For example, barely more than three weeks ago, on March 12th, a column of Ukrainian tanks on trucks was blocked by overtly pro-Russian Ukrainians, who even showed the pre-communist (<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_Ukrainian_flags\"><span class=\"s4\">1710\/1721-1858 &amp;1883\u20141917\/1918<\/span><\/a>)\u00a0flag of the then-single nation of Russia (from the time when Ukraine was part of Russia), which was until the Bolshevik Revolution.

These truckers encountered such hostility that they backtracked and took an alternate route (presumably more northerly).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Officially in Ukraine, all opponents of the Obama regime there are \u2018terrorists.\u2019 (Thus, the government\u2019s constant bombings of them are in an \u2018Anti Terrorist Operation\u2019 or ATO.) The Obama team told its people to use this terminology because gullible individuals anywhere will oppose anyone who is merely labeled a \u2018terrorist\u2019 \u2013 even when the actual terrorism is on the part of the U.S. Government and its installed regimes, such as is the case in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=c-NzhHv6AAo&amp;list=UUtvrV_ifhx0EDhmPPRl7adQ\"><span class=\"s4\">Ukraine<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The United States has become George Orwell\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nations_of_Nineteen_Eighty-Four\"><span class=\"s4\">Oceania<\/span><\/a>.
