Someone explain to me so I can understand. How is it that Russia is somehow negligent in influencing pro-Russian separatists in east Ukraine, when the Kiev junta’s forces are the ones shelling civilians daily? Does Germany’s Angela Merkel see something the world cannot? God only knows.

A headline this morning from the Sydney Morning Herald reads; “Angela Merkel tells Vladimir Putin: No Ukraine summit without progress on Minsk peace plan.” Excuse me? Using the Minsk peace plan agreed upon in September as an excuse, the German Chancellor has turned logic on its ear pointing the crooked finger at Putin once again. To quote the Herald story on Ukraine summit suggested by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko; Dr Merkel’s spokesman told reporters.

The skeptical reader here is going to point to 5,000 western media stories that parrot and support the idea Putin is the aggressor here. Headlines in my country, and all over the west, they echo like some Swiss yodel over the artillery fire coming from the west. Point of fact here, British journalist Graham Phillips from Donbass shares every day the real story of east Ukraine. Why are you not listening and watching?

Graphic warning:

This video shows young Vanya, he is 8 years old. His beautiful little brother was killed in the bombing that made him a triple amputee and almost entirely blind. The bomb that was dropped on them was fired by the Ukrainian military who still continue bombing civilians. Vanya is not Russian, he was born in Ukraine. His family voted for separation from the fascist new Ukrainian government. Does that give them the right to do what they have done to this poor little boy? Where is the US media reporting on this young mans situation? Why do we in the United States receive no information on what the Kiev regime are doing to their own citizens? Face it USA we are being propagandized on a massive scale. The US is financing the Kiev battalions that did this to Vanya.

1. The bombing of civilians by the Ukrainian army has commenced full fledged once again.

The US media is currently not covering what is going on there.

There are a lot of videos coming out within the past 12 hours proving that the Ukrainian military has commenced shelling the civilian population.

1-12.01.2015 - Donetsk - 5 Attack Videos: Shelled of Donetsk
& Gorlovka, lot of destruction, killed civilians, disrupted water &
electricity in some areas.

2. K&R

I'm sorry, but the MIC requires conflict at some level, some where on the planet, more or less continuously. Can you imagine what would happen to the economy of the largest arms dealer in the world if peace were to break out?

- That's what we have the CIA for. To make sure that never happens.....

3. Yay! SPASIBA for the fake news site from Russia! What else does Putin want us to think?

It's morning in Moscow. 6:42 AM to be exact.

4. It's pronounced "spasiba"

and spelled "spasibo". At least educate yourself a little and try to get something right.

5. The US fought a Civil War to prevent the South from seceding.

Is that any different from the Ukraine's fight to prevent East Ukraine from seceding?

If it is, what is the difference? I am asking sincerely.
