US Accuses Russia Of Sending 10 Tanks Into Ukraine; Russia Responds Merely "Enhancing Border Security"
US officials are "readying targeted sanctions on finance, defense, and tech sectors," as they tell Bloomberg that 10 Russian tanks crossed the border into Ukraine in the last 24 hours. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official noted that EU-US discussions on Ukraine are intensifying. Russia has responded, "we are surprised by statements of alleged deployment of Russian troops along the border with Ukraine. In this case, there is no military buildup, there are only measures to strengthen the border security of the Russian Federation, measures taken on direct instructions from Russian president." This is all occurring with the background of Poroshenko's cease-fire plan.

The US official's comments appear to reflect Ukraine Pravda...
"We have had operational reports that 10 Grad BM-21 military vehicles have crossed the Ukrainian state border and are in Ukrainian territory", said Koval.
According to him, one vehicle has been caught and destroyed.
The Ukrainian military have found evidence that it belongs to the Russian army.
And of course, the US has its YouTube clips...
As Interpretermag reports, a closer inspection of a video of Russian armoured vehicles being transported near the border at Millerovo yesterday shows that a number of the vehicles are unmarked, like those seen in eastern Ukraine.
But Russia is denying the intrusion...
Moscow is surprised by allegations of a buildup of Russian troops near Ukraine, saying it is only taking measures backed by European leaders to better protect its border, a Kremlin spokesman said Friday.
Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, said Russia had to tighten security at the Ukrainian border "because it is being increasingly violated, including by military vehicles."
"We are surprised by statements of alleged deployment of Russian troops along the border with Ukraine. In this case, there is no military buildup, there are only measures to strengthen the border security of the Russian Federation, measures taken on direct instructions from Russian president," Peskov said.
"[The instructions] were given several weeks ago, and they were made public and received a positive response from European leaders," the spokesman added.
“As for the troop numbers, this is defined by the need to ensure the due level of border security,” Peskov said.
While markets appear to have shrugged off any and every potential WWIII related geopolitcs, the Ukraine tensions are re-building and if the US does sectoral sanctions, we can only imagine the 'boomerang' that Russia will throw.

Putin doing a little community organizing. Just a little jab at Obama. Nothing to see here. YET!
War will break out in commeration of the anniversary of WWI.
Nothing like a little military adventurism to stoke that celebratory spirit.
Medals for everyone! Two for Kerry!
Obama: "What the hell is 'border security'"?
border security: keeping americans inside.
shakabrah!
A lot of restraint by Russia.
If this were happening on Canadian border US tanks would already be in Toronto.
Russia needs to respond "Sorry, we lost fucking hard drive"
6. Il 76 shoot down in area of Lugansk searched by Novorossiya forces the morning after. Ukr forces had secured site and removed all bodies and documents at night. Novorossiya forces found many Ukr had missed at site after day came. Many identification documents were Polish, one FRG. Confirmed.

Damn! The Mexicans must be pouring into Russia from Ukraine too!
WTF - according to Wiki, the BM-21 is a rocket launcher, not a tank:

Do you honestly expect the media to be accurate about anything involving military equipment? It would be like asking me about the Versace catalog.
US Accuses Russia Of Sending 10 Tanks Into Ukraine; Russia Responds Merely "Enhancing Border Security"
Gee.. I never thought a godless commie could be so right..
Um.. maybe I need to rethink that godless part…
Then again.. They could be all lined up for the free tank and APC wash that goes with every fill up in Ukraine.
And it's really nice weather for a wash & wax of the 'ol battle tank..
FUCK YOU, OBAMA! Why doesn't your sorry, treasonous, worthless ass worry more about America's borders first and quit fucking around with the middle east and eastern Europe, you fucking douche bag.
And yes, ordering border patrol and DHS to willfully allow illegal aliens to invade America's borders and overrun our cities and to use tax payer dollars to buy these people bus tickets and grant them amnesty IS TREASON, you fucking scumbag.
Not only should you be impeached, but then hung from the top of Statue of Liberty as a warning for all the other Marxist traitors in this country.
Bring back McCarthy!!! It's obvious he was more than right all along!!!
Hey Save_America, don't mince your words. Tell us how you really feel. :)
I always do. looks like obama or one of his NSA douchebag bitchez down-voted me. ;-)
cocksucker in chief.
I am sure those tanks are simply "advisors" in similar capacity to the 300 green berets Barry just sent to "advise" Eye-Rack.
Why do you act as if this is all real? Everything that has made you mad happens solely in order to make you mad.
It's pure divide and conquer, and as long as you believe in it, you are aiding and abbetting Obummer and the rest of the stooges by demanding they be held accountable to a facade.
Simply put, you'll never eradicate evil by using the same evil means that empower them. All you do is to empower the next generation of evil-do(good)ers.
(and no, I didn't junk you)
Well when people are younger they can fuck to divert attention away from the old fart fucking up the world, but eventually they become the old farts fucking up the world. It sucks.
Buckwheat the fudge-packing, big-eared, Kenyan Dung Beetle loves the porous Southern border for numerous reasons. Drug smuggling, gun running, human trafficking of future voters, etc...
War by Oct-Nov? any bets? just askin.......I'm an optimist....
(gotta go to Aldi to buy more Spam)
Speaking of tanks, military tanks,
I wonder if the M1A1 Abrams tanks used in Iraq returned homeland?
Hate to think such heavy weapons "fell" into ISIS hands when they could be used here in 'Murica to put down rebels, terrorists and US veterans who served in IRaq, freeing the people there.
Just wondering.
ISIS In Iraq and The Path To Iran
Brandon Turbeville / Activist Post
20 June 2014
"One of the reasons for directing ISIS’ assault against Iraq is the ability to arm the organization with heavy military equipment to then be funneled across the border into Syria for use in that country. Such equipment as tanks, Humvees, and even helicopters could thus be written off as a mistake and not the backdoor weapons transfer that it was.
"Second, and more likely, is the possibility that the United States has allowed ISIS to conquer Iraqi territory so as to justify the eventual invasion of Syria in addition to the reinvasion of Iraq…"
What's going on in Iraq again? Oh yeah more boots on the ground. Funny how it's bad for Russia to be concerned about what's going on next to their borders, yet it's okay for us to open ours up and worry about what's happening a half a world away. Maybe in bizzarro world Russia should be addressing our border situation.
Of more interest, or curiosity, why is it presumed that tanks can be shipped and generic shopkeepers are instantly trained to be able to make use of them?
I suppose driving and shooting a tank's gun is less complicated than flying a fighter jet, but I also suspect it's more complicated than driving a car -- and we do training for driving a car.
Remember when the BMP stalled in the middle of town? The shop keepers found the red button then.
Maybe they will be someday.
I mean, they're the biggest country in the world by area and the length of their borders is VAST. Somehow they don't seem to have a problem with "border porosity" like we do.
Here's hint. The Russians don't give SNAP cards, free medical care, or housing vouchers to their illegals. There is no need to 'secure' our border, we only need to take down the birdfeeder. And de-criminalize drugs. Easy and cheap.
did Noodleman ever play Risk when she was a young reptile? just wondering...
Only while the cookies were in the oven....
When are Obama and the US telling the truth? When they're not talking.
Lying on condition of anonymity, the US official said 10 Russian tanks crossed the border into Ukraine in the last 24 hours.
My source says that pro-russian forces have entered ukraine from russia from at least 4 locations, in several groups as to not be spotted.
And true that :
A year ago, there was little danger of war between major powers. No longer true: Russia vs Baltics/NATO? China vs VN/Japan? Guns of August?
My source? It isn't like the Russians are hiding it. The information is all over YT and other sites. Where is this "border" they speak about anyway? I'm guessing it could be anywhere East of Kiev. If the West wants to argue about it too, the border could be West of Kiev. The choice isn't theirs at the moment anyway.
According to ANNA the anti-fascists have taken over a tank base in Donetsk and now have 221 tanks ??

I don't suppose many are in working order but some is better than none and they'll cannabalise them to get more working.
They are just military advisors.
..."Russia Responds Merely "Enhancing Border Security".
Hey King O, How's our border security?
Oh wait...
we don't have any.
This Sunday is All Saints day in Russia.
If Putin is going to intervene,it will be then.
Putin is not a dictator,as many believe here, and Russian public opinion is
overwhelmingly in favor of intervention.
A no fly zone, and missile strikes on Uke artillery is probably where this is heading.
At first I was marveling at Putins restraint in this shit show.
Now I'm thinking he is taking his time to get a really overwhelming show on the road. Also, if reports of Polish aircraft running missions for the Uks is true, God help those stupid fucks.
The US spends $10 billion; Putin sends a company of 10 tanks. Take a guess as to whose contribution to Ukrainian safety and stability is more cost-effective.
Do not forget that USSA spent over $5 billion just to get this party started. I am sure Soros helped out with an equivalent amount. Warmongering is tax deductible.
Another observation on Tanks.
I went to a book signing with the guy who wrote "Jarhead." Anthony Swofford. Nice enough guy. I asked him if he had actually witnessed the Highway of Death? He said yes.
Recall that A-10 Warthogs destroyed lots of military equiptment and civilian cars/trucks too. BUT, now thanks to 'Murica toppling Libya and sending Stinger/Manpads to the Al-CIada freedom fighters, the A-10 Warthog might have a tougher time.
Thanks COn-Gress, Obummer and NeO-Con/ Neo-Libs!
You ALWAYS Have America's Back! (Against the wall, that is)
AC
BTW, When Putin finally starts Shootin, this is what Nulanders will suffer.
Images for highway of death a-10 warthog
There is a big movement in the pork factory to get rid of the A-10. It's too cheap, reliable, easy to repair, and effective.
M1As tanks got brought home and there are something like 2100 of them mothballed in a Nevada desert. Army didn't want any more but there was a budget item for more (100??) supported by the senator of the state they are manufacturered in.
I'm sure the city council of Indianapolis has a bid in to purchase a dozen of the mothballed M1As, for law enforcement of course.
The U.S. should follow Russia's lead and send tanks to protect its borders.
That....and a shitload of mines.
Problem solved.
Give illegals here 30 days to put their asses in the wind. Put a bounty on those that remain. Seize all property of the illegals that remained. Give half as bounty, the other half goes for bus/air fare back south of the boarder.
Next step is toppling the Mexican Government and Army.
Should take all of two weeks. Flip a coin whether to annex as states or just leave the shithole vacant.
I say annex. They have oil and lots of beachfront. The spics want jobs? They can drywall and landscape their shithole homeland after we level it.
US still didn't give us any evidence of Russian army in Ukraine,but give us many lies like WMD in Iraq
Let me get this straight, you create catastrophic sh!t-storms in both the Ukraine & Iraq (and elsewhere) with civilain deaths in the 100's of thousands, and yet you have the cojones to accuse Russia of rolling *10* tanks across the border?!
USSA, STFU!
I honestly can't take your self-righteous blathering any more... what a sick cesspool you have become...
Looks like those scary financial sanctions have frozen the USSR in it's trackes. Russia does not give a damn what some ass-clown in D.C. says. What the fuck can they do about any move Russia makes? Oh I know...More sanctions!
In the event anyone missed it, ZeroHedge chart of Russian vs USA stock market since sanctions posted yesterday:

Better watch that talk.
Camacho may use his pen and his phone!

Regarding borders...
Not to threadjack but I thought this was a hoot.
https://news.yahoo.com/us-blacklists-thailand-malaysia-over-trafficking-...
How's the trafficking of teens and pre-teens going on across our borders? Gotta laugh at the hypocrisy.
you know some warmonger usa general would love to use those tanks for target practice if it just wasn't for those damned russian nukes. fuck fuck fuckedy fuck.
gee, i don't know why everyone wants nukes. [/sarc]
Here is what is really going on in Ukraine as the Nobel Prize Winner tells more lies:
Ukraine regime launches military blitz after floating ceasefire plan
By Bill Van Auken20 June 2014
Within barely 48 hours of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko discussing plans with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin for a supposed unilateral cease-fire, the US-backed regime in Kiev has launched the most intensive combat operations yet in its two-month-old “anti-terrorist operation” to crush opposition in war-torn eastern Ukraine.
The ceasefire proposed by Poroshenko consisted in practice of an ultimatum for self-defense forces that have opposed the regime brought to power in the US-backed and fascist-spearheaded coup last February to either lay down their arms or face attack. In addition, he made clear that the supposed truce would come only after Kiev’s military had succeeded in sealing the country’s eastern border with Russia and expelling all of the volunteers who have come from Russia and elsewhere to join in the defense of the eastern regions of Donestsk and Luhansk.
The ultimatum was delivered in the form of leaflets contained in shells fired by heavy artillery into Krasny Liman, a town of 28,000 just east of the rebel stronghold of Slavyansk. The leaflet delivered a three-hour ultimatum for the local fighters to lay down their arms and surrender. If they failed to do so, it warned: “You will all be destroyed! There will be no further warnings!”
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2014/06/20/ukra-j20.html
Most peaceful ceasefire attempt, EVAR!
In Russia they drive tank over your sanctions
"US officials are "readying targeted sanctions on finance, defense, and tech sectors,""
Never gets old and always to the point.
You stupid Americans !
Americans do not want to do this. It's our politicians and the people who own them.
I don't have any politicians, as I fucked up in picking my parents.
America is so fucked up.
DavidC
Putin to Obama - Our tanks are just rolling into the Ukraine to assist in finding those missing IRS emails since you don't know where they disappeared to...
In old Europe it was custom that you where checked by the custom officiers from the country you were entering, not the one exiting.
So Ukrain do the job yourself.
Let's take a look at the tank movement going on inside our own borders shall we?

I think that I'm more concerned about what we are doing than what Russia is doing.
Enhancing border security, something the USA knows fucking NOTHING about. Just let the illegals poor (sic) in!!!
I've said this before, and I'll say it again. No amount of brute force will keep illegals out of this country. The Russians don't keep illegals out with brute force. They just don't give them anything. No SNAP, no free medical, no free/subsidized housing. No retarded 'War on Drugs', either.
And for the record, go look how Mexico treats illegal immigrants.

That's all well and good. However, the Border Patrol checkpoints are bullshit. Needing a passport for re-entry into the US is bullshit. The walls between Mexico and the US are bullshit. Treating every US citizen like a criminal or a terrorist is bullshit.
It's common courtesy that when a country invades your country to shoot the invaders.
Mines. Bullets. Bounties. Brute force works perfectly.
Let's put Americans back to work.
You're missing the point. Take away the incentive to come here in droves, and all of the brute force shit becomes completely unneccesary.
This is the time to STOCK UP, if you can, on fuel, food, drink, supples, meds and organic seeds. It's better to wonder why the hell you stocked up on all this crap than to wish to God you had. If I had the resouces, I'd be digging bunkers like the one in the book, "The Road".
Notice, all houses & apartment are built, today, to be easily broken into. Probably, not purposely, but there it is. CYA.

Ukraine SITREP June 20th, 13:30 UTC/Zulu: Slaviansk encircled
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Saker (with whom I have no connection), writing from Florida/USA at The Vineyard of the Saker, provides, in my opinion, the most penetrating and incisive coverage* of the USA empowering vicious Nazis in Ukraine. Even the comments are informative and perceptive.
* You can confirm this by skimming his RSS feed page. Note particularly the COMBAT SITREPS.
I particularly recommend the five posts below.
Regarding the two short videos: the first is extremely powerful — WARNING: very graphic live footage beginning at [02:31], and the second is a powerful and informative 78 seconds):
[VIDEO - 04:39] '"For Inna" - a video which should be circulated worldwide'
[VIDEO - 01:18] Save Donbass People from Ukrainian Army!

very powerful video, For Inna
The disconnect is just so massive. Goes to show that the anti-war movement during the Bush era was just as astroturf as the Vietnam anti-war movement. Fucking sheep.
I sure hope John Kohn, Victoria Nudelman, O'bomb-a, and their IMF/Worldbank masters are proud.
The Ukes needed the extra iron for their gardens. ;-) I just fertilized my fist pumpkin of the growing season. My vine is already 8-9 feet long. I planted the sprouts on April 8th. No matter what pumpkins don't start producing friut until late June early July even when I plant them early.
My Jalapeno pepper seedlings are taking off after the earwigs nuked almost all of them. I went Rambo on them and won the battle.(hopefully the war)
Please explain how a "non-military" ordinary Russian or Ukrain seperatist can aquire a fuking tank in Russia.
Durring the olympics the participants in the cross country ski and shoot games had to lock up their .22 single shot bolt action rifles at the local armary.
And these guys can go to the local army surpluss store and buy a fuking tank?
Get real....
They can only be coming from the Russian government, there is no other explaination.....
Unless of course the cia stold them and then who knows...
The Uke army tank repair depots are in the east.The federalists just finished those repairs and
drove of with those tanks.
That is the joke.
"....The US Accuses..."
Hahahhahahahahahahahhahahaha!

Putin just trying to show us what to do with the Mexican border. Lead by example and all....
Russian media has just reported about Russian border area under fire from the Ukrainian side.
I SEE WHAT HE DID THERE.
WOW
Such Clever
