OscailtClashes in Ukraine signal escalation of US-EU interventionFascist elements are among the protesters in Kiev. They are armed and are shooting at police. They are using the cover of protesters to advance a fascist coup.
Violent clashes between police and protesters yesterday in Kiev mark an escalation of the campaign by the pro-Western opposition to oust Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. The opposition, backed by the United States and German governments, aims to install a far-right regime committed to integrating Ukraine within the European Union and implementing its demands for austerity measures.
Bloody street-fighting erupted when opposition protesters marched on parliament, demanding it pass a planned law to decrease Yanukovych’s powers. When the vote went against them, the opposition supporters attacked the headquarters of the ruling Party of the Regions. Clashes between police and protesters erupted and spread throughout the city.

<br />
Most of these recent protests have largely involved the white privileged middle and upper middle class and do not involve the poor from the slums.<br />
<br />
From RT:<br />
<em>Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has accused President Obama of promoting the ongoing protests in the country, and of backing members of the opposition alleged to be behind violence.<br />
<br />
In a communique, the Latin American leader demanded that the US explain its motives in “financing, promoting and defending members of the opposition that promote violence against our country.”<br />
<br />
Maduro went on to denounce declarations made by President Obama regarding the situation in Venezuela, saying that they presented a “gross interference in internal affairs.” <br />

Russia doesn't recognise neo-nazi coup in Ukraine or their administration.http://www.indymedia.ie/article/104557#comment2986372014-02-24T22:39:10+00:00TThe Russia government has announced it doesn't recognise those who seized power ...The Russia government has announced it doesn't recognise those who seized power in the Ukrainian neo-nazi coup d'etat backed by the USA and EU. The backers of the coup are keen to quickly rush the entry of Ukraine into the EU and most importantly to get them to join NATO. This has long been part of the USA plan to undermine Russia as the long term goal is to smash the Russian state up into at least 60 different separate states and thereby removing one of the last challengers to USA corporate capitalism.<br />
<br />
However the plan for Ukraine probably cannot happen quick enough and it is hard to see how it will manage to force a country where the industrial heartland in the eastern half has strong cultural and economic ties with Russia. What may happen is that they will engage with the EU but a little while down the road, where their industries are destroyed and they become a cheap labour camp of Europe and are straddled with unsustainable debt on top of their existing unsustainable debt, then the average persons idealism about the riches of the EU will be shattered. <br />
<br />
It hasn't helped of course that every government since Ukraine independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 has been utterly corrupt. But corruption is not easily removed and certainly now removed by a fascist coup.<br />
<br />
What we are more likely to see now in Ukraine is a bloody wave of revenge by fascists thugs seizing power throughout the country. Here is a quote from one of these people promoted by top level officials in Washington and the EU. It is one of the leaders from western Ukraine ultra-nationalist Right Sector Aleksandr Muzychko and he has has pledged to fight against “Jews and Russians until I die.” Asserting the Right Sector’s authority over the situation, Muzychko declared that now that the democratically elected government has been overthrown, “there will be order and discipline” or “Right Sector squads will shoot the bastards on the spot.”<br />
<br />
So why is the entire Western press cheering these thugs on ?<br />

<br />
<em>The Kremlin carried out large-scale military exercises along its border with Ukraine yesterday, amid rising tensions with the Western-backed Ukrainian regime that seized power in Saturday’s fascist-led putsch in Kiev.<br />
<br />
Announcing the exercises, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said: “In accordance with an order by the president of the Russian Federation, the forces of the western military district were put on alert at 2pm today.”<br />
<br />
The military alert was billed as a “surprise comprehensive interoperability test” of armed forces in Russia’s western and central military districts and its air force command. Some 150,000 soldiers, 90 warplanes, 120 attack helicopters, 880 tanks, and 90 ships reportedly participated.<br />

Mr Yanukovych said he was "not overthrown", but was compelled to leave Ukraine after threats to his life.<br />
<br />
He said the current parliament was "illegitimate", and described those who drove him from power as "young neo-fascist thugs" representing only a minority of Ukrainians.<br />
