NATO: no fascists in Ukraine. Let’s help NATO find fascists in Ukraine

Here is an example of what ‘expertise’ & technology has been imported into uke & set up right under their noses at the SBU (hence that extra flag outside)

Last year, the DoD’s Minerva Initiative funded a project to determine ‘Who Does Not Become a Terrorist, and Why?’ which, however, conflates peaceful activists with “supporters of political violence” who are different from terrorists only in that they do not embark on “armed militancy” themselves. The project explicitly sets out to study non-violent activists:

How sad.

Wisdom prevails. The use of fascists are well designed.

The more conflation the better.

@Anonymous:this is PAINFUL to watch because of the narrator’s HORRIFIC English. I had the impression this was Borat speaking.

I think you mistakenly assumed that the video was targeted at the kind of drooling idiots who cannot process information unless it is presented in perfect English and who are horrified that somebody out there might not sound like a CNN or FOX reporter. It is not. These news bulletins are for those who are interested in the developments in Novorussia and who appreciate the fact that these Novorussians speak a better English than they themselves could speak Russian. At any rate, these videos, and this blog, are not aimed at those who have Borat in their cultural reference system.

So if you don’t like their English (or mine, for that matter) – learn Russian. If not, there is always the Disney Channel option for you.

Most sincerely,

The Saker

“Come on… this is PAINFUL to watch because of the narrator’s HORRIFIC English.”

Ah first the Russian Defence Ministry appoint a “bad translator”
for the first MH17 points, now this?

Beware of your own expectations/prejudgements/prejudices, at best they will likely bite you on the poppa.

“are all agree”.

“Do you know that there is in Moscow an entire Military Institute of Foreign Languages (Военный институт иностранных языков)?! In Donbass, they are rationing bread right now.”

I am not only aware of the Military Institute of Foreign Languages but aware of other foreign language institutes in Moscow and elsewhere.

That is the very point.

The military chose to put forward a “bad translator”, the possibility of which you were apparently oblivious of at the time.

As a consequence of this apparent oblivion you did not make the next logical step – why?

Testing of the why hypotheses would have likely been very illuminating.

The reaction to the Donbass broadcast by the initial commentator further illustrated this tendency towards myopia as well as a prevailing and unwarranted sense of entitlement.

Within parameters I understand conditions in Donbass and other locations.

I suggest your presumptions will serve you ill, as they have apparently done in the past.

Perhaps this can be published in conjunction with the unpublished critique on public relations and responses to a person apparently offering an opinion on Ukrainian viewpoints.

Emotion and emoting are unlikely to lead to transcendence, which as an ex-military analyst you should be aware.
