I missed where he addressed the plight of many Russian speaking pensioners of Eastern Ukraine, who are not being given their pensions by Kiev.
Maybe Russia can supply it since they are the ones waging a proxy war with the Ukraine.

Why should Russia meddle in the internal affairs of Ukraine? These Russian speaking retirees are citizens of Ukraine and have been promised pensions. Why do Ukrainian speaking retirees get their pensions, but if you speak Russian and live in the east, Kiev will not give you your pension? Doesn’t seem fair to me? Seems like blatant discrimination against Russian speaking Ukrainians.
 
The US and the IMF/George Soros funded rebels destabilized and overthrew the Ukrainian Govt. in order to establish a pro western puppet government in its place. The fact that they grossly underestimated Putin’s response has led to this situation. If you do not believe me, go to Patrick J. Buchanan’s webpage. He has in depth, fact filled articles explaining the entirety of this disaster, who the key players are, and why.
And as to the drum beaters in our govco who seem intent on a new cold (hot) war with Russia, how about y’all be on point of the first battalion deployed. Or your Children.

Is it right for the US to destabilize and overthrow a democratically elected government? And it turns out that the US backed coup is alleged to be corrupt having embezzled at least 3.5 billion Hr with Prime Minister Arseniy Yatenyuk having knowledge of this embezzlement scheme.

It’s really unfortunate to read your analysis, when 150 people have been killed by landmines in the illegal invasion. About 50 children. How people can rationalize this is beyond me. Countless others maimed. And this is not referring to the casualties, fatalities of civilians as a whole.

I will take NATO’s word, not the word of someone who had some authority during the Katyr-Yurt bombing in Chechnya.

This woman, Nuland is still in office in the state department, as to the joke coup rumor that is used via the debaucery seeing innocents killed in Ukraine. If there was any truth to such a rumor where protesters were on the streets for months and months, I doubt she would still have her authority. NATO’s website addresses the propaganda asserting a coup occurred.

Russia has fought two wars versus Chechnya, got involved in a conflict in Georgia too. Clear to see a pattern here.
 
Source for this claim?
The Yahoo story which would be the most credible source has this:
Fuel supplies, including those for the overstretched emergency services, are exhausted and food is running short as most shops except for a few bakeries and butchers have closed as deliveries have been halted.
Pensions have not been paid over the past month and people are struggling to receive their salaries while cash machines have run dry.
Journalists have struggled to enter the city as the worsening fighting has turned once-pleasant tree-lined boulevards into deserted no-mans land, while tens of thousands of residents are thought to have fled.

All this says is that in a war-torn area, there is a problem getting basic services. Is that surprising?

This is hardly proving that the Rebels or Russia became active because pensioners in Ukraine were not being paid as a motivation to attack. That doesn’t even follow a time-line.
 
Chechens were cleansing the region of Christians, murdering, raping and even enslaving non-Chechens. Georgia invaded South Ossetia and the conflict spilled over into Georgia as conflicts often do.
 
One of those Chechen wars had the pretense of having an invasion because apartment buildings were blown up in cities in Russia; a pretense some question at the least.
 
The links asserting Russian Rebels acted because Russian Pensioners were not being paid and were suffering discrimination does not seem to hold up under scrutiny:

news.antiwar.com/2014/11/05/citing-election-ukraine-to-halt-pension-payments-to-easterners/
In retaliation for the weekend election in the breakaway eastern oblasts of Donetsk and Luhansk, Ukrainian Premier Arseniy Yatsenyuk has announced the government is going to withhold financial payments from easterners, including pensions from retirees and local government salaries.
Yatsenyuk insisted that the pensions would be resumed only if those elected in the eastern votes unconditionally surrendered themselves and their territory back to central government rule.
This dated, November, 2014, well into the war cites the area in question broke away. So this makes sense. You wouldn’t be funding an area that claims to be autonomous and furthermore, no mention of Russians is made.

This hardly fits the premise.

NY Times says the same thing. nytimes.com/2014/11/06/world/europe/ukraine-to-freeze-payments-in-separatist-areas.html?_r=1

Does this not show at least, this situation should be closely scrutinized when some statement is made and now, apparently, seems way off.

At the least, away from the morality of this issue, it seems a reason given for the invasion was that Russian citizens were not being paid pensions when this is well after the conflict began.
