Paging Russian President Vladimir Putin. There’s some photos the White House wants you to see.
From the halls of Congress to the Oval Office, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko met with the highest leaders in the United States on Thursday, sending a clear message to Russia about the U.S.’s commitment to helping Ukraine.
As White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said on Wednesday: “The picture of President Poroshenko sitting in the Oval Office will be worth at least a thousand words — both in English and Russian.”
Here’s a look at seven of the photos the White House and Poroshenko hope Putin doesn’t miss:
“The people of the United States stand with the people of Ukraine,” President Obama declared after meeting with Poroshenko in the Oval Office.

Before meeting with the president, Poroshenko waved to people as he arrived at the White House.

Asked if he was getting what he hoped for in terms of assistance form the U.S., Poroshenko said he was getting everything that was possible.

Poroshenko addressed a joint meeting of Congress too, asking the United States to continue to stand in solidarity with Ukraine as well as making a request for military assistance for Ukrainian soldiers combating Russian aggression.
“They need more political support throughout the world. They need more military equipment, both lethal and non-lethal, urgently need,” Poroshenko said to applause. “Please understand me correctly. Blankets, night vision goggles are also important but one cannot win the war with blankets. Even more we cannot keep the peace with a blanket and this is most important of our values, of our aim, not to win the war, but keep the peace. For keeping the peace, we should be strong enough and there is not any doubt that we will be strong because of you. because our solidarity.”

Annual Military Exercise Takes on New Meaning for Ukraine Troops 

1 Share
The Ukrainian troops put on camouflage paint and hide in tall grass by the side of the road.  They have information that an enemy convoy will be passing by soon. Minutes later four trucks speed down the road and screech to a halt as bombs go off and the Ukrainian troops open fire.  The enemy retreats and the Ukrainian soldiers congratulate each other on a successful mission.   But this is not the east, and this “enemy” is not a separatist force or Russian troops.     This is western Ukraine, and the “enemy” is a platoon of American soldiers, pointing their weapons and shouting, “Pow, pow, pow,” and then smiling as one smart aleck among them adds, “You guys are all dead, now.”   These troops are among the forces of 15 nations participating in an exercise called “Rapid Trident.”  It is an annual event, but this year the drills have special meaning.   “We are having hard times in the east now,” said Ukrainian Army Cadet Mikhail Marchenko, referring to the fighting against rebels who have declared independence in two eastern provinces, supported by Russian forces.   “During military actions there, separatists and rebel groups are attacking our forces in the same way as reflected in these actions,” Marchenko said.   “We are trying now to get this stuff better within the troops,” said Ukrainian Navy Lieutenant Yevgeny Zabrodskiy, a veteran of the Ukrainian military collapse in Crimea in February, when Russia seized the peninsula.   “We have young people here so the more experienced guys they can give them some information,” he said.  “They can train them.  They can show them their mistakes so that they can work on that.”     But, he added that it is “one thing when we train them by ourselves, and another thing is to train them with the international community, who can help us, who can show us our minuses, advantages, disadvantages.”   "Rapid Trident", a reference to the Ukrainian national symbol, has brought together 1,300 troops from several NATO members, including Britain, Bulgaria, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, and Romania, as well as several other countries including Azerbaijan, Georgia and Moldova.  The 12-day exercise focuses on combat skills like patrolling, countering improvised explosive devices, convoy operations, urban warfare and emergency medical evacuation.   Ukraine is not a NATO member, but in a speech to a joint meeting of the U.S. Congress on Thursday, President Petro Poroshenko asked for a special security status to facilitate military aid.     Ukraine is a NATO partner nation, and these exercises are taking place just 30 kilometers from the border of NATO-member Poland, which announced on Thursday that it plans to create a joint military unit with Ukraine and NATO-member Lithuania.  The move would provide Ukrainian military units with more regular contact with NATO forces, but is well short of the security guarantees membership would provide.   For now, Ukraine’s parliament has adopted a non-alignment policy, but officials say that could change if the security situation worsens further.   Russian criticism Russia has criticized this exercise, which was scheduled before the Russian-backed separatists started the hostilities in eastern Ukraine.  Russian troops are holding exercises at the same time in several areas not far from Ukraine, and the country has strengthened its military positions near the border and in occupied Crimea.   At Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council in Kyiv, analyst Volodymyr Poliovyi said, “This year besides the military component of training our troops, [Rapid Trident] also has a symbolic aspect.  It means support.  We really appreciate this support that members of NATO are showing us.”    “These drills also demonstrate the readiness of Ukrainian forces to receive aid quickly, incorporate it, and incorporate various types of weaponry and styles of command that meet NATO standards," Poliovyi said.   “We might do some things slightly different,” said U.S. Army Lieutenant Thomas Johnston after working with some Georgian troops here on how to clear a building of hostile forces.  “But if we were to go do an operation together or train together, I think that would be fairly easy because we’re familiar with working with each other now.”

Peshmarga General: US, NATO Needed to Defeat IS in Iraq

1 Share
The head of the Peshmarga forces in Iraq says U.S. airstrikes against the Islamic State are helpful where they are being done aggressively. General Sirwan Barzani told VOA that without potentially more U.S. or NATO intervention the Islamic State terrorist group will linger on forever in Iraq. He says progress by the Peshmarga forces against the militant group has been slow because the fight is on flat land, which they are not used to, and because they are fighting a well-organized group whose militants are in many cases better armed. He said the militant extremists would represent a serious challenge even for a big country with a well-equipped military. The general said more than 85 percent of the support for the Islamic State group is coming from Sunnis. He said their contribution to the enemy force was far larger than what he described the original group of militants that came from outside Iraq

By Focusing on Politics, Russians Missing Looming Economic Catastrophe, Moscow Scholar Warns 

1 Share
Staunton, September 18 – Like Argentinians in the 1950s and 1960s, Russians are focusing on politics to the extent that they do not see the economic catastrophe for the future that Moscow’s current policies guarantee – decades of stagnation and missed opportunities for a better life, according to Konstantin Sonin.
The Higher School of Economics professor says that Argentinians did not notice how quickly they were falling behind other countries two generations ago because their leaders encouraged them to focus only on political issues, and as a result, this economic disaster became “an unnoticed catastrophe.”
Now, he says, Russians are doing the same thing to their peril. “On the one hand,” he says, the course the Russian government has embarked on is truly “catastrophic.” But “on the other, this catastrophe which now appears completely inevitable will not be similar to the catastrophe of 1990-1991 which led to catastrophic political consequences.”
Rather, Sonin argues, what is coming will be “a catastrophe of the ‘Argentinian type,’” involving “long years of slow development” which will leave Russia even further behind the West than it is now and which will be looked back on as “decades of lost opportunities” just as the Argentinians do today.
“The sanctions which have been imposed from outside and the sanctions which have been imposed by Russia itself are completely impermissible. They are making stable growth practically impossible,” even though Russia needs to grow “a minimum of two to three percentage points faster than Europe in order to catch up.”
From an economic development point of view, Sonin says, “this is no less impermissible than some territorial or even more geopolitical losses.” The expenditures on war both in the direct and indirect sense are simply “incompatible with stable economic growth,” even if few in Russian are paying attention to that reality.
Today, Russians are focused on geopolitics even though that is “a subject which is in no way connected with the problems of [Russia] in 2014.” Sonin asks rhetorically “What then can economists do to attract attention?” Perhaps he says they should talk about what will happen when it will cost 100 rubles to buy a single US dollar.
Or perhaps they should suggest that Russia is converting itself into North Korea and will have to send all its oil to China to keep itself afloat? Or perhaps, he says, they should talk about the risk that Russians in the future will have to watch as their children become slaves to Baltic barons? But at present, he suggests, even that might not be enough to change their focus.
