Report: Putin threatens to use Ukrainian women, children, as human shields
bizpacreview.com ^ | March 6, 2014 | Michael Dorstewitz

Posted on 03/06/2014 11:17:30 PM PST by Berlin_Freeper

“We don’t want to do it, but we will, we will do it only in order to protect Ukrainian citizens. We will put their women and children in front of our troops, not behind, but in front and we will be hiding our solders behind them. I dare any Ukrainian commander to give an order to shoot at such crowd.”

This is such BS. Someone told me the other night that the Ukrainians had burned down 65 synagogues. He watches all these crazy foreign cable channels.

Here is some more anti-Russia propaganda from 18 months ago ...

Putin’s July 4th Message
July 6, 2012
Two Russian strategic nuclear bombers entered the U.S. air defense zone near the Pacific coast on Wednesday and were met by U.S. interceptor jets, defense officials told the Free Beacon.

Who was telling this when about whom and where?

Oh, pipe down! You are an old Freeper and should be able to read a text and understand it. Putin is saying that the Ukrainians would stand with the Russians. Right or wrong - probably right in some places, and wrong in most places - but that is all he is saying.

Calm down and stop buying in to all the propaganda!

Please be careful with that DR. The Germans deliberately massacred over 5000 Belgian civilians during their WW1 invasion of Belgium.

It’s good that this particular piece of anti-Putin propaganda is being called out, so kudos for that. But please be careful not to diminish real atrocities.

I am very calm and don’t need to pipe down.

Of all the scenarios Putin could come up with - he threatens women and children as human shields.

Who else have we only seen this disgraceful promise from before... hmm... oh yea, Russian allies Saddam Hussein and Iran.

You need to reevaluate your moral compass on just how low you are willing to sink in order to cover for Putin.

Agreed that it smacks of anti-Putin propaganda, but we all know that the enemy is the media. It’s our job to digest all available information and deduce the truth, but we should refrain from infighting.

Of course, that is Russia Today's translation and should be questionable at the very least. I wish I could understand Russian myself so I don't have to rely on these translations. Here's Bizpac's version, which sounds a bit biased to me:

“We don’t want to do it, but we will, we will do it only in order to protect Ukrainian citizens. We will put their women and children in front of our troops, not behind, but in front and we will be hiding our solders behind them. I dare any Ukrainian commander to give an order to shoot at such crowd.”

And here's the version from FrontPage Mag:

"Putin: Listen to me. Listen to me carefully. I want you to correctly understand me.

If we reach that decision, only if we reach that decision, it will only be for the defense of Ukrainian citizens, let anyone from the military dare shoot at their own people which we will be behind, not in front but behind, let them try and shoot at women and children.

Let me see who in the Ukraine will give such an order."

http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/dgreenfield/putin-threatens-to-use-ukrainian-women-and-children-as-human-shields/

And here's the raw video itself, which already has about 80,000 views and some comments that claim to understand what he's saying. (of course, it's Youtube so...who knows)

Well, well.....

I don’t cover for Putin, but this is the time to try and keep a clear head and actuallt t-r-y to understand where the different protagonists stand.

However, it is interesting to see how the war psychosis spreads. Even here at FR. It does not bode well.

Obviously Obama’s puppetmaster MSM is writing propaganda fiction about Putin because he doesn’t approve of the LGBT / pedophile lifestyle.

All three translations we see in this thread have Putin saying his military will use human shields for his illegal invasion.

Desperate men say and do desperate things.

The only reasonable discussion about this - is if desperate Putin is starting to crack?

Obviously from all three translations the answer is yes.

Freedom loving people should be very concerned about that.

Making cheap and flippant excuses for Putin is only inviting more serious trouble.

I don’t trust this report. I have a friend who is Russian & is an English teacher in Russia & has been speaking English for 25 years. I will have him watch idea & give detailed translation. I do.tt believe Putin would be dumb enough to say such a thing publicly, not do I believe that is a Russian war strategy in 2014.

war psychosis spreads?

Interesting psycho babble from a Swede posting on an American Conservative forum, while promoting Putin’s illegal invasion as justified and disparaging those opposed to his war.

What does your Swedish psychiatrist say about that?

See my last post. I should have an accurate translation by later today. There is 9 hr difference & I’ll be speaking to my friend this afternoon.

Another cheap excuse. The leader of mighty Russia is expressly talking about using women and children as human shields for his illegal military invasion of Ukraine.

FrontPage translation is suspect. Russians dont refer to Ukraine as ”the Ukraine”
