    Unprecedented would be Russia's considerable population loss during the 1990's and 2000's.

    There are presently close to two million Ukrainian pseudo-refugees in Poland alone. In the city of Wroclaw they allegedly make around 10% of the population, and that is one of the largest cities in Poland.

    If the current Ukraine experiences some population loss, but if they eventually take over a large chunk of Poland, then it is not such a bad deal for them. That is apparently the aim here.

    I think the article tries to make look Ukraine weaker than it is. It shows only part of the story.

    The truth is that it is Poland that is Ukraine's vassal state not the other way around

    Majority of Ukraine population that left isn't in Poland. Add to that, these are a mixture of political and mostly economical refugees. This is not some grand strategy of Ukraine, because as evident of what is happening in the Rada, they do not have a strategy on replacing toilet paper in the stalls of the washroom. That is if they can even obtain toilet paper.

    What that bull-shit article fails to say is:


    1) Ethnic Ukrainians are very influential in Poland. They are not some push around immigrants like some attempt to portray them as. They can murder you and literally get away with it; it is the German-Ukrainian mafia known as the "Civic Platform" which enjoys very heavy support from the EU leadership. They are heavily present in Poland's so-called "justice" system.

    2) It is Poland that pays for the higher education of 25 000 Ukrainian students. Polish students do not get paid for any education in Ukraine.

    3) They bring their kids to Poland, and even if they are illegally the Polish government pays them money for these kids as if these were real citizens.

    4) Polish government also pays lots of money to the Ukrainian government, Poland does not get anything in exchange.

    5) Erection of illegal Ukrainian nationalist monuments in Poland, totally tolerated by the consecutive Polish governments, while the legal monument to the ethnic Polish victims of the UPA and SS from the Huta Pieniacka recently was destroyed.

    6) Polish military has also dispatched various equipment to its Ukrainian counterpart, of course Poland also got nothing in exchange.



    So who do you think is the real vassal here?

    I think the articles is very misleading.

    Well, that is up to the Polish people to try and get rid of these stupid social programs that benefit Ukrainians but not the locals.

    It is one of those face saving measures in hopes to get intelligent works from Ukraine into Poland when we all know that doesn't end up as the case.

    Without wanting to go o/t too much, Poland is not a vassal of Ukraine, it is, like the rest of Europe and Ukraine itself, a US vassal. I doubt very much that the Ukrainians now in Poland went there under any instruction from the Government, they are primarily self motivated economic migrants.

    The big problem this is causing to Ukraine is that it is its working age population that is leaving (heading east as well as west), that is the tax payers, with the young and the old, dependant on the State, left behind. This is not a sustainable business plan for a country.

    The UN Office for Refugees states that 586,000 Ukrainians living in the conflict zone in the Donbass do not receive pensions and social benefits that they are eligible for.

    "586 thousand citizens of Ukraine living in the conflict zone have not received pensions and social benefits since the beginning of last year. The UNHCR urges Ukrainian authorities to ensure the payments to all citizens, regardless of where they live, "- said in a statement on the UN website.

    Earlier, the OSCE reported of 59 killed civilians in the Donbas since early 2017.

    Same partially with Iran too. Although, most are knockoff of Scud missiles but with multiple adjustments and tech.

    I would say that Ukraine sold most of its knowledge that was build for them by the Russian government. But hey, all of this will be swept under the carpet anyway.

    Probably US and NATO will be using Ukraine to test Russian weapons capabilities ,
    versus NATO ones. As evil they are , thinking how they think , they will be fools to
    not take advantage ,that Russia supply modern weapons to Donetsk and volunteers also there.
    So i think they will be testing how Russia respond to lethal weapons , like for example Javelin missiles.. or Lazer weapons and all that stuff.. Russia and donetsk should keep the NATO forces
    as far as possible from the front line.. With high range mortars that can't be detected by satellite.
    But also high range artillery. and throwing mines.. so creating a no go zone.. that they could use to engage in direct fire with Donetsk forces. Raining lots of mortars and artillery over their heads is the way to push those NATO soldiers testing Russia response away.

    Very little chance of any advanced weapons (don't include the Javelin in this catagory) being passed over to UA to use, worth too much money in a 'captured by enemy' opportunity like those mortar radars. If operated by US/NATO there is too much risk of counter battery fire.

    Can't see any chance of any weapon 'testing'. That is called WW3.

    http://ren.tv/novosti/2017-08-28/ssha-eto-ne-po-silam-pushkov-otvetil-na-izolyaciyu-rossii-volknera

    Essentially, Volkner claimed that Russia is freezing the situation in east Ukraine and that this will cause US to freeze all diplomatic relations with Russia and that it will Isolate Russia. In this case, Pushkov says that is unlikely. But my take of it is that Volkner can only make noise cause he is a nobody with no real part in the Minsk agreements. All he is doing is pandering to the Ukies but the good thing is, that with the US creating a mess with the whole situation, will give Russia a free hand to participate and assist NAF however way they want, and I think many in the US realize this and also realize that this will screw things up for them. But only a few have that memo, not Volkner.

    Here come the lawyers goldmine.



    Ukraine and the Netherlands will soon sign a memorandum on the exchange of information on the case of Boeing 777 flight MH17 shot down in 2014, which will help Kyiv in its lawsuit against Russia, Deputy Foreign Minister Olena Zerkal said.

    Just in, VVP has said Russia will put a resolution before UNSC for UN peace keepers along the demarcation line between Novorossia and Ukraine. This may well scotch any plans US has for an offensive this fall and 'defensive weapons' to Kiev.

    IMHO this is another masterful move by VVP in that he stops any attempts by DC to arm the orcs and if US veto's the resolution, which they will, it will be another scandal and it will officially acknowledge that US is behind this war.

    From reading his order and his statement he wants to force the orcs to pull back as per Minsk and the blue helmets are to 'protect OSCE in performance of their duties'. This may, possibly, maybe, stop the continuous bombardments by the orcs. There will be too many news types on the lines for the orcs to pull their usual shit unless all the news types are in their pockets, which is distinctly possible. We'll see.
