![Dutch News Uses Anne [Neocon] Applebaum as Putin Expert](https://progresspond.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/pattern-1-1280x640.jpg)
It didn’t take long for Dutch newspapers and national television broadcast editors to locate U.S. neocon ‘experts’ to tell us how we should think and handle the investigation into the crash of Malaysian passenger jet MH-17 in Ukraine.
Interview Anne Applebaum with Dutch tv Nieuwsuur on Sat. July 19, 2014
According to the renowned journalist / columnist Anne Applebaum is the crash the result of the Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine who only created chaos. Russian President Vladimir Putin was out on the chaos and is therefore guilty, argues Applebaum.

Promocja książki Anne Applebaum "Iron Curtain"Scandulous, especially as the Dutch expert Hubert Smeets claims all her arguments are plausible. He does mention she is married to Radek Sikorski, foreign minister of Poland. He further adds: “She is not known for anti-Russian bias.” What an extreme portion of neocon propaganda. We have seen the original media bias on Dutch television become more aggressive. So far I expect the independent and professional community of forensic experts not to be influenced by any political pressure. It appears the Dutch political community are already succumbing to media pressure.
Dutch foreign minister Timmermans had traveled to Kiev to make arrangement for Dutch forensic experts to travel to the Donetsk region, a distance of 800 km to the crash site. I sincerely wonder why he did not travel via Russia as the crash site at Shakhtars’k, just east of the city of Donetsk and 30 km from the border with Russia. According to western propaganda from Samantha Power and coming from the White House, the open borders to the rebels in eastern Ukraine, Russia has delivered the Buk-M1 SAM system used to take Malaysian flight MH-17 down. May I suggest Dutch PM Mark Rutte use the Russian ‘hospitality’ of president Putin to travel from Moscow to the border in the Donetsk region. Rutte can hitch a ride with one of those military convoys or take the bike for the last 30 km and make it happen himself as he promised the Dutch people [Google translation to English].
Close Trading Ties Between Russia and Netherlands
Russian export to The Netherlands is due to gas transport from the east and re-distributed. The Dutch had one of the largest gas fields of Slochteren and has the pipeline infrastructure in place for Europe.

Dutch Shell has an excellent working relationship with Russia on their joint projects.
The Dutch have had warm relationship with Russia dating back to Peter the Great.
In today’s politics, PM Rutte supports a moderate towards Russia as advocated by Angela Merkel. The Dutch rely on their exports on Germany due to its port in Rotterdam and the Rhine waterway for transport to the Rühr industrial area. The Dutch will likely support Italian FM Federica Mogherini. above Poland’s neocon hawk Radek Sikorski for the position as EU’s foreign policy chief.

The rebels in East Ukraine don’t have a BUK-M1 defence system so the Russians must have delivered one. The rebels don’t have the qualifications to launch a missile from such a complex system, so Russians must have operated the system and pushed the button.

Will they release the evidence that they claim to have for all to see and evaluate? Or will this be like the Iraq WMD propaganda based on a tissue of lies?
Odd that the public so quickly accepts an obvious and concerted effort to gain their support without any facts after all the times they’ve been punked.
Is Europe prepared to freeze next winter? And get only a bit of relief by buying US LNG at some multiple of the cost of Russian gas?
Liquified natural gas lies in the future, for the plants to liquify the gas do not yet exist–provided the fracking bubble does not pop and it never happens at all!
This winter Europe freezes. Don’t tell them and spoil the fun!
–Gaianne
Plants already exist and we’ve been exporting LNG for at least fifteen years. Not in the quantity needed to keep Europeans warm this winter which is why I said “only a bit of relief.” Quite silly to think that the US can frack its way to keeping Europe warm and cozy.
Red flag alert: Ghouta gas attack Sniper killings Maidan revolution Downing Malaysian airliner MH-17 Apparently using the same blueprint to act on gossip, rumor, propaganda and lies as a year ago with the expected bombing raid over Syria. What was the purpose of an Ukrainian Su-27 fighter jet flanking the MH-17 passenger plane. More questions than answers. You are moderate, the Dutch right wingers want to send the Marines to Donetsk to pick up the body bags of the victims by military force. Shame.

This action paved the way for the United States to provide the KLA with needed logistical support. At the same time, the KLA also received support from Iran and Usama bin Laden, along with ‘Islamic holy warriors’ who were jihad veterans from Bosnia, Chechnya and Afghanistan. Swiss… Read more »
