If Marco Rubio, John McCain, and Ted Cruz have their way, the VSN will have even more high-tech American gadgets in their hands. Remember the war in South Ossetia brought to you by the Bushies? Well, the Russians had an intelligence windfall when they captured Gori and the Americans scampered off, leaving all their computers and equipment. The same is happening now… hmm… the same bunch of idiots that supported the aggression in South Ossetia support the aggression in Novorossiya. Why didn’t George W Bush and Condoleezza Rice hang as war criminals? Good question, isn’t it?

Junta member A V Turdchinov announced the start of repressions in Kharkov, placing the city under martial law, saying, “In connection with the attack that took place in Kharkov, during which, according to preliminary data, one policeman died and five more police and civilians suffered injuries, we activated the highest level of terror alert (sic) and initiated an anti-terrorist operation”. Earlier, the SBU has reported the arrest of four people suspected of organising terrorist attacks in Kharkov. Intelligence agencies immediately arrested these people after the explosion near the Palace of Sports. Besides this, some senior junta officials made rash statements, such as the “Minister of Foreign Affairs” alleging that the terakt proved that the LNR and DNR are terrorist entities.

It’s clear even to the slow learners that the junta is full of lying sacks of shit. It’s clear that the terakt today was a junta provocation… they didn’t mind killing their own. Note well who supports them in the US Congress… Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, John McCain, and all the “Pro-Life” GOP members of the House… none dare call it HYPOCRISY… oh, yes… Turdchinov is a pal of Pat Robertson, he hung out at “Liberty ‘University’”, he’s a notorious apostate sectarian, and he ran the torture programme in the Ukraine for the Bushies. Shitbirds of a feather do flock together! Uniate and schismatical thugs will roam the city… with the blessing of F A Denisenko and S Yu Shevchuk. The blood of innocents will be on their heads and on the heads of their clergy (for the Uniate and schismatical clergy have to support the hierarchy’s support of the junta’s enormities… SLAVA UKRAINA!)
