Ukraine’s deputy foreign minister was installed by Obama and the EU.

Whatever Putin wants, he'll get because in 2008 he knew the man elected to the White House would not stand in the way to Russia (or anybody else’s) territorial aggrandizement.

Putin KNEW THEN and KNOWS TODAY that Obama will chastise him but do nothing. Red lines stated, red lines erased. RESET stated, RESET in Obama’s mind only...pathetic.

I guess he thought that all were going to bow down to him and his humility and help him build a brave new world socialist order.

1000 days and a 1000 points of light extinguished one by one.

Oh Absolutely.....

PM Yats was the one who ordered the airlift and confiscation of Ukraine’s gold reserve, assumed now safely tucked away at the NYFed. Lest we forget, both Iraq and Libya had their gold reserves confiscated by the US.

At any rate....There would be no further US involvement without that up front. Yats was positioned with that in mind as well as the appointment of the new head of the National Bank of Ukraine Stepan Kubiv.

As said...”Follow the money!”

BTW...just a note of interest now the Us has Ukraine’s gold.....Syria and Iran are two of the world’s last remaining nation states who have state run central banks and gold reserves which fall outside of the world’s private central banking syndicate.
