United States Empire: Biden and Kerry Gave Orders to Ukraines President by Eric Zuesse!

On May 19th, an implicit international political warning was issued, but it was not issued between countries; it was issued between allied versus opposed factions within each of two countries: United States and Ukraine. In the United States, it is a Republican Party warning to the Democratic Party: a warning by Donald Trump, against Joe Biden and against Barack Obama. It is saying: "We have got the goods on you, and we are not releasing it yet. But here is a sample. So, let us deal."

It is a warning that comes from the current President of Ukraine, Volodmyr Zelenskiy, and that places into an exceptionally bad light his immediate predecessor, Petro Poroshenko, as having been a mere vassal of Donald Trumps immediate predecessor, Barack Obama.

The Ukrainian pro-Zelenskiy, anti-Poroshenko, and pro-Trump, faction, are warning the United States Democratic Party, which backed Poroshenko. This warning comes via an online pro-Zelenskiy Ukrainian TV station, InTimeUkraineTV, and it was issued in a 32-minute 19 May 2020 youtube:

One can hear there, first, United States Secretary of State John Kerry, and then United States Vice President Joe Biden, tell Ukraines President Petro Poroshenko how to run his country so that the IMF would continue to guarantee (back up by United States-and-allied taxpayers) the investments by United States-and-allied private investors in Ukrainian Government debt (bonds). The alternative that Mr. Poroshenko faced was always that those investors would lose whatever they had invested, and that Mr. Poroshenko would then no longer be protected by the United States Government and by its allied governments.

These are only selected excerpts, and they constitute also a warning that unless the pro-Poroshenko and pro-Obama people soon start cooperating with the pro-Zelenskiy and pro-Trump people, portions from United States-Ukraine diplomatic phone-conversations which were recorded that are even more incriminating against the Poroshenko-Obama people will likewise be made public. In that sense, it is like blackmail, but it is currently only political - instead of also legal - jeopardy.

Here are some of the noteworthy revelations in this, the first such release:

The United States officials, agents for U.S. President Barack Obama, are shown, in early 2016, not negotiating with, but instructing, Ukraines President Petro Poroshenko, who, at 17:00- 22:50, requests Joe Biden to "increase the pressure" in order to get the (extremist anti-Russian) parliamentary factions of Tymoshenko, Lyashko, and Samopomich, to back the United States-demanded bills (proposed laws) that are in Ukraines parliament. At 19:20, Joe Biden mentions the American Natalie "Jaresko [on her] facebook page talking about wanting to consider being Prime Minister with the technocratic government." Michael Bloombergs blog (Bloomberg News) had headlined, on 22 March 2016, "Ukraines Jaresko Says She would Be Willing to Head New Cabinet", and reported that neither President Poroshenko nor the (secretly Obama-appointed - see video here of that secret U.S. appointment of Ukraines Prime Minister, and the transcript and explanation of it here) then-current (that United States-appointed) Ukrainian Prime Minister, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, would speak publicly regarding the initiative by the American Natalie Jaresko to become (the American-appointed) Yatsenyuks successor. Poroshenkos reply to Joe Biden was to "promise [you] to receive my proposal about the technocratic government of Jaresko." Bloombergs employees reported there that the IMF wanted her to become Yatsenyuks successor so that "The reforms will be more radical, and it means more political risks, more possible conflicts with parliament" (because - though Bloomberg hid this - protecting the investors in Ukrainian Government bonds would require yet more impoverishment of the Ukrainian public). As Poroshenko told Biden at 20:00, "the reason of the political crisis is that the three fractions [factions, or political parties] from Samopomich, Tymoshenko and Lyashko, go out from [leave] the coalition, and we [are] left together with the [United States-appointed] Prime Minister in a minority. I invite Samopomich and propose them to either to support Jaresko or to propose his [its] leader as a [the] next Prime Minister." So, although Poroshenko had not publicly endorsed Jareskos bid to become the next Prime Minister to replace the current American-appointed one, he did confirm privately to Joe Biden that he supported either her or Samopomichs pick to fill that spot. But Poroshenko went on to say that Samopomich would cooperate but only this one time, and Poroshenko then explained to Biden, "This is not possible under our Constitution; they should sign up personally their membership in coalition," which they refused to do. The vassal, Poroshenko, was here explaining to the emperor, Obama (through the emperors messenger, Biden), the difficulties that were blocking the IMFs forced enserfment of the Ukrainian people. (22:15:) "Without Samopomich, with the rejection of Tymoshenko and Lyashko, we do not have [enough] for your ask [of] 226" votes (a governing majority - which would enable Ukraines public to become yet-more exploited directly, and United States-and-allied publics to become more exploited indirectly because the downside financial risks of those international debts would then be transferred onto them). (22:40:) "I asked to contact [your] Ambassador maybe to increase the pressure and to support Jareskos candidacy by Samopomich." (23:23:) "Our United States partners give grants to Samopomich and give him [it] significant financial support." Poroshenko was telling Obama (via Biden) "maybe to increase the pressure," if he wants to get Ukraines elected politicians to cooperate. He was saying: They do not want to lose their seats, but maybe more money from United States taxpayers might persuade them to take the risk of losing their seats (via sufficiently high bribes and-or threats).

Whether InTimeUkraineTV, or any other Zelenskiy front, has these recordings going all the way back to the coup that handed control of Ukraines Government over to the United States Government, is not known, but the prior evidence suggests that it almost certainly is the case.

Whether or not there are already ongoing negotiations between the Trump team and the Obama team regarding how America will be run (or how Americas "elections" will be run), is even less certain. What has not been disclosed from those recordings is a weapon.
