roic defense of sevastopol lasted almost a year and took hundreds of thousands of lives. therefore the naval base in crimea has a legacy of historical pride for the russian black sea fleet as well as being of huge strategic importance. those of us alive back then remember when there were soviet missiles put into cuba how frightened americans were and how angry and how we almost went to a nuclear confrontation over having weapons of that kind of destruction placed that close to the united states. just so if the united states considers cuba to be in its backyard. then crimea lays at russia's doorstep. the consequences of a u.s. seizure of the face or a nato base which in general. but almost a sum up

know the same so someone. up in the back of the in atlanta still a good little illusion when you pay for a bison you get on the net and you're. concerned about the expansion of nato nato has expanded into 13 countries up to the borders of russia 13 countries at the time what was going up at the time of waiting the ship way not. in early spring of 2014 eastern ukraine was also buzzing with protests against the new authorities in kiev this region with a population close to russia geographically and culturally feared that the ultra right leanings of the newly formed government would bring meal nationalism to their
4:33 am
lands. and they have their reasons. the status of the russian language in ukraine has been a stumbling block for many years implementing russian as a 2nd state language was one of the main campaign promises of president putin to fulfill in 2012 the government passed a law making it the 2nd official language in the southern and eastern parts of ukraine the areas where the russian speaking population makes up a majority ukrainian nationalist groups initiated massive protests opposing the law and observing viewer might see some familiar faces there but. one of our last. on february 23rd 2014 the very next day after the regime change the new government voted for an a no meant of the official status of the russian language and even though later this decision was vetoed by the acting. president alexander turchynov still sent
4:34 am
a message and a powerful one this alarmed the russian speaking cities of eastern ukraine and people took to the streets to show their disagreement was in response. conducted their own demonstrations when the 2 parties would meet it was always tense and eventually it led to tragedy. one person died and over 50 people were wounded in clashes during a pro russian march protesting the new government in kiev. on april 6th the crimean scenario began repeating eastern ukraine where protesters seized government buildings. and the next day the full 7 day proclaimed don't yet see people's republic kiev replied by announcing the beginning of an anti-terrorist operation in eastern ukraine. by that
4:35 am
time the international media was screaming about a russian invasion in ukraine russia could now be on the verge of invading ukraine but strong words state only in the media the ukrainian authorities never announced a war like situation why i.m.f. cannot give money to countries engaged in ongoing war that's roboto shango. when you go to your show will go to too much money was already invested in ukraine to stop halfway had invested over $5000000000.00 to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic she trains. mccarthy writes in a city you know well it will slowly new democracy just go to. the with. some of them but obviously the funds had to keep coming and the conflict had to keep going. good. more and more bloody and deadly.

earnest. as parties from both sides were using more sophisticated and lethal weapons. as well didn't. want. us. to deal. cooperatively to. the world seemed too busy welcoming this new democracy in kiev. to notice what was being done as it spread its wings over the country. many in southern ukraine had been viewing the revolution with concern. and an anti mind on movement formed in the city of odessa in early january 2014 the
4:37 am
protesters set up their camp in front of the trade union house a building which would soon become a monument to a massacre of its own it's difficult to overestimate the importance of odessa it is strategically located on the black sea and it's ukraine's largest seaport it's not surprising that ukraine's new authorities were watching the situation unfolding there with growing alarm. more and more of odessa as people were joining the anti my don movement at the same time as events in eastern ukraine were heating up. the new ukrainian government didn't have the power to wage war on too many fronts if odessa were to join the growing uprising in the eastern regions it would seriously complicate the situation. this rebellion had to be extinguished immediately and at any cost and that cost was high. on may 2nd 2014 soccer
4:38 am
fans flocked to the center of odessa city for the ukrainian championship match surprisingly a great number of these fans who descended into odessa just the night before also turned out to be fighters from the my don self-defense units along with members of radical organizations from all parts of ukraine that these. books. these families asked armed and shouting nationalist mottos began disturbances in the center of the city as they marched to the anti my don tent encampments where they attacked the end time mind on protesters sought shelter in the trade union house but it was a track mind on supporters started throwing molotov cocktails into the building until it was engulfed in flames. people burned to death inside or trying to escape jumped from when this. fire station was less than a mile away it took almost half an hour for firefighters to arrive when they
4:39 am
finally did the damage had been done. but here's an intriguing fact just a few days before those dreadful events a messenger from my don andriy pair o. b. made a visit to odessa it's an interesting coincidence that some of the people he met with in odessa were seen at the scene that fateful day. but not everyone was mourning on the popular political talk show schuster live the news about the people burned alive in odessa was welcomed with a long round of applause when he. put it. on its facebook page the right sector announced the events of may 2nd a proud moment in national history an official investigation into this sad event
4:40 am
has been going on now for nearly 2 years and it's yet to reach a conclusion but it seems the experts and all the information they needed from the very beginning which i. really cute. it looks like a desa really is a very important piece of real estate as it was on earth with a very special new governor appointed on may 30th of 2015. really an old friend of the united states and born and raised in ukraine's neighboring country georgia down there in georgia a quick look at his biography gives one an understanding that he's been groomed for a special mission to be a defense i do want to go to. mr saakashvili received a u.s. state department scholarship and he worked for
4:41 am
a new york law firm which represented the organization come on or a group that appeared earlier when we learned about the color revolutions we're dealing with democratic blood blister aleutian this is the revolution of roses and this is me kyle saakashvili with camara busy overthrowing the legitimately elected president eduard shevardnadze. but i. was feeling. soon after the rose revolution foley georgia announced its intentions to join nato and plant fresh nato military bases in the fertile soil right on russia's border never. never never will give any piece of our territory saakashvili is mission was accomplished at least with his friends and nato the georgian populace wasn't quite as happy in 2007 they took to the streets to voice discontent and mr
4:42 am
saakashvili responded with force. people discontent. last parliamentary elections and the opposition took control. the president. decided not to wait for the results of the president's election and fled the country in october 2013.

4:45 am
. we dare to ask. in 2014 saakashvili refused summons to appear in court as a witness in several criminal cases later that same year he was accused of misuse of power and embezzle. saakashvili wound up in the us and soon his friends in washington found him a new assignment. mikail actively supported my down and very soon was rewarded with
4:46 am
a high position in the new ukrainian government 1st as the president's counselor and then as the governor of odessa the day before taking this position he renounced his citizenship to georgia the country of the birth and became a ukrainian citizen. and the 2nd asked others gordon would have done in the way exhorted. gordon would have done in the way exhorting that road. as they say the battle is worth the blood both literally and figuratively. now do i not somebody affordable by the us out. last thought on my. chest but i have. geoffrey pyatt the u.s. ambassador to ukraine paid a visit to saakashvili just a month after he took office in odessa it is law is the all last administration is
4:47 am
delivering results and you raise your voice to see a steady flow of embassy in washington visitors coming here the meeting was fruitful and jeffrey generous. no matter how well saakashvili is job goes it looks like he shouldn't be worried about his own finances on his facebook page he posted an official document showing that the new governor of odessa gets a pretty penny from washington almost $200000.00 a year for comparison the governor of maine gets $70000.00 a year. so if odessa became a new u.s. state it would be at the top of the list mr saakashvili should feel right at home in his newly adopted country he is best of friends with fellow color revolutionary leader viktor yuschenko who is the godfather of his son. and then now that i'm on the school bus and the lesson of lucia but insufficient at
4:48 am
the post the bully walk us kind of being it's just a d.c. at them the if someone is going to. even though there's a double issues of social. when used to the but the least of those 3 is if i did it with you but i just stand on the. void that business do a little bit of that of this on most of us don't you and your buddy others to put it in the in the special political bonus that we were able to contain such. a war once launched doesn't choose its victims we are just learning at this hour that malaysian airlines has now confirmed that it has lost contact with one of its planes plane was indeed shot down by a missile while flying at a high altitude over eastern ukraine near the russian border 298 revised number of souls on board all feared dead it was a murder it was
4:49 am
a crime there's been this odd nonchalance about pursuing the answers there was a report a very limited report put out a few months after the event but since then they said the next report will be on the 1st anniversary of the event but you deal with a criminal investigation before becomes a cold case so there's been this curious element of why is there not greater pressure from both the media and the the western governments to answer these questions but even without any answers the fingers were pointed immediately that's not an axe. that is happening because a russian support evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by a surface to air missile that was launched from an area that is controlled by russian backed separatists inside of ukraine usually. a national mission is to. keep. the malaysian boeing wasn't the 1st plane to play
4:50 am
a significant part in american russian relationships on september 1st 1983 korean airlines flight from new york to seoul via anchorage was shot down by a soviet interceptor aircraft over the territory of the u.s.s.r. in the sea of japan there was absolutely no justification i don't legal or moral for what the soviets did the tragedy of the korean bowing was considered a perfect occasion to demonstrate the nato military power within dangerous proximity to the soviets on november 2nd 1983 nato launched able archer attend a command post exercise simulating a conflict escalation culminating in a nuclear attack it was followed by placing pershing 2 nuclear missiles in europe. what reagan didn't take into consideration was the paranoid overreaction of the soviets. a recently declassified us intelligence report shows
4:51 am
that for the 1st time since the cuban missile crisis the world was close to nuclear war. just like in 1983 the malaysian boeing crash was leveraged against the enemy. a new wave of sanctions hit russia mediately after the tragedy. the united states is imposing new sanctions in key sectors of the russian economy. year and 3 months later the dutch safety board published a report that is itself a flight m.h. 70 crashed because of the. i have 3 well for and or i have the today just outside of the airplane avesta left side of the cockpit the report didn't blame any specific group or person and estimated a very wide area of 320 kilometers as a zone from which the missiles fired at the same time the russian producer of boog
4:52 am
missiles day conducted its own independent investigation. that they speeded me up the fullest. lou of the delegates i mean if you like yet the nist is up a school during the experiment they blew up a retired airliner with a buku missile and came to the conclusion that the malaysian plane was brought down by the older type of missiles not used by russia anymore but still in the possession of ukraine the company claims that the missile was launched from the territory controlled by the ukrainian military. one would expect that these controversial results would again stir up public interest in the investigation but the tragedy of malaysian flight m h 17 at the ready played its role in the big geopolitical game therefore it was soon forgotten the goal was achieved after the 3rd wave of sanctions hit russia the tensions between the 2 countries skyrocketed so the question presents itself are we
