a quick look at his biography gives one an understanding that he's been groomed for a special mission to be decided on. mr saakashvili received a u.s. state department scholarship and he worked for 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 a democratic bloodless revolution 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 blossom foley georgia announced its intentions to join nato and plant fresh nato military bases in the fertile soil right on russia's border never ever will give our freedom and independence never ever will give any

the most prosperous can be deceived within the zeros on their work to view houses were. prison was located and the only. access to the story for investigators hell they uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. the great of nor. for. crying for justice on r.t. . 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 investment. saakashvili wound up in the u.s. and soon his friends in washington found him a new assignment. mikail actively supported my down and very soon was rewarded with

delivering results and you raise your voice to see a steady flow of embassy in washington visitors coming here the meeting was fruitful and geoffrey 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 another mother school bus and

a lesson in lucia but insufficient at the post but you 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. when used in the but the least of those 3 is if i did it with you but i just ended up with. this boy that business do a little bit of that of this on most of us don't you and your buddy others are the butt of c.n.n. and the special political bone is just a little too contains. 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 offline 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
11:50 pm
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. 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. to put up a national distaste for. the malaysian boeing wasn't the 1st plane to play

a significant part in american russian relationships on september 1st 1983 korean airlines flight 7 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 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
11:52 pm
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 platts m.h. 70 crashed because often. i have 3 well for and or i have the today it's our society airplane the best the 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

missiles day conducted its own independent investigation. that they speeded me up the fullest. lou of the delegates i mean if you like it the nist is up a school during the experiment they blew up a retired airliner with a bouquet 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 already 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 truly witnessing the beginning of cold war $2.00 and if so what are the chances to
