Journalist Throws Boot At Ukrainian Pro-NATO Speaker

Oleg Soskin, a member of the Ukraine-NATO Social League Coordination Council, was making a speech when he was interrupted by a journalist from one of the local TV channels, who shouted: “Students, you’re young and promising, don’t you listen to these stupid and marasmic old men!” The journalist then took off his boots and threw them at Soskin.

Russia Accuses Ukraine of Selling Weapons to Georgia

Here we go...............

Over 90 percent of the funds, which Kiev obtained from arms sales, have been embezzled, the committee investigating the illegal arms sales to Georgia concluded. The committee was set up under the initiative of the Party of the Regions after the Caucasian crisis in August. The committee determined that the arms shipments, which the Ukrainian administration organized, were conducted in violation of both national and international laws.

Georgia was receiving weapons from Ukraine before and after the armed conflict in South Ossetia. What is more, Georgia is still receiving the Ukrainian weapons, but the income from their sales hardly ever makes it to the treasury. Ukraine has sold weapons in the sum of $2.5 billion over the recent four years, the committee said. Only $200 million of the amount has been transferred to the treasury. The funds could have been a rescue for the nation that suffers considerable losses from the world financial crisis.

Cheney tells Ukraine's leaders to unite in face of Russian threat

I waited 4 years for the anti-Russian statements that are coming out of Washington and they are long overdue. This is just the beginning....

NATO ships cause alarm in Moscow

Is something brewing? Keep messing around COMMIES.....

MOSCOW: Russian commanders Wednesday said they were growing alarmed at the number of NATO warships sailing into the Black Sea, conceding that NATO vessels now outnumbered the ships in their fleet anchored off the western coast of Georgia.

As focus turned to the balance of naval power in the sea, the leader of the separatist region of Abkhazia said he would invite Russia to establish a naval base at the deep-water port of Sukhumi.

And in a move certain to pique Russia, at a time when tensions over Ukraine's predominantly Russian province of Crimea are already elevated, the Ukrainian president, Viktor Yushchenko, said he would open negotiations with the authorities in Moscow to raise the rent on the Russian naval base at Sevastopol.

The Untied States is pursuing a delicate policy of delivering humanitarian aid on military transport planes and ships, to illustrate to the Russians that they do not fully control Georgia's airspace or coastline.

The policy has left American and Russian naval vessels maneuvering in close proximity off the western coast of Georgia, with the Americans sailing near the southern port of Batumi and the Russians the central port of Poti.

Ukraine Ready To Work With West On Missile Defense

You people be ready for a terror attack any time now. The real reason Bush is up Putin's ass is because of their ties to Iran, Syria, North Korea, Venezuela, violence in Africa, China and Al Qaeda. Yes, I said Al Qaeda...

Don't believe me? You will when the nukes go off....BOOM

Putin is using the radical Muslims, the same way that Hitler used the fanatical Japanese. Only in this war they are undermining our laws via the liberal courts, communist front groups like the ACLU and treasonous judges. They are also using sabotage, propaganda and infiltration .....

Ukraine says it is ready to make its missile warning systems available for Western countries after Russia announced it was pulling out of a long-term missile defense agreement.

The offer comes amid tensions between Kyiv and Moscow over the military conflict in Georgia, and follows Poland's agreement to host elements of a U.S. missile defense shield that Moscow strongly opposes.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Russia's abrogation this year of an agreement involving two tracking stations allows Ukraine to cooperate with other countries on missile warning systems and satellite tracking.

President Viktor Yushchenko issued a decree this week putting an end to Ukraine's participation in the 1992 accord in view of Russia's own abrogation of the deal in February, that came in response to Ukraine's application for NATO membership.

The statement says the country could invite European partners to integrate their early-warning systems. It says Kyiv is also ready to deal with "foreign countries interested in getting information about the situation in space."

The announcement is seen as further evidence of Ukraine's efforts to move closer to the West on security issues.

Ukraine's leadership has been increasingly at odds with Russia on a wide range of foreign-policy issues, including Russia's conflict with Georgia, a close ally of Ukraine, over South Ossetia.

On August 13, the Ukrainian president's office issued a decree ordering Russia to request permission to move its warships based in the Crimean peninsula.

The deputy chief of the Russian armed forces' General Staff, Colonel General Anatoly Nogovitsyn, dismissed the order as "nonsense."

"As for the Black Sea Fleet, we adhere to agreements that were signed by both sides. Those agreements clearly defined the status of our Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol and were not called into question until the Ukrainian side changed its mind," Nogovitsyn said.

"We are working on this issue now. I think we will see some decisions made soon. The current situation cannot remain as it is for long, he added. "Obviously, we need negotiations in a bilateral format again in order to reach an agreement."

Russia was also angered by a preliminary deal allowing the United States to site missiles in Poland, which Washington says is needed against "rogue states" such as Iran.

Under the deal, signed by Poland on August 14, the United States will install 10 interceptor missiles at a base on the Baltic coast in return for help in strengthening Polish air defenses.

Nogovitsyn said the move will further harm ties with the West already strained by the Georgian conflict.

"When one party agrees to host [a foreign facility], of course, it assumes certain responsibilities. And we're talking about a military facility in this case, so there is additional [responsibility]," Nogovitsyn said.

"Certainly, any facility is the target -- excuse me, I mean the subject of the interests of another country. So, of course, one has to be careful with that," he said. "A bordering country always makes it its priority to strike such installations [in case of conflict]. So, it is not simply -- it cannot go unpunished from the point of view of [its] military use and so on."

Poland says the timing of the missile deal had nothing to do with hostilities in Georgia.

Poland, the Ukraine and Baltics to Help Georgia?

THIS IS GOING TO GET VERY INTERESTING...

Poland and the Ukraine know that Putin will come for them next if they do not fight together NOW.

"We came to fight because a northern neighbor wants to suppress a small country. We want to tell it 'No!'," Polish President Lech Kaczynski said.

"This country thinks that old times will come back, but those times are over. Everyone knows that Ukraine, then Poland could be next," Kaczynski said.

The presidents of Ukraine and the three post-Soviet Baltic countries - Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia - were also on the podium with Georgian leader Mikheil Saakashvili.

Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko told the crowd in Tbilisi that his country will support Georgia in its battle for independence.

"If they put under question democracy and independence in Georgia, then they can undermine democracy and independence in other states," he said.

Did the KGB Poison Yushchenko After Attempt to Join NATO?

Once again this shows the desperate attempts to derail and destroy NATO. I guess NATO is not the useless entity that everyone thinks it is, if the Russians want them to disappear so badly. Russia signed a pact last week with Italy and they are trying to form their own European alliance to combat NATO.

I refuse to call the KGB by their new label FSB, because they are still the same ole merry bunch of thugs and murderers. This is just another attempt at deception and fooling the sheeple just like they did with their false collapse and democracy.

I find it interesting that Yushchenko was poisoned soon after he tried to get the Ukraine into NATO.

Ukraine's pro-Western leadership has been pursuing NATO membership since 2004, when President Viktor Yushchenko came to power.

There were protests this weekend about NATO's Naval exercises in the Black Sea, I am sure they were staged by the usual useful idiots. I wonder if Ron Paul attended.
