A new victim for the US

Ukraine is now facing a number of problems. In itself, the country is "impossible connection" Ukrainian and Russian territory, wedged in some border Lenin and Khrushchev. Crimea has reunited with Russia, but this route could go south-east of Ukraine, especially if the "figurehead" the government will continue to show hostility to the Russian-speaking population.
Also brewing conflict between the "rules of the sector" and "puppets" of the US, adds Paul Craig Roberts. In the case of armed conflict, Washington can come to the aid of his proteges, and then the appearance of the Ukraine NATO troops will force Putin to join the rest of the Russian-speaking part of Ukraine.
In addition, the Western media do not tell the whole truth about the "assistance package" of the IMF. Media reports and Ukrainians they believe that the IMF will save the country, giving it billions. But in reality, says Roberts, Ukraine "will never see a single dollar of the IMF." In fact, the IMF will give the money intended Ukraine Western banks, and those that amount will reduce the debt of Ukraine. As a result, Ukraine will have to not banks, and the IMF.



And the IMF conditions require a strict regime of economy: in Ukraine will fall pensions, government spending, subsidies for major purchases such as gas. As a result, the already low standard of living will go down, predicts the author. Public and private property of the production will be sold to Western buyers. In addition, Ukraine will be obliged to move to a floating rate of the hryvnia. To prevent the fall of the hryvnia and the high price of imports, the country will go into even more debt. At the same time, corruption is also not going anywhere.
Thus, concludes Roberts, "a direct result of naive protests on the Maidan - a lower standard of living, the growth of corruption, the loss of sovereignty in economic policy and the transfer of public and private property in the hands of the West».



And hitting "in the claws of NATO", Ukraine still be in a military alliance against Russia and the Russian missiles will be aimed at her. For Russia and Ukraine, with their close ties and shared history is a tragedy. If the "Western pillage and Washington's desire for world hegemony 'share Ukraine and Russia, it will be a disgrace and a crime, says American economist.
In conclusion, he noted that the governments of debtor subscribe to the IMF program and the robbing of their people, because they are bribed. "Compared with the corruption that is now falls to the Ukraine, the previous mode will look honest," - says author Paul Craig Roberts.



As a result, "gullible simpletons" Maidan will regret for life, sums up Paul Craig Roberts.
