NATO and Ukraine

I am one Canadian who does not want Ukraine to be included in NATO. I want Canada to say no emphatically to any request by Ukraine to be included in NATO. Period. Full stop. I do not want to see one Canadian lost in any war over a fascist Ukraine. NATO is big enough already.

Eastern Ukraine: Let THE People Decide:

Wow. For the first time in my life I find myself supporting the opposite side in a war. We should all pay attention to this Ukraine situation because many 10s of thousands of people may die. Firstly it must be noted that the elected President is Yanukovych  not Yatsenyuk. That is an indisputable fact. Yatsenyuk is a leader by riot of masked men. Why is Canada and NATO ignoring that fact? And siding with this unelected leader who is there because (BBC special) of right wing almost fascist  support and fascists rioters who were hiding behind masks? This was terrorism as much as the pro Russian demonstrators. All of which is on Russia's door step. And by right wing activists promoting the Kiev riots. One symbol which you can see from the BBC You tube report previously noted, the group behind the Kyiv riots  behind Yatsenyuk, is the Wolfenangel, a neo nazi symbol.

Can you imagine if this was happening next door to us in Canada. It won't because we are fortunate to live next door to the USA. I dont blame Russia for being concerned. They have not seen much in the way of good faith from the west. The west has breached the promise they made to not enlarge NATO following the re unification of Germany after the fall of the Soviet Union. The west kept playing Diplomacy. They did enlarge to every country except for Ukraine. I dont blame Russia for not trusting us. They have had the most direct knowledge and experience in dealing with Nazis. They lost 55 million people to the Nazis in the second world war.

The clock ticks on Ukraine but one thing is for sure, it has revealed a lot of media persona's who have huge question marks over their claims to being journalists of integrity. That is neutral seekers of facts and is the medium by which both power and society can be informed and challenged.

In large measure the current day attitude of Russia has been formed by the west. After the Soviet Union fell, NATO promised Russia that if Germany is reunified NATO will not expand to the countries of the former Soviet Bloc. They did not keep that promise. In fact they breached it by including Latvia, Estonia, Poland and others  and expanding to Russia's doorstep. And now NATO countries are supporting an illegitimate right wing almost fascist government by riot in Ukraine. Do you really thing Russia will ignore this? I dont expect them too and understandably.

The people there don't want it to happen and Ukraine  right wingers brought this about. The Kiev government needs to be leaned on and told to smarten up. Have a referendum

Before the revolution, Ukraine had been mired by years of corruption, mismanagement, lack of economic growth, currency devaluation, and an inability to secure funding from public markets. Because of this, Yanukovych sought to establish closer relations with the European Union (EU) and Russia in order to attract the capital necessary to maintain Ukraine's standard of living without affecting the local population significantly. One of these measures was an association agreement with the European Union which would provide Ukraine with funds contingent to several reforms in almost all aspects of Ukrainian society and break its economic ties with Russia. Yanukovych, at first, considered the contingencies to be fair but ultimately refused to sign the agreement considering it too austere and detrimental to Ukraine. He was right but the right wing disagreed and went on a riot. Instead, Yanukovych signed a treaty with Russia for 2 billion from Russia which sparked civil unrest in Kiev that ultimately led to violent clashes between protestors and law enforcement officers under unclear circumstances. This led to the illegitimate Russian haters  and right wing and pro EU Yansenyuk government being installed.

Why does Canada and NATO recognize this illegitimate government and are willing to send money and support to them but not to the previous government? Unless they really want to start a war. Then we are starting the war. I strongly disagree with my governments approach.They don't care about the people living there. The right wingers in Kiev don't care about the people especially the Russian Ukrainians living there only about right wing power. Why are the pro Russians considered terrorist in their own country by NATO when the Kiev people are unelected and equally terrorists. Canada right wing PM Harper is showing his bias toward right wing politicians.

The Supreme Soviet transferred Crimea to Ukraine in 1954 and in 1992 and 1997 the Russians transferred it to Ukraine. At no time have the Russian Ukrainians ever had a choice in these matters. At all times it was Kiev or Moscow or whoever making decisions about what country they lived in. It is time to give the Russian Ukrainians a choice about where they want to live; in Ukraine or on their own or in Russia. Let the people decide. Given the history in Ukraine I can see why they would choose to live outside of Ukraine. If the EU or NATO or Canada or the USA believe in democracy,let's  let the people decide. That is the only condition the demonstrators want. The US and Canada should lean on the Kyiv people to give the pro Russian speaking demonstrators what they are are asking for; a referendum. Non violent peaceful outcome. Instead they find excuses to blame Russia and avoid a referendum. I saw the celebrations of the Russian speaking people in Crimea and they were ever so genuine about being back in Russia
and away from Ukraine.

But no the right wing Kiev government know they will lose the vote democratically in Eastern Ukraine so they want to force their decision on the Pro Russian demostrators. NATO and the USA know that outcome too. Russia will come to their defense unless they get bullied by the USA to accept an injustice. Otherwise to avoid a war the USA would lean on the Kiev government which they aren't doing. If the USA wanted to prevent a war and lead the way to peace they could. They don't care about the people living there either, just power.

I want to see my country supporting the Russian speaking Ukrainians to have their voice heard in a democratic referendum. Let the people decide. Have a referendum.

Harper and Conservatives Have to GO

Time to quit the Conservatives. I made that decision today as I watched Harper voice support for Ukraine and spoke against Russia. I was previously going to quit the Conservatives as Harper spoke in favour of the war in Syria. He is more interested in catering to the Ukrainians living in Alberta even if it means war with Russia. He is practicing his evangelical Christian outlook on life in a crafty way but dangerous way..

I have been thinking about dumping the Conservatives for some time. Harper seems to want it to happen quickly even if it means the death of 30,000 Ukrainians, Harper is a post turtle. I quit the Liberals in the 80's and became anti Liberal and initially Reform then Conservative.  But over the last few years I have noted  that Harper had wandered away from the purview of the UN and lost their support. He has wandered away from the visions of Preston Manning as well. Harper supports starting  a war in Ukraine. He supported Obama wanting to sidestep the UN in favour of  his Syria attack. That is wrong. But what he is really doing is siding with the US Military Industrial Complex to sell his pipeline in the USA over Obamas opposition. Harper has to go.

Obama wanting to bomb Syria is the  most idiotic plan threatened by the USA ever. .The last thing you would want to see  happen is for Syria to fall into the hands of some lunatic fringe Muslim group like al-Qaida or ISIS. This needs to happen under the auspices of the UN. Harper lacks good judgement big time. Harper is a right wing salesman, period. Doesn't care about world wars. In fact he seems to want one especially with Russia. 


Obama should work with Russia to achieve a peace in Syria. The Crimea was part of Russia until 1954. It is the unelected right wing representative by riot of the Ukraine leading the way in the media for the NATO expansion to Russia's border. Christ. Does anyone have a brain? I can see him trying to use NATO failing the UNs support for war in Syria.

Harper's behavior has made me rethink my allegiance to the Harper team. We need someone committed to the UN running Canada. Someone who chases peace. Now that we are in the Age of Aquarius. I'm tired of him taking credit for what Chretien did in large measure. Or Mulroney for that matter.It was Mulroney who brought in the GST tax system to begin with. And the Banking system is a by product of the old Canadian Constitution, the British North America Act. So the economy is a by product of our Constitution giving control of banking to the feds, unlike the American system; nothing Harper did.

I saw the USA do that before(sidestep the UN) in the Kosovo war where they sidestepped the UN and used NATO to  war in Kosovo. Basically they sided with the KLA terrorists and gave the Serbian heartland, Kosovo, to the Muslims. Germany got its way in Kosovo  and the Serbs got screwed thanks to the USA and NATO. Like the USA, and NATO, are still playing Diplomacy even though the cold war is done and gone. Harper has abandoned the UN. That is wrong. The expansionary NATO is wrong. We need the Liberals back. Someone like Chretien who simply says no that is a stupid war  and we wont go.

Then we have the Iraq war based on lies or so called faulty intelligence. Somebody has to tell the Americans to stop going to war which is the UN’s job. The |US military Industrial complex wants to dom the world Now I see Obama using the same approach in Syria as used in Kosovo. He doesn’t have the support of the UN and can’t get it. This war should be done under the UN or not done. Someone needs to tell the Americans to stop. They are being war mongers. Still playing the cold war scenario despite the fact the cold war is over. Why are they provoking the Russians? Accusing them of violating borders which the US want to do in Syria.

They want to get into a war just like in Viet Nam that won’t be to win. Yankees are stupid when it comes to wars. Plus why would they want to get rid of Assad? Getting rid of Saddam wa a mistake.Do they want al-Qaida or ISIS running the show in Syria?

It is time to return to the Liberals under the reincarnated Trudeau. Obama's war in Syria is wrong. Harper's support for Obama and not the UN is wrong. The UN  was invented following World War II based on the collective wisdom of the world due to  the worst world war ever. Russia alone lost over 50 million people in WWII to the fascists not to mention the 30,000 troops killed by Europeans a hundred years ago defending Crimea against British and French troops. This is part of the Russian homeland the way Kosovo was to Serbia: someone else mistreated by NATO

This expansion of NATO is the problem. They need to be told to stop. Freeze the growth. I want peace. Putin is not the enemy.

The USA used NATO to sidestep the UN in the Kosovo conflict.The UN said no but the USA used NATO to sidestep the UN in that conflict. This was an enlargement of NATO, just like Ukraine will be. NATO and the USA has continued to play Diplomacy even after the cold war and the fall of theiron curtain with an  expansionary NATO. Germany got its way in Kosovo and the Albanian Muslims got Kosovo.NATO took Hungry, Poland, Romania. This enlargement was contrary to what the USA promised after the fall of the Berlin wall and the reunification of Germany.They don't want to stop. It will start a world war unless they come to their senses. Chretien and the Liberals were smart to avoid that kind of nonsense.

Then Iraq which was a war based on a lie or so called faulty intelligence. Then I see Obama using this nonsense about chemical weapons something they said nothing about when Saddam as an American puppet used it against the Kurds. Quote frankly I trust the Russians more then I trust the Americans based on what I see.

Now I see the same sort of news coverage in Ukraine, I saw in Kosovo. There is no doubt, the Crimeans by a clear majority want to be returned to the motherland, Russia. It will be more stable and secure then Ukraine can offer as most recently viewed by the mobs and riots in the street deposing an elected President.The western media can claim whatever and undermine that view all they want. It was real

Or Syria. Recently, in the Vancouver Sun Newspaper a report that a band of al-Qaida terrorists has taken one of the last few remaining Syrian villages, Maaloula, where the original language of Christ was and is still spoken, Syrian residents told this to the London Daily Telegraph."the terrorists entered the main square and smashed a stature of the virgin Mary." This village has survived for decades under Assad much like the Kurds have survived in Kobani under Assad. TheMaaloula village was shelled by theSyrian rebels from the hills. Two shells hit St Thecla convent. St Thecla was a follower of St Paul. Christians who make up 10% of the population in Syria have lived at peace with Muslims for decades have increasingly been attacked as foreign Jihadists supporte4d by the USA gain dominance in the opposition. So Obama is arming the people killing Christians in Syria. And killing the Syrians protecting them. And Harper supports this?!? My golly

Harper was gutless. He had the chance to tell Obama to stop and he didn’t. He wants and supports wars. Harper has to go. Its Harper that doresnt know what he is doing not Trudeau. Peaceniks in North America need to watch Harper.

Harper has to go. I am going back to the Liberals who seem more into grass root politics the way Preston Manning was looking at it. The Military Industrial Complex is back under  Harper and Obama.(would you believe) Harper is selling oil, oil pipelines and war.

Meanwhile the Kremlin has announced it was boosting it’s presence in the Mediterranean and have outlawed Genetically Modified Foods.
