Video Of The Russian "Humanitarian Convoy" Setting Off For Ukraine

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Update: As Zvezda News reports, the convoy has departed toward Ukraine.

From the source, google translated:

To the east of Ukraine on the morning of August 12 departed 280 wagons with Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations humanitarian aid.   

 

The cargo was sent from Moscow Narofominsk. Total cargo weight - 2000 tons. This is the most necessary things for the civilian population affected by the carrying out of the military operation in the south-east of Ukraine, namely 400 tons of cereals, 100 tons of sugar, 62 tons of baby food, 54 tons of medical equipment and medicines, as well as 12 thousand sleeping bags and 69 power generators.

 

The operation of sending basic necessities has been agreed with the International Committee of the Red Cross. This was reported by the ITAR-TASS news agency .

 


 

As noted earlier, the Kremlin announced today that despite Western warnings not to interfere, Russia was set to dispatch a convoy of humanitarian assistance for east Ukraine, under the guise of a Red Cross mission, which would mark the first time Russians have officially entered into east Ukraine (aside from Crimea of course), even if all sides have agreed there would be no Russian military escort.

"It was noted that the Russian side, in collaboration with representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross, is sending an aid convoy to Ukraine," the Kremlin statement said, without revealing when the convoy was going.

Shortly thereafter a video was leaked of what allegedly this convoy looks like: some ~300 military vehicles, all repainted "Humanitarian White."

Furthermore, as the license plates visible in the clip show (at least on the vehicles that exhibit plates), these are military plates with a black background and where the "76" and "50" designators indicates that the vehicles were licensed in Yaroslavl and Moscow regions. The breakdown of the various regional codes can be found here.

As we stated before, the vehicles are expected to be unarmed, which means that should something "bad" happen to them while on Ukraine territory, well, the word provocation certainly comes to mind.

The complete clip is shown below.

Mr. Dissonance:

I did some homework when I changed ISPs; and tried a Wireless ISP for a short period. 

Since you read as if you're in the Ex-burbs/Rural/Mountanous region away from the Masses, I've looked up a few things for you. 

IIRC, Sprint and others were planning on a Broadcast Wireless ISP scheme for Chicago years ago.  Satellite ISP Px have been crawling downwards for a few years, so they may be viable(Dish and Direct/Hughes/Fox appear to offer services separate and/or bundled with their packages). 

I'll list a few links for you to review and sample.  You might be able to Set Up a Rig for yourself  - or assemble/incorporate/"inco-operate" a community broadband network to distribute the costs.  From what few articles I've read, the community webs have the big ISPs' panties in a bunch since they can't charge an Arm and a Leg for non-urban customers.

Well, folks, if you are looking to learn something about Russia in these end days I would suggest "Moscow to the End of the Line" by Erofeev. It is basically a theology of the alcoholic with a drunken philosophy of geopolitics. The parts on Russia, France, and America are some of the funniest things you will ever read. Think of Charles Bukowski if he were a good writer, Russian, and discussed intelligent things through his drunkenness.

Buy lots of alcohol as there are world-saving drink mixes in the book.

I agree  - alchol makes my thoughts more lucid although not much better........one can however go off on a tangent more easily.

Perhaps this is Putins greatest weakness- he is far too predicable a player.......he respond to outside stimuli as predicted by the models. 

 

Or is that the reason why he is such a wonderful asset ?

The key is to have neutral, well respected Ted Cross personnel on some of those trucks. This has lots of benefits to Putin - in that the Red Cross would report any interference instead of Putin, and it will draw the media to see the condition that the Ukies have left the East Ukraine civilians in. World opinion may turn very rapidly!

Nice thought but the American PR machine has already convinced the great mass of idiots, otherwise known as the American public, that Putin and Russia are evil. There is still some hope for Europeans but they are mere second class citizens in the Empire and, as the American PR lead-up to the Iraq War showed, their opinions don't count.    Besides if Vlad is just being a noble guy, it will never be reported by the 'in-the-tank' MSM anyway.

As for me, I hope there are a few hundred bad azz very well-armed Spetsnaz in the backs of those trucks who will make short work of Willy Wonka's inbred western Ukrainian Banderist Nazi thugs.

You are right...    Slavophobia and Russophobia are indeed deeply ingrained in American culture as a result of shit like that, so it probably isn't very difficult for the MSM to ring the bell for the Empire when needed

Uki fascists are not wise enough to stfu or not shoot, expect the big bear to set up its winter den in the former Ukraine, now known as Novorossia. The Bears air force has plenty of help on the ground and a large target list. Obama is out golfing and thinking about wacko-mole in Iraq and may leave the Novorossia uncontested. The Germans certainly do not want war, it gets cold in the winter and the German public is not fond of the Ukrainian fascists or their NAZI worship.

The cRap music in the video is dreadful. Jesus why does a Russian want to imitate a fake American vomitorious utterance like a "rap?" Like Russians aren't capable of making their own music? Fuck.

Say what you want about W but since he left office in 2008, wars, not peace, have broken out everywhere. That's why in March 2003, he was chosen by Time Magazine as the "Best President of the Millennium."

Bad sarcasm.

 

Me thinks he is a Obamabot writing sarcasm, mistakenly believing that this venue has any love for NeoCons...which it does NOT.

 

Many people mistake this as a Republican website..WHICH IT IS NOT.

 

The fail to understand that most here have abandoned the Red Team/Blue Team, loser, bullshit paradigm as most here know that the POLITICAL PARTIES ARE THE SAME.

 

It would serve them better if they took the time, abandonded their preconceived notions, and actually read that which is written. Then they might see something alien to their notions and, perchance, learn something which they did not know??? For a change???

 

When will the statists see that anarchocapitalism and LIBERTY is the best alternative for society?

 

Don't hold your breath...

Tue, 08/12/2014 - 07:23 | 5080867 Ghordius

Tall Tom, just a few thoughts:

It's easy to say "all political parties are the same"... if you restrict your sample to one country. One that has a very old constitutional setup that wasn't even envisioning political parties, or "factions" as they used to be called, then. One that has - after the first president - had a two party system for all the time, mostly thanks to a very old electoral system which favours certain political mechanics

Liberty? Is this a monopoly of anarchocapitalism? While you are there, could you show us a successful example of a polity based on anarchocapitalism?

Don't get me wrong, I sympathize with anarchists of all kinds. their criticism is often the most biting, and freest from assumptions of all kinds, including the "statists" ones

Yet as a foreigner (and ally) I do have a countercriticism towards you: you look sometimes like the Eye of the Storm. because outside of the US, there is no doubt of the US projection of power (for good or evil). yet in the very middle of the US... there is this tendency of thinking that "all that" is optional, just a kind of dream or illusion that could be shut off whenever "people get to their senses"

And there you find the US AnarchoCapitalist. rejecting politics, rejecting the realities of the rest of the world, rejecting everything while criticizing everything

And neither learning nor helping, nor even realizing it's own "special spot on the world". or how what this "special spot" does to you

Wed, 08/13/2014 - 09:01 | 5086580 Tall Tom
Tall Tom's picture

Ghordius...Liberty... Does anarchocapitalism have a monopoly over that?

 

Well there is one historical anarchist state and that was Iceland for a few hundred years.

 

First the IDEAL of anarchocapitalism is unworkable in that there is the non aggression principle. Since I do not want to be forced into compliance with any of a Government's edicts and dictates then it will be hypocrisy to force you to comply with the ideal of anarchocapitalism.

 

There will just be far too many who will voluntarily choose collectivism of one form or another. Humans are genetically wired in that fashion. We are tribal in nature, forming packs, and seek the leadership of the alpha male. That is INSTINCTUAL.

 

Unfortunately collectivism stifles Personal Liberty. One is forced to make sacrifices for the "benefit" of the collective. And as the collective grows in numbers and power, Personal Liberty suffers a decline in like manner. It seems as if that is an inverse relationship.

 

My primary philosophy is that THERE ARE NO POLITICAL SOLUTIONS...NONE. That is the pragmatic approach. To expect a Political Solution is like expecting a miracle. Perhaps one is out there somewhere but I do not base my life upon the expectation that I will live to see the realization.

 

As for the outsider, looking inward, I do not foresee that the USA will volunatrily yield its role in leadership and interference in Foreign Entanglements.. It will yield it by being forced to yield as the USA has been weakened considerably by poor Financial and Economic decisions.

 

The USA is an Empire in decline. It cannot afford the Military it currently fields.

 

America is not that special. Empires are born, grow in status, Zenith, decline, and finally die. It is somewhat like a living organism. America is in decline and another Rising Empire will fill the Power Vaccuum left behind.

 

I hope that you get this response. This thread is old. I stumbled upon your response in happenstance.

Here's my take folks.

The word is out on MH17 at the .gov level.

Vlad is wild-assed pissed and is probably driving the first truck, window down, yelling, "Take one shot at this truck you stupid fuckers !"

End game....its finally over. Ukies throw down their guns, run home  and hide. NATO backs the fuck off. Ukraine lives in harmony again.

When the MH17 news finally goes mainstream, US/UK/EU look like the fucking retards that they are.

Sometimes I wonder how quickly these articles are thrown together to over look something like regional codes versus army branch/service designator.

The Armed Forces have white characters on a black background and the format is NNNN LL for vehicles and LL NNNN for trailers. In this case the two digits on the right ARE NOT REGINOAL CODE but a code for the Armed forces branch or service and go with a certain letter combination. For example, #### CA|14 rus is a vehicle belonging to the Railroad Troops; #### BC|27 rus denotes the Air Defence Force, #### TO|18 rus denotes the Ministry of Emergency Situations etc. Unlike all other categories, number plates of Armed Forces are not light reflective.

#USA bombing #Iraq is a 'humanitarian' mission #Russia sending food+medicine to #Donetsk #Lugansk is an 'invasion',

 

The intellectual dishonesty and duplicity here is staggering.

In American slang, you guys are completely full of shit.

When the Russians repaint Army vehicles to disguise what they are doing, that's good.

If this convoy were American, you would relentlessly criticise it as a Psy-Op and cover for something else - which is exactly what it is. How many Russian passports for the residents of Eastern Ukraine, do you think are in this convoy? Guns? Ammo? RPG's? Missile systems?

It's not as though the Russians would EVER do anything similar to the Americans, because you all know that only America has a duplicitious and propagandised foreign policy.
