The White House is confirming that CIA Director John Brennan was in the Ukrainian capital over the weekend. White House press secretary Jay Carney confirmed Russian media reports of the trip to Kiev. Carney says Brennan's visit was part of a trip to Europe.

Ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych is accusing the CIA of being behind the new government's decision to turn to force. But the CIA denies that Brennan encouraged Ukrainian authorities to conduct tactical operations.

All of your ID’s show up at exactly the same time, every time, with nothing to add to a discussion but insults and obsfuscation of anything that doesn’t meet the approved Svoboda/Right Sector line.

Stop trolling and try thinking for a change, kid.

The Nazi’s were the one’s throwing firebombs at the police at Maidan, remember??

Or were those pics on the Euromaidan PR at the time all Russian propaganda, as well?

“Facts” are “insults” to Russians, that much is true. But in the interest of full disclosure, I am working a temporary assignment on the behalf of George Soros, for the neo-Nazi wing of Monsanto.

Ukrainians are not invading their neighbors. The only people doing that are Putin’s no insignia fag army. You are doing good work here, comrade.

“Hey now, some of us remember the Great Patriotic War.”

Oh yeah, that was way back when the German leaders decided that controlling Ukraine would be the best way to ensure Germanys future. Say,, you know,,,,,,, oh nevermind.

The fact that the Russians seem to know where our DCI is before people at the CIA do is SOOOOO typical Obama.

It’s hard not to wonder why the director of the CIA couldn’t have phoned the Ukraine president with whatever he had to say to him, instead of taking a secret trip to Kiev, which he should have known the KGB would soon uncover and publicize.

What a coup for Russian intelligence: Outing the U.S.’s director of intelligence in the middle of a clandestine journey.

We look so bad. But whatever the CIA director was doing in Kiev it must have been important. For example, finalizing an agreement for Ukraine to allow referendums in its Russian-speaking areas in exchange for billions of U.S. dollars and the assurance that Russia will not invade Ukraine, at least as long as the referendums are in favor of the areas joining with Russia.

“But whatever the CIA director was doing in Kiev it must have been important. For example, finalizing an agreement for Ukraine....”

Russian Media was reporting that he had encouraged the Kiev coup government to attack Russian protesters in the East, as a show that the gov could control it.

But yours is the more plausible scenario.

Calling these people 'Nazis' would tend to support the argument that you're parroting Russian propaganda.

Are they actual members of the National Socialist German Worker's Party? No.

Therefore the people at the Maidan, whoever they were, are not Nazis.

“Calling these people ‘Nazis’ would tend to support the argument that you’re parroting Russian propaganda.”

So, the Nazi symbol as their calling card, and all of the other stuff, is just coinky-dink, right?
