General Wesley Clark: Briefing from Ukraine’s Front Lines

Ukraine's Front Lines

The engagement was Monday, March 30, 2015, at the Atlantic Council offices, 1030 15th St NW 12th floor, for a conversation with General Clark, former NATO Allied Commander, who just returned from Ukraine where he met with Ukrainian military commanders and President Petro Poroshenko. Clark wrote two books, Waging Modern War and Winning Modern Wars.

Despite the Minsk II ceasefire agreement, Russia continues to supply weapons, equipment and troops to support separatists in Ukraine’s east. In February, the key city of Debaltseve fell to Russian separatists. The port city of Mariupol is the likely next target and tensions spread further to the northeastern city of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city. As Ukraine prepares for another assault from Russian-backed separatists, what steps should the United States and NATO take to help Ukraine withstand Russian aggression?

"The German chancellor and the Ukrainian president phoned Russian President to ask him to exert his influence on the separatists to implement the cease-fire." Further, the withdrawal of heavy weapons must begin now, as agreed in Minsk. Once again the US "forget" that they blame Russia for a crisis that the US itself triggered, reversing a coup, just a year ago the elected President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych." Pousilin Dennis, spokesman for the rebels.

5/4/15- A Ukrainian soldier and a civilian were killed yesterday Saturday as on Sunday in eastern Ukraine, where an escalation of hostilities despite the ceasefire agreement.

Note from The Ship: 

He said she said, as a human-being on this planet we're all tired of war and borders. It's always been a numbers game for countries GDP, the wealth of a nation keeps people at bay who live inside those borders.  I mean you can't go anywhere without papers and/or an ID.  Now just think about that for a moment, the true wealth of any country is its people who work, your taxes fund this merry go round, are you having fun as the working class?  When you die your wealth will go to other family members if you will it and many times that is taxed.  The money you earn is taxed about four times through your lifetime and if you don't will your monies it will go to the state and/or country which you live.  So who is really gaining here?  That's right Mate it's not you, many countries would rather you just work, shut up and get in line a conditioning which has been going on for centuries.  Just look at the audience during The Wheel of Fortune game when the wheel lands on $5000.00, the oohs and aahs. 

We all have been brained washed and the working class is being killed in Ukraine and/or any battle for that matter, not the Generals, not the presidents, not the heads of state, not the Kings and Queens these positions are preserved and regular people are just tools for advancement on the Man-Made Board of Monopoly.  We need to change this for the war mongers need to go with all their puppets who play Wheel of Fortune.  We need to get off the midway and sink this ideology (idiot thinking) by not participating and loyal disobedience to the system.
