What The Sky Above Ukraine Looks Like Right Now

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With virtually every airline now avoiding to fly above east Ukraine like the airborne version of the plague (observed recently in Denver) for obvious reasons, here is a snapshot of what the sky over east Ukraine looks like courtesy of FlightRadar 24.

It is, in brief, a ghost sky.

The highlighted plane belong to Ukraine Airlines. All the other, yellow, ones are doing their best to fly well inside Russian borders.

Putin is still a Soviet KGB as are the Russians who live in the Ukraine. Putin is a BAD ACTOR.

On June 14 the rebels used a buk to destroy a Ukrainian forces plane
21-48, Today the militia for the destruction of the plane an-26 of the enemy at height more than 6000 meters was used ADMS “KM” (better known as “Buck”). A few weeks ago it was reported about the seizure of the host of these systems. Now they are refurbished, complete with crews and put into operation.

Military exercise
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_exercise

A military exercise or war game is the employment of military resources in training for military operations, either exploring the effects of warfare or testing strategies without actual combat. Exercises in the 20th century have often been identified by a unique codename in the same manner as military operations.

I finally understand what the Left-Hand sniffers, CAIR rectum-snooters, and Putzin-baggers are trying to get us clueless grazers to wake up and See:

Israel/Zionist/Tribers obtained the Russian SAM, inserted a special obs team into Mother Russia and shot down the passenger jet carrying almost three hundred civilians.  

Motives:

  1. Precipitate an escalation and possibly war between the Western Ziopuppets nations and Putzin's Peeps
  2. Draw attention away from the ZioNazis' invasion of Gaza so that they may murder thousands and thousands of freedom fighting fruit of Islam
  3. To further inflame and defame the Muslim world by shooting down a Muslim nation's airliner, and let's face it those Jooos likely were responsible for the disappearance of the other Malaysian airliner (stay tuned for its reappearance in the next part of the Zio's world wide operation)...Maybe with a nuke or other WMD into a major site and blame who else but the nascent community organizing groups (NGO's) like Hamamas, MB, Hellezbaba, Fartah, ISIS, Al Squids Brigades, Al Quesedia, Poko Haram, and dozens more continuing the Tribe's smearing of these 'patriots.'
  • And of course the increasing instability will bolster the Oil - Bankster profit making center.  Wash, rinse, and repeat.

Whats strange is that the hearder said that the plane was coming from the east. Also he mentioned thunder sounds. Could that be one of Kievs fighter planes that came from the east and "met" the boeing?

On July 28 my secretary is flying from Kyiv to Moscow. Todays russian shoot down news has made her a little vervous. She speaks Russian and Ukranian and her friends tell her that the Kyiv to Moscow trains are more risky than flying. I rode a train to Donetesk once and found it was interesting but very basic. I found Donnetesk to be an interesting city but did not see any Ukrainian and Russian cultural differences that were obvious to me. The people I saw during my lecture were serious, genuine, hard working, and personally warm. I will travel myself again in August to Kyiv. Strangely I am looking forward to seeing how the country is evolving since my last lecture on anti-corruption equipment.

...Strangely I am looking forward to seeing how the country is evolving...

Whoa! Haaaaayyyyoooo!

That's some funny shit, there. Perhaps a bit too soon, but hilarious.

I could save you some travel expense and possibly a good deal of your own blood, bone and muscle tissue and just catch you up on the fact that...it isn't fucking evolving at all. You just thaw out of a cryogenic tank, there, chief?

Thank you for your responce Indy

When I travel there I am in good hands. Also the news media paints the Ukraine as only one unhappy dangerous color, and from my employees stories and pictures I feel Kyiv is safe for my purposes. I have traveled to Donnetesk in the past but under no incentives would I go there now.

I will make the fragment of the sentence you quoted more complete. (Strangely I am less concerned with my safety than understanding how the I can help their new government evolve to fight corruption, or if they can.) Petty government corruption is the heart of the Ukraines orriginal discontent.

The greatest differences are the ones that no one talks about.

No one talks about the greatest differences because they are so central to their world view that they simply assume no one could have a different perspective.

You won't see the differences in the people - they are the same - same as the Russians for that matter.  You won't see the difference in architecture - it is mostly Soviet  with some Colonial and old Baroque thrown in.

The Art and religion are mostly the same.

You will see it mostly in with whom they identify.  And they are different because of historical reasons.  West Ukraine identifies more with Germany, Poland, and the Baltics.  It has been that way since the "Princes of the West" unified to stop Chatugai and the Mongol Horde nearly 600 years ago.

Most of the last six hundred years political control of Ukraine has been split between a Western European power and Russia, with the borders roughly corresponding to the current Ukrainian East-West divide. 

Beginning in the 18th Century more of Central Ukraine fell under Russian control.  Cossack rebellions were put down.   And use of the Ukrainian language or Roman alphabet was prohibited.

The name 'Ukraine'  is a conjunction of two words 'U'  (Near or at) Kraina (Edge)

The West of Ukraine sees themselves as the edge of the West.  The East of Ukraine sees themselves as the edge of the East.

 

To use an analogy:  It is like a divorce where the Western Powers were 'Dad' and Russia was 'Mom'  and the children 'Ukraine' was split between them.  And has remained split in spirit ever since.

no 'princes of the west' stopped the mongols.  it was batu and subutei, not chagatai, that stopped themselves in german/czech lands, in order to return to the mongol great khan elections

So, all that happened tonight was that Barry Obama tried to pop Putin, and in the American way, he failed. Shit happens, what's the problem?

He's called daffy for a reason!

"Funny how ISIS and Al Nusra etc never attack Israel." That's simple jew-hater, they would get pounded into the dust if they ever tried it.

Instead you go full retard and blame the Jews for being ISIS. Proof positive that ya can't fix stupid.

Somebody sure seems to have it in for Malaysian Airlines.

One detail that may be relevant: the Ukrainian Army is losing the war on three fronts now. The rebels appear to be getting equal equipment from "somewhere."

The rebels have the black boxes and are sending them to Moscow for analysis.

If you think the ruskys can't fight because they're coked up and buzzed, think again. I'm no fan of neo-Nazis, but they could whip ass all over the seven continents.
