Robles: Thank
you, sir. I'd like to get your opinion on the human rights situation in
Ukraine and your opinion overall on where that situation has headed and
where you think it is headed, please?
Boyle:
It doesn't look good at all, John. Instead of the Obama Administration
trying to sit down with president Putin and negotiate a way out of this
in good faith, all the signs are that the Obama Administration is going
to try to quote “cement” unquote, as Nuland put it, their neo-nazi gang
of thugs in Kiev into power.
Today already rumors has it
that the OSCE (The Organization for Security and Cooperation in
Europe), they seem to be on board with this project. NATO just came out
with a statement, they seem to be on board with this project, the EU
under Barroso came out with an appalling statement supporting this
saying, that Nuland's neoNazi thugs in Kiev 'reflect European values'.
It is simply astounding.
You
saw Secretary of State John Kerry yesterday on Meeting the Press
completely out of control, he does not sound to be rational at all.
He
is flying over there to Kiev to cement these neo-nazi thugs in power.
UK Foreign Secretary Hague was over there this weekend for the same
purpose.
Obviously if people were serious about solving
this problem, they would be flying over the Moscow and meeting with
president Putin and Foreign Minister Lavrov. Instead they are telling
president Putin that he should be negotiating with their gang of
neo-nazi thugs in Kiev.
So this notion you are seeing –they are trying to find an off-ramp for Putin, it is absurd that is propaganda.
Again,
they are trying to consolidate into power this gang of neo-nazi thugs
who launched a coup d'état against the democratically elected government
in Ukraine.
Seems pretty clear what is going on and
I'm sorry to say that: so far President Putin seems to be restrained, he
is just sitting there, in Crimea so far he hasn't attacked any of the
Ukrainian troops that are surrounded.
That is good, let
them just sit there, they are not going anywhere. And let's try to keep
this thing managed, short of armed conflict between Russian and
Ukrainian troops...
