In Anbetracht der Geschichte der US-Außenpolitik und CIA ist mir das wirklich schleierhaft. Warum sollte die Ukraine etwas anderes sein?

Zu Breedlove gibt es noch einen englischen Spiegelartikel, der sehr viel interessanter ist, als der in der deutschen Fassung.
Mal einige Passagen:
The Minsk cease-fire wasn't holding perfectly, but it was holding.
"What is clear," Breedlove said, "is that right now, it is not getting better. It is getting worse every day."
[...]
Once again, the German government, supported by intelligence gathered by the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), Germany's foreign intelligence agency, did not share the view of NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR).
[...]
As such, he is playing directly into the hands of the hardliners in the US Congress and in NATO.
[...]
Sources in the Chancellery have referred to Breedlove's comments as "dangerous propaganda."
[...]
But Breedlove hasn't been the only source of friction.
First and foremost among them is Victoria Nuland, [...] She and others would like to see Washington deliver arms to Ukraine [...]
[...]
Sources in Washington say that Breedlove's bellicose comments are first cleared with the White House and the Pentagon. The general, they say, has the role of the "super hawk," whose role is that of increasing the pressure on America's more reserved trans-Atlantic partners.
[...]
it is the tone of Breedlove's announcements that makes Berlin uneasy. False claims and exaggerated accounts, warned a top German official during a recent meeting on Ukraine, have put NATO -- and by extension, the entire West -- in danger of losing its credibility.
[...]
Just one day earlier, US Lieutenant General Ben Hodges had announced "direct Russian military intervention."
Senior officials in Berlin immediately asked the BND for an assessment, but the intelligence agency's satellite images showed just a few armored vehicles.
[...]
At the beginning of the crisis, General Breedlove announced that the Russians had assembled 40,000 troops on the Ukrainian border and warned that an invasion could take place at any moment. [...] But intelligence officials from NATO member states had already excluded the possibility of a Russian invasion. They believed that neither the composition nor the equipment of the troops was consistent with an imminent invasion.
[...]
On Nov. 12, during a visit to Sofia, Bulgaria, Breedlove reported that "we have seen columns of Russian equipment -- primarily Russian tanks, Russian artillery, Russian air defense systems and Russian combat troops -- entering into Ukraine." It was, he noted, "the same thing that OSCE is reporting." But the OSCE had only observed military convoys within eastern Ukraine.
Lohnt sich ganz zu lesen:
http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/germany-concerned-about-aggressive-nato-stance-on-ukraine-a-1022193.htmlNichts als Propaganda von Breedlove. Nuland bekommt auch ihr Fett weg, wegen ihrem Fuck the EU und ihr jüngstes "wir können die Europäer bekämpfen"- Kommentar, natürlich nur "rhetorisch" gemeint, ich bin mir da bei der aggressiven Haltung aber nicht so sicher.
Auch noch interessant.
Mykola Asarov, who was prime minister under toppled Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, recalls that Nuland basically blackmailed Yanukovych in order to prevent greater bloodshed in Kiev during the Maidan protests. "No violence against the protesters or you'll fall," Nuland told him according to Asarov.
