(If you want to see a full and detailed transcript and explanation of the complete phone-call that's excerpted in just a snippet there, at 0:49-1:43, in which is revealed that the "Maidan" violence in late February, which had produced the February coup, was orchestrated actually from the White House, just click here, and go down to the portion that's presented in italics there, which is the call's complete transcript.)
This U.S. coup in Ukraine culminated George W. Bush's policy of taking Ukraine out of its orbit of being a planet in the Russian solar system (Russia being the large nation bordering Ukraine, and definitely Ukraine's "sun"), and of transforming Ukraine into a U.S. military base instead, right next door to Russia -- much like Khruschev did to Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, but now turning the tables against Russia, and now hoping to do it successfully though in the exact opposite direction, even though Russia is no longer communist, and so the ideological reason (or was it just a rationalization?) is now entirely gone.
In order to make this wrenching change of Ukraine, from a Russia-ally, to a U.S.-ally, stick, Obama needed to get rid of the residents in southeastern Ukraine, the people who had voted Yanukovych into office. If those people were to have stayed, then another pro-Russian would be able to become elected President of Ukraine, and so Obama's coup there could easily and soon become undone by an election. Furthermore, those people there live on a huge shale-gas field and they resist fracking (they don't want their water to become poisoned). Western oil companies want access there to frack for its gas. Moreover Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, was recently placed onto the board of directors of the largest privately owned shale-gas operation in Ukraine, Burisma Holdings (owned by the mastermind of the May 2nd Odessa massacre against the Obama coup's local opponents in Odessa). Its owner, Ihor Kolomoysky, was appointed to be his region's Governor, by the person (Arseniy Yatsenyuk) who was appointed by the person (Victoria Nuland) who was appointed by the persons (Hillary Clinton and John Kerry) who were appointed by President Barack Obama, who is in the pocket of Big Oil just as he is of Wall Street. Obama is that, though he talks a line of criticism against them both, in order to make suckers of liberal fools and pass as a "Democrat" (without whose electoral support he'd never have been able to win Democratic primaries and thus any national political office at all as a black man, because the Republican Party certainly wouldn't have put forth a Black for President in 2008), and though Big Oil and Wall Street usually donate far more to the self-acknowledged Republicans than they do to the closeted ones such as Obama and the other utterly corrupt "Democrats," who can get enough of our oligarchs' money so as for oligarchs to control the top, Presidential, level, of the Democratic Party -- which, in the era of big-money politics, our oligarchs unfortunately do control, and not only control the entirety of the Republican Party.
And, then, there developed in full force the ethnic-cleansing campaign, to get rid of those people who had elected Yanukovych. The invasion and bombing of the people who live in southeastern Ukraine has been ceaseless for months now.
After that City was destroyed, Obama's forces went on to the much larger City of Donetsk, to destroy it, too.
On 12 July 2014, here were the results in Donetsk's suburb.
And, then, these are more of their results as they have encircled Donetsk.
As of August 9th, the other large southeastern City, Lugansk, was utterly destroyed. This great victory for Obama went unheralded at the White House, and in Western "news" media. Obama must be a modest man.
Obama has achieved a lot in Ukraine. He has gotten rid of lots of "terrorists" there, as the new Ukrainian regime refers to its victims.
