The Ukraine-Russia Standoff Escalates - Live Feed
With Ukraine military spokespersons acknowledging that military snipers were in action around the base in Semferopol and blood having been spilled:
- *UKRAINIAN INSTALLATION SEIZED BY UNIDENTIFIED GUNMEN: SELEZNYOV
- *UKRAINIAN MILITARY UNIT UNDER ARREST IN CRIMEA: SELEZNYOV
it would appear - as the Ukraine PM warned - that the situation has "moved from the political to military stage." While things are quiet once again outside the military base, the following live feed will cover events as night falls...
Forget about that truce. #Ukrainian army units under attack today. #Ukraine #Russia #RussiaInvasion #Crimea pic.twitter.com/JhXXoBynju

With pro-Russia militia in control of the base:
Russian troops and pro-Russian militia completely in control of base. Russian flag flying. Militias completely surrounding it.

Popcorn hour bitchez!
Looks like someone got a nose bleed to me. MSM blowing things up again.
Piers Shoefield had time to add contrast to his instagram photo lol
I was searching for news that would explain the sudden ramp in ES, TF, & NQ, and this seems as good as any. The TIKQ, TIKRL just had a 3 sigma over-the-top move. I guess war is good for US Stocks
the ramp job is probably meant to convey the impression that all is under control... that Russia has not totally blown up zato's plans... NWO is working just fine... honest.
MSM pumping.
Lost plane, old news, need more people dying somewhere else.
The next “line” is going to be a BROWN skid mark inside of the famous white golfing shorts ;-)
Looney
my roids bleed that much everyday......and 1 guy took over.....what were they french...ill be here all week...tip ur waitors
All this prattle on ZH against the neocon's bloodlust and you buggars are making light of shed bled in battle?
Piss off, you hypocrits!
DaddyO
Russians and Ukrainians shooting at each other is pure eveil. Only Amerika could bring such to fruition. I blame Hollywood.
nihilists
Looks like Piers had his period and it dripped thru his panties
Having been a victim of several nose bleeds in life, that was the first thing that popped on my head when I saw that picture.
We need a picture of some blood.
There isn't any, sir.
Smack! Now there is.
"Blood'll be born in the birth of a nation..."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRJKOtM-onM
Also in the death of a nation...
MSM is as bloodthirsty as the vampire after long and shiny summer, they want to see and imagine every drop of somebody else's blood. MSM is an informational sponsor of violence.
Market does not care...To the Moon Alice!
A CCPC (canvas covered personnel carrier) is not the same as an APC.
thank you, captain obvious
Perhaps you have difficulty interpreting sarcasm/cynicism?
I thought they were CCCPs: Canvas Covered Carriers of Personnel
That was the pre-1991 designation.
War Bitchezz!!
Bullish!!
Does this at least mean that the bad guys in James Bond movies can be Russian again?
Bring back Boris and Natasha....
Hey Rockie! Watch me pull a rabbit outta my hat!
I hope Asst Sec of State Victoria (Nuland) Nudleman Kagan is proud of herself with all the hatred she instigated!? She's a real prize package indeed!
Of course the soul-less bitch is proud of this, it's what's she's paid to do...
She has 'Angel of Death' written all over her!
Don't say that, when she was but a wee young thing/lass she reminded me of Anne Frank. All that changed after her Bat Mitzvah.
That tribal honey is both heartless & stupid .... an exceptionally dangerous & lethal combo!
A pox to all war hawks.
dont be a bitch Putin dumb the USD!
No, someone just picked a scab on their shin.
They put neosporin on it and the invasion is called off.
Major T. J. "King" Kong: Well, boys, I reckon this is it - nuclear combat toe to toe with the Roosskies. Now look, boys, I ain't much of a hand at makin' speeches, but I got a pretty fair idea that something doggone important is goin' on back there. And I got a fair idea the kinda personal emotions that some of you fellas may be thinkin'. Heck, I reckon you wouldn't even be human bein's if you didn't have some pretty strong personal feelin's about nuclear combat. I want you to remember one thing, the folks back home is a-countin' on you and by golly, we ain't about to let 'em down. I tell you something else, if this thing turns out to be half as important as I figure it just might be, I'd say that you're all in line for some important promotions and personal citations when this thing's over with. That goes for ever' last one of you regardless of your race, color or your creed. Now let's get this thing on the hump - we got some flyin' to do.
Truly one of the best movies of all time.
That movie is about to be played out in reality. I am at DEFCON 1.78
General Jack D. Ripper: The base is being put on Condition Red. I want this flashed to all sections immediately.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Condition Red, sir, yes, jolly good idea. That keeps the men on their toes.
General Jack D. Ripper: Group Captain, I'm afraid this is not an exercise.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Not an exercise, sir?
General Jack D. Ripper: I shouldn't tell you this, Mandrake, but you're a good officer and you've a right to know. It looks like we're in a shooting war.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Oh, hell. Are the Russians involved, sir?
A poor second by a country mile to this....
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility,
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favored rage,
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect,
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon, let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a gallèd rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swilled with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English,
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof,
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument.
Dishonor not your mothers. Now attest
That those whom you called fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture. Let us swear
That you are worth your breeding, which I doubt not, KING HENRY
Attack the breach in the city wall once more, dear friends, attack it once more—or else let’s close it up with English corpses. In peacetime, nothing looks better in a man than restraint and humility. But when the battle trumpet blows in our ears, then it’s time to act like the tiger. With muscles taut and blood stirred up, hide your civilized nature under the guise of ugly rage. Lend your eyes a terrifying gleam and let them jut out from the portholes of the head like brass cannon. Make your brow jut out over your eyes like a frightening cliff over the wild and desolate ocean. Now grit your teeth and let your nostrils flare. Take a deep breath and draw on every impulse to its fullest strength. On, on, you noblest Englishmen, descended as you are from battle-tested fathers, fathers who, like so many Alexander the Greats, have fought in these regions from morning until night, sheathing their swords only when there was no one left to fight. Don’t dishonor your mothers! Prove that the men you call your fathers did truly conceive you. Serve as an example to men of common birth and teach them how to fight. And you, good farmers, whose limbs were made in England, show us here the vigor of your upbringing. Prove you are worthy of your birth, which I do not doubt for a moment. For there isn’t one of you so low-born that your eyes don’t shine with noble luster. I see you’re standing like greyhounds
Sounds purty too!!!!!!!
Tyler, that photo shows Ukrainian forces on the move, not Russian.
Re: Ukrainian forces on the move, not Russian
With those eyebrows, they all look alike to me.
It's now time for Team America..
Fuck yeah!
Not to be a cynic, but with some very very basic knowledge of splatter patterns (really none at all), one could produce such a photo with a pen knife and a cellphone...
Or just a few red pens
No two bullet wounds are the same, but a lot of times a bullet, upon impact, will produce a mist rather than droplets that fall straight down. Also, that doesn't look like a place where someone fell or crawled. It doesn't look like a trail, either. It looks like someone was stationary while bleeding, like from a bloody nose. I'm not saying it was a bloody nose, I'm just saying it the stains look concentrated like the source of the blood was stationary.
You really think that Bill Kristol did that?
sounds bullish buy the fukkin s&p
honestly, i cut my ball sack one time shaving it and i bled more than that.
Don't use the hedge trimmers then...
'Pressflow' errors...I think ZH is on overload.
moved
.
Ukrainian nazis are envious of Hitler's fate it seems..
Speaking of live feeds, isn't it about time for Zero to be telling us what's good for us, and how he is rolling up his sleaves and is focused like a laser to fix everything?
He's getting out his pen and his phone right now as we speak.
Take that you pesky Roosskies.
get the whole thing on youtube pls
In the kind of news that can REALLY start WW3...
http://hvylya.org/news/exclusive/turtsiya-prigrozila-perekryit-bosfor-es...
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan yesterday spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the phone and warned of the consequences of the conflict with Ukraine.
According to him, the last meeting of the honorary leader of the Crimean Tatars Mustafa Cemil and Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan discussed Reydzhepa threat Crimean Tatars in connection with the aggressive policy of Russia , which is organized and has organized a separatist referendum March 16, 2014 .
During this meeting, Cemil cited the murder Crimean Tatar in early March by unknown persons .
After a conversation with Mustafa Erdogan Dzhemileva on March 16 called Vladimir Putin and warned him that if Russia invades Ukraine , as well as the self-proclaimed authority or if the so-called . Crimea will take self-defense violence against Crimean Tatars , the Republic of Turkey will be forced to close the Black Sea straits to Russian ships.
In other news...
US official says Putin may invade E Ukraine. "But if he does that, it will be civil war. + it will be bloody + long."
IDF Jeep Hit By Explosion Near Syrian Border Killing One Soldier... IAF Targeting Several Military Sites In Syria
Apparently, nobody has thought much about Cuba recently. We'll see if that changes.
Anyway this scenario looks more and more like WW1... Tartars hate the Russians... how long before they start killing some of them, Russia goes hardcore on them, Turkey goes nuts, Russia fights back, NATO comes in... WW3 begins....
Anyways, in other news...
#Ukraine navy at 8 ships in Donuzlav harbor got ultimatum from Russian part to surrender by 10 pm tonight, otherwise - "zachistka by force".
Usually I would call BS on that but after the referendum and today's events... hmmm...
According to whoever, most Crimean Tatars voted to join Russia. I don't know if I believe that.
Correct with turkey. Russians have wanted Constantinople back in orthodox hands for about 500 years. Reminds me of some other historical event involving Crimea...
Istanbul, not Constantinople
Istanbul, not Constantinople
Why did they change the name?
Leave it to the Turks
Similarly , leave Crimea to the Russians----it's not our business Nuland
Constantinople was known, in Greek, as " i Poli " - the city.
Everyone in that part of the world, when they were proceeding towards Constantinople, aka" the city "... would say they're going " stin Poli " ( to the city ), or.. in non-contracted Greek " eis tin Poli " - * eis-tin-Poli * --- > * Is-tan-bul * ----> Istanbul in bastardized turkish accent/dialect at the time.
For the most part, I think Greeks still call her by her free name.

Getting the loose ends squared away so if there is combat these distractions are gone and all forces can be used.
Erdogan is too weak right now, Turks have a lot of money invested in Russia, I doubt they would throw their regime under the bus for a few Tatars in Crimea
He is in serious political trouble and he needs to show his " strength " - an external conflict may be just the turkish delight the doctor ordered to square his domestic house ( for now ).
Just I don't know if throwing rocks at the bear just about now is a wise course of action. Turkey is like a lesser, more bloodthirsty USA - picks on smaller countries with what it perceives are limited strike-back capabilities. Erdogan may *just* be desperate enough to grab the bear by the tail...
Erdogan is at risk of getting overthrown by opposition so he needs to find an external enemy quick
Oh shit, Zero Hedge is already reporting on Syria! Quickly, whack a few people in Ukraine!
As of right now, precious metals and their manipulators do not agree there's any risk of escalation to be worried about so the PM beat down from yesterday continues. I'm loving where AU:AG ratio currently stands.
So, Blackwater didn't leave at all then?
Are the Russian liberating the Ukraine?
S&P HOD, up 20 points now on Putin's takeover of Crimea!, this really is The Trueman Show
Some sources are reporting 2 Ukrainian soldiers killed...
I said redlines not red dots....signed dear leader
I'm confused. In the Live Feed, are those Crimeans (Ukrainians) or Russians?
those are new Ukranian Guardia - basically Kiev is recruiting new army forces because those maidan protesters were mostly jobless youth which has nothing to do now so they are trying to put them to some good use in the new guardia
This obviously calls for sanctions. Where is Kerry? Oh, wait. Crimea is Russia? When the hell did that happen? Isn't that 'unlawful'...or something?
Fucking western clown show in progress, folks..
sign the papers old man.... 'I can not sign zee papers'
The US/EU need to put a cap on their Neo Nazi's. This can turn very ugly fast because these psycho's are truly out of control. But then, the Rothschild and company are providing the orders as when war starts, the money starts rolling in for these bloody money banksters.
No one will be allowed to make money on the short side of this thing. They will simply blow it as high as they can on no volume. When there are pics of people dying they'll drop it 300 points in 2 seconds
Just heard on Russian radio - one Russian diplomat in Geneva says many foreign diplimats are coming to unofficially express support if Russia because despite their official countries'positions being defined by Washington, they personally and their elites feel delughted that somebody finally stops US agression against the World.
Bots/HFTs don't understand war. Their task is to make money off the moves.
Yawn...
Wake me up when the Russians have captured "Blackwater" mercs attempting to blow something up or killing someone...
Wave Hi to the camera and tell your Mom and Dad you're fine!
Well, youtube is doing what it's told.
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/youtube-blocks-kremlin-funded-russia-today-chan...
as are the Ukrainian neo nazis.
as is Turkey?
Ivan won't stand for that, of course. Which Turkey and NATO must be counting on.

"UPDATE 14:07 A YouTube spokesperson told IBTimes UK: "This problem was a result of a technical glitch. We fixed the problem and apologise for the inconvenience."
UPDATE: RT's YouTube Channel is back online with no explanation given for its suspension."

Theres always rt.com and presstv.com to counter the cnn/nbc/fox/abc/cbs agit prop.

Of course, it's tough to know which lies to believe.
Of course, you don't have to actually "believe" anything at all.
Belief is a tool.
There is probably more violence in Detroit in an hour than there has been during this whole Ukraine occupation.
Yet another wonderful U.S. Foreign Relations success story & Coup!
The world just can't seem to get enough of U.S. self interest interference & meddling into places and affairs where they are not welcome nor belong!
Long live the military complex! May they continue to reign pain and suffering on the innocent & defenseless throughout the world!
I match your 2 red lines and raise you a stern warning and 3 sanctions. Wait....what game are we playing?...darn it....I still had my get out of hell free card.
The Ukranians must have a death wish to go engage in warfare with Russia. Perhaps the EU is telling them "We have your back." Trust at your peril.
