Head Of Ukraine National Defense Council: "Ukraine Is Facing The Threat Of A Full-Scale Invasion From Various Directions"
A few moments ago we showed a map of the various Russian military units amassing near the Ukraine border (whose movements we had been tracking for the past several days), so the ongoing less than stealthy escalation by Russian forces in preparation for what by all accounts looks like a preparation to take on east Ukraine should come as no surprise to anyone. And yet, it appears to have surprised Othe head of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, Andriy Parubiy, who earlier today claimed that Russian forces near the border totaled more than 80,000 solders, 270 tanks, 370 artillery systems and 140 combat aircraft: precisely what Zero Hedge readers know already. His assessment: "Ukraine today is facing the threat of a full-scale invasion from various directions."
Aleksandr Golts, an author and military analyst, noted that the operations were not training exercises like the huge one Mr. Putin ordered at the end of February that require notification of neighboring states under a series of conventional arms agreements.
He added that the operations were clearly intended as a warning of Russia’s readiness to intervene, if necessary, noting that the parachute drop was on a scale not seen since the collapse of the Soviet Union. They also served to tie down Ukraine’s beleaguered military and prevent any effort to challenge the secession of Crimea.
“The goal is very clear: not to permit Ukrainian troops from moving toward Crimea,” he said. He later met with his national security council in Sochi.
As long that's the only goal. Interpreter adds:
While the Russian government claims that these are training exercises, it’s also worth noting that those have to be pre-announced to neighbors under conventional arms agreements. They were not. In fact, the existence of this mobilization was denied by the Kremlin until today.
It adds that the last time Russia conducted "drills", Crimea was quickly and quietly annexed. In the meantime, we hope Europe has a significant "Strategic Gas Reserve." It will likely need to use it quite soon.

This is important to understand.
It will be a wonderful blow to the NWO!
The important thing to understand is the Ukrainians have lived on that spot of land for centuries, even melenia. Now it is a battleground of oppsoing forces that do not live there.
NATO forces care not about the people of Ukraine and neither do Russian forces. The people of Ukraine are caught in the middle a war. It is a sad time in history when this happens.
Red Dawn, Crimean style.
Woverines!

Putin troups, get out western agitators... :D
It's a murderous rabbit, have you seen it's teeth?
Quickly, we must get out the Holy Handgrenade of Antioc!
Heh

Oh, geez, I remember that from the first movie:
"WOLVERINES!!!!"
Did they include it in the second? You know, the one where North Korea invades the USA ... I think Thor saved us or something.
Ukraine is facing the threat of full scale invasion from various directions.
Of course, we didn't mind the CIA slipping in here to get the ball rolling.
"Ukraine?! Ukraine is weak!"
The Westerly Bankster-Invasion is the highest threat! Oh by the way; where's your Gold Bullion???
Nyet...some are highly offended
"The important thing to understand is the Ukrainians have lived on that spot of land for centuries, even melenia."
No they haven't. Like 99% of the earth it was Colonized by different peoples at different times. The Greeks, Romans and Byzantines all had colonized the land in the past. Then the Goths took it over, then the huns Bulgars and Khazars.
So what we learn from history is that land belongs to those that can keep it.
In other words you're saying that he with the bigger Bulgars wins?
Putin put...it bigger than Bernanke's putter.
No shit sherlock. Like I said, centuries.....even mellenia. And don't doubt that there is the same blood in some of those individuals since the year ZERO.
Greeks? Thousands of years ago. Romans? thousands of years ago. Byzantines? Goths? Bulgars? Khazars?
Oh and you just prove my point. People are going about their lives, as farmers and as community members, and foreigners roll in and fuck everything up.
Thanks for proving my point you little fucking know it all.
You don't have any Bulgars and your Khazar is inverted

Not only are my Bulgars biggers than yours I have the Avars to prove it
People are going about their lives, as farmers and as community members, and foreigners roll in and fuck everything up.
That's life and history, if you have a problem with this you can file your grievance with a community organizer. If your land is frozen over or you live in a disease infested jungle, you generally don't have to worry about foreigners rolling in and fucking everything up.
You fucking asshole. I'm pointing out that history is repeating itself - and a history of greed and bloodlust - and you say too bad. Imagine if I and a gang of thieves tore your neighborhood apart and there was nothing you could do. Oh right, you can't, because you are an asshole.
Is your feeling upset going to change anything? I'm just pointing out the human condition that has existed forever. If you and a gang of thieves tore my neighborhood apart, we'd cut your head off and then go find your women and children and make them our slaves, how's that.
Exactly. You would seek revenge. War begets war. This is a horrible cycle and the people living in Ukraine are about to be caught up in it, like many times before.
Ummm, is it really any different today than it was all along history? The world has been, and will continue to be a tinder box! pffft
White hats black hats..what about the gray hats?
What's a "mellenia" ?
A fucking long time mate!

Indeed. Anyone in the US who thinks ethnicity is the rule of the land, should find a nearest Indian, hand him the keys to his apartment and take the first boat back to Spain, Italy, Britain or France or wherever the occupants of his inhabited plot of land originated.
... oh, and the Indian should go find the nearest viking and pass the keys along before vacating the premises.
Regarding Europe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQf-PZWFMzY
Disagree...euro type preceded...but that news is much supressed.
dna research now supports that those who later became know as native americans were latecomers.
Nations migrate constantly. Borders shift. Who has the right to occupy any region in this planet? I'd ask god, but he's been ignoring my phonecalls.
Who has the right to call squat, anywhere? Hell, he who has the biggest stick wins, bitches!
Comparing NATO's disposition towards Ukraine with Russian disposition is ludicrous. Countless families are scattered across both countries. There is no cultural or ideological difference between Ukrainians (especially in the south-east) and Russians. What the WEST does not understand is that it's not dealing with a disgruntled neighbor, but a wayward son. In the end, he will always go home.
If East Ukraine were not East Ukraine, but was part of Russia you would be right. If we are going to start to carve up Nation-States by ethnicity we have a lot of work to do.
Ukraine as a nation has not really existed. See Jack Burton's post here.
"Ukraine A History" Orest Subtelny is best book to learn in real
Soul Glow, Ukraine has never been much of an indepenent nation or united eithnic entity. I suggest a refresher course the historical background. This land has been in constant flux for all of history, and Ukrainians as a Russian entity was first created in Kiev by the Vikings. Start with that point, it's been over a thousand years of conquests and battles. Lithuainia ruled, Poland ruled, Russia ruled. That place called Ukraine is not united as a nation, it never, ever in the course of human history has been a real united nation and ethinc entity. Today's situation is nothing new, look back and you see this is all playing out to centuries of conflict.
It is not justifiable for anyone, be they NATO or the military forces of Russia, to fight for that land. It should be solved diplomatically. That is my point - war is going to bring more problems to the region.
And it is not the United States of America's business, nor that of NATO's either.
Jack, something you may find interesting is this article by Pepe Escobar from yesterday, especially this paragraph:
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Central_Asia/CEN-01-120314.html
See yesterdays RT (Russia Today) "Crosstalk"
Pepe was guest. His assessment makes most sense.
It is kinda hard to find to replay the program, but it is there...

Don't you think Putin's move was to tank our markets, just like his are tanking? Tit for Tat I say, bluster all the way...how far he'll go, we'll see!
Exactly
"Ukraine A History" Orest Subtelny
yet, its not the first time, as this is a repeating story with milions of ukrainians left dead...
on the other hand, ukrainians have a long history of fighting invaders with real guns. Bandera fought russians and germans. Machno fought comunists, germans, austrians, whites. Both of them commit to alliance with one occpupying power, both of them lost.
Ukraine is in deep shit, becasue of foreign powers corrupting its elite and keep the nation weak and exploited. thats why country has made the least economic progress out of all surrounding nations after fall of comunism, basicaly their GDP is at around '89 levels
This was an artificial crisis fomented out of nothing by Neocons and NWO trypes. They don't know or care what potentially terrible forces they might have unleashed.
"The important thing to understand..." is that Ukraine faces penetration from multiple (financial and political) erections.
They're screwed, no matter how you look at it.
They don't call him Vlad the impaler for nothing.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Fight Club!
In the red corner we have the midget ex-spy chief and pedophile, Vladimir Putin!
In the blue corner we have the limp-wristed poser and suspected Muslim sympathizer, Barack Obama!
This is surely a fight for our times! Let's get ready to RUUUUUUUMMMMBBBLLLE!
Putin is attacking because nobody will stand in his way.
The entire world is a pussy and he knows it.
Mister we could use a man like Neville Chamberlain again
I think we've already got several...
But you are not?
Putin is also a homophobe. However, he did give Snowden asylum, so he has some redeeming qualities. Regardless, I am curious as to how sabre rattling with Russia benefits the 50 million Americans currently on food stamps.
:shrug:
Bullshit. Putin will attack shirtless wearing see through leopard skin leggings and you will love it
Lol!
(and on horseback)
It goes without saying
riding a ritz cracker
Bareback, wearing a Viking hat. (both Putin and the horse)
flux homophobes are the good guys remmeber that faggot.
You sound like a sad Obama voter.
Nah, he sounds like trailer trash ... wait ... did they vote Obama?

If Putin backs down he is finished.
He must take this fight to Kiev.
Otherwise you get another Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, PIGS freedom team USA democracy in Ukraine and Russia.
IE...Fascism!
don't forget that Andriy Parubiy, the guy who is warning about an invasion, is a founder of the ukrainian neonazi party
In 1991 he founded the far-right Social-National Party of Ukraine together with Oleh Tyahnybok
So a nazy crying because bad russians does not want to give them the time to rebuild a nuclear arsenal ?
sounds more legit

And this differs from the "Dancing With The Stars" crowd how?
The Founders of the US want the US to NOT get tangled in the affairs of other nations. The neo-cons want you to see this as a macho thing so that they can unleash their Krakens (which give them business).
Name-calling and such is infantile.
That's funny. You think that president Zero rules America. That piece of shit is just the show, although he is a good representation of what America has become. The real rulers of this country are hiding in the shadows.

Flo is big insurance.
"Twink" lol. That's a funny one. From now on I'm calling fruits "twinks."

Global Economic Collapse “SOON” bitchezz
Look at gold!
Hangin' tuff

Lets be clear who we mean when we say "Global Collapse"! Western banking and MIC is who will be collapsing in this coming showdown. The Chinese and Russian people along with their ruling classes, have already prepared their people for a "struggle" and those people are on board with it!
The West hasn't done shit but talk crazy delusional fairy tale talk, confuse, and outright lie to its populations, so where do you think the panic and collapse will be happening at???
Remember that at the beginning of WWII, the US had the worlds 19th most powerful and equipped military!!!!! Russia and China aren't at 19 bitchez and that's who we want to fuck with, United!!!

But Kerry said they didn't have enough troops in place to invade...?
Kerry is especially fond of the heavy cavalry.
pods
no army in three hundred years has won without heavy horse
I know, right? What's this bozo worried about? He's already got Kerry's "expert" opinion on the situation.
I'm not worried. Then again, I don't live in Ukraine.
I will with-hold my concurrence until McStain gets on site and has his diarrhea of the mouth
Not to worry ....Victoria (Nuland) Nudleman Kagan is on her way ....soon!
FYI Tyler, EU regulations require a 90 day nat gas storage for each country at typical consumption rates.
The Maastricht Treaty was a firm law with 'overlooked' enforcement just as is - I'd guess - this 90-day storage regulation.
As broke as all those countries are, like most others around the world, and this being the end of a very cold winter, what is the likelihood of those storage tanks beng full?
Natural gas storage is a minor detail without corresponding crude oil storage, certain things can't be moved by bicycle, even if the light switches are functioning...
Karma's a bitch, Andriy, ain't it? (pin this fucker down and make him come clean about the snipers)
The E.U. and the U.S. have a pair of deuces and three three's, respectively.
Russia has a royal flush and is getting ready to go all-in.
How long would it take for NATO to respond if the "government" of Ukraine asked for help? Those AWACS aren't buzzin over Poland researching migratory bird routes.
Betcha there have been a few bottles of scotch consumed over the European chessboard in the past 2-3 weeks.

God help us all. I look around at all the world leaders and weep. Almost every country in the world is now being run by the most corrupt members of their own respected societies and these are the same people tasked with avoiding WW3. I wake up every morning looking at that day as a true blessing.
The world loves a trilogy!
They are all smart people, faced with growing population and ongoing, unfixable scarcity.
There is no solution. Not for them. Not for anyone.
The direction of society is down. Forever.
R u tryin' to cheer us up?
The world has always had its share of lunatic "leaders." Difference today is that the human population is of such a staggering size and resource depletion is hitting terminal velocity. It's always happened, just not at this scale... We're all in this encapsulated boat together, wanting to get a peek at what's outside, not knowing what is up and what is down- looking to shoot holes in hopes that we can see out (and we're not shooting the bottom out). Do you feel lucky? well, do ya, punk? (paraphasing Dirty Harry)
At least we got global warming to look forward to!
Pull them all out, don't you?
Climate change is REAL, just as evolution is. Stay stuck on the political games and die...
Bullshit of biggest order!
Russia will not invade anybody. Let the people vote!
Don't lose hope!
As the Prince of Darkness or is it dankness never rests...
Sure hope whatever it is the U.S. is bringing into Ukraine is of the "low intensity non-tactical/non-thermo" variety.
Wouldn't want to be wearing that professional Blackwater/Xi/Academi "Bear claw" insignia when one of them gets captured for a nice little chat in a cozy basement somewhere in Moscow!
Just cancelled my SilverSea cruise to St Petersburg.....
A good move considering the PR campaign from your government (assuming you're American) is not helping for a pleasant visitation to that part of the World -let alone anywhere else for that matter.
Always wanted to see the Hermitage, but that idea and dream is permanently a foregone conclusion…
Wouldn’t want to be an American in Eastern Europe after what we’ve done and are continuing to do to it!
The Hermitage is lovely. Watching "Russian Ark" is an easier way to 'visit'. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318034/
I hear you. But what a profoundly sad statement and consolation gift that is.
"Wouldn’t want to be an American in Eastern Europe after what we’ve done and are continuing to do to it!"
Is there really ANY place safe? (Canada, perhaps) My wife is from the Philippines and I wouldn't even assume that I could be safe there (and we're not talking about the South!) as things continue to pucker. Lots of "interesting" history is known/lived by folks outside the US... and when the bully no longer is seen as a threat folks tend to start testing it (taking punches.
Don't get me started Seer.
What the U.S. military did in the Philippines is beyond words starting with the Philippine-American war and ending with our disengagement in the early 90's.
I don't want to even begin to tell you how badly we treated the people during the Vietnam years.
Beyond disgraceful.
Still am working to complete the dual citizenship (with a country normally called Eastern Europe). Not sure I will get it completed but hey.....

Maybe they're just tourists.
Yeah, those commerical cruise ship outfits' track records are getting to be rather poor. Great way for a govt to boost its revenues!
Good point. That's just how I see myself, as a semi-permanent tourist somewhere within a statist controled world.
Reminds me a lot of my 'ex' wife!

Surrender already.
We've got March Madness to worry about. Wonder how my brackets doing?
Perhaps Mr Andriy Paruiby doesn't recall what happened the leader of Georgia, Mr Shakisvelli, when he was led to believe by Condi Rice that the US had his back?
The neo cons, otherwise known as chicken hawks, are up to their same old tricks... I see little difference in this situation than what happened in Georgia and related Russian provinces.
Chicken hawks stir a lot of shit with their NGOs. Then the Bankers/IMF/ Fed/ et al, run in and steal the Ukraine gold and all else they can carry, then run away... leaving the fools that believed they had backing from US/NATO looking for a hole to hide in. Economic hit men at work. Chicken hawks confine their 'shock and awe' to the likes of Iran, Libya, Afganistan, etc.
The chicken hawks will never take on a nuke armed country with a first rate military. US state dept is a joke and Kerry is an azz hat.
Putin has seen this show before.
you are a misserable coward and an anti semite.
like all jews georgian hero sackasvilli is strong getting stronger
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyNocJFUloA
lol... I didn't know Sackasvilli is a Jew and could care less about his religious convictions... perhaps Sack is getting stronger but it will be a cold day in hell before he believes that the US/NATO has his back in another confrontation with Russia.
Nothing really new here... US bankers climbed into bed with financial backing for Hitler prior to and during WW2.
Why not US bankers + neo nazis in the Ukraine now?
If I were you I would concern myself with what will happen to Russian speaking Jews and non Jews when/if the neo nazis in West Ukraine manage to consolidate power... an unlikely outcome thanks to Russian intervention.
ass backwards...more like what will happen to so called neonazi when their usefullness used up...

John McCain, 2008: "We're all Georgians now."

BTW, good to have you back, Mr. Whipsnae.
"The chicken hawks will never take on a nuke armed country with a first rate military. US state dept is a joke and Kerry is an azz hat."
They're playing parts!
I would rather NOT them act out in real life. Again, it should not be the concern of the US, which means I would prefer that Kerry jumps up and down and looks stupid as THE show and not as the distraction from the mercs operating backstage...
Hang in! The Kenyan will be back from his March Break holiday in Florida before long!
cut the hate peepulls.
head of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, Andriy Parubiy IS NOT A NAZI OK.
if he was why would he spend so much time hangin and chillin with mossad with nuland and soros and all the other jewish bank folks.
do you not udderstand if he was a nazi he would not be such a friend to this poor abused tribe.
did you not see the tv show hitler was a nazi?
it said he did not like spileberg looking folks and he killed them alll
all of them killed dead that is a tv fact.
next you fuckers will be saying bin ladin was a cia asset and libya was about sweet light oil and gold bars.

Russia Annexing Crimea is the Cost of US/EU intervention in Ukraine
By Michael Scheuer, Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity
http://thenewsdoctors.com/?p=124899
BUT... who said that Russia was going to annex Crimea?
Quite possible that it's all propaganda to accept this concept, when, in fact, there's no actual proof that Russia is doing that (rather than Crimea requesting to be annexed). Give some thought about this all works, read what Paul Craig Roberts wrote:
http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2014/03/05/propaganda-rules-news-paul-cr...
It's a brinksmanship and bandwidth issue: if you got them playing Defense (in Ukraine), they can't max out on Offense (in Crimea).
Yo Putz. You've been invaded by the tribe of warmongering New Bolsheviks.
Besides, DC, NY and London would LOVE to break up the Germany/EU and Russia growing alliance.
It's a zero-sum game for them. Think: Who benefits?
Actually, no one benefits.
The US is delusional if it thinks there is any benefit from sabotaging a developing zone of peace around the entire northern hemisphere.
... listening yesterday to this 'nut-job' Garry Kasparov, {( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry_Kasparov )( http://johnib.wordpress.com/2014/03/07/garry-kasparov-cut-off-the-russian-oligarchs-and-theyll-dump-putin/ )} a self proclaimed chess-diety? Whatever!
The guy is a 50 year old, bonafide idiot with a posterior teenage brain! This hubris, and narcissistic Apollo-wannabe has surely been smitten'd by Daedalus himself!?!
His analysis of Putin, as a 2nd rate poker-player, and of course... he, being the second-coming of rationale-exuberance and beautiful mind being his excalibur! What a fucking, joke! Period!
A good black-smyth like Vlad... with thy hammer and anvil, could make cannon-fodder of this Kasparov`Arthurian excalibur and his blustering chimerical tomfoolery.
But, there's moar to this chess-match evolving amongst the world's greatest minds, applauded only by the MSM claque's of the USSA/ CFR's world!
Don't be shy,... get on up here Mister, or is it, Doctor Strangelove Zbigniew Brzezinski {( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zbigniew_Brzezinski )(http://www.oilempire.us/zbig.html )} the architect of america's demise? This backdoor communist from Canada via Eastern (still fighting ... 66 years a Polish Resistance to what?) Europe is now the leading authority of our braintrust? Strange!!! Where the fuck do these guys/gals come from: Albright, Kissinger, Brzezinski etel.?
He's now Obi1's point man on foreign policy, and his daughter a shill of canned-laughter at MSNBC. She's in good company although, with Mathews (just don't stain by suitcoat?), a non-sequitor anomaly of Sir Paralxogism... MSM Trilogy! WFT!!!
Lastly, we have to realize that people actually listen to this inane duopoly. It's tyme to call their bluff with a moral highground built on common sense and integrity to show their misguided logic as what it is-- pure unadulterated propaganda!!!
jmo
Thanks for fortifying my position that the POTUS doesn't really do long-term strategy, that it's all these old-guards pulling the strings.
I don't, however, think that the folks at this high of level give a crap about what game is being played as long as they have power. Seen in this light it comes down to what it always comes down to: power. And power right now is unraveling for most as resource depletion is really starting to exert itself on the grow-or-die system...
Hmmm...WWIII is the best solution to the world economy we can muster?
Damn...would it help the situation to "calm down" if someone were to assasinate Putin right now? Just trying to think outside the box...
Ukraine,
Europe and the US won't do sh*t for ya. Sorry.
Maybe once Vlad eyes Estonia and Romania (Carpathian mountains Vlad wants that bad)...freaking our Poland. Maybe...
UK has no ecomomy except for property prices ala the Russian's and Chinese, Germany is joke, the rest of Europe is hanging on by a c-hair.
estonia still has military apart from latvia and lietuva(no conscription, which means they have few thousand professional soldiers), but our politicians are working hard dismantling our defence capability which might hold for few weeks until nato arrives, but as we have seen with ukraine, it takes weeks to even get a statement out of nato officials, let alone do anything abut it.
what is interesting though, is that russia is moving troops(3000 men) to Finnish border by opening some old bases.
