    MH17 - Sputnik gets aboard the "It Was Actually A Buk All Along" train http://sputniknews.com/europe/20150506/1021764384.html
    kaur--about 30 minutes after the Russian report hit the social media---bellingcat and others already questioned the validity of the missile launch site as being wrong and the angle of the fired missile was wrong and today it appears they were right.

    So yes at least Russia admitted now to a BUK having been fired--BUT they have shifted back to the original Ukrainian alleged BUK as being responsible which was also debunked months ago.

    What is interesting is to watch US media journalists parrot the Russian release and then in the same breath actually allude to "well just maybe" it could have been the Ukrainians. US journalists are getting rather sloppy with their work.

    Looks like there's more and more evidence that the claimed launch area in the leaked Russian MH17 report is false

    I'm not surprised. This cycle has been going on over a year. I'll be surprised if Putin admits that his people hit the plane, like he admitted lately that his men annexed Crimea.

    kaur--you will recognize this UK journalist--note the date of his shot down comments--he was in the Ukraine with the mercenaries at the time of the shot down and was on the actual site filming a number of times.

    All rational #MH17 evidence points to the conclusion - the plane was shot down either by one, or two Ukrainian fighter jets.

    Canadian radio station about Anatoly Shariy,(runaway Ukrainian journalist who constantly makes fun of Ukrainian media scammers) an interview with him included:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQWhsZJ4bRk

    Hilarious commentary at 2:50 "Is he a dissident voice or pro-Russian voice?"
    as if being critical of current Ukrainian regime inevitably makes a person pro-Russian. What kind of political mindset makes such conclusion possible? Or is it just Western media bias and propaganda effect?

    comrade mirhond---noticed he was able to travel and park himself in a mainly pro Ukrainian country call Canada where one of the largest Ukrainian immigrant groups resides--how authentic is the critic if he sits nice and snug in a coffee shop in Canada--come on mirhond find a better "narrative"

    BUT here though is a perfect example/better example of your ethnic Ukrainian Russian ie a "proRussian".

    30yo. #Russia terrorist & war criminal "Motorola" wears more "medals" on #Donetsk parade than local #WW2 vets. https://twitter.com/search?q=pic.twi...ZG%20&src=typd

    comrade mirhond--does it make sense to you that a Ukrainian WW2 vet who fought heavily and possible for years has far less medals than a known killer of POWs who has only fought for less than a year???--remember even he himself stated during a recently taped video interview that he had killed no less than 15 Ukrainian POWs--then he casually stated--"what is the problem with that" thus making himself a number one "war criminal" for the Hague.

    find a better "narrative" mirhond --think about it.

    BTW the photo link works and I have other photos from him yesterday on hand if you want to see them as well---

    AND the "so called" leader of the proRussian DNR--almost fell off his reviewing stand during the Donetsk parade yesterday as he was so drunk--what a group of "proRussians"--all united by vodka and dreams of "war glory" since they had been before the war just normal bounce around handy men with no completed education nor profession.

    wow what "political" leadership mirhond---

    Are those gale force winds blowing separatist leader Zakharchenko around, or has he had one vodka too many? https://youtube.com/watch?v=bJ-RlyKn...ature=youtu.be

    an this is the average ethnic Ukrainian Donbas proRussian leader--come on comrade mirhond--narrative, narrative, narrative------no wonder they needed the help of the Russia army to deal with the Ukrainian Army.

    BTW--a side comment is due on this particular video--your own Russian Defense Minister and the Russian Foreign Minster both accused the US of lying when the US stated there were Russian AD missile systems inside the Minsk 2 contact line---here are Strela 10s or SA-13s 10 km from the contact line (actually must be a minimum of 50kms from the forward contact line)--thus comrade mirhond--"who exactly lied"??

    BTW--OSCE warned Russia about this violation of Minsk 2.

    Amnesty International: At least five witnesses to Motorola's murder of Ukrainian POW Ihor Baranovitskiy. http://donbass.hromadskeradio.org/20...international/

    remember when I indicated Russian theft of Ukrainian coal???

    #Horlivka @NovaGorlivka 22 coal [railroad] cars travelled to an undisclosed location tow/#Mykytivka station,maybe tow/Debaltseve and further

    remember the Russian lies about AD systems in the Ukraine???

    mirhond--this seems to be about the only "growth market" in the Donbas right now.

    At least one cannot say the Russian mercenaries are not “capitalists”???

    Moderator's Note see Post 333 for translation of cited text.

    See PoRada enacted a decree that denounces some articles of
    International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and
    European Convention on Human Rights

    http://w1.c1.rada.gov.ua/pls/zweb2/w...1?pf3511=54997

    Draft Resolution on approval of the statements of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine "On Ukraine derogation from certain obligations defined by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights"
    ... based on necessity of handling Russian agression, of cause.

    one peace of the decree is wonderful:
    Водночас, проведення антитерористичної операції з метою відвернення загрози знищення Українського народу збройною агресією Російської Федерації є тією межею, яка дозволяє тимчасово обмежувати свободу пересування і право на приватне життя

    mirhond--finally you are totally correct--they are so bad assed they are literally stealing scrap metal from just about anywhere in the Donbas--today reports of scrap metal being taken out of a functioning coal mine almost forcing it to shut down--thieves were chased off by the miners themselves as there is no functioning police force in the occupied mercenary areas. so much for calling themselves a"people's republic"--should be more like the "republic for and by thieves" right mirhond????.

    what is it with this Russian scrap metal theft lately--is Russia running out of steel or is it really simply typical Russian corruption at work at the lowest levels????????

    meaning my mercenary salary for killing Ukrainians is not making me rich enough so I will steal anything I want--BUT wait is not the Donbas the ethnic Russian region and proRussian SO why are they stealing from their own????

    awaiting an answer........

    So, who are these noble fighters, you might ask? Of cause its OUN-UPA

    1. OUN BN is now a full member of the Ukrainian Army

    2. mirhond--you still did not answer just why Russians are stealing all the scrap metal in the Donbas

    3. provide us kindly the reason why Stalin during the forced collectivization of the Ukraine started a starvation campaign in 1932 that resulted in the starvation of approximately 2M Ukrainians ONLY then to replace them with ethnic Russians where they no longer existed--

    mirhond you do realize that the Stalin starvation campaign resulted in ethnic Russians now being in the Donbas which was traditionally 94% Ukrainian--you do acknowledge that piece of Russian history right?

    BTW mirhond the Donbas in 1932 was never ethnic Russian--check your statistics---over after Stalin's starvation did it flip ethnically.

    BTW check how Stalin in other parts of the SU did in fact thorugh a similar series of campaigns (especially his deportations after 1945) replace those ethnic nationalities with ethnic Russians--check it --historically proven thus no need to even debate

    Anastas Mikoyan, a Stalinist Politburo member who survived into the Khrushchev era, at one point explained why it was impossible to rehabilitate people too quickly. If they were all declared innocent at once, “it would be clear that the country was not being run by a legal government, but by a group of gangsters.”


    When Cardinal Theodor Innitzer of Vienna tried to appeal for food aid for the starving in summer and autumn 1933, Soviet authorities rebuffed him nastily, saying that the Soviet Union had neither cardinals nor cannibals—a statement that was only half true.

    Default How to Spend a Weekend in Saint Petersburg

    About 7,000 people in the region around what was then known as Leningrad disappeared in Stalin's purges from 1930 to 1936 and nearly 40,000 more were killed from August to November 1937, the peak of the terror, according to Memorial. Thousands were buried in a cemetery discovered a decade ago in the village of Levashevo, but relatives of victims had long believed that Stalin's executioners took most of the political prisoners to the Rzhevsk army range in Toksovo, just north of Leningrad, where they were shot and buried.
