Footprints of the US State Department

http://watchingamerica.com/News/232821/footprints-of-us-state-department/

In light of the obscene remark about the European Union made by Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland, an interesting telephone conversation among American diplomats — a discussion to form the new government in sovereign Ukraine — went unnoticed.

Not surprisingly, the Ukrainian opposition, which usually vigorously comments on any message from overseas "democrats" is shamefully silent this time. The Ukrainian “Trinity” is displeased to admit that Washington bets on oppositionists ... like on horses or cockroaches.

Then again, nowadays, no one has doubts that Washington rudely and unceremoniously intervenes in the political and economic life of our country. Washington’s goal is to create a technical government, which under oppressive terms, will take another International Monetary Fund loan and sign the European Union Association and Free Trade Agreements.

Note that the State Department is trying to implement this scenario in a country with a legally elected president, acting parliament, and even acting government. Apparently, the opinion of representatives of the Ukrainian authorities, just as the opinion of regular Ukrainian people, will not be taken into consideration.

American-style democracy does not give this option. Washington has its own methods: the technology of controlled chaos, expansionism and the export of color revolutions**** ... Ukraine has already fully experienced its actions. Provocation and escalation of aggression have become ordinary. The State Department’s footprints can be seen practically everywhere, with no cuts or even scratches.
