A Ukrainian female journalist published a video capturing the movement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the direction of Zakarpattia. Against this background, a question arises: did they really hit their heads in Kiev so much that they decided to start a second ATO?
Svidomo journalist Anna Kulchitskaya claims that in the Starosamborsky district of the Lvov region, a column of Ukrainian equipment was driving towards the direction of Zakarpattia. Let’s watch a fragment of this clip.
Further, at the end, you can see an ambulance, a GAZ with a tent and yellow-blue [Ukrainian] flag, and another BTR, and then – the police behind the column. Here is how the Ukrainian website “Dialogueâ” comments on this video:
“Ukraine decided to send Hungary a clear hint and sent a convoy of armored vehicles to Zakarpattia amid a flaming scandal with officials in Budapest.”
I agree with Svidomo journalists – this is really a hint. Truthfully, not at all about what they wrote. This is an illusion to the complete insanity of the Ukrainian elites. And also – to the failure of the construction of the “national state”.
Judge for yourselves: Ukraine has lived for many years of “independence”, and people of many nationalities coexisted normally in Zakarpattia. Can you imagine the depth of the destructive talent of those who brought the situation from “everyone is quietly studying in schools in their own languages, but consider themselves to be Ukrainian citizens” to “we are now sending in armored personnel carriers and we’ll show the NATO member country that we can hint that it shouldn’t give out passports?”
This is just a failure. Indeed, violence is the last argument that is used when there is simply nothing to catch. And Ukraine has come to this argument – first in the Donbass, and now in Zakarpattia, keep looking at it, since it’ll get there eventually. This is the highest degree of mediocrity.
Yes, we also had an Ichkerian Chechnya. But it was a gangster enclave – people were trafficked there, raids were made on neighbors, they were killed, robbed – fully gangs. And what about Zakarpattia? They just wanted to learn Hungarian in addition to the main [Ukrainian] language and Russian. Notice that nobody refused to totally not learn how to speak Ukrainian – they studied partially, for those who needed it. But still, they were learning more languages that will be useful in life, because geography is a “condemnation”.
And so, Count Dracula, as the journalist [Anatoly] Shary aptly christened Poroshenko, decided to cancel the geographical condemnation of Zakarpattia. Rather, he did not decide, of course. The nationalists are putting pressure on him – the same ones, laughingly including the commemorator of Hitler, [Andriy] Parubiy, for example.
Well, they could send military vehicles there, and then what? In a situation like this, it is often necessary to take the next step. You know the people’s wisdom about this, yes? “Take out the knife – hit.” Or: “if the commander pulled a pistol from his holster, he should use it, because otherwise nobody will ever listen to his order.”
They had enough madness to carry a pistol in Zakarpattia, it seems.
And on the other side of the border sits Viktor Orban, he too, has nowhere to retreat. He has, if you remember, a demographic crisis amid the refusal to accept Asian and African migrants and the confrontation with Brussels. He has nowhere to retreat, since behind him is the collapse of a political career.
Of course, his actions don’t use such petty motives such as the arrest of one of the Hungarian activists by the SBU [Ukr. secret police] agents that took place several days ago.
But what if there will be many such arrests, and then ethnic Hungarians will start to defend themselves? Here it is difficult to predict events.
But I can say one thing. Or rather, to repeat, because I have already said this: a Hungarian gun hanging on the Ukrainian wall will still shoot. Simply, judging by events, the shot will occur much earlier than expected.
The Ukronazis are highly consenting victims of Western imperial rape, so the regions that eventually manage to break away from this artificial abomi-Nation of ”Ukraine” are to be duly congratulated. To Kiev, Zakarpattya is a looming menace just like the Donbass. The violence in Zakarpattya actually broke out just a little later: in 2015, the year after the Maidan Nazi putsch, and it was entirely instigated by the Right Sector fanatics.
In December 2017, the pro-fascist ”ReliefWeb” (which describes itself as ”a specialized digital service of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs”) published a naively stupid, easily decipherable account on the subject. Two brief excerpts:
Hence, the ’dirty little secret’ about the pseudo-country of ”Ukraine” neatly boils down to this: The utter incompetence and, frankly, madness of the Ukronazis only work in Galicia. The architects behind the Maidan maybe would have taken this fact into account had they considered other ”qualifications” in addition to the regime’s Russophobia.
What I learned from watching the Clintons.
You think that the job of government is to make wise decisions for the nation. They do not. With the Clintons, it was all about how much money they could collect. Thus, when Bill put Hillary in charge of health care, she didn’t try to design a system that would provide good healthcare and thus save and improve lives. Hillary’s goal was to collect the maximum amount for the Clintons in the form of payoffs and bribes. Since that was her goal, she failed at the more logical definition of government to actually improve the health care system.
Most likely, this doesn’t really have anything to do with the situation on the ground. Since elections are soon (I think) in Ukraine, most likely this has to do with that. Der Porky Fuhrer has made some deal that he thinks will improve his chances of winning an election. Or, perhaps he has the Hillary method of taking some money now to do someone else’s bidding in order to pad the foreign bank account he’ll live on after leaving the country when he’s out of office? Something like that. The fact that it might screw up a situation and people might die and have to huddle in basements holding their children tightly in fear doesn’t really enter into the minds of such people.
Politics is about power……. Money is secondary.
Power is ruling, unchallenged, dictating, elitist and many more adjectives….
Massive egos ….. not intelligence but very manipulative to attain … subjective goals.
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely ….
As is … it is also about self, self interest, me first …. others second … … or not at all
Three wars for Ukraine to fight.
Donbass ATO, the autocephaly-inspired war against ROC, and Zakapattia ATO.
Money well-spent by the US.
Minds well-massaged by the State Dept. and CIA.
The EU has chosen to bed with fatally infected rabid animals.
Their heroic leaders in Washington have hung this albatross on Europe. The only solution to their dilemma is to abandon Kiev totally.
Then, the neighbors will decide a future for the dying scourge.
It may take years more and thousands of innocent souls. It is product of Western “civilization”, nurtured back to strength instead of extinguished from existence post-war.
The same is happening with ISIS, and AQ. It is being salvaged and nurtured to be used by the Hegemon, for Asia, Africa and ME, aimed at Russia and China and Eurasian development.
The idea that there will be a period of Peace in this century is delusional.
There will be many local wars yet to come, and probably some of current wars will grow worse, also.
Yep.
A lot worse
I too don’t see Washington changing course any time soon, but it is likely they will lose much power and influence in the world, so the actual damage they can do will be greatly reduced.Though I doubt this will last for a century.
“Ukraine decided to send Hungary a clear hint and sent a convoy of armored vehicles to Zakarpattia amid a flaming scandal with officials in Budapest.”
What this threatening is about really has little to do with Hungarian-ukro relations, the ukronazis are simply being used in the manner they were created to be used. As a tool to bludgeon neighbors who the zpc/nwo have determined are being insufficiently subservient.
Orban’s Moscow visit a middle finger gesture to EU after last week’s humiliation
https://www.rt.com/op-ed/438748-orban-hungary-russia-eu/
“Russian President Vladimir Putin is reviled as an enemy of the West in general, and of the EU in particular, and yet Hungarian Prime Minister Orban continues to conduct “business as usual” with the master of the Kremlin.
The “salon des refusés” of political dissidents in the EU is getting bigger by the day. Less than a week after his government was condemned in a vote in the European parliament, Orban is in Moscow for talks about energy with Putin. His visit to Russia is the political equivalent of giving the EU the finger following last week’s humiliation.”
Massa doesn’t tolerate the slaves pulling on their chains. No notions of independent action or thinking allowed.
”What this threatening is about really has little to do with Hungarian-ukro relations, the ukronazis are simply being used in the manner they were created to be used. As a tool to bludgeon neighbors who the zpc/nwo have determined are being insufficiently subservient.”
Excellent assessment, vt. And the Ukronazis, at least the rank and file, are doing it on pure vocation. It shows convincingly the very essence of those ’European values’ when Orban is being attacked: Zionism, nazism, and — faggotry.
Saker – sorry for going off topic but have you seen this
Yes, and it comes from such a clickbaiting source that I don’t even want to post the link here. That is why I removed the rest of your comment: nothing against you, but I don’t want to give a voice to such vapid rumors on my blog.
Cheers,
The Saker
It is difficult for me, even blessed as I am with an American education, to understand even the basics of this conflict. Let’s see if the evil Google has helped me, at all.
There is an oblast (province) in western Ukraine that has about 12% Hungarian ethnicity population. There was a recent action by the Hungarian government to allow Hungarians there to apply for Hungarian passports. There is now a crackdown by the government in Kiev against those Hungarians.
As a side note, Hungarian PM Victor Orban oppose gender studies, wants Hungary to remain Hungarian (i.e. opposes rampant African immigration), and this past summer got into a verbal spar with Macron. All in all, he seems to be logical, with the welfare of Hungarians as his primary concern. Thus, it would not surprise me that the move to extend Hungarian passports to Hungarian ethnics living in the Transcarpathian province, which borders Hungary, is a prudent measure, considering that Kiev seems on its way to chaos.
Have I missed anything big?
Yes.
The offering of Hungarian State Passports to ethnic Hungarians in neighbouring states is not recent. The Slovakians were complaining (and oppressing) about this practice before they divorced Czechia. Before Orban. Twentieth Century History has been unkind to the Magyarok. Hungary has all the usual reasons and more to make kissy-face to expatriots.
What is recent is a renewed attempt, perhaps driven by a need to … er … unite Ukrainians against an internal foreign enemy. One which they hope will be easier defeat than the rascals in the southeast.
The oligarchs in Kiev are desperate to distract voters’ attentions long enough to get through the election. Doubly desperate to send the nazi berzerkers somewhere anywhere far far away.
The nazis are bored. Also, they share the older Nazis’ reluctance to let weaker victims flee.
