Obama Flaunts U.S. Overthrow of Ukraine Government; Lavrov Responds
Barack Obama stated matter-of-factly to CNN‘s Fareed Zakaria in a Sunday interview that the United States had installed Arseniy Yatsenyuk—Victoria Nuland’s infamous “Yats”—in power in Ukraine in February 2014 (“…Yanukovych then fleeing after we’d brokered a deal to transition power in Ukraine”). An astounding, if not surprising admission from a U.S. President.
That admission came within a blustering, lying, threatening rant against Russian President Vladimir Putin, which ominously made reference to possible activation of NATO’s Article 5 collective defense clause against Russia, in discussing U.S. military deployment into NATO states which border on Russia, and complaining that “dissent,” protesting thousands, has been “quelled.”
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answer to Obama’s tirade, delivered in a press conference in Beijing following meetings with his counterparts of the two Asian giants, India and China, was featured on Russian national TV tonight, punctuated with an image and quotations from the Atlantic Council war plan released today in Washington, as well as images of Obama talking to CNN.
Lavrov was asked about Obama’s statement that the United States “facilitated the change in regime in Ukraine.” Lavrov answered:
“First, if somebody needed confirmation that the U.S.A. directly, from the very beginning (of the events in Ukraine) was involved in a coup against the government, for which Obama used the neutral term ‘power transition,’ it has now been stated.
“Secondly, I would like to note that the rhetoric in this interview shows Washington’s intention to continue unconditional support for the actions of those currently in power in Kiev, who by all the evidence have adopted a policy of suppressing the conflict exclusively by force.”
Lavrov added that Russia is convinced—
He again called for “Western colleagues” to stop supporting every action by the Kiev regime.
