Putin To Use Military In Ukraine
Current US foreign policy in a nutshell: Barack Obama tells Vladimir Putin "there will be costs" if Russia invades Ukraine. What does Putin do? He invades Ukraine. Only this time it's official: AP reports that the Kremlin says Russian President Vladimir Putin has asked parliament for permission to use the country's military in Ukraine. Putin says the move is needed to protect ethnic Russians and the personnel of a Russian military base in Ukraine's strategic region of Crimea.
From the Kremlin website:
Vladimir Putin made an appeal to the Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.
“In connection with the extraordinary situation in Ukraine, the threat to the lives of citizens of the Russian Federation, our compatriots, the personnel of the military contingent of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation deployed in the territory of Ukraine (Autonomous Republic of Crimea) in accordance with an international treaty, and pursuant to Article 102-1(d) of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, I hereby submit to the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation a letter on the use of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the territory of Ukraine pending normalisation of the public and political situation in that country"
More from Itar-Tass
Putin also appointed Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin to be his official representative in the Federation Council when it considers his letter.
Earlier in the day, the Federation Council asked Putin to take “exhaustive measures” to protect Russians in Ukraine.
“We have urgently summoned the house Council and thought it necessary to make a statement assessing the current situation in Ukraine,” Federation Council Chairperson Valentina Matviyenko said.
She said a group of Russian senators, who had visited Crimea, had informed their colleagues about the situation in the Ukrainian autonomy and specifically in Sevastopol, the home base of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
“Today there is a real threat to the life and security of Russian citizens living in Ukraine. There is a threat to our military in Sevastopol and the Black Sea Fleet, and I think that Russia should not be a bystander,” she said.
The main purpose of the Federation Council’s appeal to the president is to urge him “to take exhaustive measures, all possible measures, to ensure the security of our citizens living in Ukraine, help our brotherly Ukrainian people achieve stabilisation and channel the current crisis into a civilised legal track so that the agreements that were signed by the opposition leaders and the head of state were implemented strictly,” Matviyenko said.
She noted that members of the Federation Council “asked the president to take exhaustive measures to prevent further escalation and put the resolution of the political crisis onto a legal track so that those who have grabbed power did not hurry so much and did not trample upon the rights of people and different regions of Ukraine.”
“The agreement [of February 21] clearly determined the sequence of steps. A constitutional reform first - it was supposed to be carried out with broad participation of public and political forces and regions in order to work out a consensus-based document that would be supported by all people in Ukraine. According to international practices, such serious documents should be adopted in a national referendum,” Matviyenko said.
Having expressed regret that this had not happened, she noted that “the speed with which presidential elections have been announced [in Ukraine] puts its legitimacy in question.”
“The agreement calls for forming a government of national accord, which means that it should include representatives of all political forces. In reality we see that the government, which was approved to the stomping of the Maidan, did not include all political forces and was formed from opposition parties only,” Matviyenko observed.
She also said that “the heads of regions were not summoned for consultation.” So “we can understand why there are protests in regions, except for Western regions of Ukraine,” she added.
Matviyenko called for finding “a calm, civilised and legal solution to the crisis” and stressed that “there is no need to demonstrate high political and diplomatic culture in this case because we can see that this is neither appreciated nor understood, and most importantly the security of people will not be ensured.
RIA further adds, the military use is virtually assured as it was leaders of Russia’s upper and lower houses of parliament who first called Saturday on President Vladimir Putin to stabilize the situation in Crimea and protect Russian citizens. The leader of Federation Council, Russia’s upper house, said the use of military force in the former Soviet nation could be justified after the opposition swept into power in Kiev last weekend.
More from the RT:
“In this situation it would even be possible, on the request of the Crimean government, to bring in a limited contingent [of troops] to guarantee security,” Valentina Matviyenko said.
The partition of Ukraine has become increasingly likely in recent days as heavily armed men understood to be Russian soldiers have taken control of key facilities and blocked roads in Crimea.
About 60 percent of the residents of Ukraine’s southern peninsula are ethnic Russians with the remainder of the population made up of Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars, who largely support the incoming regime.
The State Duma, Russia’s lower house, released a similar statement Saturday that said must Putin bring the situation in Ukraine under control.
“All available means” should be deployed to protect Russian citizens, said Sergei Naryshkin, a former head of the presidential administration and the current parliamentery speaker in the Duma.
The Crimea has been visited by a series of Russian Duma deputies in recent days, including former boxing champion Nikolai Valuev, former figure skater Irina Rodnina, and the first woman in space Valentina Tereshkova.
Pro-Russian protests calling for secession have taken place sporadically across the southern and eastern Ukraine since President Viktor Yanukovuych was toppled from power a week ago.
Meanwhile, international media has reported widespread military movements, believed to be units from Russia's Black Sea fleet headquartered in Crimea, including tanks and helicopters that began on Tuesday. Ukrainian officials have accused the Kremlin of provoking conflict and called on Russia to return all soldiers to their bases.

Needless to say all of this is just for show: as we have been reporting for the past 4 days, Russian troops have long since been in Ukraine.
More importantly, it appears Putin is not very concerned about the impact his actions will have on equity futures when they open for trading on Sunday evening: but... but... the artificial "on paper" wealth effect. On the other hand, he certainly has a lot of concern to keep geopolitical events of the type that keep the price of crude high, always at arms length.

The "Ukrainian Army is no pushover" ...
... until they realize they ainT getting paid.
I can't t imagine the Ukrainian army wanting a fight against Russia.
But the molotov cocktail brigade might be stupid enough (if the EU will up their €30/day allowance to €50).
When your liberty is threatened it is quite amazing what a people will do.
Liberty? Where?
"I find it interesting that Ukrainian debt still trades at 90cents on the dollar too."
lol, you really are disabled, aren't you?
Without air they are but a snack for Putin and his troops.
Also, what percentage of the troops support Russia and what percentage supports the Ukraine?
Yanakovich will find a nice place in Switzerland for him and his family I imagine.
Yanukovych is so yesterdays news.
I think we'll be seeing the total annexation of that Country after the Western half realizes they've benn stood up and won't be getting the money and jobs they were promised by the U.S. and EU. Give it a little bit more time but the entire Country will probably be speaking Russian by this time next year!
US propaganda is so trite... The Jew Lack's lawyer lackeys send out a memo to hide or Corzine any evidence of collusion with Yanukovych, while the Federal Swiss prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation of Yanukovych and actually raided the offices his business interests in Switzerland in pursuit of evidence of a crime. Something tells me Yanukovych won't be settling in or even visiting Switzerland.
Quote on quote.. Fuck the EU
The problem with the Ukraine Army is that it will splinter down the middle just like the country... as in civil war.
ramble on...

Russian army moving into Crimean city of Balaclava
if the russian army is going in for pastry then turkey better watch out. lulz
Balaclava is headgear.

It is possible for a Balaclava-wearing army to eat Baklava though. ;-)
I wonder what the guys from the column of APC's picked up at the convenience store yesterday- that didn't look like a doughnut shop in the YouTube video (so it couldn't be a DHS false flag).

So we got potential for confilct (direct or by proxy) on every continent excluding Australia and the Antarctic, and the major powers in full mobilisation... I think if it kicks off now, revisionist historians in the future won't have a hard time defending the thesis that 'everyone saw WW3 comming'... If there will be historians in the future, or just glass craters.
Don't worry, the NSA is monitoring the situation on Yahoo Messenger...
Don't worry, the NSA is monitoring the situation on Yahoo Messenger...
And the NSA doing the usual in the disinformation department. A worthwhile look.
Don't worry, government is too occupied with analyzing webcam pictures of own naked citizens. There are no ressources left to prepare a war, which is actually a good thing. Make love not war.
I bet they spent countless billions of dollars on monitoring yahoo messenger too. Money they now wish they had spent on national security!
This is so fucking hilarious. Putin just keeps crapping in Obama's lap and he goes golfing. TKO
So Harry Reid and the Senate gave Vlad Obama permission to unleash the dogs of war upon a sovereign nation? Same as it ever was.
Wait, wrong thread ;-)
Funny how its 'peace-keeping' when we do it but an invasiion when they do it...
All neocons of the blue team and read team can go to hell.
And a special fuck you to Kerry and Billary
How long before China says... yep this is a good idea... and goes for the contested islands with Japan and/or Indonesia/Philippines?? I mean they should do it at the same time that Russia takes Ukraine... Obama 2 brain cells would explode.
China will wait for Russian and American forces to wear each other out a bit then take us both out. That Sun Tzu was a real prick...
Caught me off guard. I expected to hear Moscow claim "yellow cake" discovered in Ukraine to justify the invasion. Of course Russian soldiers will be seen as "liberators" in eyes of Ukrainian's. And won't cost Russian citizens a dime.
Anyone check to see if Cheney & Wolfowitz put in a change of address to Russia recently?
If Obama sticks his nose into this I hope they impeach him.
Now is your time to rise up for once America and finally tell that clown to sit down and stop picking fights on behalf of the nation.
It was wise of Russia to do this in the year of congressional elections just in case goldfish voters have forgotten all the other adventures in imperialism
RUSSIA'S VOROBYOV SAYS OBAMA CROSSED RED LINE BY INSULTING THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE, ASKS TO RECALL AMBASSADOR
Lulz.
And anyone here talked to the average sheeple? They don't know ANYTHING about this... and say : meh it's not this bad, people said ww3 would start when the US attacked Iraq (lol sure maybe the idiots did) this is nothing... yeah, what Russia is willing to go to war over (crimea and sevastopol) with anybody including NATO... is no big deal riiiiiiiiiiight???
Diplomats being pulled signals a raising of DEF-CON.

Wonder what they caught Obama doing?
It is now impossible to think up a conspiracy theory wild enough for it not to already be fact.
Minutes after issuing a stern warning to Russia and saying there will be a price to pay if it interferes militarily in Ukraine, President Obama headed to a “happy hour” with fellow Democrats.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/feb/28/obama-declares-happy-hou...
Being president and keeping track of things is too hard for little Barack?? Maybe he can FUCKING RESIGN??? Hell I just worked a 18 hours shift and I'm still fucking here and I'm not the fucking PRESIDENT OF THE US WITH A WW3 CRISIS ON MY HANDS!!!!!!
He'd like the Green Apple Martini......extra sweet!
"Happy hour" is the code name for their special nuke proof bunker. I hear it includes amenities like a bath house, movie theater and a karaoke machine.
Don't forget the glory holes
Who in the fuck elected this guy!?!? So ashamed.
Ya mean this guy??
Obama walks into a Ukrainian bar and the bartender says " sorry it's
past closing hour"
Lagarde walks in and the bartender says " sorry, can not accept your credit card"
Nuland walks in and the bartender says " we don't serve prostitutes that go around fucking people"
Putin walks in and the bartender says " what will it be Sir ? "
Kerry walks in and the bartender says " why the long face ? "
Unless Obama already was told the pre-planned chess moves and result.
Sometimes in chess, you get to the point where you can see the inevitable checkmate, even if it's tens moves from now; which is what makes chess such a great game!
Wake me up when WW3 ends.
If nukes start flying hopefully ground zero is near me.
This is already war...between Israel/USA/Saudi Arabia/Europe -oil/gas control -v- Russia
+ 100 Bing and Bing
This is nothing more than the West & Saudis trying to exact some form of retrubituion because they were embarassed in Syria..Mask is coming up for all to be seen now of who really dicatees foreign policy..always follow the money. They want that pipeline and their bought and paid for Congress here and puppets in the EU could not deliver..so now they try the backdoor and thought they were going to humiliate Putin...and like most of us here expected Putin saw all he had to see..he is willing to wage war and the U.S. has been to busy playing in the Pop Warner League for decades knocking off "regimes" with minimal capability to wage war.
Putin knows there is not a single chance of American populace agreeing to a war over in the Ukraine now. Not happening.
and China?
If the bankers want this war so bad ... about time they went and fought it themselves.
This is not my problem and neither is it yours.
My problem is I don't want a war. I don't think anyone wants Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya/Syria all over again. I think it is the right of anyone to actively resist that -- even if it means inviting the Russian army in.
This is as good a time as any for civil disobedience (hint, hint)
No peasant (that's virtually all of us) has anything to gain out of this. You didn't gain anything in Libya, nothing in Iraq, nothing in Afghanistan, nothing in Syrai ... so Ukraine is going to be different, right?
If Barry is a paper tiger or not is, quite frankly, irrelevant. The US military can wreak havock, pillage and destroy communities ... you have *nothing* to prove.
The "manly" behaviour in a situation like this is to avoid bloodshed and war. If a war breaks out, we all lose ... even you.
"I, [NAME], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;" Think about that for a while. Your current administration may just as well use your constitution as a door mat and all you care about is what Barry says about Ukraine ... interesting times.
repost: UN UN UN, memories of shoes pounded on desks, serious people around a table ear phones on speaking of how to avoid wars, televised world wide, national headlines, now we get nothing, does the UN shut down for cold weather in NYC? does the UN security council just use paper cutouts of the powerful?? Laughing at the insanity of international politics of today...good night mrs calabash where ever you are.
The UN has devolved into an organization run by the same kind of leaders running the U.S. Thugs, thieves, and dictators tell the world to send in more money so they can sponsor immorality while they sit in sanctimony.
We need someone with a good command of the English language...
Banksters and the Globalist Corporations.
We should just sit back and watch the Russians fuck it up. No matter what Russia does now it drives Ukraine even closer to a European alliance.
Crimea was loaned to Ukraine by Stalin anyway. It was always Russian territory.
which Ukraine will move toward a Euro alliance? West Ukraine is already to that point.
Are you saying, East and South will join them? doubtfull.
Someone from Georgia (Stalin) gave the Crimea away? Time to take it back.
If the Russians don't split Ukraine they lose.
If the Russians do split Ukraine they lose also. It would be a reminder to their neighbors not to get too close to the bear and to seek alliances elsewhere.
The basic right to self determination is a powerful weapon,but very difficult to wield proficiently. However, where reason fails, greed and self interest can be deployed. Really, what does the EU have to offer west Ukraine, nobody likes to sign up with a loser who doesn't even pay his "fair share" to the FSA?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimea
Stalin died in 1953 and Crimea was loaned by Khruschev in 1954.
It was Stalin's original proposal and the groundwork had already been laid by Stalin. Just required a new signature after Stalin lol
News Flash! Stalin died in 1953.
Back in the days of the USSR that was just an internal administrative matter. Politicaly, it meant absolutely nothing.
Good ol' Joe!
parliament, lulz. well played vlad, well played.
The Crimea is a part of the Ukraine that is necessary to Russian interests. There are very close ties between the local government in the Crimea and Russia. There are also close ties in industrial usage and labor. Russia has large investments there. Would we say it was wrong for a neighbor to assist or help protect a neighbor? There has been a man made disaster in the Western part of the Ukraine who have dissimilar interests. There is more fear in the Crimea that some form of belligerence will come from the West. Not the East.
My guess, because Putin has every reason to maintain civility and stability in the Eastern and Southern part of Ukraine, that's what he'll do. It's sad that when bodies of government act to protect labor and capitalistic incomes being generated by citizens that we don't recognize it.
But, when our government takes rights from people like privacy in every way possible to the most extreme extent in complete violation of our Constitution and then layer loss of personal freedom for what used to be our very private health. We just meekly allow it.Like a flock of sheep!
America has no right to criticize when we allow our previously Constitutional government turned into and resembles very closely what used to be the Parent of Russia. At least they had the good sense to rid themselves of it! We are beginning down that destructive path almost beyond the point of no return!
Crimea was always Russian until Stalin gave it to the Ukraine. Apparently it was just a loan lol...
you have to admit it was nice of him to ask
There is nothing the U.S.S.A. can do, period. This region use to be part of the U.S.S.R.
Ironic isn't it?
That is atypically optimistic of you that just because there is nothing the USSA can do that the imperialists won't try something anyway in the name of the american people.
They don't represent me. I am opting out
Maybe there is nukes in Cremlia, someone has to take action, future will tell...

No sarcasm needed. This is something that the pricks at the CIA and Saudi agents would happily do, to fuck with EU's supply from Russia, rather than from the ME.
That would also have a HUGE impact on saving the Petro-Dollar.
One needs to think more than one move ahead, friend.
MWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHA
White House on Russian President Vladimir Putin's request to Parliament to approve use of armed forces in Ukraine: 'We're monitoring the situation closely, consulting with our partners, and considering the potential costs the President spoke about yesterday' - @NBCNews
Color me shocked. Exactly what everyone who has been actually following this would expect to happen next.
The USA needs to be honest with itself. Russia is calling the bullshit stacked on bullshit stacked on lies and more bullshit on a pepperoni pizza. The USA is nothing but bark and Russia knows it - pick a place - economic, political, domestic justice, foreign policy, etc, the USA is nothing but shit caked in pretty shit sold by liars to other liars living the life of hope and change.
Everyone eligible (bottom 99% economically) for selective service may soon have to atone for the Fascist liars of ill repute dripping of bad foreign policy for decades.
Selective Service only applys to men in the USA. How come Obama denies women there fair share? I think it is sexist, unfair,, evil, and demeaning to women not allowing them to apply for Selective Service. Where is NOW are they working to resolve this issue?
Never do you hear about Selective Service when groups claim they want men and women to be treated the same.
Just starting slowly with the gays.
To be intellectually honest and fair to other women, I'd call up the Activist Feminists first.
how about reporting that is fair and balanced, russians in ukraine have requested these troops for law and order, new ukraine gov has said it wants nuke weapons and run by choas. thank God Putin will help them
The US has no right to interfere in Ukraine.
The president, Yanukovich (sp) was the legal elected ruler. They should have impeached him via their legal process. It would appear instead, paid fascists were ordered to overthrow the elected government.
Crimea is Russian. Period.
If The Queen orders US forces into action, I hope they revolt. They should have arrested the entire gang of traitors already.
The US citizens' Existential Threat are Enemies Domestic.
The Administration is actually run by Committee (of marxists) with the Chairman, Jarrett, having the final say. Bath House is then instructed to make a pre-written speech or sign an official document.
Deal with it, Americans, or otherwise enjoy the Hopelessness and Chains.
What are these "rights" that you are talking about? International laws only apply to those that can be easily dealt with. Just like the US, Russia goes to Parliament to get "approval" and to tie up the legal loose ends. Try telling a unit of attack helicopters and thousands of troops that they have no "right" to be here.
Ukraine is one of the top most coorupt states in Europe, who the f***k will defend this. Government and the state is, sorry to say, a big Joke. And medium income is $2500 a year, who want them in the EU, the country is a disater... but now the elite is baffling for Democracy and sovering rights. The had free elections, and chosed a bad choise.... what more can west do... ???
Even in the "golden" years of the USSR, they always got some local politicians to ask for them to come in and take them over.
It is only "Kulturny".
Exactly 'legal'.
Only 5 billion you say. Wonder if they used Bitcoin.
Please tell me I'm still going to live longer than Uncle Warren.
One funny movie about russia develeopment... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3gwyHNo7MI
Pandoras Box, alan curtis bbc
Obama smiles and giggles at the poker table with crap in his hand. Yes, you got nothing pal and everyone knows it.
Having drawn the line in the sand, having occupied the Crimea, having got the approval of the Russian Parliament, Putin now has to decide if he wants to go beyond the de facto occupation of his avowed "minimal" counter claim.
If he does then the East West divide is truly breached and the Cold War rebegins RIGHT ON his DOORSTEP. I don't think he wants to aggravate Mutti's EU and the West beyond keeping it on tenterhooks...As German money is essential for Russia now in deep economic doldrums in terms of growth.
If he doesn't push further militarily, he can then use economic means over the long haul to destabilise the Kiev clan now running the Ukrainian show. And let russophile elements of the Eastern regions stew in their economic attrition juices-- Ukraine is and will stay bankrupt--. By using agent provocateur means to feed the contrarian population claims for more autonomy; thus to win back eventually more pieces of the Ukrainian puzzle to Mother Russia's cause.
It means Ukraine gets destabilised and thus makes the EU front on the East a Trojan Horse for MUTTI'S OWN OST POLITIK GAME (as also for that of ally, Pax Americana).
Putin achieves more that way and he can afford to be patient; not so the EU now in political tatters (upcoming election uncertainty in EU Parliamnet, UK recalcitrance to stay in EU and the need to finance Ukraine, an additional strain on extended resources).
What is equally important in the Putin play is to see what this probable victory in Crimea means to Russian diplomatic deployment in Syria/Turkey and Iran/Iraq where Erdogan and the Sunnis are now all in total political disarray.
The fall out of Putin's upper hand in Crimea could be very fruitful for his upcoming plays in the ME.
Keep your eye on ME evolution now. It stays the OTHER cauldron.
Thank you for sharing this insightful post.
Good post. Putin doesn't want to occupy the country. He just wants Ukraine not to join EU/NATO
You should write the scrolling text that appears at the beginning of the new Star Wars movies.
Not so sure they are after German money, they can get some chinese loans and give a little bashing..
I think this issue is very urgent for Vlad to solve - and I think he will resort to everything in his arsenal - especially assassinations .. I expect lots of death, and I dont think I will be dissappointed .. everyone seems to under-estimate the importance of the Ukraine to Russia, and Vlad's proclivity for violence.
Hmmm, lots of dead banksters + Vlad=???
Remember, Russians-non jew Russians-- have it in for the Red Shield clan, and verse-visa. Red Shield backed Lenin. How long did Russia suffer under Red Shield-communism???
Very few are the brave ones who stand against the World Bankster Cartel and their secret leaders in the Red Shield Clan.
The USA is done for, but Russia fights on!
Didn't some guy named Hitler want to protect Germans living in Sudetenland? History repeating itself.
That's also how the Boer War started. British troops moved into the Transvaal to "protect" British miners.
Haha, the Brits bit off moar than they could chew against the Boers.
Remember, USA, guerilla war works every time!
Who was it, Gen Sir Redford Buller? Hard to remember right off.
What's the Plan, sir? Why, we simply march in. The Boers are no match for HM army! They will disperse. The gold and diamonds will be ours!
Yes - and Hitlers claims were legitimate - the Poles were coerced into rejecting the agreement in order to force Hitler into war. Learn your history properly - not that rubbish they teach you in propaganda school.
He even did what President O was not going to do in regards to Syria and went to his Kanagoo Parliament to rub it in his face...not much griclock up on that hill I suppose.
Well, I don't know what is happening on the next street over or what is happening half way around the world; but I do know that it would be nice to have a President who doesn't look like a limp-wristed, effeminate ass-clown....

Nuland's phone call seemed to imply that the US had a fair amount to do with stirring this mess up. I think the whole notion of starting a coup in Russia's backyard was ill conceived to say the least, particularly given the important strategic and cultural interests Russia has there. Does anyone really believe Russia doesn't see a hostile coup in Ukraine as an existential threat worth fighting for? Why are we so eager to start a war with a nuclear power like Russia? How is that likely to end up? Who is making these decisions?
The banksters are making the decisions for the west - they lost control of Russia during the fall of communism - they ahd it firmly in hand, and as the collapse went through they handed the power off to Jewish Russian oligarchs - whom Vlad has since managed to kick to the curb.
Vlad has placed loyal Russians in control of state assets that were stolen by the oligarchs (almost all of whom were Jewish) - he is in total control of Russia, and the banksters hate it. They are trying to grab the pipelines, and also possible Ukranian oil and gas assets which they can turn the screws on Russia - and attack it financially.
Putin is not a fool - to continue to fight, he must control the Ukraine - or at least have it in the hands of nuetral parties, not in the hands of the banksters - who have siezed Ukraine with the help of the CIA. This was a coup - but now the US and EU want to try and proclaim the current Ukranian govt legitimate ... Vlad bombed the living shit out of Chechnya because the CIA were pushing the muslims to force their way into Russia .. he will view this as a hell of a lot more serious than the business in Chechnya - he is going to rampage the fk all over these soft, simpering idiots who now hold 'power' in Ukraine .. they will be lucky to keep their lives after this, let alone power over the nation.
Putin knows that America's greatest strength is also its greatest weakness, and that is its ability to create money. If he is smart, and I think he is highly intelligent, he will not ignite another Cold War. Russia will sit back, like China, and watch western central banks crumble into dust. The people will revolt and the elite will beg Russia and China for help. The West is making Russia and China look like the good guys. Slip the jab, Vlad.
It almost sounds like a plan.
The red line has been crossed (many times)
Who wants to fire the first shot?
Don't worry the French africa corps, will be called back, and send Puttin in siberia
It's almost like they don't care what Obama says.
Not almost they just don't care...
Listened to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts' analysis at King World News. Very interesting take on the situation.
www.paulcraigroberts.org
How long before the Ukrainians call the Chechens for some advice? This is not going to end well.
Not likely. The Ukranians are Christians; not muslims.
Christians only fight when they have no alternative.
You mean like the Crusades?
"Kill them all, God will know his own."
If you want to know exactly the kind of person we are dealing with here in regards to Putin I highly suggest this documentary on him. It is a full length feature but I assure you well worth your time. This fella does not mess around.

Here's another analysis (posted a couple of hours ago)...http://vineyardsaker.blogspot.com/2014/03/some-kind-of-attack-on-crimea....
Putin makes his move while Obama blows (a gasket).
When Russia invaded Georgia there were American troops there already. What did those US troops do? Nothing; and that's what the US will do now. Nothing.
The US military has been destroyed by the Obama administration (banning Christianity, open homosexuality etc.). They have little morality left and the world knows it.
And they now only fight civilians.
If they had to fight real trained professionals they'd crumble.
If there are any NSA agents out there, and you want to capture terrorists, listen to the phone calls and read emails of CFR members and document their treasonous activities. Be a hero. Do something significant for a change.
Snowden seems to have been only one in ten thousand.
The U.S. has been using its military as a petri dish for morally questionable social engineering experiments for quite some time, now.
The U.S. Armed Forces are today a shadow of their former selves
Who cares how crap the US military is - it has NO BUSINESS being involved or even looking at this situation in Ukraine. Russia on the other hand, with its large ethnic population, even registered as Russian citizens, in Ukraine has every right.
Especially when the coup that took over the Ukraine was devised and implemented by the CIA/Mossad - this is an attack on Russia - it has every right to wipe out every US and EU asset and sympathizer in the Ukraine.
US troops in Georgia were only a small number of advisors and trainers,
not enough to actually fight.
Send an army of western central bankers and their attorneys from Basel to fight for the Ukranian military.
Excellent idea! They caused most of the problems; they can help fix it.
I would send the Queen too, but that would only encourage the other side.
Hey media complex / the information controllers: This is how you report. Thanks for the insightful post about this "situation".
Putin is smart.
Take the Ukraine and let Europe have the debt.
All the indebted fiat financed emerging market's loans are coming due !!
So they will all have to "choose sides" and hookup with their sugar daddy.
Global Reset approaches.
Dear Tyler Durdens,
Your increasingly knee-jerk, biased anti-Russian, pro EU US stances are perfectly ok as MSM opinion pieces. For those who don't follow MSM like sheeple, and who recognize the sad and gradual deterioration of Zero Hedge, this site gives another perspective (and there are many, many more)

Maybe you Tylers had better stick to financial reporting, because you sure are blowing it in the real world.

Here's a google translate of the lead article.
They talk of a Russia / Ukraine / Belorussia / Kazakstan alliance

Hmm - I didnt read this one as anti-Russian myself - but the one they put out regarding the last PM of Ukraine was definitely a propaganda piece.
Will Putin protect the Ukraine's bread basket from Monsanto's GMO poison? Millions of acres of fertile fields.
TELL MONSANTO TO DROP DEAD
i believe blackwater changed it's name to xe services no doubt working in ukraine along with mossad,cia and mi6.
One of the most incendiary details in the documents is that Blackwater, through Total Intelligence, sought to become the "intel arm" of Monsanto,

Yes, the farmland is just as important as the natural gas.
I can't wait to hear Zero's response to the Mexican President getting "permission to use the country's military.........to protect ethnic" Mexicans.
Mexico is sending the US its trash. These people cannot even read and write Spanish, let alone English. The US/Mexico border is a toilet that flushes on the US side of the border. Some wealthy Americans are moving to Mexico to escape the illiterate invasion of parasites.
Mexico has over 64 consulates in the US!
The people of Russia have spoken. Vlad has support from the Homeland. The CIA didn't expect that to happen. After Syria, they should have. The Queen has turned Putin into a popularist around the world. Is the clock ticking on the Queen's regime?
And everyone should've seen this coming.
You don't think being at the top of the table didn't give Putin a lot of pull with his people -- a people who largely support his anti-gay idiocies?
