Leaked Audio: US State Dept. Revealed As Mastermind Behind Ukraine Unrest (Video)
via ZeroHedge
A leaked recording of a telephone conversation allegedly between US assistant secretary of state Victoria Nuland and the US envoy to the Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt discussing who should be in Ukraine’s next government has, according to The FT, threatened to fuel east-west tensions over the troubled nation’s future. In apparent frustration with the EU – which has failed to join the US in threatening sanctions against Ukraine’s leaders if they violently crush the protests – the voice resembling Ms Nuland at one point exclaims “Fuck the EU”.
As the two US diplomats decide whether “Klitsch” or “Yats” should be ‘in’ or ‘out’, listeners will be reminded (uncomfortably) that the governments of Ukraine and Russia previously alleged that the protests are being funded and orchestrated by the US. Needless to say, as the FT adds, “[this clip] could also bolster a propaganda campaign by the governments of Ukraine and Russia alleging that the protests that erupted against Ukraine’s President Viktor Yanukovich last November are being funded and orchestrated by the US.” Its release ahead of the day the Sochi Olympics start is also somewhat disturbing.
The controversial alleged Nuland “Fuck The EU” clip… (the discussion of the EU and UN involvement begins around 2:50)
And for comparison’s sake – Nuland last month delivering a statement on the situation in Ukraine…
We all knew this but now we know this. The Ukrainian uprising is a farce and we are backing several fascist nationalist white supremacists knowingly. Who says we aren’t still at war with Russia. We are trying to encircle them and China and I think this makes it very obvious. Who is the aggressor again?
