    Russian mercenaries are getting free water—meaning there are not paying the Ukrainian government for water being delivered.

    Russia still have implemented a single point under Minsk 2 yet complains constantly about the lack of implementation by the Ukraine which has implemented already a significant number of the Minsk 2 points.

    NOTICE Russia FM does not state just what international la is being broken--BUT Russian troops invading a neighboring nation is not a violation nor is the military annexation of Crimea NOT a violation of international law?????

    Apartment block explosion in Donetsk (Zlitna St, 11a) earlier is clearly an attempt by (pro)Russian forces to destroy Minsk agreement.

    Russians claim it was done by Ukraine tank shooting. Sounds like typical Russian provocation to restart conflict.

    For those that do not believe Americans can fall for and or support the Putin "narrative" and support the Russian info warfare--think again.

    Well worth the reading of this article-----


    http://www.thedailybeast.com/article...-fan-club.html

    Putin’s New American Fan Club?

    Their board includes a famed ex-senator. Their goals couldn’t sound more benign. But a new outfit to promote “debate” between the U.S. and Russia has a decidedly pro-Putin lineup.

    It is, most would agree, a worthy goal: to promote “open, civilized, informed debate” on Russian-American relations and bring about “a conclusive end to cold war and its attendant dangers.” But there are reasons to believe that the American Committee for East-West Accord, which is having its formal launch with a Capitol Hill event scheduled for November 4, may be involved in a less admirable mission.

    “The more organizations there are having country-to-country conversations, exchanges and partnerships, the better, [especially in] an increasing atmosphere of anti-Americanism there and anti-Russianism here,” New School international studies professor and writer Nina Khrushcheva, a granddaughter of the late Soviet leader, told The Daily Beast in an email. Like several other analysts, however, Khrushcheva voiced concern that the group’s potential positive role was compromised by some of its members’ knee-jerk tendency to blame all tensions on the West while excusing the Kremlin’s and Vladimir Putin’s actions.

    The committee’s seven-person board of directors includes former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley (D-NJ), former U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union Jack Matlock, and former Procter & Gamble CEO John Pepper. But its co-founders are two men who were part of the group’s forerunner, the American Committee on East-West Accord, a pro-détente organization that existed from 1974 to 1992. Stephen F. Cohen, the Russian history scholar, earned a certain notoriety last year with his dogged defense of Putin at the height of the Russia-Ukraine conflict; Gilbert Doctorow, a like-minded Brussels-based U.S. expatriate and self-styled “professional Russia-watcher,” has had a long career in multinational business as well as scholarship and punditry.

    In an interview with The Daily Beast, Cohen credited both himself and Doctorow with the idea of an advocacy group to counteract the new Cold War. “The model I had in mind was the American Committee, and it began to fester in my mind to re-create the equivalent,” says Cohen; the change from “on” to “for,” he says, was intended to make it “more proactive.” Both men began to publicly promote the initiative in early 2014. Doctorow, as ACEWA’s European coordinator, organized its first events in Brussels, including a panel last March that featured Cohen as well as Nation editor-in-chief Katrina vanden Heuvel, Cohen’s wife and frequent co-author on Russia-related issues.

    Actively promoted in The Nation, ACEWA is clearly something of a Cohen-vanden Heuvel project. While vanden Heuvel is not a board member, Cohen told The Daily Beast that she “does help,” sometimes by mentioning the group’s activities to her contacts in Congress. Her father, William J. vanden Heuvel, a retired career diplomat and former United Nations ambassador, serves on the committee’s board and was even listed as its president in its incorporating papers. ACEWA also appears to have close ties to his philanthropy, the Melinda and William J. vanden Heuvel Foundation: The address listed on the committee’s tax filing last March is the foundation’s Manhattan address (and that of the investment firm Allen & Co., in which he is a senior adviser). None of the ACEWA representatives contacted by The Daily Beast would comment directly on whether the organization—whose U.S. budget is listed at $30,000 for this year—is financed by the vanden Heuvel Foundation; but both Cohen and Doctorow confirm that for now, its funding comes from board members.

    Cohen’s views have been widely described as pro-Putin and “Moscow-friendly,” labels he has hotly disputed. Similar charges have been leveled at other people and organizations linked to ACEWA; the March 2015 World Russia Forum in Washington, D.C., where Doctorow made a pitch for the Committee, was skewered by The Daily Beast’s Jamie Kirchick as “a gathering of Kremlin apologists, conspiracy theorists, and other assorted nut jobs.”

    To ACEWA’s founders, such language validates the need for the committee, showing that dissent from a bellicose, Russia-bashing party line is marginalized in American discourse. “McCarthyite” attacks on Russia-policy dissenters have been decried by Cohen, Doctorow (who hailed Cohen as the “Great vanden Heuvel Foundation: The address listed on the committee’s tax filing last March is the foundation’s Manhattan address (and that of the investment firm Allen & Co., in which he is a senior adviser). None of the ACEWA representatives contacted by The Daily Beast would comment directly on whether the organization—whose U.S. budget is listed at $30,000 for this year—is financed by the vanden Heuvel Foundation; but both Cohen and Doctorow confirm that for now, its funding comes from board members.

    To ACEWA’s founders, such language validates the need for the committee, showing that dissent from a bellicose, Russia-bashing party line is marginalized in American discourse. “McCarthyite” attacks on Russia-policy dissenters have been decried by Cohen, Doctorow (who hailed Cohen as the “Great American American Dissident”) and James Carden, the former National Interest columnist who is now editor of ACEWA’s website.

    Yet the drubbing Cohen has received was due largely to his propensity for crossing the line into Kremlinesque spin. During the Crimea grab, he asserted that “we don’t know that Putin went into Crimea”; later, he insisted that the Russia-backed insurgents of Donetsk and Luhansk were “resisters” with a valid claim to self-defense since those regions had “voted overwhelmingly for autonomy” (never mind that the separatist-controlled vote was a blatant farce and polls showed most locals opposing secession).

    Speaking to The Daily Beast, Cohen defended some of his statements; for instance, he explained that he did not know at the time whether the “little green men” who executed the Crimea takeover were new special forces sent from Russia or Russian troops already stationed there under a treaty with Ukraine. (In fact, they wore no insignia, and Putin claimed they were “local self-defense units.”) However, Cohen concedes that he might have been “insufficiently critical of Russia’s contribution to the crisis”—but says it was a “conscious strategy” to counteract a one-sided media narrative. “Russia’s side of the story was not being told, and I knew I was going to get grief for trying to tell it as I understood it,” says Cohen, adding that he was further constrained by very limited television airtime.

    Reference MH17-----

    Roland Oliphant @RolandOliphant

    Two days to go until the Dutch Safety Board's MH17 report is released, Russia already crying foul.

    http://www.nst.com.my/news/2015/10/r...ed-dutch-probe

    If Russia did believe the Almaz-Antey findings, it would use the DSB report to buttress a "Ukrainian Buk did it" theory. But, clearly not.

    Russia continue to do everything in its power to undermine the meticulous official Dutch investigation into MH17. https://twitter.com/RT_com/status/653249134330257408

    Dutch Investigators 'Sloughed Off' Cooperation With Russia on MH17 Crash

    MH17 Crash Investigation

    Russia has expressed its disappointment several times over the fact that the Dutch investigations on the cause of the downing of the MH17 airlines last year over eastern Ukraine have basically sloughed off cooperation with Russian specialists, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday.

    MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Peskov said that a number of factors into the downing of the MH17 flight in March 2014 presented by Russia to the Dutch Safety Board “was not taken into consideration” during the investigations.

    “What will be published tomorrow [by the Dutch Safety Board] will be thoroughly studied by our experts and specialists, but the Russian side has expressed several times its disappointment to the fact that there is a lack of needed cooperation and involvement of Russian specialists in the investigations,” Peskov told journalists.

    The board claimed in its preliminary report that the plane broke up in-air from structural damage caused by a large number of high-energy objects.
