Poroshenko is like Lewinsky, only faster: Ruslan Kotsaba about the attempt to arrest Igor Guzhva

The attempt to arrest opposition journalist Igor Guzhva is an intimidation of the few remaining adequate media outlets in Ukraine. The duration of the negotiations between Poroshenko and Trump can only be compared with the meeting between Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton. The result of the trip to the USA - the scheme with Donetsk coal “Rotterdam plus” is changing to “Pennsylvania minus”. By the fall, Ukraine will have elections not only for the Rada and the President, but also for local councils.

About this, to a Kremlin agent from the banned PolitNavigator Valentina Filippov, said the “Kremlin agent” from the other side of the curb Ruslan Kotsaba.

Valentin Filippov: Hello, Ruslan. I'm interested in your opinion on Guzhva's arrest. I just can’t understand why such difficulties? Why throw some huge sum somewhere, rouse a huge number of police officers in the middle of the night, go somewhere, break down a door, involve some paper-scribbling lawyers who come up with some kind of accusation. Isn’t it easier to come together, tie up a guy, take him away and say: “It’s okay to run into Poroshenko,” go to prison, you’ll get 15 years.

And that's all.

And that would be fine.

Look how much taxpayer money would be freed up. How many parasites could be sent to the ATO? Why such complexity in such a simple situation?                         

Ruslan Kotsaba: You understand that this is to intimidate other adequate journalists who can still afford dissent and some kind of journalistic standards. When can you allow yourself to criticize the authorities?

Yes. The government is rapidly moving towards dictatorship. And we understand that dictatorship provides for the absence of freedom of speech. That is, as in my case, it is significant to throw him in prison.

But with Guzhva, I don’t think they can do that. He was preparing for this, he understood that he could be set up. And therefore, I don’t think they did the whole setup cleanly. Moreover, here you are being sarcastic, saying why are these times? I’ll tell you, in the times when there was still the KGB, the legal successor of which is the SBU, during the times of the KGB of the late Vyacheslav Chernovol (I’m not talking about his son, he’s sick, it’s impossible, he’s struggling with a diagnosis) Vyacheslav Chernovol, too, when they couldn’t catch him politics, they attempted to rape him.

Let's say Stepan Khmaru, since he was a dental technician, was some kind of little gold, as if he wanted to make gold crowns. And now, you understand...

Valentin Filippov: Well, I understand. The famous singer and performer Alexander Novikov was imprisoned for selling cassettes. Or for repairing tape recorders. They said that he was speculating in tape recorders.                         

Ruslan Kotsaba: See. Every prosecutor has a small amount of pocket money on his desk. Have a fun one evening somewhere. For a prosecutor, 10 thousand dollars is not a lot of money. We understand why people generally go to the prosecutor’s office. They are not there to seek the truth. Or free the innocent.

A person who went to work in the prosecutor's office deliberately knows that he is going to steal and rob people. But not with a pistol or machine gun, but he has a certificate as an employee of the prosecutor's office.

But, returning to the topic of Guzhva. I think, as in my case, this matter will crumble to smithereens.

But Poroshenko and his clique want to show all geopolitical players, Trump, Merkel, and Putin, that while they are busy with the problems of Qatar, Syria and ISIS, he can afford to bully a little.

These are links of the same chain. Five deputies filed to have their parliamentary immunity lifted. All from different factions. Now the editor of an opposition Internet resource. Country-USA. You can count on one hand how many resources are left that can afford to work in accordance with generally accepted standards of journalism. That is, present several points of view. And criticize the authorities.

As in my case, like many others, we understand that it is not so difficult to become an agent of Putin or an arm of the Kremlin. You just have to dare to criticize the authorities.

Valentin Filippov: I know. I have been a Kremlin agent for about 10 years. Therefore, I know.                         

Ruslan Kotsaba: I am also an agent of the Kremlin. And Guzhva, he is like that, not quite yet.

Valentin Filippov: Yes. I liked a number of examples. Qatar, Libya and Guzhva. Such are the problems of the powers that be.

What do you think, this arrest, hit-and-run, massacre occurred immediately after the end of Poroshenko’s visit to the United States. We know that Guzhva published materials that compromised the president of current Ukraine.

So what did Poroshenko hear in the USA? Did he hear a “fas” there, or was he kicked there? And he came back and took revenge.                         

Ruslan Kotsaba: I am a patriot of Ukraine, and I am very sorry to say this, but it turns out that the presidents are moving too quickly in the Oval Office. Much faster than Monica Lewinsky. Even if we calculate the timing of 5 minutes 25 seconds, that’s how long the standard exchange of pleasantries lasted, and compare whether there was a preliminary visit - the President of Panama came, or the President of Romania came. We understand that they not only gave the president between the legs, they didn’t just give him a slap, it’s called a repan... like that - shpok! “Listen, baby! We have no time for you!

Valentin Filippov:  Lychka.                         

Ruslan Kotsaba: Therefore, he understands that they will not give him money. Some kind of weapon that he asks for, lethal in order to protect his business interests, and the civil bloodshed in Donbass continued, is also no longer in sight. That’s why he thinks, I’ll try to breathe before the fall.

It's all unfortunate. But it's not fatal yet. Another bottom has been passed. And we fly further rapidly into the abyss. When Ukraine turns into Somalia in the center of Europe.

Valentin Filippov: And you yourself are not afraid that they compared the President of Ukraine with an intern who, when she sees the American President, inadvertently opens her mouth in surprise. And then he runs around complaining.

Aren't you afraid to continue being there? The prosecutor's appeal did not end very well. You may also be arrested. Close.           

Ruslan Kotsaba: No, why? There is no need for a sex therapist here. 5 minutes 25 seconds is a record. In the world there was no such disdainful attitude towards a country that until recently was the size of Germany or France. This shows that the Ukrainian government does not represent anything in geopolitical terms. We are, indeed, not a subject of geopolitics, but an object. Nobody wants to meet with us. And we understand that Trump wanted all these conversations to stop - about the alleged Russian trace, elections, hackers, and the like - this is such a small nod, they say, “I’ll meet your Poroshenko” ..... Nothing so unusual. 5 minutes 25 seconds.

And the wolves are safe, and the rams have not become any smarter.

It's too painful for me. I am a patriot of Ukraine. I physically feel how they hate the Ukrainian government. But this: “Son of a bitch, but our son of a bitch.”

Do you remember the psychosis that happened with Qatar?

Valentin Filippov: Yes.                         

Ruslan Kotsaba: Trump went to Saudi Arabia, back and forth. And a week later, Qatar again became the most democratic country. It was simply necessary to purchase American fighters for 12 billion.

Idem.

We changed Rotterdam-plus to Pennsylvania-minus. Coal.

Valentin Filippov:  Yes.                        

Ruslan Kotsaba: What a humiliation! To ram coal from America.

Valentin Filippov: No, well, I think that the US just got into our scheme. It will buy Donetsk coal from South Ossetia and supply it to Ukraine through Russia.                           

Ruslan Kotsaba: The USA is indeed a country for which there are no friends or enemies. Their interest is such that there is neither war nor peace in Ukraine. And Poroshenko is trying hard, his efforts are like those of a kitten. He pushes like a kitten when he has indigestion.

Poroshenko is trying to show that he is in control of the situation in Ukraine. Americans will be with anyone who can prove that “I am in control of this mess.” If it were Avakov or Senya Rabbit, they would be with him. Or Tymoshenko. They don't care. They understand that these are scorpions in one jar. Moreover, Scorpios, who have not changed for 25 years.

You understand, everyone understands, only during elections they forget that it is Poroshenko who is unique there, that he, starting with Medvedchuk’s SDPU(U), where he was a co-founder, then the Party of Regions, where he, together with Azarov, then Yanukovych was a simple governor, and he was the founder of the Party of Regions. Then another trough of power, this is “Neither Sobi, nor Ukraine”, this is NSNU (Our Ukraine). Now the name block.

Valentin Filippov: Is ZaEdu not him? There was such a block ZaEdu….                         

Ruslan Kotsaba: It seems to me that I’ll come, I don’t understand why, he wasn’t there. Need to search. You've given me a good idea for investigative journalism. Another time they arrest me, I’ll have time to dig around.

Valentin Filippov: For a United and Rich Ukraine….. For the Fuck….                        

Ruslan Kotsaba: Well, we can only laugh. Because just think about it... 5 minutes 25 seconds.

Valentin Filippov: We're longer.

Ruslan Kotsaba: We can’t afford this. It's a shame.

Valentin Filippov: Fine. Ruslan. We here on this side of the curb are worried about you. In fact, there are no curbs; there are adequate people and inappropriate ones.

Ruslan Kotsaba: No, well, we have PolitNavigator, an already banned site.

Valentin Filippov: Well, they haven't blocked it yet.

Ruslan Kotsaba: Some providers have already blocked. Just in case. The law doesn’t work yet, but they played it safe. News Front and PolitNavigator no longer open.

Valentin Filippov: And you know, in fact, after their statement, there were more visits.

Ruslan Kotsaba: We, Ukrainians, are made in such a way that the forbidden fruit is sweeter. I haven’t thought about this before, but the Ukrainian government does two things well. She does everything to change quickly. We see that there will be not only early presidential elections, but also parliamentary ones. Perhaps even with local elections.

“War Party” - you see what they do. They want to change the law. Change ATO to another military term, while they do not understand, they are mad, that on both sides of the demarcation line in every corner of Ukraine and LPR-DPR people want peace.

We understand that if we attack again, tens of thousands of people will be killed.

Valentin Filippov: I don't understand at all. It was good for them. There was this Ukraine. They stole and collected tribute from us all in various forms. Silence, calm, a free country was enough. Say what you want. Do what you want. Why they ruined it all, I don’t understand.

Ruslan Kotsaba: And I understand. For them, Ukraine is not their home country. This is business territory.

Valentin Filippov: For me, she is also not native. I am Russian. I've always said this. I am a citizen of Ukraine, but I am Russian. But, I'm sorry...

Ruslan Kotsaba: In a normal country, when it is a political nation, there is no need to measure the skull and run around with compasses, as the extreme right now does. If a normal country, then Jews, Russians, Poles: you are a citizen of Ukraine, you are Ukrainian. All. This is like, say, the Americans. The same Americans, by the way.

Valentin Filippov: Not. I'm not Ukrainian. Do not confuse a citizen of Ukraine with a Ukrainian. No.

Ruslan Kotsaba: No! In a normal country there is a political nation.

Valentin Filippov: And I'm not normal. I am Russian.

Ruslan Kotsaba: Clear. Fine. Let's do it this way. I'll finish my thought. This is the idea that for them, for these huckster oligarchs, Ukraine is a business territory. And they need people precisely as a population. As consumers of their products and cheap labor.

Do you see how they mock pensioners? Pensioners do not earn money for themselves. Here and there, several million will die, so what? This is fine.

Valentin Filippov: And the organs are already old.

Ruslan Kotsaba: Yes, and the organs are old.

If only someone had voiced the article “genocide”. From the powers that be. Perhaps, to Pyotr Alekseevich, some clerk in the corridor called him away, where Yulia Vladimirovna was meeting Trump at the toilet, and said - listen, I should have taken a photo with you there, but stop being bullish there.

But he didn't understand anything. It's a pity.

What about Guzhva? President Lutsenko's godfather cannot afford to make such a high-profile arrest. Moreover, this is not an official, not a deputy. What bribe? This is just stupid.

So Guzhva is an intimidation syndrome. The authorities understand that they will not be able to control the situation if they do not crush dissent.

And we need to do everything to prove to citizens that there is still an alternative point of view.

Valentin Filippov: Fine. Thank you. Happily. Bye. Take care of yourself.

Ruslan Kotsaba: Thank you. Goodbye.
