Ukraine Scrambles Fighter Jets, Intercepts Airplane Carrying Russian Deputy Premier
A few short hours ago, a Russian delegation which contained the deputy premier of Russia Dmitry Rogozin was flying back from Moldova's capital Chisinau following his visit to Tiraspol as part of May 9 celebrations, when Ukraine scrambled fighter jets to intercept the Yak-42 carrying the Russian vice premier and forced it to promptly land back in Moldova.
The reason why this is surprising is that Rogozin was well aware in advance of taking off that Ukraine had closed its airspace to the Russian delegation.

— Dmitry Rogozin (@DRogozin) May 10, 2014
But the punchline is that while Rogozin managed to fly into Moldova over Romanian airspace, on his return the EU and NATO member country served him with a surprise - it followed in Ukraine's footsteps and blocked off its airspace to the Russian Deputy PM as well.
So suddenly Rogozin found himself unable to access the airspace of either Ukraine or Romania. Which is a problem, because as the map below shows, Moldova has a contiguous border with just these two countries, and in effect if both neighbors block their airspace to Russians in the country, there is no way to depart.
So what does Rogozin do? Precisely what the outspoken member of the US counter-Russia sanctions list would be expected to do:
I'm flying out despite the ban
— Dmitry Rogozin (@DRogozin) May 10, 2014
Sadly for him, it did not work out quite as expected:
Ukrainian interceptors turned around our plane http://t.co/Khudl8Goho

Here is a map showing the moment when the Russian Yak was met by Ukraine Migs:
This is how the Moldovan website Actualiti described the incident:
Aircraft of Vice Premier of the Russian Federation Dmitry Rogozin was intercepted by a Ukrainian MiG after he entered the airspace of Ukraine, reports Actualiti.md
Earlier, the Deputy Prime Minister said that he would still fly to Moscow via Ukraine.
"I am taking off despite the ban," - wrote Rogozin in social networks.
Rogozin flew on board the Yak -42 (aka RUS-Jet) from Chisinau airport.
Actualitati.md recalls that Ukraine refused to allow its airspace to Russian officials. To Dmitry Rogozin, May 8 was in Tiraspol, the board was forced to fly through Bulgaria and Romania.
The Vice PM was not the only one who was forced to return. According to Gazeta.ru, Ukraine also intercepted the flight of the Russian culture minister Vladimir Medinsky.
Ukrainian authorities have blocked and did not allow passage through its airspace the plane on which was the Russian delegation headed by the Minister of Culture of Russia Vladimir Medinsky which was returning from Chisinau to Moscow, according to the minister's Twitter account.
"Our aircraft with the Russian delegation was ordered to return to Chisinau , threatened by a forced landing in Ukraine " - said Medinsky.
The minister said that Ukraine previously allowed overflights . In Bawtry is on the State Duma delegation includes , Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Government.
However, before Ukraine pats itself on the back for its success in keeping the Russians landlocked, Rogozin sent out the following tweet supposedly next to Moscow's airport Domodedovo, where he praised the efficiency of the Russian "Military-Industrial commission" in finding alternative paths:
But the Military-Industrial Commission has its own paths. And Kiev junta is left with nothing) pic.twitter.com/DHIQe2hg0z

Of course, had this little incident escalated and the Russian's plane had been shot down, something tells us those who were furiously selling VIX on Friday afternoon to paint the tape with a record Dow Jones high, would be in a bit of a pickle coming Monday.
Still, while this incident was contained, the big one remains: tomorrow's referendum which is still going ahead as planned and following which it is only a matter of time before East Ukraine, now independent, requests Russian "peacekeepers" to enter the country and, well, keep the peace.

I wonder if Putin will issue a strongly worded tweet!
//////
One of the many problems with oligarchical-socialists is, they have no sense of humor, even when its exceedingly dry, they still need approval to laugh ;-)
.
Obama, Hillary, Kerry, Cameron, Harper, Hollande, Humpty Van Rompuy...
Yep, I'd say your point is on pretty solid ground.
Kerry might not have a sense of humor, but his actions and words give us something to laugh at. True, it's really a sad state of affairs, but as long as these fucktards are in power, might as well ridicule them.
Yes, thanks Stooging...but you forgot Putin & his merry band of "former communists" who just happened to have enough cash on hand to buy STATE OWNED ENTERPRISES to transition from being all Marxist-kumbayah-type oligarchs of the USSR, into some form of krony kleptocratic kapitalist oligarchs.
Its like some weird parallel universe isn't it, EBT here, bread lines there, fat & happy communists/socialists at the top have proven it ;-)
Tweeting is for sissies! Strong male like Vlad would leads by actions rather than tweeting! (I am joking. But I personally feel a bit embarrassed by the use of twitter as a diplomatic tool.)
The interception was on orders from Victoria Nuland who was overheard saying "Fuck Russia. That'll teach them to mess with my guys. We bad."
Just dinner theater, people. the puppet masters are running the show, not these figurehead heads of state. When one views these stories through that lens, a lens which sees that those puppet masters are unequivocally united and have dominion over all major states and governments, these stories start to become the shallow theatrical performances which they truly are. See through this facade and look to the much bigger agenda at work here. A single world government and monetary authority cannot exist in the presence of any single nation capable of withdrawing from it or militarily opposing it. The goal was, is, and continues to be single-world government and, thus, a unipolar world operated at the whim of the few at the cost of the many. See it for what it is, then look for how you can oppose and fight back. First and foremost, you must withdraw yourself and your support, in all forms, from their game.
the puppet masters are running the show, not these figurehead heads of state.
I may be uninformed, but just who are these "puppet masters"? They have to be breathing, walking people, don't they? Is there a list of them somewhere?
It would seem to me that people who want to bring down the criminal cabal that is "running the show" would begin removing these people from the world. You'd think with all of the action-adventure "good guy loner patriot takes out bad guy politician or oligarchs" would be happening all the time, huh?
Why is that not happening? Sort of like the Kennedy thing, Huh?
dude.
"puppetmasters" - who pulls yer strings?
LOOK UP.
and keep looking.
up.
to the top of the. . .pyre-amid.
The very top of the Pyramid may be unknown to almost everyone, but
the next level is filled with names of Banksters,
and the largest corporations CEO's
and Bilderberg
and CFR
etc.
the top of the pyramid is the guys running the pentagon. it's that simple. don't get crazy about 'bilderberg' and 'rothschild'. or even betty windsor, and she ain't no slouch. bill gates really isn't caring about starting a war over ukraine, as greedy and nasty as he might be, he doesn't care. it's MIC. it's all MIC. they were bred like pit bulls for blood and they don't know anything else, and like the FED - they aren't audited or regulated. the fed has a face and has to at least go before congress and lie. the MIC is the one you are looking for and not even known by name.
They would have shot it down had Putin been in it.
It is getting closer and closer to that scenario.
Obummer said he would rescue Putin if Putin was nearby drowning.
Yea....if he was 'nearly' drowning....
But if was 'really' drowning....fuck NO!
This was a really, really stupid stunt on the part of the EU and Ukraine. It was little more than a publicity stunt that does nothing to alter the situation on the ground - but I can guarantee you it will enrage Putin.
As we say here in Alabama - "they done fucked up now".
Methinx the Russians should have played the game a bit bettter; sent a plane over EU area which purported to have the official, but didn't, and let the EU (i.e. Merkel) decide to intercept a plane that, after it all, would be empty. Methinx the EU would have declined.
Don't play with the children (the Kiev regime). The adults (Berlin) aren't going to war, so play with Berlin.
Next time have a half dozen fully armed Su 35s as escorts.... now if any of those NATO toys and the like actually tried to do something dangerous....the SU35s would be protecting the Deputy PM.... would the US complain if it were Biden?
What's a Biden ?
A D.C. toilet..
Dude!
Armed escort jets would more likely cause the start of the War.
when putin blocks over fly and supply routes for the us military going in and out of afghanistan then we will have an idea this is getting real.
putins rocket deals with nasa and afghan routes would come into focus if a this was real or if it was getting real.
yeah as long as russia keeps the supply routes into afghanistan open for nato, it's pretty obvious the ukraine thing is contrived.
Indeed Tony, NASA is fucked, and the Afghanistan pull out will cost billions and take years once Putin stops being the running dog of Obama and NATO.
US already contemplating leaving behind billions of dollars of self-destroyed equipment.
More likely the US would Force Pakistan to open the Pakistan route.
Pakistan also has nuclear weapons, so force is a pretty strong word. I'm thinking bribe is more appropriate.
I can't wait for Bolivia to retaliate by ordering down some US diplomat or politician, ideally Air Force One. The opportunities are rare but you just know they are chomping at the bit.
I would bet my last bitcoin that the west can listen in on every communication in the Russian C&C system. They could in 89 -- so why not now:-)
Hard to start a war when the other side knows everything you are planning to do. This unfortunately will not end well for our Russian friends.
I doubt it.The Russians have known all about US eavesdropping since the late 60's.The military nets would be full of disinformation only, with the real orders delivered in
another way.
Without HUMINT the US is blind, and US doesn't do that anymore.
+100
Well said indeed WC
HUMINT is the piece that's been sorely missing in the U.S. IC forr 20 years and it's been showing since they made the determination three decades ago that the NSA could do it all from a seat in Fort Meade through an assortment of satellites and monitoring stations around the globe.
The best trained at the NSA will tell you the same thing that HUMINT is still the "jewel in the crown" when you choose to get it right -that is!
A
And the Russians still do HUMINT, and very well...
You don't need to depend on HUMINT when your only weapons are drones and other "hammers." HUMINT is frankly pretty humane considering. At least at that level you know your target almost certainly deserves to die. The West doesn't give a fuck who it kills anymore from wedding parties to US citizen teenagers. As one analyst said one day, "They're all terrorists anyway."
Would not military communications be encrypted?
Somebody in the U.S. intelligence community make something happen to the 535 piles of shit in that inverted toilet bowl in Washington that do nothing but pass legislation without even looking at it, bankrupt the Country through very costly wars of choice with incidents like this that launch them as we continue to pay $180,000 a year to each and every one of them that are unaccountable to the oaths of office they took and the paycheck they receive giving the mantle of authority for complete and total control to start those wars to an equally corruptm incompetent and dangerous psychopath in the Executive?
You will only receive redemption on this earth and in heaven if you carry out that mission!
The U.S. intelligence community and the Congress are both working for the same NWO.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin's plane en route to Chisinau was not allowed to enter Ukraine's airspace on Thursday, May 8, and had to take a detour via Bulgaria and Romania, Itar-Tass reports.
"It's good that Ukraine is not Russia. Otherwise, the bypass would have taken 20 hours or so," he added.
Russians have a nice sense of humor.
OT: ‘Pilot program’ revealed: Washington sends missiles to Syrian rebels

Looks like the US wants to take the world into WW3...
Or maybe the US is trying for something less than WW3,
but will still advance the US agenda.
That's news to you?
Russia and US are both wrong, interfering in Ukraine, nobody asks what the people of Ukraine want, I bet the citizens just want peace, and their country as it was. The war should be against he bankers and energy companies on both contries
Not equally wrong as your comment seems to suggest.
http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/05/09/the-russian-perspective/
All of this fits right in with the last 15 years of the Russian game. If you want an interesting historical context, watch the 2012 BBC series: Putin, Russia and the West
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01b434y/episodes/guide
I believe Putin's corruption over the Sochi Olympics may have caused enough internal dissension, that an external threat needed to be sped up. After all, the global media smiled at the ability of Russia to show it's stuff. Everyone knows you don't laugh at Putin...
Yes
the "context".
So, if during the most recent 15 years:
Those were Russian, intead of US military bases in foreign countries all over the world,
if Russia proclaimed a right to initiate self-defined "humanitarian" or "preventive" military actions,
if Russia had a global network of 'black sites' where nationals from every country could be renditioned and tortured,
if NATO had been established to oppose the USA, and Russia headed it,
if Russia headed the IMF and backed global banking frauds,
if Russia had invaded and occupied Iraq and Afghanistan,
if Russia were the chief ally of wahhabist Saudi Arabia, crime center Kosovo, and drug centers Colombia, Mexico, and Afghanistan,
if Russia was assassinating people with drones in Pakistan, Yemen, and elsewhere,
if Russian leaders had visited the Ukraine to collaborate and finance the overthrow of an elected government,
if Russia had sent the head of its secret police and agents to assist the Ukraine putsch to suppress dissenters,
... then I suppose, "in context", you would blame global mischief on the USA ,
and yet again, given that imagined scenario, we would also disagree.
Russia would do more of the same if they could.
Russia approaches to Southern Americas :
http://www.businessinsider.com/russia-equips-americas-volatile-neighbors...
if Russia...
Do you realize Russia has no friends? Russia lives in a perpetual state of isolation. Russia is fine with that.
There is a reason why the USA has a large footprint in the world. Every nation in the world sends their best and brightest to the USA. Maybe "sends" is not the correct word... those individuals "choose" to go to America and live their dream.
As a result, every struggle in the world affects some American citizen or community of citizens. On a local scale, these communities of citizens within the USA express their rights. If they find other communities of citizens within America support them, they hustle to build consensus and voila, it is in the USA's geopolitical interest to become involved in the geopolitical issue.
Russia cannot progress economically and politically because of systemic corruption. Corruption exists in all countries. In Russia, it operates at a whole new level. The end result is the subjects of Putin defer to him and leave Russia, if they can.
Russians bow their head and herd up. That is their nature. No one looks where they are going or who is leading them. That is deadly in business, and international politics.
...Cue the music... You know what is coming...

you watched too much television from hollywood my boy. you bought the mom and dad perfect world, didn't you, whether it was brady bunch or leave it to beaver. it's a wonderful world. i want to buy the world coke. (think about that one, it worked apparently)
nobody comes to america except the trash. if you live in any part of the world and have an education and a good family and decent employment - you did not come to 'america'. and that's been the case for almost 400 years. the country is built on religious fanatics, slaves, prisoners and uneducated, desperate trash. that's why we are so stupid, violent and uneducated, we are the wild west, we live by violence and stupidity and will continue to do so, until stopped. and we will eventually be stopped.
why are we the 'police force' of the world? for the big banks and big corporations of usa. nothing more. stop lying to yourself. and as long as we continue to fund their rape of the universe, they will leave us alone (relative to the other parts of the world). as soon as we stop buying into them, the rape begins at home, and the trash that works for them don't care about anybody else.
'There is a reason why the USA has a large footprint in the world.'
Yes there is, the US has a huge military and loves to invade other countries and carry out regime change to further its own interest, in short it has a huge footprint because it has large hobnailed boots on that it likes to use to kick the crap out of other countries. It is not that the US is deliberately trying to do evil, it simply has the idea that it can force its will on other countries by force and is not too worried about the body count as long as it is not US citizens. That pretty well sums up US foreign policy.
If you want an interesting historical context, watch the 2012 BBC series : )
you really are a fukin knucklehead head canuck head.

Bookends to a sordid era.
If this is the case then Putin, BRICS should do the best they can to eleminate these oligarch persons, strating from the top down...rather than deal with their toys...US Govt.
How long have folks been saying that? The problem is that by the time you are in a position to get close enough, you are in a position to take advantage of the graft. Besides, you can't eliminate a cockroach infestation one roach at a time.
There was a thread here on ZH recently about Putin,
with comment that Putin and Kissinger are good friends,
implying that Putin is also part of the same NWO agenda conspiracy.
It's like we're searching desperately for an "Arch Duke" moment. This shit just writes itself does it not?
There is a reason for the massive Deep Underground Military Bases (DUMB) that have been built up since 911.
I think that the Oligarchs think that they can survive when they launch nuclear weapons against Russia and China, while eveyone else is incinerated.
Of course, it will be a long stay down there since radioactivity has a half life of 500 million years.
Long half-life is low intensity radiation.
Short half-life is high intensity radiation.
Short half-life radiation source is worse.
That is why bunkers are only provisioned for short periods of time.

Looks like the Kiev junta wanted to take advantage that yesterday Mr. Putin was quite busy, as he attended the military parade in Moscow at 10 AM, then flew to Crimea for another ceremony, then he crossed the Black Sea all the way from Sevastopol to Sochi, where he played hockey in Amateur Night Hockey League and netted six goals and five assists.
ITAR-TASS (May 10, 2014): Putin scores 6 times in final game of Night Hockey League festival in Sochi
+1000. All fucking right and the pix is outstanding. Fuck the NBA.
In American hockey you're lucky to see two goals the entire game. What kind of hockey is Putin playing?
Nobody blocking the Nyet ?
Well they dare not. Putin wrestles polar bears and saddles and rides white sharks.
That total for Putin's score sounds rather Aladeen to me. Just sayin'
Remember Rockefeller dancing in Leadville? Same thing.
At least they weren't dumb enough to shoot it down.
Some decades later we'd refer to the cause of WW3/4, or whatever we're at now, as "deputy premier Dmitry Rogozin".
No, When historians look back, if there are any left, they will mark 09/11/2001 when the U.S. Government killed it's own people and started the never ending war on terror (war on freedom in the vernacular of the people) as the date WWIII started.
There is a way to depart; the way is for Russian jets to overfly both countries and bring their top ranking official home.
And to think she won’t do it, is to underestimate Valdimir Putin.
He got out (to Moscow) on a regular airliner (from S7 russian company). The Yak 42 was a decoy (apparentlly Rogozin was not on board of this plane).
So maybe Moscow is listening in on the plans of the west.
It it Russias turn now to say "Fuck you EUUS".
Ooooooo, that's gonna leave a mark.
Jeez, ya think they got the proverbial green light from DC... or was it that Nuland called Yats to tell him what to do?
Yats’ Bela-Kun-like Junta is beyond savagery. There are certain basic characteristics of humans and when they are absent, and their primitiveness backed first by an illegitimate government and second by the highly sophisticated weaponry of a superpower, then these former humans become animals and a danger to the entire human race.
Case in point:
Medical jet due to pick up badly wounded RT stringer denied landing in Ukraine
Edited time: May 10, 2014 15:12
A German medical jet which was to be hired by RT TV channel in order to pick up RT’s stringer, critically wounded during a military operation in Mariupol, was denied landing in the eastern Ukrainian city, gripped by unrest.
A 23-year-old cameraman on RT’s Ruptly team was wounded during the armed assault of Kiev’s army on Mariupol police HQ on Friday. Currently he is fighting for his life in hospital, doctors say that he is in a serious condition. In spite of his bulletproof vest the cameraman sustained a serious injury in the abdomen.
A resident in Mariupol saw the RT journalist being wounded.
“Your employee was on [Georgievskaya] street,” not far from the Internal Affairs HQ building where the fighting took place the resident said.
“We were approximately 300-400 meters away from the Internal Affairs HQ building. Your journalist was showing to the armed people in masks that he had no arms on him and that he was with the press, that he was a journalist. Then he tried to cross the street, and that’s when the shot was made, and he fell down.” …

Back in March Russia closed its airspace to a French plane flying from China
I recall flying on Ukraine air from New Delhi to Kiev, flew over Russian airspace
Russia can cause great problems for foreign aircraft if it closes it own airspace
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014765417
The Ukrainians need to put down the proverbial crack pipe, sober up, and come to grips that as unfair it is to be influenced/dominated by Moscow, to ally with the US/New World Order is completely irrational.
Yatz and his band of banker lackeys will be cut loose by the CIA to the Russian SF so fast, they won't have time to call Olga to get the kids ready for the jet.
The neo-West is in collapse. Faux promised by the EU of free travel and VAT exception won't matter anyway in a few years.
Olga?
I suspect Olga is used as a "colloquialism" in the same manner that "Betty" is used... referring to the ubiquitous "Wife".
This is what I intended.
Ask yourself just how far off the reservation from international rule of law can "we" still go? This far!
What I wouldn't give to see this bitch burned alive along with the rest of pliant DOS/CIA/NSA "yes" crowd!
They should all be fucking shot!
Captian nemo, The rulers of the west are now showing their true evil intents. What they do today to Odessa people, they will do in future to us and like minded people. The rulers in Washington are now stone cold killers, they will not stop at the sight of innocent blood. Evil has shifted from the old USSR and older Nazi German elements, that evil has now taken up residence in Washington DC, and we people have allowed it to happen.
+100.
Evil is in all the Financial capitals of the Banksters,
at least since 1913.
JB Ditto.
The only thing i'll add to what you just said is that their is still sand running through that "hour glass" to make it change.
I keep looking at the pictures and videos of those Ukrainian women using there own bodies to stop a tank knowing full well that the guy in that 30 ton piece of armor could roll over them just like that -but they do it anyway!
Let's hope when that happens to us we have that much courage and audacity to "say enough", and if you decide to kill me the numbers that follow me along with the odds are against you!!!
I don't think it's a good idea to wait to be called a coward while somebody else does your dirty job for you of stopping what you started either directly or indirectly...
So maybe this Nation of cowards can suprise itself by taking the initiative to stop now what they've ignored for far too long and that may be unalterable?!!!
More color on the story from the Voice of Russia. According to them, the US using their Romanian and Ukranian proxies got outsmarted again.

Russian deputy PM's plane forced out of Ukraine air space by warplanes
'Earlier on Saturday, Rogozin said both Ukraine and Romania were denying him permission to fly over their territory. "Romania has closed its air space to my plane at the demand of the United States. Ukraine again refuses to let it through," he tweeted...
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said he had returned to Moscow from Moldova even though his plane had been forced to fly back to Chisinau by Ukrainian interceptors.
"Ukrainian interceptor aircraft forced our plane to make a U-turn," Rogozin wrote in his Twitter account on Saturday, May 10.
Several minutes later he added "But the defense industry has its own trails. I am already in Moscow. And the [Kiev] junta left in the basket." To prove his words, Rogozin posted a photo of himself in front of Moscow’s Domodedovo airport.
The Russian Embassy in Chisinau told TASS that Rogozin must have travelled to Russia by a regular flight and was not on the plane intercepted over Ukraine.'
Yulia the Gas Queen of Ukraine flexing her muscles. As I mentioned in other posts, Ukraine is under orders to provoke Russia into action, and this will not stop at small cases like this airspace conflict. Nope, Kiev's Coup leades are following ordes from the CIA, who are in fact, the coup government. They must force Russia across the bordes in order to gain the pretext for a NATO invasion and occupation of all Ukraine, minus Crimea, even NATO does not want to be nuked.
This is exactly right. They've been trying to openly provoke since Syria, and the extent of the media involvement shows how deep the psyops are.
And whatever you think of the Russian state at this point, there are plenty of negatives, they are trying to prevent WWIII and have shown near impossible restraint. With all this provocation (mortars today it seems) Russian officials are having to think very deeply and plan actions carefully.
All we can hope for now is to avoid WWIII and that the American/NATO forces thin themselves enough that when revolution brings down the States there won't be enough of them to harm the good American common people (and hopefully its vassal NATO states will follow suit).
These NATO motherfuckers want a war badly.
Nothing like a nice little war to distract the citizenry from domestic incompetence, but they are going about it incompetently. Hang in there, Val, don't take the bait. Get the check.
That's great, but WHO is gonna do the fighting for them when push comes to shove ?
I'm in no mood to go up in arms for these m0r0ns.
Are you ?
Here is Rogozin and his escort arriving at Chisinau (Kishinev) Int'l Airport to embark on a regular flight to Moscow operated by S-7 Arlines (of Russia).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnF1M8A7TrE
Upon arriving safely in Moscow he said:
“Romania has closed its airspace for my plane on U.S. demand. Ukraine was not letting us through again.”
“Next time I will fly by Tupolev-160 [strategic bomber],” he said.
Similar to the B-1 bomber.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-160
Somewhat out-dated.
But now threatening Nuclear War?
Tu-160 has considerably bigger combat radius and payload...
At least he has a sense of humor.
(They better hope)
This is beginning to look like 1938 or 1914. Everyone knew what was happening but.could.not.help.them.selves.as they.staggered.towards.war.
extreme stupidity and belligerence never develop
the stuff of civilisation, capital if you like.
the fed, the imf and the banksters are very slow
learners. the bunch in kiev, seems there
is no hope. d.c., state department, and wall street,
apparently the same problem.

[KR599] Keiser Report: The Speculation Game

UPDATE:
http://news.yahoo.com/romania-queries-moscow-deputy-pm-sends-bomber-jet-...
I suppose Yahoo has interpreted that a certain way.
https://twitter.com/Rogozin/statuses/465053558124314625
"Romania at the request of the United States closed my board airspace. Ukraine does not pass again.
The next time I go in a TU-160"
according to Google Translate.
Maybe he just means "the next time I might get trapped in a landlocked country".
Q: How much longer will Russia tolerate this?
A: Not much.
Next time Russia will clear a safe path first. A simple task, for them.
Not as simple when considering shoulder launched munitions. Take a train and let sleeping dogs lay, things are moving too fast already.
Meanwhile, they're still looking (cough) for the other lost plane....
http://www.stevequayle.com/index.php?s=33&d=924
That story was reported elsewhere several days ago.
Cannot find the link at this moment.
Yes, it killed the entire rice crop and other agriculture. Putin has said the farmers will be compensated. Stupid, vindictive move and they will be sorry they did it, but not until after the gaz bill is paid.
Rogozin's flyover is one thing and now another one is this:
Ukraine builds dam cutting off Crimea water supply

Being land-locked is another good reason to possess nukes. Then you ask for permission to use air-space, pretty-please.
The flight number given in this article, RSJ9602, is presently ( at time of posting this reply ),flying over Shakhty/ Kamensk-Shakhtinsky Russia, heading in a northerly direction.I guess it flew around Ukraine, out over the sea ?

edit ; Zoom out and see. flight path is Maldova, Romania, out across sea to north Turkish coast line and then due north the Russia, and that is current may 10th 2014.
You can assume that it was allowed to fly out as long as the target was not on board
You can assume what you like, don't instruct nor expect me to do likewise.
Isn't that little gulf I see connected to Moldovia, a path out?
Rogozin looks like us (U.S.)
So let's speculate that maybe the Israelis have at least one nuke buried under at least one EU city - like Frankfurt - just waiting for the right moment to light it off and watch the boobies of the world declare war on Russia because of "NATO obligations". Then while the entire Northern hemisphere goes ballistic (literally) they get to sit back and watch the fireworks in the Northern skies.
Nah. Couldn't ever happen. Too many smart people in charge.
F'in wheak and ghay scenario, ignorant of any reality. Oh, you are aware that Israel is in the northern hemisphere, at about the same latitude as Charlestown, NC, I hope.
If we're going to "speculate" (in this case, as in many others, speculators often lose), then we have to "speculate" that Israel has several uranium/plutonium processing sites to produce several different types of pits for bombs, as well as the different types of mechanisms used for them.
Then we have to speculate that absent a misslie launch or other military action that ANY country would view the detonation as anything but a terrorist act.
Then we have to speculate that there would be some kind of rapid retaliation (there would not be).
At last, we have to speculate (once again) that forensics wouldn't be used to determine the relative makeup or origin (isotopic analysis of tamper signature, fuel used) of the device.
I'll speculate that if said bomb was going to go off under Frankfurt, space aliens would use their powers to stop it from happening...
Which has a much greater possibility of happening than this "buried nuke" cartoon plot.
It would of been hard to imagine but this is about to escalate into a shooting war. 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 should be noted the military of Ukraine is divided and extremely weak. More about this subject in the article below.

The oligarchs have to do something soon. They are on a short timeline to blowing up their fiat currency con game and I don't see where they have a ready replacement in place, like the SDR should have been. In the meantime it looks like they are trying to save the dollar with the tapering but maybe they think its too late? They look like they are kind of desperate, abandoning the slow boiling frog approach to sovereign nation destruction and going the bash the frog on the head approach instead. Unless Putin is in cahoots with them the bash the frog is going to result in nuclear war, my guess is Putin is part of a different oligarchy and not in it with them. If the Rottenchild oligarchs has time they would cool their foot and wait for Putin to pass normally but they probably don't have time. I don't know if they think they can hang out underground in a mostly extinct world and go on oligarching from there. I get this feeling like the Rottenchild bloodline has hit upon a stupid family leader who has come up against a smart adversary. These things happen in all sporting events if you wait long enough a previously weak team overcomes a traditionally stronger opponent. Besides if Rottenchild really wants a war why all the posturing? Just get one of his NATO cronies to launch some nukes at Russia and war it is. I don't know if anybody including those "in the know" really know whats going on, they are playing chess or go with Putin and its developing as the game unfolds. In the meantime all of us armchair generals at ZH will keep each other posted until all this goes away, or we do.
"Ukraine Scrambles Fighter Jets"
my hunch is eggs would be preferred.

There's also this: "Upon the US request Romania has closed its air space for my plane. Ukraine doesn't allow me to pass through again. Next time I'll fly on board TU-160"
Get a Pass to fly , as was done 9-11?
Very few fights that day.........But there was a few, a very special Few.
This guy only wanted One.
