Ron Paul

Infowars.com

May 3, 2014

It looks like the civil war in Ukraine is getting much worse. Western
Ukraine right now is being urged on by its Western supporters, meaning
its NATO supporters, the European Union, the United States, and the
International Monetary Fund (IMF). Western Ukraine has moved to take
back control of the cities in Eastern Ukraine that have been taken over
by supporters of Russia.

Of course, it’s said in the major media that Russia has started all
of this trouble, and so all this has to be done. The truth is, the coup
of several weeks ago to overthrow the elected leader Viktor Yanokovych
was stirred up by the same group: NATO, the European Union, the US, and
the IMF.

Since this whole mess was started, we’ve been very much involved,
spending more than $5 billion to control Ukraine. And this intervention
continues. But the current fighting looks like a serious escalation that
may get out of control, even though it’s in the interest on both sides,
the West as well as Russia, not to escalate. There have been a lot of
threats and intimidation on sanctions and economic penalties, which very
well could get out of control.

Added recently has been a promise from the IMF of $17 billion to
Ukraine under a specific condition: get rid of the control of these
Eastern cities by Russian supporters. This is a condition that has been
placed on them, so it’s not a surprise that seemingly all of a sudden we
are seeing more aggressive activity by the Western Ukrainians to try to
conquer these cities.

Ironically, the IMF doesn’t seem to have much common sense in trying
to help the Ukrainian people, because in order to get this $17 billion
not only must they fight and control the East, they also have to raise
taxes and increase oil prices — which will not help the people. This is
generally the case when there are sanctions placed on a country, or when
war breaks out: the people suffer and the special interests seem to
thrive.

Also, I think this is certainly a shift from pretending that the
Western Ukrainians are on the defensive because they’ve now instituted a
military draft. In all seriousness, if a country is defending itself,
then the people rally and you don’t have to use conscription to get
fighters.

I maintain that it’s a mess over there, and it’s getting worse. We’re
contributing to the problems. It would be much better for the
Ukrainians, for the Europeans, for the Russians, and for the Americans,
for us to just stay out and follow the principles of a
non-interventionist foreign policy. Don’t send the money and don’t send
them weapons. Don’t get involved and don’t pick sides. Then I think the
Ukrainian people might be able to settle this on their own, and a lot
better than when there’s outside interference.

      some truth about Ukraine

    • MIAMI CITIZEN

      Those are very wise words from Ron Paul, DO NOT INTERFERE in the affairs of other countries unless there is abuse to humanity, let them work out their problems on their own.

      Ukraine is in the mess they are because of us, we started it all.

      We need to look at Rand Paul when searching for a Pres. and V.Pres. in 2016, he has many of his fathers ideals and believes.

      All these Failures in Foreign Policy and the Lives lost in the process of Trying to Keep the US Dollar the Trade currency for the world is whats going on and when the BRICS Formally Introduce the WTO to the NEW Trade Currency Reset will be the event that Hyper inflates the USA Economy and causes Obama to have to Nationalize the Free Markets is what is Really going on …..
      The Domestic Violence that the Local , State and Federal law enforcement agencies are Preparing for will Be due to this Hyper Inflationary event on peoples Lives will trigger the rebellion as this transition gets underway , and there is Nothing anyone can do to stop it , because we are to dependent on a Majority of Foreign Supply and when this Currency reset takes place the flow of Imports into the USA will shrink due to foreign suppliers taking less dollars for the settlement of the trade for these durables , and this less supply will hyper inflate the existing supply in the States , this in turn will give Obama the Economic Crisis to Nationalize the Free markets , this is the goal of the Environmentalists who Control the US Government !!!!!
      Here is what Ukraine is all about !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      This will Bring the Stock market Collapse , The Last American Alamo

      Everything we see going on with economic dysfunctional governments is due to the Environmentalists pressure to change consumer driven market systems over to a Government controlled system to limit Consumption thus reducing the effects of Green House Gas emissions that they think is the cause of climate change ,

      The proxy war of IMF JEW International Bankers and Russia using their pawns.
      The original troubles being stirred up by the West in the Ukraine to overthrow the president that was aligned with Russia. Hell yes Russia is going to push back and hard but and maybe the Jews do want WWIII and population reduction, refer to the Georgia Guide Stones.

      There are many reasons why the U.S. and NATO are stirring a hornets nest in the Ukraine . One of the main reasons is to destabilize and isolate Russia . Why . Russia was and still is rebounding financially and in a military sense as well . The leadership of Russia including Mr Putin realizes this and is using their heads by forming strong trade and economic bonds with other nations like China, Iran and India . Just to name a few . Good going Mr Putin .

      Ron Paul should have been elected in the first place! We wouldn’t be in the mess we you in now!!!!!!!!!!! Rand Paul has my vote as did Ron Paul!

    • MARY

      I agree with you MIAMI CITIZEN, except for the last part. I WAS considering Rand Paul, but when he gave his endorsement of McConnell, ( A RINO IF THERE EVER WAS ONE ) and he is not tough enough on immigration either, sadly I had to change my mind about him. I am now looking at Cruz, Lee, Carson, and a few others. BUT NO BUSH or CLINTON !!! and NO Democrat for sure

    • AnotherFella

      Ukraine was getting economically stronger every year up to 2014 but now it’s getting worse :/ Just because of this whole media-circus investors now think twice about investing in Ukranian businesses etc. :( Next up another economically weak(er) country will join the EU, I bet you.

    • captbob

      Ron is big on the Ukraine problem but I never hear him say any thing about the 62,000 Homeless American Veterans that are cold and hungry on the streets of the US. Don’t he care????
