Satellite Images Reveal Massing Of 15,000 Ukraine Troops, Hundreds Of Tanks Around Slavyansk
Yesterday, we jokingly noted that with separatists blockading Slavyansk from a Ukraine special-forces invasion, and with the Ukraine army blockading Slavyansk from said separatists (unclear exactly why), that the east Ukraine city of Slavyansk is easily the most blocked city in the world (and in dire need of fiber). However, based on just released satellite imagery showing the build up of Ukraine forces around Slavyansk - a city which as a reminder is located in Ukraine - what is going on around Slavyansk is no laughing matter.
Russian RIA Novosti reports that it has received satellite photos, "which clearly show the accumulation of a large number of Ukrainian military equipment and weapons on the border with the Russian Federation and in the vicinity of Slavyasnk." RIA cites a source in the Russian Defense Ministry, who commented that the pictures show a military formation designed "to wipe out the city and all its inhabitants from the face of the earth."
According to source, the group has more than 15,000 troops from the Ukraine army and national guard, about 160 tanks, 230 infantry fighting vehicles and APCs, and as much as 150 mortars, howitzers and multiple launch rocket systems ("Grad" and "Smerch").
The source concludes that "This concentration of troops in one area is not compatible with the potential of self-defense forces, armed with only a small number of pistols and submachine guns."
The satellite images are below:
Naturally, none of this should come as a surprise, as rationally one would expect Ukraine to respond to a comparable build up of Russian forces along the Ukraine border which itself was revealed two weeks ago via satellite photos as well:

Above: purported to be a Russian military airborne or Spetznaz (special forces) brigade at Yeysk, near the Sea of Azov in southern Russia (picture: Digital Globe).

It goes without saying that a matching build up (or at least an attempt at one) by Ukraine is normal and to be expected. The problem is that as we have witnessed every day over the past two weeks, military provocations on both sides of the conflict happen every day if not every hour. The latest one happened moments ago, as reported by RT:
Unknown assailants landed in helicopters and attacked a checkpoint in Soledar city in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk region, a militia source told RIA Novosti adding that there is a fight going on. There is no information on the number of casualties.
Soledar is located about 30 kilometers south east of Slavyansk.
The people’s governor of Donbass region Denis Pushilin confirmed to RT that there is fighting in Soledar. As the unknown men attacked the checkpoint, the militia was forced to retreat, the source told RIA.
The second checkpoint is preparing for attack he said, adding that there are about 50 activists, many without weapons.
For now these skirmishes around "checkpoints" have been isolated events. But how long before the Ukraine "special forces" which may well amount to 15,000 troops as reported by Russian media, get involved. And how much longer after that until Russia retaliats. But the biggest question: who will be the agent provocateur who fires the first shot in hopes of launch an all out war? Indeed, who stands to gain the most from yet another war - one which will hardly be "contained"

There is only one conclusion I have, that is, this wwwIII that you speak of should be splendid for stocks! very bullshitish
Just think about all the economic stimulus that comes from reconstruction! BUY BUY!
Let the debt extinguish games begin.

Not nearly as well; I'm pretty sure. On the other hand maybe they'll greet them with hugs, and "Comerade!"; very possible in my opinion.
As opposed to 40k Russians with heavy weaponry on the Urainian border?

"My dearly beloved daughter, the world is on the brink of many wars and these will have many repercussions on the speed by which the Church will erupt. It will be during any final peace negotiations, which will take place after much carnage and destruction, that many people will feel helpless, alone, fearful and without any real leadership.

Not that I am a fan of the one in the white dress at all, but I do hope all prayers for the ending of war, will have an effect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8OZOjfoFXY
Who are you going to pray to? Your pet snake?.....a moon rock?
to the father and to the son and to the holy spirit. of course, if you ever experience incoming from both flanks and in front morters and arty and your life is just a statistical anomaly most everyone around you spattered into pieces, then you will not have to ask such an ignorant question.
Agreed. A lot of answers are found in Revelation.
hoot, i apologize. i think i took your comment to mean you believed in nothing, and after i studied it for a while i realize you were actually responding to the white dress comment.
my sincerest apologies, obviously anyone who doesn't believe in god must be very lucky to not have lived long enough or had circumstances or their personal lifes hurdle or something completely out of their control that means enough to them to make them cry out to god.
and you don't have to jump up and down, or sing songs, or go to some organized place to know god, if the truth be known a lot of churches, temples, mosque, etc, etc. or the last place where you wil find god for they are of man, and in my lifetime that is stretched over nearly 6 decades a place of worship that you will actually find god have become as rare as hens teeth.
again, i am very sorry for my comment to your post.
God...of course hootowl, but you would not know who or what that is I guess?
There will be no war yet. War is negative for the stock market and most Americans are sick of war. Hillary will be POTUS as long as there is no war before she is elected. When she wins the election then I believe the fireworks will start.
I don't think the russian's are waiting for Hillary's polticial career...
ultimate warrior There will be no war yet. War is negative for the stock market and most Americans are sick of war. Hillary will be POTUS as long as there is no war before she is elected. When she wins the election then I believe the fireworks will start.

War would begin no matter who is president. Stop the blue pill/red pill BS. It's all the same.
My post was written a little confusing. I didn't intend to make it sound like I'm supportive of the blue/red team. I hate both political parties but what I meant was that in this day and age these wars are planned in advance to benefit the bankers and the elites. To the elites their is no good or bad side in a war just money to be made. It's not like Putin or Obama are calling the shots in this thing but people above them. It is my belief that a war at this very moment in time would not be beneficial to the powers that be. And to the poster saying that the Russians don't care about our stock market that just isn't true. The people that are behind these wars are in the American markets and they care if they go up or down.
Thank You . Help me wake these idiots.

Not too long ago the Russkies encountered MiG29s with only 150 hours on the airframe crashing due to heavy corrosion in the tail, causing structural failures in flight.
150 flight hours ... and fucked ... adds new meaning to, "use them or lose them" ... but they say they have it under control now ... probably caused by sitting on a hardstand for a decade with no fuel to operate them.

Do it!
This is not a big deal. Remember, WW1, when it started it was over quickly an lasted just a few weeks with very few casualities. Er, what? Hmmm, never mind. Sorry.
All be over by Christmas.
They never mention which one.
Justin Raimondo is now saying that stirring up a war in Eastern Ukraine by the forces of the cabal could turn out to be even worse than the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Reason:
“Russia, after all, really does possess weapons of mass destruction.”
http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2014/04/24/ukraine-out-of-control/
Yeah.. only a few weeks and it will be over by Christmas.. Instead they practically erased every last penny of industrial progress of the previous 50 years... No body talks about WWI, maybe because there wasn't any glory to be had. Only destruction. Nobody has Gungho feelings about WWI.
Russian's feeling about WWIII: when the war starts people will put on white sheets and walk slowly to the cemetary.
Why slow?
As to not start a panic....
Poignant post!
It’s estimated that the government’s volunteer “Four Minute Men” who spoke at social events for four minutes to promote WWI, by the end of the war had made more than 7.5 million speeches to 314 million people in 5,200 communities. That’s according to Wikipedia. After the Armistice was signed on November 11, 1918, and foreign operations ended June 30, 1919, Wilson abolished the Creel’s Committee on Public Information by executive order 3154 on August 21, 1919.
More from Wikipeida: “The CPI staged events designed for specific ethnic groups. For instance, Irish-American tenor John McCormack sang at Mount Vernon before an audience representing Irish-American organizations.[10]
The Committee also targeted the American worker and, endorsed by Samuel Gompers, filled factories and offices with posters designed to promote the critical role of American labor in the success of the war effort.[11]
“The CPI's activities were so thorough that historians later stated, using the example of a typical midwestern American farm family, that[12] “Every item of war news they saw—in the country weekly, in magazines, or in the city daily picked up occasionally in the general store—was not merely officially approved information but precisely the same kind that millions of their fellow citizens were getting at the same moment. Every war story had been censored somewhere along the line— at the source, in transit, or in the newspaper offices in accordance with ‘voluntary’ rules established by the CPI.[12]”

Facinating posts JR. What is really amazing about it is they were able to do this with an, for the most part at least, independant media. Heck, back in the mid 80s it was considered to be a scandel if one company owned more than 1 tv station in the same town! Now 3 media companys own every TV station in the USA. The government packages news wholesale and so called journalists don't question one moment of it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbAXfnxjCL0
Yes, excellent. And in the future, if the Comcast/Times Warner merger is approved, the resulting monopoly will control 40 percent of all Internet access.
No matter that Americans don’t want war, that they don’t hate Putin, that experts say WWIII won’t happen. Those details are just now being handled by the neocons, warmongers, banker to military industrial businessmen to media and political puppets—all the propagandists working overtime...for war.
That will keep the American people from raising a huge protest if Kiev forces swarm in and begin to murder their own people in Eastern Ukraine. Reason? Americans then can say, “Those Russian spies and Russian infiltrators got what they deserved."
The lies that will make the bullets fly here in 2014 were used just the same 100 years ago, 1914, to bring Americans into their first world war.
The man in charge of the propaganda for WWI, whose job it was to depict the U.S. as a champion of justice and liberty and to create open hostility toward all things German, resulting in the persecution of German-Americans at home and abroad, was none other than natural born propagandist, Socialist George Creel.
For as Creel said of himself: "An open mind is not part of my inheritance. I took in prejudices with mother's milk and was weaned on partisanship.” Never mind that German-Americans’ political allegiance belonged to the United States; they nonetheless must be demonized.
And it was Creel’s hysteria for war and against capitalism and for persecution of German-Americans that worked to change Americans’ preference for U.S. neutrality in WWI on August 4, 1914, to one of all out war by 1918.
In just over just 28 months, according to Wikipedia, from April 13, 1917, to August 21, 1919, Creel and his Committee on Public Information “used every medium available to create enthusiasm for the war effort and enlist public support… primarily propaganda techniques to accomplish these goals.”
Creel, one of the most unscrupulous propagandist of all times (a protégé of Creel’s was Edward Bernays), assumed chairmanship of Wilson’s CPI on April 14, 1917. Using ruthless dishonesty in his methods, Creel claimed he was merely trying to de-bamboozle the American public from the effects of German propaganda by telling bigger and better lies.
And under Creel the definition of propaganda became just that: lie.
For only by lying could he combat the public's anti-war attitude. In 1917, petitions against war still flooded Congress, and when New York’s mayor, John P. Mitchell, remarked at a Carnegie Hall meeting on March 23, 1917, that the U.S. was on the verge of war with Germany “he was drowned out by shouts of opposition and left the meeting.”
And, then, on April 2, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson asserted to Congress: “The world must be made safe for democracy” and asked Congress to declare war against Germany.
Creel’s propaganda offensive, getting into full swing by 1918, was known as “the American reign of terror.” Writes David L. Hoggan:
“There were waves of arrests, burnings of German books and many killings. It was common practice to use force in compelling foreigners to kiss the American flag. There were burnings in effigy, beatings, and the liberal application of tar and feathers.
“By 1918, Creel had 150,000 so-called 4-minute men who were popping up everywhere to deliver their packaged hymns of hate. The normal and sensible American people, like any other people under similar circumstances, reacted much as Creel predicted they would when he launched his pioneer propaganda experiment.”
Creel’s propaganda ministry operations included such movies as “The Kaiser: The Beast of Berlin,” “The Prussian Cur” and “To Hell With the Kaiser.” Creel made free use of Bolshevik propaganda such as “Russian appeals to the German workers to throw off the yoke of oppression,” an ironic appeal “when one considers that no industrial workers in the world were more privileged than Germany’s, and that the Cheka terror (in Russia) was at its height.”
“Equally distorted,” writes Hoggan, “were the assertions of Creel and his group that they had positive proof of Germany’s intention to make a colony of the entire United States and to deport the entire non-Germanic population to a tiny reservation in the south of New Mexico.”
And, so, today, an advancing American Empire bent on a banker-controlled NWO rolls out another Creel operation to demonize Putin and the Russian population in Ukraine to once again “weld thousands and even millions of human beings into one amalgamated mass of hate and will and hope,” as espoused in 1939 by the authors of “Words that Won the War: The Story of the Committee on Public Information 1917-1919.”
And what can be more fitting to mobilize Americans than the deadly words written in 1917 by the editor of the American Historical Review, J. Franklin Jameson:
“…the American enters the war distinctly as a citizen of the world. Rather, he enters the war with that intention; but to make him truly such a citizen requires an enormous expansion of his political education, a quick shift of his point of view, rapid reinforcements to his knowledge of European conditions.”
And, so, the wheels of the massive Orwellian Ministry of Truth have begun again in earnest to change America’s favorable public opinion of Putin and Russia to one of hatred just as Creel convinced Americans that the Germans in their midst were uncivilized ruthless savages,
And to understand fully how an Establishment Empire such as the USA can advance its world powers using hatred and people as pawns one need only read War Hysteria & the Persecution of German-Americans and the mob lynching of Robert Prager.

What natural resources those guys have besides their location?! If they got resources, murica will be there.
great read.
Putin and the Russians are the good guys here? We should forget about the Russian influence in Ukranian politics since 1994? Has anyone else killed a nation's president with polonium? A Russian sycophant driven from office? Russian espionage and political tactics in Eastern Ukraine? Have the Russians allowed the Chekhans a referendum for independence- or do they just shoot them like dogs?
There ARE NO GOOD GUYS HERE. Putin is a tyrant. Obama is a tyrant's fool puppet. Europe is the Rothschilds' playground. You are a fool.
The play here is simple humanity: stop playing the game. End government. End law. End Fractional Reserve banking. Oh and Hitler had it right- put the jews on Madagascar and keep them the hell away from civilzed society.
You are ignorant...

Most Chechens prefer Russia.....There was a vote....
....Chechens led attack against Georgia 2008...Chechen President was ready to help if Crimea attacked.
I won't even comment on the rest....Media dumb you down much?

The Phony Litvinenko Murder is not intended as an investigative piece into the circumstances of Litvinenko's death . Guess you didn't read the review. Of course, I was referring to Victor Yushenko, Moron.
http://www.economist.com/node/1668236 You mean this referendum? Moron.
Russia attacked Georgia- I guess because they are so peace loving....Moron.
Troll much?
I believe that Georgia attacked an autonomous Russian speaking region and Russia put an end to it. The Georgian president at the time was trying to impress NATO which in itself could be viewed as a hostile act by the Russians (especially in hindsight).
It was not an autonomous region at all, but is now. Georgia was trying to maintain control of its' own State.
JR
Your prejudicial depiction of Creel as a "socialist" and "anti-capitalist" is completely false.
Creel was a supporter of the Democrat party.
Creel was NOT "anti-capitalist".
Those who were actually anti-capitalist (such as the IWW, socialists, and other unionists)
OPPOSED the war as one fought to benefit the "Merchants of Death".
“Anti-business sentiment permeated the CPI…”
The premier account of Creel and his operation was by James Mock and Cedric Larson, Words that Won the War: The Story of the Committee of Public Information 1917-1919 (Princeton University Press 1939). The authors gave special emphasis to Creel’s socialism.
Here’s a man who said he had nothing but contempt for those “who still thought in terms of Washington’s Farewell Address.” (George Creel, Rebel at Large: Recollections of Fifty Crowded Years, 1947)
His anti-capitalism becomes obvious in his many attacks on the American system, underscoring internationalism and the use of communist propaganda techniques.
“Such anti-business sentiments permeated CPI literature,” according to U.S. Government Publication: Ideological Development and Institutional Politics From the Founding to 1970… Carl Becker, among many scholars who authored CPI pamphlets, “argued for greater democratic control of industry. Becker urged America to demonstrate unequivocally that she was fighting not on behalf of what he called ‘capitalistic imperialism’ but for democracy…
“CPI literature evinced sympathy for what many Congressman regarded as socialist causes…advocating taxing excess profits and land values ‘to the fullest needs of the government’ urged government control of certain troubled industries…engaging the services of such socialist thinkers as Algie Martin Simons and John Spargo…”
http://books.google.com/books?id=aEtRswEQvIgC&pg=PA109&lpg=PA109&dq=George+Creel+socialist+anti+capitalist&source=bl&ots=qjn4TAJZDh&sig=zo1HnrH61tk_IQbDowu4n_TIbT8&hl=en&sa=X&ei=jTxcU6uQFo6VyASC-oEQ&ved=0CEkQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=George%20Creel%20socialist%20anti%20capitalist&f=false
JR
Your reply appears to be an illogical attempt at 'guilt by association' and innuendo.
The references to alleged "socialists" who were pro-war and wrote propaganda for the CPI does not prove Creel a "socialist" any more than pro-capitalists who propagandized would prove Creel to be a "capitalist".
The reference to George Washington is irrelevant.
The fact that some Congresspersons claimed higher taxation to be "socialism" is also pointless.
Instead, consider actual socialists such as the IWW and other opponents of WW1 who were "anticapitalists" and regarded the conflict as one fought for bankers and death merchants. Creel was not one of those because he was not anti-capitalist and was a supporterter of the Democrat party.
Finally, propaganda advocating warfare to allegedly 'spread democracy' is commonly employed by capitalist imperialists, from Woodrow Wilson to Bush to Obama.
Could put that in a few less words?
too long too complicated! Whats your problem are you gay or some shit!
Mobile Chemical Labs! They're hiding WMD in warehouses above the ground, in plain sight. What gall! In the third picture there's a guy beating a little old lady. Pictures don't lie. They're real!
Are we just going to sit around and let them call us bad names? Sometimes killing is an act of love, like immigration.
Let's forego the fake elections and go with Jeb as President and Hitlery as Vice President. Then we can concentrate on killing.
What more proof do we need? We have PICTURES!
Wait a sec..
She';s just pulled out a Tokarev and shot the guy who was beating her..
That ain't no old lady! She's one of Pussy Riot!
Go get em girl!!

Who controls the airspace? That's what matters. Armor don't roll without air cover.
Air space and rocket launchers against tank attacks which require refueling. At Stalingrad artillery and rocket launchers devastated
German tank advance including creating inferno of tank refueling vehicles.
This could get ugly, especially for Ukraine since their arsenal is much smaller with untrained and ill equiped military. US generators, sleeping bags and socks fresh from Afghanistan will not be of much help. Time for Neocons to pull in their horns and seek a truce, or cease fire. Otherwise they will be held responsible for starting this mess for all the wrong reasons.
Not on the Obama channels they wont.
dumb question
They don't need to control airspace if their armor is rolling against their own citizens who disagree with them.
Every POTUS since Bush senior had its war. Bush Sr. intervened in Kuwait, Clinton had to save his face from a blow out caused by a blow job by bombing Serbia, Bush Jr. engaged Afghanistan and Iraq, so, if Obama is to be taken seriously, he has to have his personal war. He got close to it, but was outmaneuvered by Putin in Syria.
Maybe if they are appointed Presidential Puppet, they have to create a giant human blood sacrifice to.......Satan.

Are we again all to be sacrificed on the altar of war through lies?
What nation is primarily responsible for World War I? If you say Germany, then you’re either in your 70’s or 80’s or you’ve relied on The History Channel, major media, and the so-called popular culture for the spin.
Starting in the late 20’s, however, tons of previously released correspondence, memos, subverted documents and interviews with the principals gave historians a much more complete picture of how – day to day – major world leaders stumbled or surged into war.
Much of the revised history was buried under U.S. and British propaganda… and the push to get America into World War II - with its blanket subversion and lies - put World War I into the rearview mirror.
But the truth of World War I is more important today than ever. This from David Hoggan’s “The Myth of the ‘New History’”:
“In a series of articles during 1920 and 1921, Harvard’s Professor Sidney B. Fay demonstrated conclusively that responsibilities had to be shared among the nations involved on both sides. Fay’s detailed two-volume work in 1928 also contained an attempt to establish the relative order of guilt among the nations…
“Fay listed the guilty parties in the following order: Serbia, Russia, Austria-Hungary, France, Germany and Great Britain. The odd thing about this order of rank is that Great Britain and Germany, the leaders of the respective European alliance systems, are assigned the least guilt. Harry Elmer Barnes, in his 1926 volume dealing with both 1914 and 1917, adopted a similar order of rank except that, unlike Fay, he considered British responsibility to be greater than German.
“Like Fay, however, he was prepared to assign the primary responsibility to Serbia, Russia, Austria-Hungary and France.”
Germany, which had given strong support to any policy Vienna might adopt later tried to modify that. Then, when Russia mobilized on the German border, the Germans felt surrounded and pushed into war from threats coming from Britain, France and Russia.
Continues Hoggan:
“It is well-known that Tsar Nicholas II of Russia delayed the general mobilization order of his country for twenty-four hours before approving it most reluctantly. Would there have been any chance of his signing this document had not Sir George Buchanan, the British Ambassador, urged the Russian leaders that mobilization was necessary? Would the French have joined the British in urging this Russian mobilization had they not counted on British support?”
World War I… 9,000,000 lost their lives. And now, a century later, the lies and the bullets still serve the cabal.
I say let Ukraine and Russia sort it out.
No ZATO, or any other forces either, (Polish, etc) even if they claim they are not under the ZATO banner.
No US Blood for Ukraine!!!
That would be ideal, lakecity55, but impossible, of course, because this is a crisis between the western banker cabal centered in London and New York and its puppet representative is the American government and the contest boils down to the central bankers vs. the Russian Federation: Ukraine is only the battle field.
Interesting how inept the central bankers’ management team is (Obama, Hagel, Susan Rice, etc.) in that they keep stirring the pot while blaming Russia.
And, today, we find Russia becoming tired of the same message with Putin stopping his conversations with Obama, and Russian officials literally refusing to answer Hagel’s request for another meeting. Obviously, Hagel would deliver the only message he’s been provided during this crisis on hopes another news conference would provide more American propaganda headlines.
Putin apparently has taken his ball and glove and gone home and the game has been cancelled.
Hagel, like Clint Eastwood at the Republican convention, should have a conference with himself whereby he pretends Putin is there. Hagel then can say what he would say and then tell us what Putin would say in response.
Makes for poor headlines, but that’s all he’s got.
According to Encyclopedia Britannica, the world was not created by God, 6000 tears ago, but by British, 400 years ago.
We are also familiar with the French eager in Versailles to ruin the German economy, what planted seeds that grew rapidly in the circumstances to the next conflict. The master minds however were not prosecuted in Nurnberg
Hopefully these Ukrainian soldiers will defect as soon as they see the first Russian Spetsnaz regiment.
I would hate to see good young white men die for the wrong cause.

You can't tell anything from the photos, there is no stated source or time-frame or (for me) any English translation.
The purported examples of both countries' forces shown above are of no use. We will know soon enough, if there is a large-scale attack by either side, I suppose.
Armored vehicles use a TON of fuel.
Show me photos of long lines of fuel trucks. Then they are genuine. Otherwise, they are just parked vehicles that can't move, and maybe hundreds of miles away.
The labels on the top set say that they are from the 25th of April, 2014 and they give a location. Who added the labels I wonder (April = ?????? in Ruskie).
The bottom set could be from my grandmother's backyard for all we know ... and the top ones could be misdirection of course. Amassing for a conflict "maybe", or just sitting somewhere nonspecific. Probably not preparing for war.
Those tubes look like WMDs! Oh wat; those are our puppets - those look like fairways

Replace the Ukraine Government with Open Source Software.

Two salient points:
The world economy is circling the drain, (FAST!).
A significant minority of the most well-armed and trained citizenry in the world are ready to take on the feds in D.C., if they encroach any further on liberty with the violence and malice that they have exercised in the past. The boiling point has been reached.
Only one conclusion:
There will be a big enough war waged so as to negate the two above points.
I'm glad I took the "trailing stops" off my eur/jpy and aud/jpy shorts.
yup its really about who ukraine wants to ally itself with. better off imo with the russians but i dont live there so i dont know. who would want to join the eu to get saddled with "austerity" which is just another way of saying the people will starve while bank loans are paid. fuck the eu. i would side with russia and tell the banks to stuff it where the sun dont shine
The forecast is for heavy fog (of war).
Looks like Slavyansk is in A World of Shit.
RE
They must think somebodys got their back, Perhaps its Joe with his shotgun.
The idea of America getting involved or jumping into a war in Ukraine would have been hard to imagine a few years ago. As I write this we are engaged in a war of words but the potential for this to escalate into a shooting war is real. Allowing events to deteriorate into a major war or possibly into what some see as World War III is becoming a reality.
As insane as it appears this could become the final outcome. The location of this as a military confrontation is right in Putin's backyard and this is a strong advantage for Russia. It is silly to think Putin and Russia will back down. This means poking the bear is not a smart move. It cannot be emphasized enough this government was not elected by the people and that the military of Ukraine is divided and extremely weak. More about this subject in the article below.
http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2014/04/war-in-ukraine-bad-idea_26.html
"The idea of America getting involved ... would have been hard to imagine..."
This US involvment would not have been hard to imagine for anyone following US World Politics over the last several decades.
This is not WWIII!
The US is not "getting involved" other than to urge the Ukranians into a war they cannot win, supplying billions of $ along with tons of arms, and passing out cookies.
No US uniforms will be on the ground, nor in the air.
Naval uniforms will keep enough distance so that only a few collisions will take place between ships and subs. Any collisions will not start WWIII! That would be M.A.D.
Yes, the US is "involved", by passing out cookies and supplying arms, but no, the US Military will not fight for the Ukrainians. The US is supplying the "spies" in eastern Ukraine too; however, this capture of US spies in eastern Ukraine will not lead to WWIII any more than the actions of Gary Powers led to WWIII.
This is just-another-Cold-War incident. Russia and Ukraine will have a hot war. Russia and the US will be careful not to get too close to each other during the "Ukraine War". For you youngins, who seem so terribly worried that WWIII is starting, we have been here before, many times, and WWIII did not start then. (i concede, there is a fallacy in that statement somewhere; if you see the fallacy, then utilize the Alfed E. Newman Stress Management Program and "don't worry so much".)
What you are seeing, is merely Cold War II unfolding.
What the Ukrainians and Russians are seeing, is the Ukraine War unfolding.
For you basement dwellers, it is (so far, still) a Cold War. For the "attendees" it is, of course, a hot war.
(not my neg)
Obama and Putin need to think long and hard about where this is headed because the genertations to come (or what is left of them) will be cursing them in perpetuity.
I am of the belief that at the moment they are still in the early stages of a game of chicken and that the danger point will be reached where they will find a solution unless someone panics or accidentally misinterprets some move by the other, in which case I want to say "nice knowing you" to all ZH readers and commentators.
Ukrainian forces are going to get bent over a chair and spanked hard once this thing kicks off.
Which is, of course, what western bankers want most of all, at this point: MOAR war, MOAR killz, MOAR human suffering and misery.
Western bankers drink blood.
Jesus, these guys just line their shit right up, don't they?
Would make a nice strafing run for the right plane.
RT reporting that a chopper dropped armed men near a checkpoint and weapons depot in Soledar (Donetsk region - adjacent to Slavyansk).
Gunfire and a retreat of ~50 unarmed locals from the checkpoint and weapons depot. Attackers reportedly armed with American guns (M-16's).
Conflicting reports of one dead, either an attacker or defender. Self-defense forces retook checkpoint.

RT Reporter Paula Siler there on the ground...
Similar reports are coming thru other sources...
I was off a bit.
I figured the Dniester by Easter.
Those pictures of Russion tanks show the lack of imagination on the part of the commanding officers, if I were in charge I would have them parked so that from the satellite pictures it looks like a giant cock pointing at the enemy.
If you had enough tanks you could write '???? ??? ????????? ????????????? ???'
One msm "journalist's" penetrating insight:
DAVID BROOKS: And, let's face it, Obama, whether deservedly or not, does have a -- I'll say it crudely -- but a manhood problem in the Middle East: Is he tough enough to stand up to somebody like Assad, somebody like Putin? I think a lot of the rap is unfair. But certainly in the Middle East, there's an assumption he's not tough.
You can't make this stuff up.
http://nation.foxnews.com/2014/04/21/david-brooks-obama-has-manhood-prob...
Do you think Obama can start a war?
Do you think that a Pentagon General will carry out any order without first checking if the order has come from the Shadow Government?
Ukrainian barbarians, have they no drones?
You can find a google satellite view of the second from the top location at, 48.812275 , 37.404357.
The picture in this article seems older than the one in google maps. Unless they purposely tore up all the nice paving around those buildings.
Also. Why bother using propoganda satellite pictures that are of less detail than a google maps shot? Surely the government military sats can do better.
Unless they are purposely of low fuzzy grade. Out of date and BS.
Looks like maybe there was a sale at whatever place that is. Cars in the lot. Or employee vehicles?
Oh. Another picture is from just north east up the road.
The Russian military pics are of no use. Google shows the airbase to be the same. Probably always at that level of material. Possibly parked for some time and inoperative.
Two others show many permanent buildings and a bunch of trucks. So what. Again probably always look like that. Artillery brigade? Where? Are the weapons in the little buildings?
One picture actually appears to have a number of tanks. Gosh. Military weponry near your border. How unusual.
And just why would they park armor and support vehicles so close to each other and in the open along with their aircraft? So the RuAF could easily get them? Who's gonna believe that?
This shit will continue until most of the military on all sides of the conflict says " Screw this, I am not dying for a penis waving competition between politicians " Better to do a few years in jail than bleed out on a foreign battlefield.
.
"Better to do a few years in jail than bleed out on a foreign battlefield."
But "they" will not give you those options. You will have the options of fighting on a battlefield or standing in front of a firing squad.
If you say, "I will die on the battlefield anyway", then you have lost hope. Many, enough, will choose the battlefield with "hope" of survival and TPTB will have their war. "They" always get their war, because the rational thing to do is to attempt to survive the battlefield (*).
(*) there are of course other options, fleeing, etc.
I also could be that Putin truly doesn't want to invade but is concerned about his Russian citizens.
Putin doesn't have to invade since when the Fascist are put in place after the American rigged election the IMF will come in to loot the Ukraine completely dry.
They already took the gold and now the West will take the rest. Some neo-nazi nut (Tit For Tat: Ukraine Blocks Crimea Water Supply With Russia Set To Halt Ukraine Gas) will wreck the pipeline to the West and then the real party begins for the Ukrainian people.
Hammer time. Ukrainian people are in for a rude awakening – Welcome to the West! http://forum.prisonplanet.com/index.php?topic=256910.0

The illuminati celebrates it's birthday on May 1. Wait for the ritual sacrifice.
He won't go all the way to Kiev. Putin will be happy with East Ukraine ... for now. Besides, that would put him on the border with Poland and Slovakia. He knows that would push NATO too far.
So, like who analyzed the photos and added the labels? Probably not digital globe.
Cool, I like your reposts of Kremlin's propaganda.
I would add that the representative of the Russian Defense Ministry said that Ukrain created army group near Sloviansk "in order to wipe out the city with all its inhabitants."
Link in Russian language, but feel free to translate in http://translate.google.com
http://www.mk.ru/politics/2014/04/26/shokiruyuschie-snimki-kiev-gotovits...
That is what Russian news agencies use to tell to the people.
Imagine effect of such propaganda on Russian-speaking Ukranians that use to only one source of information - Russian TV.
That is all while in Slavyansk we are getting more and more hostages held by pro-russian militants everyday.
Not only OSCE observers captured but local protesters journalists and so on.
Recently one local deputy with his friend were killed in Slavyansk, last video - he tried to put Ukranian flag onto administration building and was captured by pro-russian (I prefer pro-Putin) militants.
In Crimea occupied by Russia, locals were warned not to put Ukranian flags on their building: reason - that is considered as a crime - extremism and inflammatory actions.
http://www.rbc.ua/rus/news/accidents/prokuratura-kryma-predupredila-chle... (again in Russian but you can use google translator)
*In addition, a warning that explains how criminal liability for violation of the article, received an official letter signed by the Acting Attorney Natalia Poklonskaya Crimea. The letter stated that the Ukrainian flag was set "for propaganda and public demonstration, which served as the incitement of social, ethnic strife and became a propaganda of exclusivity."*
Ukranian language, history and literature wont be part of school programs in Crimea anymore and massive amount of Ukranian teachers fired by new authorities.
Cry me a river.
Ah, so bad I dont understand what you meant exactly. Some song... never liked music. :|
I think what was said was about the size of the force being large enough to wipe out the city's inhabitants...
Otherwise...appears you know not much accurate...
Since you have russian nick: you can follow the link and check yourself. They exactly said that the purpose of that forces - "to wipe out the city's inhabitants".
Same with other "inaccuracies" you mention - they all in fact accurate.

so your a CIA plant here to disrupt things? Smells like it
Just put a big red button in front of me. Then tell me that if I push the button every government employee, every lawyer, every military officer, every corporate officer, every cop, every politician, every lobbyist, everybody who has ever committed violence of any kind against another human being or animal, every banker on earth, and every asshole I forgot to include in my list, will be vaporized. Then tell me that if I push that button everyone I love and care for, and everyone I have ever cared about and loved, will be vaporized along with - of course - me.
Then keep a close watch on my hand because it will move so fast to push that big red button that you probably wont even see it happen.
Just a little self-righteous? Troll !
The 'american' solution.
Obliterate those who are different from yourself.
Vlad, if you're listening, you know the attack on Sloviansk is a trap, so here's what you need to do.
Hold steady, no matter how much it hurts. Don't interveme to stop the troops loyal to the putchists in Kiev from attacking Sloviansk. At most, get in a few good Ukraine-born volunteers to advise the people, while you denounce the villiany of the attackers loudly and keep calling on Obama, Merkel and the world to call them off.
But do send in a dozen brave and good journalists sworn to give their lives if necessary to record what happens, together with technicians and equipment to transmit their feed. And get it up on YouTube, RT and other sites so all of Ukraine - and the world - can watch in real time.
No matter how much your heart cries out for action, no matter how they goad you, resist all provocations until all doubt has been erased from the minds of anyone willing to see as to who is the aggessor and what their program is for the Russian-speakers of Ukraine.
Please excuse my presumption in telling you this, if as I suspect it's what you're already planning.
I'd like to thank the Academi first and foremost....
There is wait...look the field in play and history....
i honestly trust Putin more than Obummer.....take a look at his (OB) and congress poll ratings-in the dumps-you cant continually cry "wolf!" and have anyone beleive you
More sat photos from years ago?..
Yawnin still...make me eat my words already.
I look like a friggin fool tryin to explain all tbis shit to the common folk.
Jeez
meanwhile MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF WEAPONRY are Being sent by the u.s. and weuorpe through middle easern proxy states to syrian 'rebels'.
this entire ukkrainian charade will be deemed a success if syria falls and pipelines can be put through. 5 , 10 15 billion dollars----the emirati count in billions of barrels of oil and MCF of natural gas moved to europe through pipelines traversing syria, through turkey.
as much as the west may be weakening and the east rising------the west is still VERY MUCH ON TOP. don't forget this bitches.
There will be an annular solar eclipse on April 28, 2014 at 11:04 pm Pacific time, (April 29, at 6:04 am UT) this eclipse will take place at 14 degrees of Aries, in Bharani Nakshatra. Bharani Nakshatra is ruled by Yama the god of death. It is symbolized by the vulva. It’s shakti is the power to carry things away. This is a good time for getting rid of anything that is not serving you. It’s a great time for cleaning out your garage or closets, for example.
This is not a great time for initiating legal proceedings or for starting any kind of mediation. Bharani is related to disagreements and a feeling of injustice, so it promotes arguments.
A period of three days on either side of the eclipse should be avoided for starting any new important endeavors.
The mantra for this eclipse is Om Shree Bharani Nakshatra Devataye Namah
We are cleaning the fuck outta our basement today. Spring cleaning's last hurrah! I'm very good at keeping vulva's happy.
Dude!
You scared me there for a second.
Then I found out that:
novus ordo seclorum
oh! now i am scared again!
Yama is the God of the NWO.
Draw the Ukes army south to confront the Russians...Bullshit. Take the bait, Moscow walks into Kiev in a day. Neocon win.
