The Ukraine Who Cried Wolf: Kiev Reports 32 Russian Tanks Cross Border, Market Completely Ignores

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Forget Baghdad Bob. Meet Luhansk Lysenko, the spokesman of the Ukraine military, and the guy who every single day floods whatever wires still care with the daily report of fighting, military invasions, and Russian troops entering the country, aka the proverbial boy who cried wolf.

There was a time when the merest hint of Russia military activity at the Ukraine border would do the unthinkable: challenged central planners and send stocks lower. Who can forget the market drubbing when the Russian humanitarian convoy was going to enter east Ukraine and allegedly carry a DIY army?

Well, those days are long gone. Because with Ukraine repeating day after day after day, how many Russian soliders have entered the country, how many artilery shells have landed, and how Putin is just salivating to invade the economically devastated country, everyone completely tuned out.

Case in point, yet another report earlier today from Kiev, according to which "a column of 32 tanks, 16 howitzer artillery systems and trucks carrying ammunition and fighters has crossed into eastern Ukraine from Russia."

"The deployment continues of military equipment and Russian mercenaries to the front lines," spokesman Andriy Lysenko said in a televised briefing referring to Thursday's cross-border incursion.

 

The report of a new Russian movement of armor across the border follows a charge on Thursday by pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine that Kiev government forces had launched a new offensive - which Kiev immediately denied.

 

Sporadic violence has continued since a Sept. 5 truce in a conflict that has cost over 4,000 lives. But the ceasefire has looked particularly fragile this week, with separatists and the central government accusing each other of violations after separatist leaders held elections in self-proclaimed 'people's republics' last Sunday.

 

"Supplies of military equipment and enemy fighters from the Russian Federation are continuing," Lysenko said. He added that five Ukrainian soldiers had been killed and 16 wounded in the past 24 hours despite the ceasefire.

Market reaction: absolutely none.

Ironically, following half a year of false alarms and crying wolf, if Putin did want to invade Ukraine, he could do so in hours. But why bother, when he can get paid by US and European taxpayers for natural gas deliveries to the nation that appears set to mutiny against the US puppet government within months if not weeks?

The reason why this man wearing this shirt is because in past Russian and Ukrainian forces were called Soviet...( closes eyes to reminisce on good old days for a few seconds)...where was I? Oh yes...Now uniforms are remnants of that era...is has not been changed. But since you dare to challenge my authori-tye, tovarisch...I will take you on little journey. Here is breakdown of how undershirts are associated with individual branch of miltary:

Dark blue Sea is for Navy

Light Blue Sky is for Airborne Troops (VDV seen on the pictures I sent) and GRU Speznas ( real badasses)

Black Briny Deep is for Submarine Sailors

Forest green is for the boarder guards.

Red is for OMON and other Units of the Ministerstvo Vnutrennih Del ( MVD)

My sons godfather is a colonel in the Ukrainian Police and was sent to the Donbas region at the start of this crappy war. We talk to him every few days by phone and skype and he paints a completely different picture.

One thing is for sure a fact: Propaganda is rampant on both sides.

I've had a similar line of thought.  Except I'm wondering if a move like that will matter at all, now that the mid-terms are done.  The only thing Obama has left to do is line things up to keep the White House in Democratic hands.  That means doing all the dirty prep work for Hilary and the neo-cons.

I expect Obama to sign all neo-con inspired bills from Congress, while wringing his hands and saying it's all the evil Republicans' fault when such policies are horribly unpopular.  Americans prefer Democratic non-neo-con policies, but seem to hate the non-neocon Democrats personally.

If Obama does all the table-setting, Hilary and the neo-cons can run against Obama in 2016, and make him a bazillionaire on the way out the door.

I expect to see Obama signing off on removing every single thing Finance finds inconvenient about ObamaCare, turning the schools over to corporate interests, transferring more corporate debt on to the public balance sheet, moar subsidies for petrochemicals, moar woar and crocodile-tears patriotic schmaltz,and everything else that facilitates Stage 2 separation between the Elites and everyone else.  Every last remaining pot of money in individual or "public" hands to go over to corporate control, like retirement accounts, K-12 funding, public infrastructure, etc.

Then Hilary can come in on 1/20/17 and say she has no choice but to do whatever her shadowy overlords have in mind for her. Hell, I saw her in person a few months ago.  She's even starting to look like Margaret Thatcher, but without the charm or sanity.

I have the feeling that this is being ignored simply because it is another exaggeration by the Kiev Ukrainians. It is no small feat to move 32 tanks and 16 howitzers. There must be at least 5 support vehicles for each tank or howitzer. So, in all something like 250 vehicles must have crossed into Ukraine. Secondly there has to be an appropriate amount of armored infantry accompanying a force of this size. So add another 100 vehicles to support an infantry battalion.

That is not to deny that a force of this size could not have entered Ukraine over a period of several days and from several points of entry. This is a tried and true process for infiltration. The Red Chinese infiltrated Korea with some 200,000 men over several weeks in the fall of 1950 and our Air Force never noticed. The North Vietnamese did this into South Vietnam for nearly a decade before we became aware of how significant their presence was. (The first battles fought by U.S Army and Marines in South Vietnam in 1965 were against fully equipped and trained North Vietnamese regiments, not the Viet Cong, in battles reminiscent of the fighting against the Japanese in WW II.)

I think that the market has adjusted to the idea that Ukraine will go on and on; but that -globally- business will be unaffected. Besides, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and -in fact- the entire Cold War was good for business. So is this eternal war against Islam.

The unanimity of the Western media on Ukraine and the memory repression required to swallow it should make any intelligent reader suspicious. One moment MH17 is the Biggest Story Ever, the next moment there is no mention of it at all. The postponement of the Ukraine-EU agreement was unthinkable right up to the moment when it suddenly happened. NATO gets its intelligence from commercial services. An election in which parties that had got 40% of the vote the last time around were effectively banned is a triumph of democracy. The best way to end the rule of corrupt oligarchs is to pick one as president. And so on.

Therefore, there must be some other reason. Here are some theories to explain what’s going on.

Why should we? Britain, France et all were the ones with war treaties.Not the u.s.

I remember reading where Britain did not treat us nicely in the late 1700's - early 1800's.

When I see in MSM something containing "Kiev says", I usually stop reading there.

even if this was true and even if russia was really invading Ukraine, what would western countries do ?

 

Probably nothing more than the usual "consequences" talk ...

Somebody tell this hallucinating cokehead that if a fucking waterpistol crossed the Russian border we'd all be hearing about it on CNN accompanied by grey and green satellite images of blobs with arrows identifying it as an ICBM.

Elections over, time to prepare the gag reflex for more lies, bombings and inventive euphemisms for "Hey we just blew the legs off a little girl" (We cleaned a female adolescent? We sanitized her pins?) from the MIC and its minions.

The Ukie military was attacking over pretty much the full front yesterday, but not today, so it was probably probing the weaknesses and strengths of the Novorussian forces.

 http://militarymaps.info/ is in Russian but constantly updates the military situation there.

There were Russian units shown in Donetsk and Luhansk a week or so ago. The consensus is that the Ukies are about to launch a major offensive. The new Defense Minister was formally the one in charge of the National Guard (known to be filled with the low life neo-nazis that the oligarch funded battalions didn't want) and apparently a mean piece of crap, has a point to make so I'm sure when it is launched it will be big.

It is probably a good thing for Putin that Lie-senko never read (or maybe understood) the fable because the "bear" will come this time and nobody will hear the screams.

As time goes by Putin continues to rack up more points in the Ukraine as the conflict drags on. Things may have quieted down and the eyes of the world have moved to more pressing issues, but Putin is playing the long game by grinding away at the resolve of both bankrupt Kiev and the EU. A recently signed deal for gas supplies to Ukraine only highlights the fact the devil of any agreement is in the details.

The Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said any resumed supplies could be halted again on Jan. 1 if Ukraine doesn’t pay $3.1 billion in debt prepay for future deliveries.

It appears this deal is tenuous and the guarantees of it being fulfilled are weak. Don't hold your breath for Putin to back-off or back-down, he has put down his marker and is now playing both Obama and Kerry for fools in a contest that may cost Russia little. If Putin doesn't get his way next week he will next month or next year at the latest. The article below delves into why this conflict won't be over until Putin says its over.

What is with the Swedes and the Finns lately?  Have they gone full zio?   Russia is not bothering them.  The Swedes should use their military to sweep out Islamic Malmo.   the normally sensible Finns are acting like even bigger idiots wanting to join ZATO.

Putin knows grabbing land and building empires is folly.   She the Zio-Cons were not smarter.

The manipulators have other priorities, thus making the market happy dance.

A sad tune coming out of Ukraine is not on the current playlist.

Teaching the U.S. military how to kill less with less for more than 60 years!...

Or another way of putting it in Hebrew... How to get more bang for your buck!

Aren't false flags just wonderful in getting us to do things we wouldn't normally do?!!!

Volkodav, I also thought it strange, but they aren't shown there anymore.

 

An update, There are no longer any Russian units shown anywhere except way out of the conflict zone, ie Moscow. I guess the Kremlin didn't like the publicity.

Da  No one Donetsk know about it.

Only regional fighters, and maybe 5 % foreign volunteers are defense.

Alexander Vladimirovich Zakharchenko for American President 2016.

The guy rocks.  He should be PM of Ukraine - he might make it a tolerable country.

Parties to a conflict are never to be believed.  They have a conflict of interest with regard to the truth.

So I am less interested in what they say than the evidence they produce.  I am less interested in what they say than in why they say it.

Even a pathological liar develops patterns to his lies.   If you learn the inputs you can predict the lies and their timing.

perhaps when they see US is all bluff, dollar goes down

hope of relying on US to actually defend your country will soon be understood
