Postcards From The Russia-Ukraine Border

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With Ukraine troops being redeployed to other regions on the mainland - as the government appears to have folded on Crimea protection efforts but pledges to "defend our land" - we thought some postcards from the tip of the spear would be useful...

  • *RUSSIA TRY TO GRAB EAST UKRAINE WOULD BE ANSWERED: YATSENYUK
  • *UKRAINE PM YATSENYUK PLEDGES TO `DEFEND OUR LAND'
  • *RUSSIA TRY TO GRAB EAST UKRAINE WOULD SPARK MILITARY REPLY: PM

But

  • *UKRAINE HOPES FOR PEACEFUL RESOLUTION WITH RUSSIA: YATSENYUK

 

Life ain't fun on the border...

morning...

 

noon...

and night...

 

Until mom turns up with some food...

 

 

 

The people are 'revolting'

 

Traffic's a bitch in town

 

And country...

 

But they have dug a trench to stop the Russian tanks...

 

And troops continue to train in hand-to-tank combat...

 

But life can be a minefield...

That "and country..." video is awesome. Footage of Cold War Warsaw Pact hardware set to classic 90s dance music. Can't beat it!

Let's just call them "vehicles", not tanks.

Well, I may be rusty on my comm-bloc armaments, but It appears you're correct, not all of those are tanks. Some look like self-propelled artillery. 

Anyone have a copy of Janes handy?

Yeah I don't think those tanks could even go up against a WW2 Panzer or Tiger Tank let along a British Matilda LOL

"Rythym Is a Dancer"-bitchez. that guy in the Trabant has some set of stones yelling at those guys in the personnel carrier- imagine doing that to some PTSDed US troops- they'd stitch you up with that fucking cannon.

When Yatsenyuk says "defend our land" does he mean Ukraine or Israel?

Great song, bass, guitar and drums.  Marxists from Leeds(?).   They are still playing with singer and guitarist.

Yats the illegal PM of illegal Keiv govtt want sto start disarming the people who (illegally) brought him to power.

NY Times (NWO-AIPAC mouthpiece) has a story and the militias and citizens of the bankrupt Ukriane state with no legal govt have to turn in their guns.   Sounds like the criminal scum in Connecticut trying to disarm the public.

That trench might stop a riding lawnmower,  maybe.

Thought we had a duty to defend Ukraine,  guess not, off to China instead, some sports center, loose shoes, a tight Reggie Love and a warm place to shit.

Did you take them out in Iraq?  Yep they dont have any reactive armor.  Only good for bullet stoppage.

Thats all they need them for in this situation, but more so for civilian show. If you were to go against those tanks like in Iraq you would be going against capable missiles and nukes next.

If Russia decides to take Eastern Ukraine the Ukrainian army will last about five minutes.

If the Russians decide to come over the border, their Air Force will arrive first to neutralize the opposition.  

Hopefully the Urkainian military will preclude such a scenario, by deciding it is time to pay a visit to Kiev and remove the fascists from power, before they can organize and arm their new Ukrainian Brownshirt "self-defense" forces.

They reported that there was a huge fire in tank division in Krivoy Rog city in Ukraine - they just tried to turn the tank on....
Ukraine has no army, they sold and stole the most mighty group of armies USSR had on its Western border. Only 50 years old tanks are left... Ukraine is a failed state, they just hope somebody will take care of them, just they think the EU will keep feeding them better than Russia...

So this post is going to be some serious geek shit:

I kind of wonder if we are screwed because we are sort of like Cyclops from the X-men. He has one bad ass weapon (his laser eyes) that he can unleash and it does formidable damage. But he has no mid-range defensive weapons. He is kind of all or nothing. Plus we have no strategists. Plus we are wrong, are thieves, and have no integrity regarding our position. There is all that. Not that they are clean. But we are high powered clowns with no ammo for mid-range fighting that makes sense. And we are wrong, there is that.

Something tells me that Yatsenuk will not be there for very long, when people are fed with this theather and US games, there will be mess in Ukraine.

Just hope, when the time comes the brave people of Ukraine will fight against the Nazi guys supported by jewisch oligarchs and US motherfucking politicians.

I love the loader/excavator "knocking" on the door.LOL  Everything I have ever seen in Russia and all I know about them is just like that if you get them mad.  That's just so Russian in style.  So far my mother-in-law has wiped out two Mercedes and one brand new Ford Explorer over the last decade.  We are talking about numerous accidents over the years here.  I finally had to ask how all of these accidents were occurring.  The answer was revealing.   Via translation the statement was along the lines of "These stupid people are in my way so I ram them and try to push them out of the way."  If you have ever been to Russia you know how traffic is there.  I finally understood why she wanted an SUV and had asked me about what to choose.  She is not pro-American, she just wanted something bigger and those were Russian versus Russian incidents. 

They don't do insurance in Russia like the UNtied States.  I don't even want to know what the repair bills were but it didn't matter to her.  And those are only their women!LOL  If she ever asks me again about what to buy, I will just suggest a D-9 class bulldozer.
