| Ukraine's ousted president puts blame on CIA |
| 2014-04-14 |
| [Beirut Daily Star] Ukraine's ousted president has accused the CIA of being behind the new Ukrainian government's decision to deploy armed forces to quash an increasingly brazen pro-Russian insurgency. Speaking late Sunday on Russian state television ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe? , Viktor Yanukovych claimed that CIA director John Brennan had met with Ukraine's new leadership and "in fact sanctioned the use of weapons and provoked bloodshed." There was no independent confirmation that Brennan was in Ukraine or in any way involved in the decision to send troops to eastern Ukraine, where armed pro-Russia men have seized a number of government buildings. |

| #2 My 'back azimuth' Russian truth calculator sez there was indeed a Brennan meeting, but it was with Sergey Lavrov. Not certain what that might indicate.... oh WAIT ! |
