Russia, Ukraine and Compassionate State Reorganizationism


The Ukraine has the fourth lowest birth rate in the world and only 44 million people. It is a productive place with a large land area that reasonable should have a rapproachment with the new Russia that itself may evolve a free enterprise democracy free of rampant corporatism in time. When Russia raised its tricolor flag on 26 Dec. 1991 to declare itself an independent new nation free of Soviet control it began the long process of repairing the damages done by the Dictator from Georgia Joseph Djugashvilli and the Soviet communist party. Repressing the desire of Russia to secure its traditional lands in its possession prior to the Soviet revolution isn’t reasonable. The Soviet communists were not elected to power by popular vote to start.

One wonders where statesmanship and wisdom depart to after a nation experiences international political success. The axiom that some can’t stand prosperity evidently applies to foreign policy too. After the end of the cold war the United States managed to botch relations with the new Russia, pile up $17 trillion of public debt and outsource so many jobs while concentrating wealth and degrading democracy. The Congress can’t even pass a budget. U.S. leadership still has time to bugger up international relations and the media too much sound jingoistic in being Don Quixote cold wars tilting against the Soviet Union in the 21st century of imagination.

 

The Ukraine was taken away briefly from Russia by V.I. Lenin and Trotsky who cut a deal with the Kaiser so they could quit W.W.I Yet that giveaway was reversed at the Treaty of Versailles concluding W.W.I. The Ukraine was divided up in three parts with the Soviets getting the eastern part. During the war 3.5 million Ukrainians fought for Russia and a quarter million fought on the other side.. The U.S. Government in effect has the same policy as Kaiser and Hitler toward the Ukraine in that it should all belong to someone else than Russia. Yet Ukraine is as much Russian homeland as Israel is for Jews although other people live their too.

 


 

The Ukraine emerged as independent January 24 1991 following the dissolution of the former Soviet Union.  In the absence of a government in Russia and with pressure and support from the West political independence was an obvious evolution from the failed system. It does not necessarily follow however that Russia should forfeit claim to its traditional lands though Russia itself had been taken over by Soviet coup. Russia is a perennial land much like Britain in that regard even if Scotland moves for independence a rump state of Britain will remain.

 


 

Weak Soviet and Russian leaders have been pressurized by the west to give up the Ukraine before. Lenin, and Yeltsin signed treaties about the Ukraine and Hitler just took the western part and that could never have occurred without the threat or use of violence.

Ukrainian leaders cooperated with the Nazi’s after the invasion as they hated the Soviets because of the mass starvation Stalin directed. Ukrainian auxiliary police helped round up Jews for the holocaust.

 



-quote from Wikipedia article on Ukrainian Collaboration With the Nazis…


The atrocities against the Jewish population during the Holocaust started within a few days of the beginning of German occupation. There are indications that the Ukrainian auxiliary police was used in the round-up of Jews for the Babi Yar massacre[8][9] and in other Ukrainian cities and towns, such as Lviv,[10][11] Lutsk,[12] and Zhytomyr.[13] On September 1, 1941, Nazi-controlled Ukrainian newspaper Volhyn wrote "The element that settled our cities (Jews)... must disappear completely from our cities. The Jewish problem is already in the process of being solved."[14]

In May 2006, a Ukrainian newspaper Ukraine Christian News commented: "Carrying out the massacre was the Einsatzgruppe C, supported by members of a Waffen-SS battalion and units of the Ukrainian auxiliary police, under the general command of Friedrich Jeckeln. The participation of Ukrainian collaborators in these events, now documented and proven, is a matter of painful public debate in Ukraine.".[15]

Russia has never backed down from a peer war and has won a few, almost always in defense. Russian fought for 500 years to get the Mongol hordes out of their country. The United States has no comparable history. Custer lost a battle against Indians fighting for honor while Bill Clinton had Janet Reno protecting his flank yet blew it anyway. Respect Russian history and give their present status honor, they have overcome dictators in ways the U.S.A. can’t even imagine, and may need to one day. The end of history did not occur in Dec. 1989.

 

Russia should have the East side of the Don River for traditional security against invaders and because it’s rightly Russian. When one might ask, did Russia ever invade the west? Wasn’t it the French (Napoleon), German’s (Hitler) and Mongols (Far East) who invaded and occupied Moscow? Snatch and grabbing the vast lands to the east defended by weak transitional rulers shouldn’t rollover to be a 21st century policy. Boston D.C. bullies shouldn’t be so cold blooded in disregarding history. Historians shouldn’t be on the side of goons of conquest and write sycophantic propaganda. D.C. politicians should teach the world to sing in perfect harmony their own personalized chords of moral and economic creativity.

In an era short of easy lands to colonize around the globe the Russian lands in the late Soviet Union are easy back-yard pickings for N.A.T.O., Boston and Washington D.C. as irresistible as a bucket of Colonel Sanders chicken with original formula, gravy, biscuits, mashed potatoes and cole slaw on the side.

 

Today’s western political carpet baggers and the Nazis looked to the fertile Ukraine as blingin booty. The Ukraine is the third largest grain producer in the world and a major exporter to global food supply.

 

With a corrupt national economic policy without the derivatives and banking scams available presently the plundering of historically Russian territory like the Eastern Ukraine and Crimea is about all that’s available. Destabilizing Russia by emasculating their southern nether regions is not in the long range interest of stable world peace. Obviously wars pay good money to arms manufacturers and defense contractors in the U.S.A. though.

 

Since President Wilson signed a separate peace with Germany at the end of the First World War that did not guarantee French security the U.S.A. has implemented malfunctioning international security arrangements for short-term profit. From the Paris peace talks ending the Vietnam conflict to the failed nation rebuilding policy of Iraq and Afghanistan U.S. foreign policy has been malfunctional. Abusing post-Soviet Union Russia now with N.A.T.O. bullies so martinets can plunder Russia for-profit is senseless. A stable Russia sharing the Ukraine with locals would remove the real threat to Russia of aggressive western military build up and that intimidating concern on its borders. Washington D.C. forces its dresses upon foreign leaders and their populace wherever it can these days in order to conform to the image of the godless beast of scientism.

 

The Ukraine provided troops that fought for the Nazis in the Second World War. It is always possible to find those that will fight for any cause viewed as promoting narrow self-interest. When the United States helped stage a coup against the Iranian Prime Minister a half century ago it built a foundation for troubles that never ceased. With so many enemies in the world today and with so vast of a public debt is it a good idea to place Russia permanently on the side of those that have been unfairly wounded by U.S. foreign policy and so build a future of existential instability?

 


 

It is important to see the woods as well as the trees in making strategic foreign policy decisions. Continuing with inertia from old cold war criteria is understandable for Senator McCain who was eight years a P.O.W. yet for President Obama it’s disingenuous; he was living in Indonesia or paradise island. President Suharto was no communist.

 

U.S. Secretary of State Kerry said his generation of vets were war criminals. Changing sides from that of sailor and decorated veteran to anti-war protest leader and heroic symbol of turncoat to left counter-culture regardless of the merits of that movement John Kerry used that platform to run for political office, become a Senator and take an heiress wife of a multi-billion dollar ketchup empire. Profiteering is in the blood. The Ukraine is the present l.e.m. of desire. Obama, Kerry et al are procuring a corporate annexation of land that should be shared with Russia on the east side of the river Don and Nazi-corporatist/Boston D.C. axis of gay symps on the left ought be considered.

 

Russia has been a good partner in the war against Muslim terrorism since 9-11 and provide a warning about the about the Boston Marathon bomber that was ignored. With the approaching end to U.S. ineptitude in Afghanistan soon as it enters a new phase Russia might choose to withhold cooperation in sharing intelligence on terrorism with the U.S.A. if sanctions are imposed. U.S. diplomacy and competence at international justice are lacking inn the Ukrainian affair. It seems as if the dope smoking advocate I.Q. attrition challenged Democrat Party leadership thinks it a football game to cheer for ‘their’ side. Did anyone in that party study up Russian history at all?

 

Reagan wins the peace, the follow up profligate boomer military runts acting like carpet baggers should leave off with the idiocy and just let Russia renormalize to a stable configuration. That does not include the Baltic Republics or the other now independent nations of the former Soviet Union unless they freely want to associate with a renormalized post-Soviet non-communist Russia.
