Tanks Headed Towards Kiev
Maidan ^ | November 24, 2004

12 Tanks are Going Towards Kiev

They are moving North towards Fastiv highway, having already crossed Odessa highway. They are using detour roads. We remind that police forces and the army must defend their people and the President they have chosen --people's President V.Yuschenko.

ROFL, indeed.

I'm sure they won't. Why? Because they know it's wrong. Unlike some of the neo-Soviets creeping about FR these days.

Meanwhile, I'm sure you and your cohorts will no doubt continue carping on about how "most of the East" voted for Yanukovich, and how Putin is such a good Christian.

ROFL.

Interesting--I hadn't thought of that.

Amazing that the neo-Soviet thugocracy keeps trying to repeat history. Do they think they can partition the Ukraine like Germany after WWII? LOL.

Try looking up a word for me and sharing it with your fellow paranoids ok?

G-u-l-l-i-b-l-e.

Now I know why the pharmaceutical industry is so profitable.

He was poisoned and run off the road, two attempts made on his life, reportedly by either Putin's people or the Russian mob who appear to be working together

They're not just working together.

They're the same people.

Don't forget that Yanukovich is also a convicted criminal, with crimes like robbery and assault on his record. Mob man, no doubt, which is why the maffia is trying to steal the election for him.

Sure, we're all paranoid.

Every last one us...Dick Lugar, Colin Powell, the Canadian government, the OSCE, the EU, the Poles, NATO....all paranoid. In fact, the only sane players in this little psychodrama are you and Pootie-Poot.

ROFL.

Would not surprise me at all, this thing is a bit complex to put together, lots of events working at once.

There was a Pavlo Lazarenko who embezzled a ton of money (together with Yuliya Timoshchenko). He took off for the states and Yuliya was 'planted' in jail for awhile.'96? 2000? I can't remember. I don't know if was ever an ambassador or whatever, but I think it was the former president of Georgia who was the big foreign minister for Gorby.

That is true.

The only thing you can be sure of is that Putin (and his devout amen corner here on FR) do NOT have either Ukrainian or American interests at heart.

Quite frankly I have heard pro and con about both candidates but with Colin Powell coming out for Yushchenko that's good enough for me.

Well the pharm industry surely hates me. Never ill, doctor for a physical every two years, don't even take aspirin but once every couple years. Another misconception of yours crushed to smithereens. Or was it not a misconception but just a garden variety pan Slavist discrediting operation attempt.

As an aside, I do find it humorous, that here I am, ethnically "pan Slavic" (but for a slight amount of German and Mongol blood and with acknowlegement of being more or less assimilated into Anglo American culture) arguing with an American born WASP who buys into Pan Slavism. Amazing, truly amazing! The world has gone completely mad....

There is not a doubt in my mind that Putin would steal an election in a heartbeat. IMHO He wants to put the old Soviet Union back together. I don't think this guy ever stopped being the head of the kgb. They just call it something different now. Freedom in Russia is disappearing rapidly. With the Russians actions always speak louder than words.

WASP? I don't think so. Define this word for me.

I'm skeptical about this report of 12 tanks moving on Kyiv. Aren't they already there? Or did they break down? Does the Ukraine even have 12 tanks in working order?

From an article last April:

...But the corruption is much wider and more universal. For example: in 2001 according to the inventory by our armed forces, 200 tanks were in use and combat-ready. And they were happy about it. But now it has been shown that from 2000-2001 in the Ukrainian armed forces only 10(!) tanks were in use.

From one point of view, there is optimism. Since the tanks are still there, it means no one stole them. But so far as much as the utilization of tanks costs money, would it not be interesting to find out where the money went that was to be used for maintenance of the other 190 tanks, which, according to the military, were being utilized and at full combat readiness?

Hopefully someone can post some pics of these tanks soon, because I don't think many pharmacies are open tomorrow.

That's right! It was Georgia!! I still can't remember his name, but, oh well...
