One American Dissent from US-EU Position on Russia-Ukraine
A Voice of America article portrays US Secretary of State John Kerry with his two fists clenched as if he were ready to fight, as he testified before the US Congress today. http://www.voanews.com/content/merkel-russia-risks-massive-damage-in-ukraine-crisis/1870218.html
If that is what he’s really asking for, then perhaps Russia will oblige the theatrical puppet. The US has zero credibility as a military presence in the Ukraine region, and the EU has less. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/02/us-ukraine-crisis-usa-idUSBREA210MJ20140302
But go ahead, children, act out your silly gestures. http://edition.cnn.com/2014/03/06/business/europe-has-power-over-russia/
At HamiltonFinanceServices.com (HFS)all analysts fully agree that if the US and EU actually take a “serious series of steps” then so will China and Russia, and contrary to US and EU hopes, the US and EU have the most to loose. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/04/ukraine-crisis-shots-fired-crimea-airbase
The lead HFS analyst says: True to his shallow ‘displomacy’ of gesture and empty form, Kerry told the US Congress in its hearing today that he hopes to avoid sanctions by talking with the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov tomorrow in Russia. Balderdash (a polite way to parallel Rush Limbaugh’s vulgar “Barbara Streisand” expression)!
HFS analysts consensually elaborate pertinent international legal problems with the EU and US positions, as follows: In the various news reports of Kerry’s testimony, no mention ever arises concerning how the duly elected president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, was ousted by the Ukraine parliament when no constitutional provisions in Ukraine existed for such a process at the time. There were clearly articulated impeachment procedures on the Ukrainian books. However, only treason or other crime constituted grounds for impeachment, and that process was never undertaken by the head of the Ukrainian parliament, its now acting “president” Oleksandr Turchynov. So Turchynov committed treason against the Ukraine, yet the US and its pet the EU repeat the chorus that he is the Ukraine president. Russia essentially has correctly stated that Yanukovych remains the elected Ukrainian president unless and until impeachment occurs during his term or a new election is duly called in the election cycle. The reason neither the US nor EU mention this significant legal issue is because all they want is to cloud the issue with finger pointing, fist clenching, and figurative frothing at their mouths. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_Ukraine
