Fox
News analyst: ‘Start killing Russians’ to save Ukraine
RT,

March, 2015
A
military analyst has told Fox News that the only way to turn the tide
in conflict in Eastern Ukraine is to “start killing Russians.”
The former general alleged there are 12,000 Russian regular troops
currently “camped” on Ukrainian territory.
On
Tuesday, Fox News Channel aired a segment featuring Robert H. Scales,
a former United States Army major general, who shared his own plan to
settle the Ukrainian crisis. The recipe is simple: kill the alleged
Russian soldiers roaming eastern Ukraine.
Scales
acknowledged that an ongoing deployment of American troops to Eastern
Europe is unlikely to change the situation and did not elaborate on
who is supposed to eliminate the fabled Russian servicemen: Ukrainian
troops or American GIs.

The
interview ran as follows:
Fox
News: 3,000 US troops deploying to Eastern Europe, some armor will be
going with them, apparently. To what effect and what do you expect?
Robert
H. Scales: I think to no effect. It’s game, set and match in
Ukraine. The only way the United States can have any effect in this
region and turn the tide is start killing Russians. Killing Russians
by… Killing so many Russians that even Putin’s media can’t hide
the fact that Russians are returning to their motherland in body
bags. But given the amount of support we’ve given to the Ukrainians
and given the ability of Ukrainians themselves to counterattack
against 12,000 Russians camped in their country – sadly, that’s
not likely to happen.

In
an op-ed for
fellow News Corp. outlet the Wall Street Journal published on
February 18, Scales called on to the Obama administration to begin
sending the “lethal
defensive weapons” Ukraine
needs “to
defend itself from further incursions by Russian troops and
Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine.”
The
US Army should also provide the Kiev authorities with American-made
Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS) and train Ukrainian troops to
operate them to hunt down Russian “command-and-control facilities
and armored vehicles.”
Supply
of only one weapons system to Kiev troops cannot be decisive, “But
it seems unlikely that Mr. Putin could stand significant losses in
his precious armored forces for long,” shared Sales.
Given
Russia’s “flagging
economy,” it
is unlikely the Russian president “would
throw the dice and escalate the conflict with a full-scale invasion
of western Ukraine.”
In
this way the US could “preserve
the sovereignty of a friendly state (Ukraine) and turn back a tyrant
(Putin) who threatens Europe,” Scales
wrote.
A
week ago the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission in Ukraine reported that
the number of ceasefire violations in war-torn eastern Ukraine is
dropping, though violations of the Minsk ceasefire agreement are
still being registered.
