Ukraine on Fire Page #10

controlled by the russia-backed separatists inside of ukraine

without a doubt

the country in which territory it happened

is responsible for this horrible tragedy

the malaysian boeing wasn't the first plane

to play a big part in russian-american relations

on september 1st 1983

korean airlines flight 007 new york seoul

was shot down by a soviet interceptor aircraft over territory of USSR in the sea of japan

reagan:
there is absolutely no justification

either legal or moral for what the soviets did

the tragedy of the korean boeing

was considered a perfect excuse

to demonstrate the nato military power

within dangerous proximity to USSR borders

on november 2nd 1983

nato launched massive drills

working on the scenario of response

to an escalation causing nuclear war

followed by placing a pershing-2 ballistic missile in europe

what reagan did

could cause a paranoic overreaction of the soviets

and start war

a recently declassified us intelligence report shows that

for the first time since the cuban missile crisis

the world got close to nuclear war

just like in 1983

the catastrophe with the malaysian aircraft

is leverage to push the enemy

a new wave of sanctions fell upon russia immediately after that

the us is declaring new sanctions against russian economy

almost a year and 3 months later

the dutch safety council published the report

man on a stage:
ladies and gentlemen

the mh17 crash was caused

by the explosion of a 9H314M missile

launched from an air defense missile system

that exploded outside of the aircraft's cockpit

the report didn't blame any specific group or person

it estimated a very wide area of 300 square kilometers

as the zone where the missile was fired

at the same time

the russian missile systems manufacturing company a-a

conducted its own investigation

ian novikov:
the results of our experiment

completely disprove the conclusions

of the dutch commission about the missile type

and the launch place

during the experiment

they blew up an entire airliner cockpit with a missile

and came to the conclusion

that the malaysian plane was shot down

by an old 9M38M1 missile

not used any more by russia

but still used by 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 cause the rise of interest on this incident

but the malaysian boeing tragedy

had already fulfilled its geopolitical role

and so was soon forgotten

the goal was achieved

after the third wave of sanctions against russia

the tension between the two countries skyrocketed

and the question now becomes

are we truly witnessing cold war II

and if so what are the chances of surviving it

in 1947 the bulletin of atomic scientists

launched the doomsday clock project

it represents the time-line to the annihilation of life

in 1953 at the peak of the cold war

it was closest to midnight

as the superpowers were creating massive nuclear arsenals

this is the story of ever expanding nuclear weapons

as the world began to grasp the insane danger of nuclear warfare

and took measures to control the arms race

the situation was constantly getting better

in 1991 the clock was its furthest ever

17 minutes to midnight

that time of hope was short-lived

as the world was becoming more and more unstable

in 2015 the bulletin of atomic scientists moved the clock

to 3 minutes to midnight

today uncertain climate change

the modernization of nuclear weapons

and huge arsenals

present undeniable threat

to the existence of humanity

the us and russia

launched massive nuclear weapons upgrade programs

which violates the existing agreements on reduction of nuclear potential

the clock is now just 3 minutes to midnight

because international leaders are failing to perform their most important duty

ensuring and preserving the health and vitality of human civilization

perry:
the role of an american journalist

is to inform the american people the best you can

in what you were able to find out

and to not be afraid of any kind of attacks that come with that

nuland:
the vast majority

of those who participated in maidan

were peaceful protesters

uhh if you had a chance to see the pictures

many of us participated

i was there

there were mothers, grandmothers, veterans

congressman:
before you proceed

i'd like to ask you

were there neo nazi groups involved?

nuland:
there were, as i said

almost every color of ukrainian represented there

including not the best of them

congressman:
so the answer is yes

perry:
and that's the patriotic role of a democratic journalist

is to give the public as much information as possible

so they can operate their role of responsible citizen

and to control the government

or at least to be aware of what is happening

we truly believe that there is only one way

to protect yourself from this game of manipulation

awareness

knowledge is power

the ability to recognize the red flags

and save your country from being dragged in all this chaos and mayhem

this relates to each and everyone of us

because war today does not only come with tanks and bombs

it comes with the manipulative mass media

the journalism that lies

and hides and twists facts

that are more focused on making the news

rather than on reporting them

zaharchenko:
i want to believe that

there will be peace in ukraine

there will be law and order

there will be democracy

i wish the best for ukraine

yanukovich:
i pray to god that the people in ukraine reunite

for all the hate that now exists to disappear

i wish that there will be peace in ukraine

we understand that the world has changed

you can't keep everything frozen in a state of cold war

you need to look to the future

many times in our film

we have shown the spiral of history

while we often repeat our mistakes

it also always gives us another chance

and hope
