything he has decided is the policy of Russia. He is now in the leadership of the communists longer than Lenin. He has decided within the practice of his politics that all Russian people, even those with dual citizenship, belong to Russia, hence, Ukraine.
This happens at a time when Ukraine has diligently cleansed itself of corruption. It is the condition on which Europe and the USA has placed in order to develop trade and continue to move toward a stable democracy with the ability to protect it's sovereignty and ultimately become part of the NATO alliance.
The current president of Ukraine, President Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy, is held in esteem of the enforcement of anti-corruption and that means Russian influence. The Russians for the most part have been removed from power and young Ukrainian talent has been put in their place with the hopes of the current generations demanding freedom and a sovereign country that reflects tomorrow and the promise within it.
The USA and NATO cannot and should not back away from this aggression by Putin and his wayward politics. He is a danger to the Russian people as even as he called the diaspora home, he and the Duma made them register if they had dual citizenship and then a year later declared a dual citizen must pay a tax to maintain their duality. Needless to say, these people were dependent on Russia for their day to day lives and they more than likely denounced the second country of citizenship as the tax was out of their reach.
In that, understand, it is a form of racism. If Russian is the only real race tolerated within it's sovereign borders, there is every reason to be concerned for anyone that does not meet the description. That would include businessmen from other countries, especially The West. Spies, all those OTHERS are nothing short of spies.
The USA, NATO and the West in general need to be prepared for a full array of nuclear capacity in a first strike opportunity. They need to be prepared for aggression beyond the battlefield. The battlefield of conventional weapons belonging to Ukraine does not have the capacity of Russia and while The West is counting bodies and holding Russia responsible there is the possibility of of First Strikes coming through the air from other countries allied with Putin.
The Russia military recently slaughtered a lesser country into submission. It was all practice for what is to come with Ukraine. There won't be anything nice or CIVILIZED about the Russia advance against Ukraine. There will be brutal force as that brought into Kazakhstan (click here). The Russian military is crude. They are not good soldiers, but, they are killers.
So, with that, I hate every minute that goes by knowing that Putin is not a good and decent man, but, an egotistically driven man scared of his own fate should the majority of Russian people finally put together a democracy.
Just to be clear, the red, white and blue flag of the current Russia is taken from the former empire after the Soviet Union fell.
