After Conducting Navy Drills In East Mediterranean, Russia Puts Airborne Troops In Volgograd On Alert
While the latest Ukraine "ceasefire" is all but dead following such headlines as:
- Kiev security forces open fire on DPR, LPR republics’ positions - Basurin
- Fighting Strains Ukraine Truce; Russia Criticizes EU Blacklist
- Battle rages for town where Ukraine rebels reject ceasefire
... perhaps a better question is what just what is Russia doing in the East Mediterranean (as in close by to both Greece and Cyprus) where as Interfax reported earlier, the Russian navy conducted tests. Bloomberg adds that the "Russian Navy vessels fire artillery rounds at sea, air training targets as part of tests in eastern part of Mediterranean, Interfax reports, citing statement by Defense Ministry."
This happens hours after Interfax also reported that the Russian Air Force conducted a practice bombing drill in the south of Russia, in which about 10 airplanes took part.
And finally, moments ago, Interfax (and Bloomberg) made it a trifecta when it reported that
- RUSSIA PUTS AIRBORNE TROOPS ON ALERT IN VOLGOGRAD REGION: IFX
- ASSAULT LANDING UNIT OF AIRBORNE TROOPS ALERTED IN VOLGOGRAD REGION
As a reminder, Volgograd is about 150 miles east of Ukraine.
As a further reminder, over the weekend German Der Spiegel warned, citing former Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov "Now the threat of a war is higher than during the Cold War." Perhaps events such as these further escalating into an out of control cascade is precisely what he was referring to.

Well...that was some truce !
Nothing to worry about.
where the fuck if volgograd and why only there? btw, how do we know this event took place in volgograd?
just simple BS i would say ....
Nuland knows what she's doin' so don't worry .......its all fine....besides what's the worst that could happen??
A botched Color revolution, where criminal usa puppet oligarchs destroy what is left of the economy while killing tens of thousands via a vicious civil war?
I'll bet Russia is sending a clear message to NATO that if you try to directly intervene in the Ukie war, we are ready to rumble.
When White Swans Fly.
...Poking a Bear with a golf club may not be a very smart thing to do.
"A botched Color revolution"? No, I would call it the 'shit-brown revolution' or just 'bullshit revolution' for short.
Stalingrad!
That's indeed Volgograd's previous name...
NUDELMAN!

ya Putin really missed an opportunity in Davos, an airburst at 20000 feet would turn the whole valley into an elite slushy end of global problems.
Who wants to bet that Of-the-Devil got into the nuke cleanup business.
apparently the ceasefire only applied to the ukranians and not the russian terrorists
Pendragon, you seriously need to educate yourself. Turn off the TV and read something other than MSM.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-31483116
Yes, as noted above, MSM.
As for the cease-fire, there is one party to this war that was conspicuous by its absence in Minsk.
pendragon. You've got to be kidding me. You surely don't rely on Auntie Pravda for your news do you?
Shabat Shallom Pendragon. I didn't receive my last week's pay check. Do you have connections in the Elite Chosenite group? Tell them to pay me.Or else I will bite the hands that feed me. Huihuihuihuihuihuihuihui.
you're barking up the wrong tree adolf
Your momma is gagging on my dick.
are eighty-somethings your thing?
LL, I am awarding you today's prize for stating the obvious.
As for the rest of the comments here, can you please restrain from the lowest of low-grade 'humour' about what is happening in Ukraine. To say it is unwarranted and undignified is also stating the obvious, but it is an appeal to have a sense of decency, honour and 'moral tone', qualities which are virtually extinct in modern 'Western' society.
U D
Face it. Russia is going to take Ukraine back into the family and there's nothing the Ukranians or Americans can do about it. So lets stay the hell away.
Russia doesn't want or need that basket case of a country. It does need a buffer from NATO states and that is Ukraine's sole purpose. I can see the strong bond that Russia has with the Donbass continuing and maybe at some time in the distant future, they will merge back into Russia as did Crimea. That's assuming that the US neocons don't start a real war with Russia first.
Where does the buffer end then? after Ukraine, does it extend to western germany? The russians have slaughtered the ukrainians for decades now and the only reason why eastern ukraine is full of russians is because the russians killed or threatened all the natives to transplant their own people.
But really let russia takeover ukraine and end this constant nonesense, russia will always butt up against Nato on all of its borders, so nothing changes.
This will end in a humiliating climbdown for US and NATO Just like Georgia. If the ceasefire fails then people all over Ukraine want Russia to clear out Poro Yatz along with their US backed Nazi Zionist scum. Key EU countries will not risk annihilation in support of Obama & Co's crazy suicidal expansionism death wish.

you know nothing about this subject
Nuland is up to her old tricks again.

comrade clownski did you hear that the cease fire didn't apply to the region around debaltseve?
If you have a point, feel free to make it.
He doesn't have a point, because it hasn't yet been given to him by the USSA state department.
believe it or not there is life outside of the US. the soviet era is over...let go
You did perform a cheap propaganda.
The low quality of work turned in by US citizen propagandists has descended to pathos level.
english is the preferred language here mr fluffer-in-chief
Perhaps someday you will master that language. I doubt it will improve the hairballs of 'american' propaganda that you vomit onto this board.
But hey, it might reduce your appearance of stupidity by a differential element. Just have to believe in miracles.
your inarticulacy is breathtaking
Do tell us how you stay in constant contact with Puutie.
US citizens are funny with their manner of coming with the same old propaganda, wishing for it to succeed to bambuzzle on the nth time.
Latina Lapper,
Puutie needs your help on the lav dumping team.
Puutie knows you know how to handle explosive gasses hauling the honey for the troops.
Your work in the Puutie invasion of a neighboring country will be rewarded, I'm sure.
The misinformation team at DHS must be getting thin to send these "I know you are but what am i" assclowns to ZH.
Pathetic.
Don't be so hard on them folks. They've got to pay back those student loans somehow. In a noble way we are helping to prop up the global economy through these job creation schemes. Just a shame they can't put it on their CVs. It is after all a fine line between being an asset and a total tool.
OoH you showed him! Nice burn. Nothing of substance of course to counter, but you troll good
And you're still just a simple idiot.
The US and NATO hold war drills year round and most likely are holding them somewhere on the planet as we speak. But we are supposed to believe that because Russia is holding them WWIII has begun. Hell, WWIII started when we invaded Iraq & Afganistan after 9/11.
Yes, US aggression is the cause of all this. Happy Presidents day! The last two have been so wonderful!
yes ice in oklahoma for my first day back to work global warming in full force. geniouses
The arctic is warming twice as fast as the non-arctic. The reduction in temperature difference between the artic and the southern climates has a weakening effect on the jet stream, which holds back the polar air and prevents events such as a polar vortex. The weaker the jet stream becomes, the more often we will have polar airmasses flooding the US and Europe. As a result, the annual winter storms that appear to be unusual, will be the new norm. So you are correct, the ice in Oklahoma is a manifestation of global warming.
On a happy note, you won't have to worry about ice in Oklahoma being permanent, because places like Oklahoma and Texas, will eventually be among the first places in the continental US that become an uninhabitable burned out desert.
ssshhhh! there is to much 'science' for most of the people to understand.
That's science? Where is the testable null hypothesis?
Newsflash: modelling possible outcomes is not science. It is armwaving. It is guessing.
Newsflash II: it doesn't become "science" just because it's said, or modelled, by a "scientist".
Caleb. Your hypothesis is complete rubbish. The jetstream is not weakening, in fact in the last 3 months it has recorded new record speeds. However it has moved south due to a colder Atlantic, leading to a colder Azores high pressure system. The Jetstream is the boundary between the Azores high and the Polar high (known as the ITCZ) and its moved south allowing polar air to penetrate further south. Its the Azores High that generates hurricanes (not many recently) and pushes warm air into the central and Eastern USA. The cold in the USA is the direct result of the global cooling in the mid-Atlantic. Pretty basic Met, as taught to all us pilots who have been flying with the jetstream for decades.
The last two???
If we had the rule of law, and a functioning judicial system, the first 44 would have been hung.
Ahh, the good old days. I guess somebody is getting nostalgic about the old days when we launched tomahawks into asprin factories to get a semen stained dress off the news cycle.
Correct !
NATO has been running war games and drills almost nonstop for over a year.
Here is a list of 30+ exercises scheduled for 2015. Note that this list does not include the CLASSIFIED
activities. It also does not include ongoing Article 5 (collective defense) actions.

.
Finally, a clear spot in the sky among all the fog. Thank You!
This is just anti-Russian propaganda. The increased activity is just to provide humanitarian aid to the Russian volunteers who risk their lives to help their brothers in New Russia Eastern Ukraine.
Volgograd = Stalingrad. If you've never heard of Stalingrad, you're either ignorant, very young, or (based on your post) just another stupid fuck in a world full of stupid fucks.
Volgograd = Engels
how you think that?
Engels is city on Volga across river of Saratov
main of Volga Germans
Now tell us in your charming ways why it's not called Stalingrad anymore.
Stalin died. And wouln't you know it, turned out a lot of Russians didn't like him, either.
Stalin was not a Russian
He was a Georgian criminal from youth
and he started trdition :)
Tradition of Georgian criminals in positions of power? You might be on to something, as that Saakashvili guy has joined up with Kiev criminal syndicate.
Volgograd .... River City, USSR !
... where the fuck if volgograd and why only there?
Volgograd used to be known under a different name some 50 years ago: Stalingrad ! Now that's something worth remembering...
ignoramus
"where the fuck if volgograd..."
Ever hear of Stalingrad?
WWIII Bitchezzzz
Ready to Rumble?
And even if nuclear war doesn't kill you directly, it will kill you indirectly for sure. Prepare for nuclear winter if even only 1000 nukes are exploded...
On the 8th day nuclear winter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCTKcd2Ko98
Perhaps the nuclear winter will offset global warming. A nice little thermonuclear exchange might be just the thing to save the planet.
Riiiiiiiiight. -25C from baseline temperatures + night for 6 months +... all the plankton will die and so will the fishes since only 1% of sunlight will go through.
Gold, bitchez!
Learn to ice fish, looks kind of boring though
I'll do my part to ensure that a nuclear winter will be survivable for humanity: more heat in the winter, A/C/ lower in summer, larger and less fuel efficient vehicles for everyone, etc. Heck, I'll even get the rig out and drill a few wells this spring even though that'll probably be a couple of quarters early. Wake me when Greenpeace makes that large a contribution to the survival of the human race.
Don't forget recycling.
It still cracks me up that, at the end of his doom and gloom global warming movie that gave us all the answers, he suggested that to stave off disaster we needed to embrace more firmly....recycling.
Made the sheeple happy, I guess. Warm inner glow every time they separate the cans. Doing their bit to save the world.
Maybe Al thought that was "science".
This guy offers an excellent perspective.

When has the Nobel Prize Winner ever sought peace? He has bombed seven Muslim countries and has worked diligently to destabilize Ukraine. The ceasefire was dead before the ink was dry on the agreement:
US and Ukrainian officials seek to torpedo Minsk cease-fire agreement
By Niles Williamson14 February 2015
American and Ukrainian officials issued provocative threats and accusations against Russia less than 48 hours after German, French, Russian and Ukrainian negotiators reached a cease-fire agreement following marathon talks in the Belorussian capital of Minsk.
The statements of Obama administration officials and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko were designed to create a pretext for scuttling the cease-fire deal and escalating the assault on pro-Russian separatist forces in eastern Ukraine along with the diplomatic, economic and military campaign against Russia, while attempting to foist the blame on Moscow.
Washington and Kiev did not wait for the truce to take effect on Sunday to launch new charges of Russian military aggression, none of which were substantiated. Meanwhile, fighting in eastern Ukraine between pro-Russian separatists and government forces intensified.
http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2015/02/14/ukra-f14.html
State Dept. bimbo Jen Psaki
The Russian military has deployed a large amount of artillery and multiple rocket launcher systems around Debaltseve, where it is shelling Ukrainian positions,” she told reporters, adding, “We are confident that these are Russian military, not separatist systems
They are "confident" in the same way Comdi Rice was confident about Saddam's yellow cake and aluminum tubes
Telegram for Mr. Mongo.
"Candygram for Mongo"...bitch is, they won't even give me credit for inventing the candygram.
I don't give a fuck who wins this civil war, but for Christ's sake! How is it instantly known that Russia put paratroopers on alert? Are there any secrets left in this world?
Interfax announces it, which is Russia press, which means it's the Ruskies government announcing it to the world in a show of force.
Difficult to keep a secret when Pooty Poot keeps getting undressed.
Guess you still have homoerotic fantasies.....
Lapper,
Puutie appreciates very much how you are able to carry out your acitvities of ass licking under war stress.
Freedumb 123?
Civil war ? ha!
This is a US proxy war. Russia wants to sell oil for Rubles just like Saddam wanted to sell oil in Euros.
Get with it
And US wants Yeltsin back. So US-based IOCs can just take Russian oil.
^^^^^^^
Stupid is identified.
No IQ test required to enroll as a Puutie supporter.
All good points and I stand corrected! I am ashamed that my country continues to meddle and murder around the world.
Things are going down in Crimea...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMgfvnDea0M
And Merkel...
Merkel calls ceasefire in #Ukraine "very fragile" & "it is clear that there is so much to do to save the world."
US sending around 600 paratroopers to Ukraine to train troopshttp://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/02/11/fighting-rages-on-in-ukraine-ahe...
Crazy bitch thinks she's saving the world...great.
v. nuland with a DDR past. worst thing that has ever happened to DE.
didn't they just send 300 to iraq to train the iraqis? same fate for these poor fools.
how "going down"? exaggerate a few cargo carriers?
Ruskie's should take "control" and kick the nazi Kiev Uki's out of the Donbass, stop the killing!
Fuck Nuland.!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcVHsXfLQ6Q
I agree.
Crimea was a clean deal because the real Russian army just said, ok fuck this.
If the Russian military did the same thing in east Ukraine, this would be over.
It would be over, but contrary to Western Propaganda, Russia does not need to incorporate the 'shitkraine' into Russia. Without Crimea and Donbass, the remainder is largely worthless to Russia, but would be a huge drain on the treasury.
Better to let the west assume the expenses and bail it out.
Puutie's ass lapper offers approval.
Your offer of approval is not needed, Augustus. Thanks, but no thanks.
must eliminate snickers bars
surely vlad knows he's in deep state crosshairs; might as well roll over ukieland/latvia/estonia and dare deep state to "come and get ii" my bet deep state doesn't have stomach (know the sheeple don't), but if not, the "big bang" was gonna happen anyway.
Its just "Georgia 2.0" warming up. This one has a lot more tentacles, however, than that one.
I note the alleged Merkel/Obama "Putin is raving mad" conversation: it is madness, in the eyes of the oligarchy, to question the Western Narrative of the week. It is madness to prevent your sovereign state from being destabilized by Western oli's as has happened to how many now? SE Asia, Iraq [x2], Iran, yemen, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Paki, Somalia... It is madness to prevent Western NGO's-provocateurs from developing sleeper cells in your nation, It is madness to ACTUALLY defend the people whom you are the presumed Protector of, and it is madness to champion the rights of your ethnic brethren - especially if their skin is lighter-pigmented
Your support for any totalitarian state will win you approval from the Saddam, Qadaffi, and Puutie lovers.
Has the Taliban promised you a piece of the dope trade?
drug trade is not Taliban, stupid...
CHildren! SHush and sit down. Now, ... radionucleides are your friends, like barney. Just ask all the inexpicable dead and mained life forms washing up on left coast. Anyway, cold beer and some more franken foods will fix this. Chase it all down with a little chlorine and flouride then return to you lawn chairs and breathe in the vaporized metals. Kirk to Enterpise: "Energize"
Funny thing, Poland might have offered a deal to the Ruskies to divide up Ukraine.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B96jfgBIIAA_Ooi.jpg:large
Polish paratroopers don't use parachutes so they can land quicker
They also like to play Polish Roulette. It's just like Russian Roulette, except they use a 45 automatic instead of a revolver.
I love the ..'The ceasefire is holding everywhere....except Donbas'. Or 'The truce is strained by heavy fighting'. There is no fucking truce if someone is shooting.
What a load of nonsense. USA / uk et al conduct live fire training at sea most days of the week, and their airforces practice 100s of bombing training runs each day, and army units are routinely put through alert exercises throughout NATO every week. Nothing unusual happening here. move on scare-mongers.
Sometimes we just do it for a "Mission Accomplished" photo-op...sometimes a Chinese sub makes an appearance... LOL
Not really.
I've got my radio tuned to a station on the German polish border so I can get the latest.
Do not mess with the Russian Bear..It is easy to get hurt very badly...
We need a symbolic step by Pres, Obama to difuse this Ukraine situation . Suggestion: Reassign Nuland to Canadian Desk at State Dept. or some other country where she can not screw things up.
alternately, send over another 1B in weapons, hookers, blow and snickers bars ... also send the Red Cross, obviously
throw in mad mcain and it's a deal.
You're assuming there is a country where she could not screw things up. I'm not so sure. And by the objectives given to her, she hasn't screwed up anything. Gigantic flaming bag of dogshit on Russia's doorstep? Check.

Amid spiraling crime rates, the residents of Ukraine's capital are finding the police unable to protect them, and have resorted to investing in steel doors and elaborate security systems.

Pay attention folks. This shit is coming home to roost.
A very plausible theory I’ve seen is “they” make the people believe that the only way to avoid a world war is to have a one world government.
That NWO stuff is about exploitation, not one world government of equals. It is about 1% of America on top. Everyone else on their knees. We saw the plan in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Greece, and now Ukraine. There is no inclusion. There is no attempt at equality. We didn't offer anyone statehood or citizenship. It is about taking. It is the same old crap as ever. It will be the same countries we have always had. They will just be turned into plantations and maybe worse.
This is probably wrong, but it wouldn't have anything to do with the impending Greek event just across the Black Sea would it? Tsipras, Yanoufakis and the rest of Syriza have been courting extreme danger from the bankster clan since they got elected and all hell is going to break loose if Grexit actually, against all odds, happens. Just thinking aloud.
you got a point there
I think the pendulem is ready to swing the other way
time to mobilize
And in the meantime Americans increasingly see Russia as #1 threat!
American sheeple are destined for a radioactive future.
I already have the ingredients for a Fallout Shelter.
Yes, this is getting serious.
I lived thru the Cuban Missile Crisis.
We are in dangerous times. I can remember my dad and his friends coming up with ideas of shelter. My dad was pleased when I joined CD and took radiological monitoring. I can still remember the flickering black and white TV stations and the suspense and fear.
Americans had better wake up fast. Chalky does not care if 50 million of you die.
Contrast that to JFK.

My dad was a WW2 guy. He and about 4 buddies were in the living room watching the missile crisis. They busted open some Carlin Black Label.
Dave, a guy who had served in Italy said, "Bob, give the kid a drink."
The other vets were affirmative.
Of course, we did not know at that time US missiles had been put in Turkey.
My dad told me once "You do not want to fight the Russians. They will come at you until every last man is dead, IF you have first invaded his country.

Bath house in only involved with flaming queens.
The decisions are sent to him to parrot on his teleprompter.
Big war with 30 million Ukrainians vs 8-10 million separatists, Proxy war leads to a DMZ with Russia "for border control"... lots of irregulars but 30 million Ukrainians is probably something to be reckoned with, Ukraine is closer to Ukraine than Moscow.... Moscow didn't complain about maps for over 100 years.
.
Ukraine wins Ukraine separatists loose DMZ for their security and protection from Russian artillery and tanks.
.
These people are talking about war in Europe, Russia will not use nukes unless they think their own territory is in danger of well... the Ukraine effectively taking over and administering 3000 sq miles of Russian land.
"30 million Ukrainians " they can't even get 100k to fight. what is this BS you're spouting.
