It Begins: Canada To Send Military Equipment To Ukraine

Tyler Durden's picture




 

And so it begins.

Moments ago Bloomberg reported, citing Defense minister Rob Nicholson speaking in Trenton, Ontario, that Canada, a NATO member, will send military equipment to Ukraine. Ukraine will in turn supposedly use supplies to protect eastern border Nicholson speaking to reporters, although perhaps one should ask ISIS where US military equipment that was meant for Al-Qaeda, pardon, Syrian rebels to dethrone Assad ended up...

To be sure this expansion is purely symbolic however the first formal entrance of a NATO member into the Ukraine conflict will assure it only escalates from here.

What happens next is anyone's guess, however with this formal expansion of the "regional" proxy war to include western powers, thereby making the new Cold War quite warm, Putin will certainly take an appropriate response seeing what was until now a confined civil war involving "only" Ukraine participants, if only on paper, expand into global. Keep in mind that while Putin may well have been supporting the east Ukraine rebels, there was never any formal admission of this. Now that brand new NATO forces will be effectively on the Russian borders, the Kremlin may have just the pretext it needed to justify its military expansion into a conflict which it will claim is merely for self-preservation against clear NATO involvement and expansion, i.e., "defensive."

Furthemore, since Canada is now involved, expect other NATO member countries to also jump in, thus provoking the Russian bear that much more and leading to a sequence of events that will hardly be pleasant for anyone.

Canada takes its final orders from Britain.  Britain takes its order from City of London.

It will be harder for NATO to inject itself if things heat up too quick, so the smartest thing to do is put some assets in theater with some advisers and otherwise preposition some tanks and air defense. Poland is the one namely pushing for all of this - or at least they are the stooges set up by all these old tri-lats headed by Zbig.

Even ten years ago I would tell a young person to join the military, learn a skill and discipline and see the world.  Now all I can think is that all those kids are fodder for what exactly?

You're using the wrong zodiac. 

Although Cetus is not generally considered part of the zodiac, the ecliptic passes less than a quarter of a degree from its constellation boundary, and thus the moon, planets, and even part of the sun may be in Cetus for brief periods of time.

"Ukraine to get helmets"

That will cut down the number of friendly fire incidents, since the helmets are of a different design, so there's that.  Not that the Ukie military will be all that close to the enemy.  They seem to prefer action at a distance.  Any closer than a few miles and they mostly bug out to Russia.  Mostly.

We Canadians are now engaged because the pussy American Armed Froces who we kick in the asses at every training exercise can only fire from drones.

 

We call your tough guys - The Nancy Boys.....

It's best ot leave the man work to men. Recently in some joint  exercises we held with your big tough Marines - your tough guys backed off one tough exercise cause you didn't have the skills required.

Actually what it was was the Army brass and on the ground leaders nearly pissed their pants in fear in combat exercises.

The Cdn leadership took over as we always do.

You Nancy boys best stay manning the drones.

It's better this way. Putin knows its serious now. There is a reason they call us peacekeepers.

It is because we get the job done without the Nancy boy whine. We inflict hurt - It is why we go in.

Hey Fuckwad.   Maybe you aren't aware that what you were dealing with in that Military Exercise was the 1st (Don't Ask, Don't Tell) Division of the USMC.  They usually send them out when facing the French and the Canadians.   I doubt that one tough exercise you mentioned didn't involve your bending over and repelling a charge from the rear.  If that had been the case....there would have been some serious hurt inflicted on your brave troops.  Consider yourself lucky.  Next time the US might send a platoon of Lesbians.   lol

They are talking crap. The Americans and Canadians have always worked well together. Look at the 1st Special Service Force of WWII. There are lots of stories of Americans enlisting as Canadians in WW1 & WW2 to get into the fight earlier.

As for training exercise stories, the one I like happened 20+ years ago. The Canadian Air Force had an American Tech Sargent on exchange hot rod the electronics of some air to air missile systems to increase the range. During the exercise, the Canadians hit the Americans at ranges beyond the technical specifications stated for the missile system.

Lots of drinks were had all around.

Edwards Air Force Base is named after a guy from Medicine Hat.

Never thought I'd see the day that a Canadian Prime Minister would go to the Ukraine to meet with a guy who was helped into power by neo-nazi thugs that overthrew  a government.Courtesy of The U.S. State Department.Stephen Harper was helped into power himself years ago by a strong religious movement that was thriving primarily up and along the foothills regions of Alberta.They were very right wing Christian fundamentalists that actually preached in Church against the Liberals and especially against the NDP(New Democratic Party) which is left of center.He just used them all to get in and basically since getting in has turned into a big fat slob with a belly on him that makes him look pregnant from drinking heavily.Typical jerkoff Keynesian trained economics & geography BA moron from the University of Calgary.I know that he helped put Mark Emery(his site is Cannabis Culture Magazine in Vancouver) into the U.S. prison goulag for selling mail-order pot seeds to Americans.Most Canadians have always prided themselves for having Liberal Prime Ministers that have a certain independance about them from American Presidents and being known as peacekeepers.It's a big disappointment to see this in his last months of office.It was rumoured on a lot of Canadian internet sites that his wife had an affair with the RCMP member that was in charge of the Prime Ministers' security detail.The main press in Canada refused to tell the story.She was fucking this guy pretty good on the slide for a long time and the RCMP guy was kicked off the team.

How do what are otherwise great countries with great courageous friendly people like Canada and the U.S.A end up with such vile cock sucking shit heads as leaders ? WW1 was just yesterday, nothings been learned, when I think of what WW1 did to my grandfathers life, he was a Canadian in the front and was gassed. Took him years to die afterwards. Here stupid cowardly pigs like Harper who for reasons known only to themselves prefer to suck the cocks of foreigners like nutayahoo rather than care about their own people, blindly and stupidly drag their countrymen into horrible wars. I can't help but wonder if WW3 and the long night for humanity is just around the corner. I guess they think if they act insane enough everyone (Putin) will give way before them and let them take whatever they want. Harper is a volunteer cocksucker with the soul of a goat following behind the tool O. and his owners ( Whoever they are). Looking around at the increasingly awful news it sure seems like something is figuratively slinking towards Bethlehem to be born. A game of nuclear brinksmanship seems possible in the near future the way the nato twats are heading. I hope some adult or adults on the planet care more about humanity than nationality and stay away from the edge of the cliff.

Well the Dutch have delayed publishing anything on the MH17 downing until at least 'sometime' in September.

Clearly TPTB are giving Kiev as long as possible to trash the crash site (Kiev announced today that it was no longer protected) and crush the Militia. So that all the physical evidence is under Western control. Whatever the Russians say will be blanked by the MSN.

Job done

Dutch Safety Board says preliminary report on Ukraine plane disaster delayed for weeks Published August 06, 2014 Associated Press

The Dutch Safety Board says its preliminary report into the cause of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 disaster will likely not be released until sometime in September.

Flight 17 was shot down in eastern Ukraine on July 17, killing all 298 people on board, most of them Dutch. The Netherlands is leading an international investigation into the cause of the crash.

Safety Board spokesman Wim van der Weegen said Wednesday that normally under International Civil Aviation Organization rules, a preliminary report is published one month after a crash date. But in this case the difficulty in accessing the crash site amid fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian separatist rebels has pushed the timeframe back.

"It's a very complicated situation," he said.

As Canadian I would like to apologize to the rest of the world for the stance the Canadian government has taken.  Our economy will be devastated by the Russian sanctions.  Sadly, I voted for these clowns because, well because there was really no alternative.  I have refused to pay taxes for the last decade because the government doesn't represent my views, and I dare say the views of most Canadians.   You have every right to disparage this government, but remember, like in the US and the EU, the government does not represent the views of the populace.

Three words on this:  "The Dirty Dozen". 

Major Reisman is assigned an unusual and top-secret pre-invasion mission: gather a small band of the Army's worst ex-soldier convicts (some awaiting execution) and turn them into commandos to be sent on a suicide mission, an airborne infiltration and assault on a chateau near Rennes in Brittany. The chateau will be hosting a meeting of dozens of high-ranking German officers, the elimination of which will presumably hamper the German military's ability to respond to D-Day. Those felons who survive the mission will have their sentences commuted and returned to active duty. However, Reisman repeatedly tells the men that few of them will be coming back home.

anybody at all still wondering where this is headed?

this is from interfax Ukriane-

"Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk and NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who is visiting Ukraine now, discussed joint steps meant for further deepening of the country's cooperation with the alliance, the government's Web site reported.

"To be more precise, the matter concerns cooperation in the frames of the instrument of Annual National Programme, as well as a use of the NATO-based new Trust Funds to maintain defense capacity of Ukraine with the material-technical provisions, communication management system, cybernetic protection, and social adaptation of soldiers transferred to the reserve," the report said.

Yatseniuk said how important to apply joint efforts to overcome menace to European security represented by Russia against Ukraine. He also welcomed an active position of the alliance that condemns Russia's annexation of Crimea and aggressive actions on the east of Ukraine.

Yatseniuk and Rasmussen said it is important to take additional measures to respond to the development of the situation in Ukraine on the results of the NATO future summit, which is to be held in Great Britain on September 4-5."

meaning that Kiev will be a member of NATO in fact even if not in name, wonder how that will play in Moscow?

somebody should clue the brain trust in Washington and Brussels to the fact that now might not be the best time for this shit as I think we might just have a more pressing matter at hand...

not that they care I'm sure sure, after all they are currently putting millions, maybe hundreds of millions of lives at risk in pursuit of their agenda.

so now it's "damn the Ebola, full speed ahead" I guess.

Better still, how will that play in Munich or Paris?  They will NOT be happy if they are asked to help bail Kiev's a** out of hot water if Kiev manages to entice Russia into invading.  They were the ones who blackballed Georgia's membership for its "frozen conflicts" and they do not want to be the bodyguard for any little tinpot country that thinks it can whip the bear.

Geopolitically, this is a shrewd move.

It is shrewd because Canada already borders Russia to the North. 

So it is hard to justify military action due to their proximity to the Russian border...because they have always shared a northern border.

People who are used to 2D maps rather than 3D globes tend to forget that Russia and Canada are already neighbors.

 

I should add, I suppose, that neither the US, nor Canada has any business interfering with the Ukrainian Civil War.

But i don't think it is Russia's business either.

Canada sending non-lethal military supplies to Ukraine.

The Chronicle Herald  · 2 hrs ago

TRENTON, Ont. -- Defence Minister Rob Nicholson says Canada is sending non-lethal military equipment to Ukraine to help the country protect its eastern border against Russian aggression. The announcement was made at a military base in Trenton, Ont., today where a Hercules military plane loaded with "non-kinetic military equipment" -- the first in a series of military transport flights -- is set to take off from.

If I were Canada's military I'd be watching the guns for hire from Blackwater/Xi/Academi and their "blue helmet" counterparts that are already on the ground desperate to use you as another "MH-17 event" in order to get the snowball moving further...

I would hope the Canadians would be out on the streets in protest of a non-NATO member being supplied with logistics and weapons which is a flagrant violation of both NATO membership and the Hague but that's never stopped us in the past when you look at everything leading up-to and post overthrow of the Ukraine government in March.

My sincere hope is that Cannucks tell Harper and the rest of the Parliament to "go fuck itself" and not on there dime another U.S. made holocaust!

Like everything American the Canadian government will simply sit back to see if any objections rise in the "oven".  Let's hope it's a two pound loaf of bread made with 12 eggs and 1 pound of baking powder!

Without a swift move by Putin, NATO will be in there even though Ukie is not a NATO member and has no business interfering at all. And once in there, NATO will probably never leave and Putin will have been outsmarted with NATO on his doorstep forever more.

This is an incredible read and does your heart good to know that in all the suffering and misery the U.S., Israel and England have created with Russia's neighbor they are united and splitting the Kiev government wide open.

In reverse to the United (fucked up) States of America...  You won't survive because you possess none of the traits that are so enviable in this read that the Russians and Ukrainians have. I'm an American and I can say with alacrity we are the exact opposite of everything these people are and that if our government succeeds in getting us into war in Eastern Europe Russia will be wiping the mat with us!
