Cyborgs ask for immediate help in Airport terminals
Though Ukrainian forces seem to have captured territory beside airport, the fighting inside the terminals seems to be critical.
Cyborgs are asking for immediate reinforcements via British journalist
Oliver Carroll, who has worked for publications including The Independent, Politico, Newsweek, Foreign Policy, New Republic, said the situation in the Donetsk airport is terrible. “I just talked to Slavik, a Ukrainian soldier of the 80th Brigade, which is in the new terminal of Donetsk airport.” ‘The situation is very, very difficult; we need reinforcements. No one comes. Many, many are missing. Many wounded. I cannot say how many, I cannot say who is alive and who is dead. Also there are many bodies. We need the opportunity to evacuate them.
‘Yesterday there was an attempt to get the wounded out, but it failed. Our wounded are still here. A boy just died who who lost an arm. The “DNR” almost controls the new terminal. They are firing with tanks for three days. And we have no artillery support as much as we need it. We see “DNR” terrorists everywhere around us,” Oliver quoted the soldier on his Twitter- feed.

As promised, here’s the news you are probably aware of by now – the combat has moved into Donetsk.

On Russia’s Propaganda
I’m a little cautious regarding Tim Snyder, analysis. I think he’s bias toward the famine being solely Stalin’s fault, and toward the Nazis being worse than the Bolsheviks.
Nevertheless, the end of this talk (from 46:30) is a great break down of Russian propaganda.
Curt & Adriy’s plan for the near future
We are going to publish an article a week in Ukrainian, on how to achieve liberty and prosperity for Ukraine by creative competition as a means of reforming the bureaucracy.
I will try to stay on message of course. Some of the messages:
The value to Ukraine of long term war over the eastern regions.
Why the oligarchical clans are not a material long term problem, but a potentially beneficial aristocracy to compete against the state.
How Europe can fund Ukraine indirectly without expanding corruption – covering pensions.
How to solve the problem of title to property.
How to construct courts of lustration, legal reform, and commercial credit and contract, and providing young sheriffs for them – not police.
How to slowly increase consumer credit, and worldwide investment in Ukraine.
How to create a higher trust society and the economic rewards of doing so.
How not to repeat Europe’s suicidal social errors and to preserve the sanctity of the traditional family.
The potential for an Eastern European border alliance preserving the traditional family.
The end of the postwar consensus on borders and the necessity of nationalism and nuclear weapons.
Why are Ukrainians poor? The commons: Truth, trust, contract, credit, responsibility, law, and corruption.
You are poor if and only if you do not police one another’s responsibility for physical, institutional and normative commons. It is your responsibility and your cost to bear, not someone else’s.
Donetsk Airport cyborg: Putin intentionally destroys Kadyrov’s men by sending them to Donbas
Donetsk Airport cyborg: Putin intentionally destroys Kadyrov’s men by sending them to Donbas
145341012015/01/14 • News
On the evening and night before January 14, celebrated in Ukraine as the old New Year, the Donetsk airport had been turned into hell. Attempts of the Chechen fighters in allegiance to Kadyrov. the Moscow-appointed head of Chechen republic, to take the airport heroically defended by Ukrainian forces dubbed Cyborgs at any cost crashed against the Ukrainian character – the approaches to the airport are littered with corpses of pro-Russian forces. Kadyrov’s men, recently having sworn allegiance to Putin, are now begging the Cyborgs to let them live.
Journalists of the publication Uman Evening News were able get to the Donetsk airport and interviewed the Ukrainian defenders, Inforesist reports. Euromaidan Press has translated the report.
– How are you? In one piece? Hanging in there?
– The attacks were repelled. The separatists weren’t able to manage anything.
– Are there many victims? We’re hearing that Kadyrov’s men stormed you and the airport has been taken…
–There are wounded among us. But just a few. Death toll – one of us, about ten to fifteen among them, including Kadyrov’s men. Look, here are two standing before us on their knees, covered in slobber, crying, begging to be left alive. They say they were “forced.” It’s disgusting to listen to. People without pride. These are not people of dignity, but some sort of vile, disgusting creatures.
– Novorossia news [a news outlet of the Russian-backed separatists – ed] says that the airport had been taken.
– If you look at how much land is now under their corpses, you could say they took a lot of ground. All the approaches are inundated with “meat.”
– Social networks are going hysterical that you didn’t get help from our artillery, that they didn’t fire much [the cyborgs in the airport have no heavy artillery, but are reinforced by troops on Ukrainian-held territory in the vicinities of Donetsk].
– They indeed didn’t fire much. But they were very accurate, so that a lot of firing wasn’t necessary. Our forces destroyed the enemy firing points with cannons and grads. Apparently our guys fired at the separatists from a Pion – there was so much buzzing that the whole land shook. Eariler, we used to constantly adjust their firing, shells would rain down from the sky in dozens – the firing squad would either overshoot or undershoot. Now we are exactly on target.
– What do Kadyrov’s men say? Why are they here?
– They say they just arrived, that they did not know where they were going. They serve in the police and have sworn allegiance to Kadyrov and Putin. They were woken at night and sent to the “counter-terrorist operation.” Only when they arrived in Donetsk did they realize they were in Ukraine.
– How do you manage to hit the terrorists so hard?
– It seems that they have been drained off as cannon fodder – brought here for slaughter. Nobody worries about them, they have no commanders. If the commanders had any sense, they would have left the airport alone.
– Do you think Putin destroys them intentionally?
– We are beginning to get the impression that they have been sent here for exactly that purpose. Because, apparently, too many Central Asians have come to Russia. Maybe they see a danger that soon there will be no Russians. So Putin sends them here and gets rid of any “garbage.” And Motorola, Givi, and Kadyrov help him in this …
– Do you have an order to retreat?
– No! There is an order not to give a single meter of our land.

Russians Haven’t Consolidated as a Nation Because Russian State Became an Empire First, St. Petersburg Historian Says
“The so-called ‘unification of Russian lands around Moscow’ was in fact an uninterrupted civil war and it became the field of battle on which were tried many of the principles of the imperial policy of the future.”
From Moscow’s perspective, “the imperial conquests were a continuation of the conquest of sovereign Russian principalities, of those natural state formations on the basis of which broke apart the archaic Kievan Rus and which in principle had a tendency toward a stable national existence as is shown in the history of Tver, Novgorod and Pskov.”
Third, Anisimov continues, “there is the tradition of the medieval Russian ideology with its characteristic ideas about a certain special role for Russia and Russians in world history – ‘Moscow is the third Rome,’ the exceptional religious unity of Orthodoxy, the ‘right’ of Russia to ‘the inheritance’ of Byzantium, ” ideas which have continued to this day albeit in different forms.
And fourth, there were those features which reflected the international and geopolitical notions accepted more broadly in the world of “’the rules of the imperial game,’” which posited the division of the world among great powers and which Russia could not fail to view itself as entitled to a part of.
Like I keep saying — Russia is a state looking for a culture. Ukraine, a culture looking for a state.

Thank you, Granny, but for God’s sake. Get your damn finger off the trigger!
Cyborgs send greetings from Donetsk Airport
Oh, thank God! And Glory to these Heroes!
“Thank you all very much! The night was very quiet. Support and reinforcements have arrived. It’s difficult, but we’re less and less inclined to put up with this situation. Yesterday, Russian troops and the terrorists suffered a major defeat right along the demarcation line. It was hard.
Yuriy Kasyanov was right when he wrote that we were not ready to repel the attack. But, we did. We methodically put the idiots in their right place.
We made many mistakes and miscalculations. This might be a chance for us to learn and draw certain conclusions.”
