Donbass, East Ukraine On Its Way To Becoming Own Country By Default

After having fallen prey to Western machinations of destabilization and civil war, it is apparent that there may now be irreparable differences between the East and West portions of Ukraine. With the East of Ukraine more in line with Russia and the West more in line with Western Europe, all compounded by years of civil war and outright persecution and atrocities committed by the fascist Ukrainian forces, the DPR and LPR are showing signs of going their separate ways and breaking away from West Ukraine in a more final fashion.

When Crimea voted to reunite with Russia after a long separation, many suspected the DPR and LPR would follow suit. In fact, there was a movement within both republics to do the same. However, geopolitical and diplomatic concerns on the part of Russia prevented such a vote from ever solidifying a “reunification” with Russia.

A vote to reunify with Russia in the same fashion as Crimea would have no doubt caused a diplomatic emergency between Russia and the warmongering West. Indeed, it may have even caused military confrontation. However, after time passed and the impasse between East and West Ukraine has become more pronounced, it appears that East Ukraine is making moves toward becoming its own country even without formal recognition. East Ukraine – DPR and LPR (Donbass)– may very well become their own nation by default and by natural progression of events.

Eastern Ukraine (Donbass) has, for at least a year, begun working on setting up the framework of a governmental system, complete with a political framework, the seizing of banks, and the operation of various industries. Greater centralized military structure, as necessitated by the current conflict, has also become a reality.

Is The US Already Arming Kiev With Lethal Weapons?

As the Obama administration “mulls” the possibility of arming the Ukrainian government’s fascist forces with “lethal” weapons, recent reports have revealed that Kiev is intentionally targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Eastern Ukraine.

Other reports also suggest that the debate over whether or not to provide lethal assistance to the Ukrainian government was settled to the affirmative some time ago.

According to the New York Times, the NATO military commander, Gen. Philip M. Breedlove, is leading the charge in support of the US move to further arm the Kiev junta with lethal weapons.

Capt. Gregory L. Hicks, spokesman of the Navy, told the New York Times that “General Breedlove has repeatedly stated that he supports the pursuit of a diplomatic solution as well as considering practical means of support to the government of Ukraine in its struggle against Russian-backed separatists.”

The New York Times also reports that Secretary of State Skull and Bones John Kerry as well as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin E. Dempsey are “open for discussions” regarding the possibility of arming the Ukrainian military.

Susan Rice, US National Security Advisor, is also reportedly ready to “entertain” the idea of providing lethal assistance to Kiev.

In addition, as RT reports,

Backing the idea of arming Kiev forces, a new independent report by eight former senior American officials urges Washington to approve for the next three years a $3 billion budget to provide defensive arms and equipment, including anti-armor missiles, drones, armored vehicles, and radars.
