Ukraine Again Says It Has Destroyed Russian Military Vehicles, Market No Longer Cares

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The last time the Ukraine who cried Russian wolf invasion swore it had blown up Russian military vehicles, as part of the humanitarian convoy, it turned out rather quickly it had lied after it couldn't provide any evidence of this. So, in keeping with crying wolves, now is the time for try #2. From BBG:

  • UKRAINE SAYS TWO COLUMNS OF RUSSIAN MILITARY VEHICLES DESTROYED
  • UKRAINE SAYS RUSSIAN MILITARY VEHICLES DESTROYED NEAR ILOVAYSK

Judging by the market reaction, which actually rose on the headlines, it is becoming clear that Ukraine propaganda has lost all market moving abilities, as not even the algos buy the fabricated attempts at escalation.

And in other news, after not even NATO, which has been in full warmonger mode today, dared to use the word "invasion" opting instead for the much more politically correct "incursion", here is the UK using the same phrasing:

  • CAMERON: CONCERNED BY EVIDENCE OF RUSSIA INCURSION INTO UKRAINE

Finally, and as always, we look for Putin's take on today's events.

However, one thing is clear: since only Citadel's execution algos of NY Fed trading orders matters, expect today's "drop" to be quickly erased and the manipulated rally in the last minutes of trading to take the S&P to fresher, recorder highs as the world supposedly teeters on the edge of World War III.

it is such a shame that those english jewish guys from the guardian,the times and the bbc left ipad and mobile phone audio video camera  in kiev.

but they do bring dispatch and word proof from the front what then is the  beef.

printed words yes a little tradional yes but words are proof in this case.

these are honorable men trained english gents are the words not good enough?

the english journalist brings word truth bombs to all conflicts of the world ye sir.

the russians it seems cannot handle this truth.

 

 

 

“Why, once Jakes went out to cover a revolution in one of the Balkan capitals. He overslept in his carriage, woke up at the wrong station, didn't know any different, got out, went straight to a hotel, and cabled off a thousand-word story about barricades in the streets, flaming churches, machine guns answering the rattle of his typewriter as he wrote.
Well they were pretty surprised at his office, getting a story like that from the wrong country, but they trusted Jakes and splashed it in six national newspapers. That day every special in Europe got orders to rush to the new revolution. Everything seemed quiet enough, but it was as much their jobs were worth to say so, with Jakes filing a thousand words of blood and thunder a day. So they chimed in too. Government stocks dropped, financial panic, state of emergency declared, army mobilized, famine, mutiny — and in less than a week there was an honest to god revolution under way, just as jakes had said. There's the power of the press for you.”

You will know when Russia invades. Their will be these white puffy men on kites drifting down everywhere, columns entering from 10 different places and the Ukraine will be cut in half with troops standing in Kiev in 48 hours. Until then keep bleeding out and be quiet.

Look at the bright side. Putin probably won't take your whole country, just a land connection to Crimea. Building Kerch bridges is expensive. He will let you keep Chernoble. Lets just think of it as a Tax for being stupid.

Other than that, I just wanted to say that your posts are arguably the worst I've ever seen on Zero Hedge, in terms of facts. The links you have provided here are laughable, and actually sufficient cause to strip someone of adulthood and have them assigned to mental health institutions.

Here's what will happen if it hasn't already - NATO 'advisors' make moves inside Ukraine, Russia makes moves inside its border - Kiev or mercs attack a convoy on the Russian side, maybe Russia forces counter - and the attack is said to have taken place in Ukraine.  Polish radio station type of shit.  Does anyone doubt the NYT and the rest of the controlled MSM won't dutifully fabricate the news to conform with the desired jingoistic narrative?

Leonid Slutsky, the head of the State Duma Committee for CIS Affairs, called Kiev’s claims groundless and said they are a publicity stunt that is unlikely to surprise anyone in the international community. Andrei Krelin, Russia’s envoy to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), dismissed the allegations as untruthful.

Mr. Durden,

I've watched your "conspiracy" posts on the Russian involvement in E. Ukraine
for quite some time since the conflict started. Now that Putin has finally
stopped the masquerade, your post are beginning to print the truth about
what is happening over there. (When it shoudl have been getting the truth
all along; namely - Putin's stealth invasion of E. Ukraine.)

Meanwhile, your old posts pulled in all the consipracy crazies and I can
see, that even in the covers finally off, they cannot let go of their
foolish visions now that they've invested so heavily in them.

As for me, I used to enjoy your posts, but I can see that you are more
interested in building a network of fruits and nuts instead of sane,
rationale investors. I hope at the very least it pays your bills.
