Kosovo model for Ukraine dismemberment: Analyst

The United States is planning to implement the Kosovo dismemberment model in Ukraine, following Crimea’s secession, an analyst writes in a column for the Press TV website.

Gordon Duff was referring to the 1999 NATO’s 11-week bombing of Serbia, which resulted in massive ethnic cleansing and finally led to the secession of Kosovo dominated by ethnic Albanians.

“Kosovo is the model for the dismemberment of the Ukraine. For the West … Kosovo was a business opportunity. Serbs were easy targets, a weak government in Belgrade unwilling to resist ethnic cleansing,” Duff wrote.
He said the “Republic of Kosovo” established in 2008 is today “a terrorist state, a headquarters for a criminal empire specializing in drug and human trafficking and financial crime.”

“Western action in overthrowing the government of Ukraine can have no other purpose than to provoke ethnic conflicts intended to spread into Russia herself,” wrote Duff.
The analyst said the West toppled “an elected but incompetent government, a corrupt government” in Ukraine and installed “terrorists.”

The Ukrainian government has adopted an emergency military buildup and called up reservists as part of preparations for a war, in the aftermath of Crimea’s secession from Ukraine.

Ukraine’s Parliament agreed to earmark USD 600 million from the country’s budget for the purchase of weapons, reparation of military hardware and improvement of training over the coming three months.

Moreover, Ukraine’s 40,000 reservists have been called up. Some of the reservists are to be deployed in the newly established National Guard in the coming days and weeks.

“Delusion and power, mission creep knows no bounds and is never confined by logic, reason or sanity,” wrote Duff.
