It overwhelmed the lies and all other possible titles for this post today:
“US Ambassador Samantha Power warned Russia that any further intervention in Ukraine, including under the pretense of delivering humanitarian aid, “would be completely unacceptable and deeply alarming, and it would be viewed as an invasion of Ukraine.”

Yazidi Christian crisis is disgusting genocide according to John Kerry, but he takes the Israeli insults and does nothing for Gaza. Speaks out about Syrian shelling and bombing, says nothing of U.S.-sponsored Ukraine barbarity.
"New Ukrainian rebel leader gives Kremlin distance; Seeks only moral support of Putin" by Yuras Karmanau | Associated Press August 09, 2014
DONETSK, Ukraine — Many in the rebel ranks decry what they call Russia’s betrayal of their cause, but most vow to keep on fighting even as Ukrainian government troops close in on the main rebel stronghold, the eastern city of Donetsk.
In an ominous sign that the fighting might escalate further, the new leader of the insurgency has boasted of hundreds of new recruits and says many rocket launchers and tanks have been seized from a Ukrainian unit.
It's an "insurgency" now!
This truly has become useless.
Alexander Zakharchenko, a native of mostly Russian-speaking eastern Ukraine, took over late Thursday as prime minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, which has declared independence from the central government in Kiev.
He succeeded Alexander Borodai, a Moscow political consultant who reportedly played a role in Russia’s annexation of Crimea in March before moving into eastern Ukraine. Borodai has worked for a nationalist tycoon with alleged connections to the Kremlin.
Except they didn't annex it. Crimea voted for secession and to join Russia, and the Russians accepted the offer.
Thanks for hitting the hat-trick with lies, AP. Thanks.
Ukraine’s eastern regions have strong ties to Russia, and much of its population was alarmed when a new pro-Western government came to power in Kiev with support from Ukrainian nationalists. The change of government was the result of months of street protests that ousted the pro-Moscow president in February.
That shallow and superficial piece of conventional narrative as background bullshit for an illegal junta installed by U.S-fomented coup, ugh!
In another sign that the rebellion might be losing steam, several other rebel leaders with links to Russia have quietly left the region in the past few weeks.
Okay, at least "we" are winning!!!
The other thing I would like to note is that for weeks we have been seeing and hearing Russians in there, more Russians in there, it's Russia, it's Russia!
Now we get this piece of CONTRADICTORY CRAP to sell the WE ARE WINNING the WARS PROPAGANDA!
This SUCKS, readers!!!!
The Russian commanders “are fleeing like rats,” said Andrei, a 27-year-old rebel in Donetsk. “We had hoped for help from Moscow, we had expected Russian troops, but Russia betrayed us,” Andrei said. “Many fighters are beginning to think about their future and also are escaping to Russia.”
Oleg, a 34-year-old member of a different rebel battalion, said his unit is running out of food, clothes, and medicine.
“But we are ready to fight to the end and to die,” he said. “Russia left us here to die and we are ready. They simply used us and abandoned us.”
Thus this post could have been title "Putin abandons Ukraine."
Of course, they have been calling for a humanitarian corridor to provide aid, but that instantly gets shot down by the U.S. because that's aggression under the cover of altruism, and THAT'S OUR GIG!

The Russian Defense Ministry said late Friday it has wrapped up military exercises in southern Russia that the United States had decried as a provocative step. The exercises involving fighter jets and bombers were held this week in the Astrakhan region, about 600 miles from Donetsk.
Yeah, ONLY the EUSraeli Empire is allowed to conduct war game exercises or fly surveillance missions around the world as well as drop drone missiles on anyone this criminal government wishes. Who do you think you are, you, you.... Russians!!!!
Speaking Friday at a UN Security Council meeting, US Ambassador Samantha Power warned Russia that any further intervention in Ukraine, including under the pretense of delivering humanitarian aid, “would be completely unacceptable and deeply alarming, and it would be viewed as an invasion of Ukraine.”
She is a word I won't be writing here on the blog, but the printed paper is a keeper. What a....
The Russian government has denied Western accusations of backing the Ukrainian mutiny with weapons and soldiers. It also has dismissed Western suspicions that it gave the rebels the surface-to-air missiles used to shoot down a Malaysia Airlines passenger jet over rebel-held territory on July 17, killing all 298 people on board. The rebels have publicly denied shooting down the plane, but one rebel leader told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity that the rebels were involved in the downing.
Yeah, right, AP. From which anonymous rebel did you annex that comment?
Ukrainian troops routed the insurgents from smaller towns earlier this month and have now encircled Donetsk.
Yeah, no actual on the ground slaughter reported and not even a picture of a shelled hospital in my printed paper today.
