The Invasion So Far: Visual Summary Of Russian Forces And Movements
Moments ago Interfax reported that two Russian anti-submarine warships have appeared off the coast of Ukraine's Crimea region, violating an agreement on Moscow's lease of a naval base, according to a Ukrainian military source as saying. Then again what else would a Ukrainian military source say. The source added that the two vessels, part of Russia's Baltic Fleet, had been sighted in a bay at Sevastopol, where Moscow's Black Sea Fleet has a base.
So imagine two extra anti-sub ships off Sevastopol in the map below which until this latest update from Contemporary Issues and Geography, was keeping an accurate running update of all the most recent developments in the staggered Russian invasion of the Ukraine.

the Ukrainians refused to turn over their weapons according to CNN.
That means they're still in control of the actual bases there "and the Russians will have to field their forces."
I would argue "so far so bad"...not "so far so Vlad."
You cannot have an over-reaction vis a vis the general population here.
The Russians clearly do not have the support of the "indigenous population"...that means you could have a problem with your supply lines...which will require additional men and material.\
As the "build up" proceeds apace suddenly "positions start becoming clarified and set." What clearly is a "walk in the park" for the Russians starts looking..."unlike a liberation."
Clearly Putin will "win"...but this is getting uglier by the hour.
S-400s in Crimea already?? daaamn now you go try your fucking no fly zone North Atlantic Terrorist Organization.
GO Russia GO
You do know that this is a map of Crimea and not Ukraine. With the graphics, and not being careful, you might see this and think the situation is bigger than it appears. Could this be incendiary propaganda?

good find!
so ... like ... that was the 1st milestone?
i imagine that would be directed towards the Russians.
he gave "bad handshake."
Read the email leak along with below information on Nuland's famous line "Fuck the EU", one should be able to understand how the Russian feels today...
US-EU Clash on How to Install a Puppet Regime in Ukraine. Victoria Nuland | Global Research
Yesterday’s leak of the flagrant telephone talk between the US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and the US Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey R. Pyatt has already hit the international media headlines. In short, it turned out that the US officials were coordinating their actions on how to install a puppet government in Ukraine. They agreed to nominate Bat’kyvshchina Party leader Arseniy Yatseniuk as Deputy Prime Minister, to bench Udar Party leader Vitaly Klitschko off the game for a while and to discredit neo-Nazi Svoboda party chief Oleh Tiahnybok as “Yanukovych’s project”. Then Mrs. Nuland informed the US Ambassador that the Washington’s hand by the UN Secretary General, Under-Secretary for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman had already instructed Ban Ki-moon to send his special envoy to Kyiv this week “to glue the things”. Touching the European role in managing Ukraine’s political crisis, she was matchlessly elegant: “Fuck the EU”.
In a short while, after nervious attempts to blame Russians in fabricating (!) the tape (State Department: “this is a new low in Russian tradecraft”), Mrs. Nuland brought her apologies to the EU officials. Does it mean that the Washington’s repeatedly leaked genuine attitude towards the “strategic Transatlantic partnership” is much worthy of apology than the direct and clear interference into the internal affairs of a sovereign state and violation of the US-Russia-UK agreement (1994 Budapest memorandum) on security assurances for Ukraine? Meanwhile this document inter alia reads as follows:
Back to the latest Mrs. Nuland’s diplomatic collapse made public, it is hardly an unwilling and regretful fault. Andrey Akulov from Strategic Culture Foundation has published a brilliant report (Bride at every wedding, Part I and Part II) a couple of days ago depicting a blatant lack of professionalism and personal intergity of Mrs. Nuland. He described in details her involvement in misinforming the US President and nation on the circumstances of the assasination of the US Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens in Benghazi in September 2012 and her support of the unlawful US funding of a number of the Russian “independent” NGOs seeking to bring a color revolution to Russia.
Her diplomatically unacceptable behavior on the Ukrainian track, which culminated on YouTube this week (video and full transcript are available below), suggests that Mrs. Nuland is perhaps a wrong person in a wrong position for protecting American interests in Eurasia.

And to those who repeatedly accuses the Russia of violating the "1994 Budapest Memorandum", please be honest and see clearly, which parties indeed violated the said agreement and did the interference into Ukrainian affairs?
GO RUSSIA GO!!! Stop only after you drive out all the rats and cockroaches and leeches from Ukrainian borders; if those pesky lows just won't go then simply hang them all at the downtown gate!
On that march, remember to send Big & Warm "Bear Hugs" to Vilnius for its unforgettable role, and some for Warsaw as well!
For the sake of the mankind and Jewish people especially, please terminate the embryonic NAZI thugs in Kiev, don't give the creatures any further chance to inflict miseries on humanity.
I do believe all the Jewish people worldwide will strongly support the action in the profound memories of Holocaust!!

Honestly it just comes to my mind that the anti-Nazi spirit may possibly sell much much better to the said God-chosen Powerful Tribe who controls the largest dogs in D.C. and every other capitals of the ZATO gang.
To all other unintended parties who unwelcome the Anti-Nazi line here, please have your tolerance for I'm selling to the Powerful Tribe's supporters here, thus I must carry the same meme.
Subversion by economic means in way more subtle than rolling tanks.
It appears western powers moved first, with economic subversion. If true, that negates the Accord signed in Budapest.
We can expect the 'false flag' car bomb any time now.....

Does this mean that the Baikonur Cosmodrome won't launch American astronauts up to the Space Station anymore?
The Russians are going to maintain control of the Ukraine and that's that.
What could be funny is if Russia and Pakistan deny US flights/land convoys to Afghanistan.
We don't have to wonder what the Capitulator-in-Chief would do in that event.
It wouldn't be so funny if you had a son or daughter there. What's more, don't give the Russians too much credit for tactical or technical proficiency.
The Russians are still a bunch of hacks and their military (and much of their equipment) is second rate at best.
The Baikonur Cosmodrome is located in Kazakhstan east of the Aral Sea (630E, 460N)

Lord Obama needs to take a crash course in judo and go over there and kick some Russian buttski. My guess is that the pussy in chief will blink...
The REAL problem is as we face WW3, the US, EU and Israel are the "fascist bad guys" this time.
The world fought to defeat Nazism, now to be threatened by world domination of Zionism!
The BRICS need to immediately establish a world currency based on a basket of their currencies all backed by PM's and oil!
That would be the equivalent of a monetary nuke!
There is a unsettled situation in the Ukraine, with weapons of mass destruction at the Russian miitary base in Sevastapol. The Russians are securing those weapons to keep them out terrorist hands.
What's the problem here?
The problem is that Ukraine is a sovereign nation and the Russians didn't ask permission to invade... Securing their base is one thing. Securing the entire country is quite another.
the problem is that rulers of the world are insane
i am questioning myself now do we as a civilization deserve to live at all ?
we have mastered technologies that require social peace but at the same time we have record levels of unequality we let people starve to death, riot out of desperation becase people have no income to sustain their living
just imagine a nuclear plant operator whose family got threatened by rioting unemployed youth ?
Why Japan is building nuclear plants in highly seismic regions ? Should not they build those plants elsewhere lets say in russia or china and then get garanteed energy supplies from there?
Right now in a bankrupt nation of Ukrain one of the new rulers Yatsenyuk is concidering increasing military spending.
Does he understand that much more likely the country will be freezing to death in the winter from cold rather than fighting russian troops in Crimea
Insanity is all over the place there right now.
Thanks for posting a reply. ;-) I understand your anger, but that does not change reality. Like it or not, national sovereignty is the geo-political model we currently have and no amount of vitriol will change that. The insanity you speak of is not just over there. It is a global phenomenon resulting from population and technology pressures. Needless to say, it is greatly amplified in the political elite. It is not a question of if there will be another world war. It is simply a question of when and what will be the spark that triggers it. The pot is boiling and with every passing day, the pressure gets ratcheted up.
I'm working on a book about coping in the 21st century. There are strategies that you can use to hold the collective insanity at bay. My friends here at ZH will be among the first to get an abstract.
For the time being, I suggest you make preparations according to your needs.
Not insane.....sociopaths.
In a satanic global cesspool like we are living in, the biggest turds rise to the top.
Am I the only one who takes note of the increasingly rapid moral and cultural devolution of western leadership, especially in the U.S. , with Ovomit, the usurper, and his demoniacal cabal of sociopaths squatting in D.C.? Civilization itself cannot continue to withstand the incessant undermining and dissolution of the extrinsic, eternal, moral foundation upon which modern western civilization was built.
The run amok U.S. Government is the most dangerous threat that the American People have ever faced and most of them have become so government-dependent and dumbed-down they don't even know that their nation is being destroyed right before their eyes.
Anyone who doesn't understand that we are in the last days of this age is a blind, willfully ignorant, fool.
The primary duty of a patriot is to defend his/her country from its own government.
The problem is who is the so-called Ukrainian government now?
The thugs / pests / leeches / treacherous in control of Kiev by forces now?
Do you call them "legitimate" just because the armed gangs in control of Kiev and their masters said so??
I still deem Mr. Viktor Yanukovich as the legitimate, people elected President of Ukraine. He was just toppled down illegitimately by the foreign funded and instigated rebellious forces, of course against his will. I believe the Russian are sharing the same opinions as well as the clear majority of ZH readers!
Instead I am hearing some loud voices asking help from their Russian brethrens to save their country from the armed NAZI thugs. Admittedly YMMV.
Please refer to here if you have further question.
The US State Department and EU have been funneling monies to the Ukranian Fascists.
This will eventually lead to War.
It is not good. How many other Bankster-controlled states will mobilize in "support" of the Fascists in Ukraine?
True, agent provocateurs have a long and storied history in mankind's affairs. ...and I believe we can all agree that the douchebag globalists are getting desperate to distract us from the crumbling mess that is the planetary money machine.
That's for the Ukranian people to decide. It's their country. I'm sure if they ask for help, NATO will come to the rescue. NOT!!! ;-)
That's almost like saying Puerto Rico is a sovereign nation.
Fucking disappointing that this Ukraine shit means Andrew Ross Sorkin ain't getting enough publicity for being a total cocksucker.

Russia's military activities in Crimea threatening peace and security in Europe - Nato secretary-general
Reports that Ukraine is to close its airspace
Reports that Russian troops are digging trenches at the land border between Crimea and rest of Ukraine
The tartar trench repeat uh.... nazis had a hell of a time crossing that shitty place...
Btw, most UKR army units in Crimea are still there, incl. tank units, and so far refuse Russian ultimatums to surrender even tho surrounded.
And this is pretty bad if this is a sign of things to come :
Estonian media: Lithuania and Latvia acting on NATO article 4, Estonia supports them.
Defence ministry says that Estonian sovereignity at risk. "If our neighboring country occupies another country, it also significantly puts us at risk"
Poland sending high alert notices to soldiers and reserves... ready to be called up on short notice for mobilization...
Seems llike NATO members are starting to activate... uh oh.
ummm..."Russians digging in" if true is a bad sign. That means they have little confidence in the original plan for the "intervention" and are going to some type of Plan B.
The bases in Crimea should already be in Russian hands by now and they should be having flyovers of Ukrainian airspace to let Kiev know "they mean business."
Also Putin should be/have been?/laying the ground work for something "temporary" here...that this has nothing to do with Russians "exterminating" (my words) Ukrainians "who are and never were fascists or communists." (which has the added value of being true.)
The Russians need to uniform up here as well...as "one guerilla war begets another" and now suddenly Russia's entire Western periphery is on high alert "ready to kill every Russian on their soil" if need be.
Ms. Tymoshenko and her "Fatherland" Party has already "one up-ed" Ms.Merkel by demanding...and this is from CNN..."actions, not words." As a consequence the EU MUST and WILL respond.
That would mean "euro-fighter typhoons flying low and fast over Kiev" as well.
Priviet dear Comerads !

Urkraine mobilizes for war, calls up reserves
http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/02/us-ukraine-crisis-idUSBREA1Q1E...
(Reuters) - Ukraine mobilized on Sunday for war and called up its reserves, after Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened to invade in the biggest confrontation between Moscow and the West since the Cold War.
Ukraine's security council ordered the general staff to immediately put all armed forces on highest alert, the council's secretary Andriy Parubiy announced. The Defense Ministry was ordered to conduct the call-up, potentially of all men up to 40 in a country that still has universal male conscription.
Russian forces who have already bloodlessly seized Crimea - an isolated Black Sea peninsula where most of the population are ethnic Russian and Moscow has a naval base - tried to disarm the small Ukrainian contingents there on Sunday. Some Ukrainian commanders refused to give up weapons and bases were surrounded.
Of potentially even greater concern are eastern swathes of the country, where most of the ethnic Ukrainians speak Russian as a native language. Those areas saw violent protests on Saturday, with pro-Moscow demonstrators hoisting flags at government buildings and calling for Russia to defend them.
Putin's declaration that he has the right to invade his neighbor - for which he quickly received the unanimous approval of his parliament - brought the prospect of war to a country of 46 million people on the ramparts of central Europe.
according to Putin "this is between Russia and the EU."
is that a "war" between Russia and the EU?
I think this matter should be clarified and clarified immediately...or else...
We are being played.

I blame Clinton for this, back when the negotiated the Budapest Agreement, in 1994, it was sheer stupidity to believe the Russians weren’t going to eventually claim Crimea...Yeltsin was a drunk who didn’t care. They merely kicked the can down the road, until eventually the situation was going to blow up, well, now here we are.
Clintoon was and still is a stupid fuck.
"Blue Helmets" will be a target rich environment.
Obama will do nothing. He believes in the same things as Putin. Hw will not honor the Treaty.
Do not discount the possibility Backdoor Barry's two missing years at Columbia were spent at Patrice Lumumba U in Moscow.
We know for sure he is not American-in thought if not in nationality- what we do not know for sure is who he works for. He could just as easily be an FSB agent as much as a bankster agent.
A long shot, yes. But, you cannot take it off the table.
The Prime Directive is to remember the following quote: "I care not the type of government a country has, as long as I control the Money." The Cartel associated with that statement control Bath House. The final handler of the Bath House ideology was Wm. Ayers, a Maoist. Bath House has a green light to install Collectivism in the US as long as control of the Central Bank remains in its owners' hands.
A true mystery...
Russia, however, has a long feud with the Red Shield Clan. During the US Civil War, the Tsar sent warships to the US west coast in support while Lincoln was struggling against the Bankster cartel and war finances.
My own belief is that Putin is not anti-Semitic, but anti-cartel, the cartel having a large number of Red Shield members. If the US is controlled by the Cartel, it is in his favor to demolish the influence of Vichy DC.
In order to survive, Americans must kick out the Collectivists and rid themselves of the current Central Bank and its owners. A tall order, but the only way to gain Independence.

SIMFEROPOL, March 2 (RIA Novosti) – Ukrainian servicemen stationed in Crimea are leaving en masse their military units and handing over weaponry and arsenals to local pro-Russia authorities and militia, a RIA Novosti correspondent reported Sunday.
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry immediately denied the report, which was also circulated by other Russian media, calling it “a provocation.”
The ministry said in a statement that despite the attempts of “armed men” to take control of the military units stationed on the Crimean peninsula, their personnel refused to surrender and remained loyal to Kiev authorities.
Crimea, an autonomous republic within Ukraine, is now at the center of the ongoing crisis in the country as pro-Russia groups move to distance themselves from a reformed national parliament that ousted President Viktor Yanukovych a week ago.
The current development comes shortly after Russia’s upper house of parliament unanimously approved a request from President Vladimir Putin on Saturday to deploy military forces in Ukraine’s mainly ethnic Russian-populated region of Crimea.
Putin issued his request in response to what he said was a threat to the lives of Russian citizens and military forces located in naval bases in Crimea.
Putin, who is the Supreme Commander of the Russian Armed Forces, has not yet ordered the deployment of a “limited military contingent” in Ukraine, but said in telephone conversations with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and US President Barack Obama early on Sunday that Moscow reserved the right to protect its own interests and those of Russian speakers in the event of violence breaking out in eastern Ukraine and Crimea.
There is already a substantial Russian military presence in southern Ukraine, courtesy of the leased Black Sea Fleet naval base in the Crimean Peninsula.
Large movements of Russian troops have been reported around the peninsula, which is in defiance of express instructions from Ukrainian authorities this week for Russian soldiers to remain confined to their quarters.

Obama pushes Israel to stop assassinations of Iran nuclear scientists – report
http://rt.com/news/iran-obama-assassination-scientists-443/
President Barack Obama is pressuring Israel to stop carrying out assassinations of top nuclear scientists in Iran as the Islamic Republic continues its negotiations with world powers over its uranium enrichment program, according to a new book.
Apart from pressure from Washington that Israel give up the assassination program, sources close to Israel's intelligence agencies told CBS News’s Dan Raviv that Mossad itself viewed the campaign as too dangerous to continue. Raviv, who was updating a book he co-wrote about the history of Israel's intelligence agencies, said the pressure form the Obama administration was “more than a hint.”
Mossad itself was apparently undergoing a sea change regarding the program. Fearing their ‘best combatants’ – Israel's term for its most accomplished spies – could be captured and hanged, the agency is reportedly set to shift its focus to other activities. According to security sources, Netanyahu ordered the intelligence agency to focus its efforts on proving the Islamic Republic is cheating on a landmark preliminary agreement made with six world powers in November to curtail its uranium enrichment program in return for limited sanctions relief.
