UN ambassador Nikki Haley condemns Russian aggression in Ukraine
ny post ^ | 2/2/2017 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 02/04/2017 6:57:26 AM PST by KOZ.

The new US ambassador to the United Nations used her inaugural statement to the international body to condemn Russian aggression in Ukraine.

“I consider it unfortunate that the occasion of my first appearance is one in which I must condemn the aggressive actions of Russia,” Haley said.

“It is unfortunate because it is a replay of too many instances over many years in which United States representatives have had to do that.”

She singled out Russia’s aggression in Ukraine.

The remarks may help silence critics of President Trump who have feared he’s too in sync with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“This escalation of violence must stop,” Haley warned.

You’re posting your crap Russian propaganda to the wrong audience...one that can actually do some research:

http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/07/25/flashback-clintons-loved-russia-enough-sell-uranium/

“exceeded $145 million”

Either way, the thread is about Haley’s comments, do you have anything to say about that, or did you just come on here to spew post neo-soviet propaganda?

Russia has just had a problem with Belarus;

Russia is a dump where hospitals are falling apart, people are drinking anti-freeze and bath oil lotion, it’s the crapper though I’m sure the Putin supporters will tell us how great it is.

I heard it’s the epitome of world civilization, and Putin is our one and only Savior.

Maybe you didn’t get the memo? LOL

Lol...are you suggesting that the role of the nine agency Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States in the Uranium One deal is Russian propaganda?

Do you work for CNN?

Oh my is right. I've been following the battle between Putin and Ukraine, as Putin tries to control Ukraine, for what? about 18 years?

You need to go back and read everything that has been posted here on Free Republic about Ukraine and Putin during that time period. After you've done that, and you've learned something, ping me.

Russia wants war??

Russia is war, it’s the only thing you know.

Your friends start wars all over the world, then complain when people defend themselves.

Either way, this thread about Haley’s comments, do you have anything to say about it?

Obama didn't give any weapons to Ukraine and he gave very little of anything else. No offense, but your Ukrainian model friend sounds brainwashed.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-10-04/ukraine-president-says-obama-approved-sending-new-weapons

https://www.rt.com/usa/254757-house-committee-lethal-aid-ukraine/

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/04/17/hagel-says-us-to-send-non-lethal-military-aid-to-ukraine.html

It's hard to really know what we're sending them... officially or behind the scenes or through third parties. My friend did say she was in the eastern part of the country one time when the Russians were supposedly shelling a town... but everyone there could see that the shells were coming from the west and not from Russia to the east.

None of this would’ve happened if the Ukraine had not attacked Russia, much like Georgia attacked Russia before!

You’re not fooling anyone. Nice try though.

Do you have a comment about the article? Or are you just trying to deflect the argument to a ‘Ukraine deserves to be attacked’ conversation?

Yeah, that’s the ticket . . . your friend could see the Ukrainian markings on the shells, I suppose?

The corrupt failed state of Ukraine is a major hub for black market weapons and has been since the fall of the Soviet Union.

Most of military gear the US sends to Ukraine gets captured or ‘disappears’ and then sold on the black market.

Only that Nikki Haley sounds exactly like Victoria Nuland whose internecine actions on Ukraine have been pretty well exposed

and can only be seen as serving global economic interests Exxon, Chevron and Monsanto among others

And that Donald Trump selected a Secretary of State who is a former Exxon CEO which I now find deeply unsettling

And that is further troublesome to think that a smart but inexperienced President could be led into policies continuing a confrontation between two nuclear powers both of whose people have been propagandize regarding Ukraine and the motives of the other

and the ultimate winners of a war springing from this conflict would be none of the nations or people sacrificed , but only global economic powers

And that since you do not want to confuse your facts and opinions by watching the video, we have no further useful,discussion

So, despite press accounts of us sending money and "non-lethal" aid to Ukraine, and eyewitness reports of which direction shells were coming from, you still believe "the Russians did it" line we put out. Do you also believe the Russians hacked our election?

I'm under no illusion that Russians are good guys either, but I do think the US (probably McCain and others) have been quietly running an anti-Russia campaign for a while now.

Balderdash
Watching the 78 minute dispassionate psychological assessment of the US US Russian-Ukrainian situation and further insights into the US worldview of military projection has been most enlightening
Puts UKraine into a worldview perspective
I’ve already suggested I won’t further discuss it with someone who hasn’t watched it

If a Russian member of parliament visited the US to encourage cheering BLM crowds to overthrow the US government, and violent protesters then attacked and killed 18 police

If the head of the Russian FSB made a clandestine trip to the US under a false name to coordinate with the Russian ambassador and selected contacts of a major political party just before national elections called after a democratically elected president fled for his life

If wki leaks showed that the Russians had identified the next POTUS as “ their man inside” in 2006

If the son of the Russian VP had major business interests in the US and the Russian VP personally came here to hold secret meetings with our ruling politicians

Would we say the Russians interfered with our elections?

You and I both know that there are shells flying in both directions. Your friend might know from which direction they were coming, but how would she know their intended target?

And please don't become that Kremlin mouthpiece here who went from "those are not Russians," to "you can't prove those are Russians," to "c'mon, everybody knew those were Russians" without batting an eyelash in the space of ten days.

LOL. So the Ukrainians were just standing around with their thumbs up their rear ends, loving themselves some Vlad Putin, until the feeble John McCain came along and told them to revolt?

LOL.

As I said, please "do not comment" until you've gone back 18 years and read every Putin/Ukraine thread.
