Western "Boots On The Ground" In Ukraine: Britain Sends 75 "Military Advisers" To Combat "Russia-Backed Aggression"
In what we believe is the first touchdown of Western 'boots-on-the-ground' in Ukraine, Britain's David Cameron stated today that British military personnel are to be deployed to Ukraine for the first time in the next few weeks to provide advice and training to government troops. As The Guardian reports, Britain would be “the strongest pole in the tent”, and argued for tougher sanctions against Moscow if Russian-backed militias in eastern Ukraine failed to observe the ceasefire. The MoD said up to 75 personnel would begin to deploy to Ukraine from next month as Cameron warned sanctions could become "materially different" and held out SWIFT exclusion once again.
British military personnel are to be deployed to Ukraine for the first time in the next few weeks to provide advice and training to government troops, David Cameron announced before a committee of MPs.
The prime minister said Britain would be “the strongest pole in the tent”, and argued for tougher sanctions against Moscow if Russian-backed militias in eastern Ukraine failed to observe the provisions of a ceasefire agreement reached this month with the Ukrainian president, Petro Poroshenko.
The Ministry of Defence said up to 75 personnel would begin to deploy to Ukraine from next month as part of the training mission... for up to six months.
...
Cameron said Europe listened to Britain on how to implement sanctions, and he said the level of sanctions “might become materially different” in the future . He held out the possibility of excluding Russia from the international Swift banking payments system, saying there was a logic to such a move if Moscow continued trying to “dismember” Ukraine.
“I think what we should be putting in to place is a sense that if there is another Debaltseve [a Ukrainian town seized by pro-Russia forces this month] then that will trigger a round of sanctions that will be materially different to what we have seen so far,” he said.
...
He suggested it would be “miraculous” if the terms of the 12 February ceasefire agreement brokered in Minsk by Merkel and Hollande were met in full.
The prime minister said the UK was not at the stage of providing “lethal weapons” to Ukraine, but hinted that might change if the US changed its view.
“We have announced a whole series of non-lethal equipment – night-vision goggles, body armour – which we have already said that we will give to Ukraine,” he said. “Over the course of the next month we are going to be deploying British service personnel to provide advice and a range of training, from tactical intelligence to logistics to medical care, which is something else they have asked for.
...
He said there was no doubt about Russian support for the rebels. “What we are seeing is Russian-backed aggression, often these are Russian troops, they are Russian tanks, they are Russian Grad missiles. You can’t buy these things on eBay, they are coming from Russia, people shouldn’t be in any doubt about that.
“We have got the intelligence, we have got the pictures and the world knows that. Sometimes people don’t want to see that but that is the fact.”

We suspect Putin will not be impressed at the 'encroachment'.

Cambo's a right fucking tool, couldn't find his way around Oxford by himself and this despite having his constituency in that there vicinity.
A Bankrupt country with bankrupt ideas living on past glories awaiting Churchill's next anniversary to rally the support of a comatose public.
Upricht Murdoch has his cock wedged so far up Cambo's scrawny arse he waits for policy to be faxed through.
Barry and Company will keep this escalating until we are on the brink of nuclear war with the Russian Federation. Then the sheeple will wonder how did it alll come to this. They will realize there was more going on than Bruce Jenners sex change, the Oscars and the Kardashians!
The US Sheeple have no historical consciousness. They will not ask how we walked into catastrophe. Their minds are like putty in the hands of the elites that rule them.
Somehow I doubt they will. Americans have embraced the Brave New World in all its numbing shallowness.
Cameron, you are an Eton bootlicker.
If our government restarts the cold war i am making plans to be able to live off the grid. The Russians could shut down the internet or worse our electrical grid without firing a shot in actual combat.
Netanyahu has a underground railroad tunnel for Jewish Ukrainian citizens to ecape through. It's called operation skullcap.
/sarc
I'd guess all out war by April or May.
Either direct U.S. troop supplies or proxy in nature.
U.S. soldiers get ready for a fight that you will have no idea why you're in it!!
And these clowns regularly have their heads handed to them by ragtag gangs of halfwit Arabs.
Wait till they have to fight an army of white people :D
David Cameron looks like a junior high school vice-principal. I want a real psychopath in there. Someone go find Tony Blair!
Blair last spotted in a public lavatory in Piccadilly doing a "Miranda".
Is that "Miranda" as in doing the largest inner moon of Uranus?
Once again we take it up the ass from the US of A .. fuck my boots, politicians stink to high heaven.
The empty suit David Cameron is still banging on about "Russia-Backed Aggression" whilst not providing one shred evidence. Nothing has changed since he blamed MH-17 onto Russia/Putin without a shred of evidence.
Smacker - True and the stinking Guardian sings right along with him. A total disgrace of a "news" paper.
“We have got the intelligence, we have got the pictures and the world knows that. Sometimes people don’t want to see that but that is the fact.”
Actually, I really would like to see them and the ones from the USA too.

"Poroshenko left entire wagons of ammo behind, or more precisely, didn't leave them behind, in fact Porosneko is our ally. The amount of combat vehicles he left in the Debaltsevo caldron isn't even comparable to the Ilovaysk caldron..." 170 tanks. 50 artillery guns, mortars can't even count, were still taking wagons of ammo out..." so our main ally is the Ukrainian president and general staff of the UAF.

So much for Camron's can't buy it on Ebay claim. The NAF don't need to buy nothing, given how much the Uke Junta army leaves behind every time they run away.
Nice to have the Limeys to carry USSA's water.
How come ISIS doesn't have a problem with Russia?
Because Russia's left them alone, so far.
Just wait, we're not there, yet.
Remember the Chechnyan muzzie terrorists? Did quite a job on them.
If 'something' needs to happen somewhere, there is a group of people who will find a way to make it happen.
Easy to come up with a name for some manufactured group of crazies to cover your tracks.
It's not like the guys running things are short of cash to pay for it.
I just have a problem being forced to be one of the pieces in a game I want no part of.
Crime Minister Cameron, Petro Porkoshenko and His Holyness of The Holy Roman-American Empire Barack I should all parachute out of the back of a C-130 with nothing but a 72hr molle bag and steak knife and go fight their own wars. John McCain and Lindsey Graham need to be on stand-by for CSAR ops while Victoria Nuland loves them long time.
King Putt wants to know if he can bring his golf clubs
His Churchillian speech awaits " we will fight them on the beaches of Crimea (like our grandfathers did), we will fight them in the cities (like the nazis did), we will fight them in the fields (like the Cossacks did) and this time it will be different. We will never surrender, we will leave after the country is a burning wreck (like the Americans did in Vietnam) and.....nothing will change.

Here is an eye opener not fitting the official narrative.

Thanks for that link to the update on US/UK aid to the IS.
The US created IS to expand into Central and Southeast Asia to fuel wars in those regions to counter China's Silk Roads project and the emerging Russia/China/India alliance.
The US with its vassal lap dog UK is setting up the world for a titanic global catastrophe. Extrapolate the chaos and mass murder that the US and UK have caused to be in Ukraine and the Middle East to extend into Central and Southeast Asia.
All the US and UK caused current suffering and the coming apocalyptic suffering is to try to maintain Anglo-sphere hegemony.
If we Americans don't stop the US Deep State then it will be stopped in a global catastrophe.
Mike Masr - Nice catch. From the link - Iraq army shoots down 2 UK planes dropping weapons and supplies to ISIS!! Asks London for an explanation.
the failed act of a failed 'leader'.
cameron is a lap dog, no less than blair was for bush.
he will lose the election
he will lose even more influence in europe
and he will lose 75 poor bastards who will die for the nazi regime in kiew.
tic toc a**hole
Well, you are on the right track, but it really is a Zionist regime manipulating those poor, dumb Ukies. Israel apparently really wants the Ukraine and will fight to the last Britisher or American to see that it gets its way.
pleeeeze send cunt boy cameron in as the tip of the dick spear
I hope these UK assets in Ukraine get their asses burned to a crisp.
Britain has gone from being a worldwide empire to a quaint tourist destination.
Britain's chief export is now bankster fraud and theft.
Fuck Cameron in the ass.
with a barbed wire dildo!
Is it Konthita’s Wurst, kamikaze battalion? Or some other estrogenically challenged imbeciles deluded into thinking that they’re liberating Ukrainian land from…well…Ukrainians?!....
Always Front running in licking the arse of the White House Butler.
Fuck caMORON.
Here comes the war they want. A major re-shuffle about to ensue.
Hezbolla noticed this IS support about 6 months ago. 5 drops to the same IS zone; they figure 1 could be a mistake but 5 is intentional.
These guys will return into coffins, so let it be. GL UK.
Fuck the lap dog Cameron and fuck the EU!
"We have intelligence ..." - yeah, right.
Maybe Sweden can send some of its "crack" troopers - along with their gender advisors. This is getting to be and going to be hilarious !
I don't think Cameron can claim to have any intelligence!
Just listen (not for too long, you'll puke) to the the fuck, you'll see what I mean.
The lovely US Asst Sec of State Victoria (Toria) Jane (nee: Nudelman) Kagan is positively 'dripping like a roast' on this news!
Yeah
The last time she was 'dripping like a roast' it took four shots of penicillin to get her to stop.
I'll have the tofu burger.
Cameron. U.S. Puppet, dumb pomme
ukraine signing up Dad's army, so allies will be drawn into war.
WHAT FOR A COUPLE OF Pipelines.
For "tactical intelligence" read "forward observers / air contollers". Perhaps they are hoping that these guys will be better at spotting Russian armour than Kiev forces, OSCE monitors, spy satellites, journalists etc.
wow
75 leathery Brits chunnel their way from Odessa to Sevastopol to steal as many advanced Russian weapons (eg Yakhonts) as they can carry back to Brussels to be reverse engineered.
In the soon to be released madcap movie, the excitement, hijinks and fronal nudity scenes...... well I don't want to spoil it for you.
It might pay to remember that Russia is not some CIA controlled enemy of convenience like ISIS. They have a big stick and if we push them they may have to use it
You would have thought this incompetent toff and bast**d would have been content in his major role of the destruction of and mass murder in Libya.
He is nothing but a neo con scumbag being dictated to by the US and Israel.
A yankee poodle.
Now he wants a hand in WW3.
What an embarrassment and danger he is to the country and the planet
Brits are sick of warmongering politicians and Nato destruction.
Sorry Russia. There will be a lot of people completely opposed to this interference.
so the brits and usa are effectively fighting against france, germany and russia by subverting the ceasefire agreement the principle parties to the conflict agreed upon.
Even worse, they are also even subverting the agreement between the belligerents: Kiev and the separatists.
So, the psychpaths running Britain and USA are calling the psychopaths running France, Germany and Russia nasty names.
Trouble is lots of 'em have nasty things to threaten to throw at each other. It only takes one small mistake or accident and we'll all be fucked, whatever fictional 'country' we happen to have found ourselves in.
All the while, the rest of humanity just wants to be left alone to get on with life.
The world is truly fucked up.
Not sure why we need to send advisors there in person. A simple email would do: "If your guys are not prepared to fight, then they should just fuck off out of it."
Look, given the pig's ear the Brits made of keeping Northern Ireland under control and the Provos at bay, I dare say the good men of the DPR and LPR have precisely nothing to worry about.
Come of, Vladimir Vladimirovich. Let's end this farce. On to Kiev and from there to Dresden. Britain will come around. A UKIP government isn't a matter of if, but when.
But, in Northern Ireland, America was arming/funding/supporting the opposition against the Brits whereas in Ukraine they are both supporting the same psycopaths. What could possibly go wrong?
Sorry dude - it was individual, including some wealthy Irish Americans. Not the globalists in DC. The PTB had to wrap up NI before the GWOT or people would get confused about the brown-Muslim terrorist narrative.
I wonder if that idiot would go and fight himself.
The world is full of people ready to fight to somebody elses last drop of blood.
We can only hope they get so the hat fits.
They're counting on the sheeple for that.
This Cameron guz sold the South African nuclear bombs to North Korea ( and latter eliminated the whitness, Dr. Kelly)
Does he think, that those 70 poor idiots-mercenaries will change the mind of 20 million Russians in the Ua? I don't think so.
Funny how the Kiev entity is never requried to implement the cease fire.
Like my Dad's philosophy of child rearing: Do as I say, not as I do
First they overthrow the pro russian gov't in kiev, then sanctions on russia, then crash oil in half, then moodys downgrades russia, now sending troops to ukraine and im sure they'll send lethal aid as well and now this..... check this shit out.
http://www.themoscowtimes.com/business/article/barclays-axes-russian-for...
I think they are doing Russia a favor.
Rumor from friends that back in Russia, many are trading in barter system because CBR is too incompetent to realise there are really not enough rubles in the domestic market. Bankers being idiots as usual.
HAHAHA! These advisers are going to replace the one killed by anti-Kiev rebels in Debaltsevo.
Ahem David Camo, have you read Minsk 2.0 clause 10?
"Pullout of all foreign armed formations, military equipment, and also mercenaries from the territory of Ukraine under OSCE supervision. Disarmament of all illegal groups."
Foreign... military equipment means people doing training with military things, like instruction manuals, props and funny uniforms, from say not-Ukraine... So this will breach clause 10.
Oh I see, just military, hush sorry, 'cleaning' tactics in a kind of office (maybe barracks) environment, with some training (not military) videos of ladies (young men with wigs) pretending to be troops (sorry, cleaners working in formation), with mops, buckets and grenades, (sorry again, scrubbing brushes), it gets really confusing?
That should be OK, don't think Putes will see that as a violation or threat to his vast military, more of an itch or stain on the carpet, to be addressed later with some nose rubbing.
Putes has already said if Minsk 2.0 fails, it's cleaning time at the zoo by the way, did you catch that at all?
US/NATO contributions to the ceasefire:
The day after Minsk II, James Mountain "Jim" Inhofe, the senior US senator from Oklahoma, was caught out trying to pass off fake photographs of Russian involvement in Ukraine to boost support for his bill, which would enable the US to provide lethal military aid to the Ukrainians.
The USAF announced that it would be sending 12 A-10 ground-attack aircraft to Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, by the end of February. This was described as being part of Operation Atlantic Resolve, set up following Russia's "intervention in Ukraine". Apart from operating in Germany, the A-10s will be forward deployed to other partner nations in Eastern Europe. US forces have operated out of bases in Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia and Poland, among others, in the past year.
Canada, which had been helping the the government of Ukraine for ten years, was called on by Ukraine's deputy foreign minister, Vadym Prystaiko, to start supplying lethal weapons and training on how to use them. Prystaiko, whose father was once the vice-chairman of the SBU (Security service of Ukraine), said that Kiev is preparing for "full-scale war" against Russia and that "the world must not be afraid of joining Ukraine in the fight against a nuclear power." In 2007, Prystaiko was part of Ukraine’s NATO negotiating team, and served as the Deputy Director General for NATO in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Now Dave joins in - they don't want a cease-fire.
Financial contributions:
The Ukrainian currency has lost about 50% in value since the start of the civil war. The IMF agreed, on 12 Feb 2015, to throw a $17.5 billion, four-year lifeline to Ukraine. Combined with the $4.6 billion from the previous package, this brings the total (so far) to over $22 billion, which won't be enough. The EU is also to provide $2 billion in loans, while the US has pledged $2 billion in loan guarantees. Altogether, the package from the west is estimated at $40 billion over four years.
But, as the NYT puts it "While the fund had demanded that Ukraine begin major changes and undertake some tough austerity measures in exchange for last April’s rescue, the country’s economic problems have outpaced the prescriptions." Ukraine’s new finance minister, Natalie Jaresko, has been negotiating with the I.M.F. and urging international creditors to view Ukraine as a long-term investment.
Jaresko is a US citizen, ex-Harvard, ex-US State Dept and ex US Embassy in Kiev. She was granted Ukrainian citizenship on 2 December 2014. According to Robert Parry, she was once at the center of insider deals and other questionable activities when she ran a $150 million US-taxpayer-financed investment fund.
You would think the UK and the Europeans have had enough of the American Government.
Sure the rest of the world has.
Both governments are owned by the bankers. Look it up.
Hopefully, they'll do what most British soldiers do - find a pub, get shit-faced every day and write home telling of the hell they're going through...
Here we have evidence of Ukrainian artillery being moved to Artemivsk: https://twitter.com/ArmedResearch/status/570243566506786817
So even with this evidence, will David Cameron stil blame Russia for the breaking of ceasefire? I hope he is sent to the frontlines.
Your message will not get through: Camoron has his reality-distortion field set to max.
Hey, if it's OK for Russia to send subterfuge Russian troops, advisors, ammo and heavy to the Ukraine, then it would seem a no brainer that the Brits could send a few non-combat there to "observe and advise".
And what is the strategic relevance of Ukraine to the Brits?
Good question. The answer is none. So it's just the empty suit Cameron bigging himself up to look tough as Britain heads for a general election.
ask MacKinder - he did after all advocate Anglo-backed buffer states between Germany and Russia
how about as a launching pad to attack Russia? or at least constrain her.
certainly to put the skids on the Eurasian Customs Union
did we mention pipelines and natural resources?
reasons enough I'd say
And yet, the western leadership is having a trouble time to obtain evidence of such. You got them?
I know, Im contemplating whether i should send them some money so they can buy this wonderful new invention called cameras so they can finally take a picture of those fanthom Russians and their weapons. They keep on seeing them but somehow can NEVER take a photo.
Notice how the same lies US/NATO said about Iraq are now repeated about Russia?
As a case in point, remember that when the "plane" flew into the Pentagon the only camera that recorded it was the one on the parking garage to catch people who didn't pay. We're on a budget. Capice?
The Brits as Military Advisors? Uugghh???
If they were advising on buggering underage boys - then, yes, I guess there'd be a "core-competence" in there... no matter how distastful.
I have a friend whose son is a member of Delta Force, stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC. He said they were being deployed on a secret mission in March. Humm...I wonder where they are headed?
Well my mate Walt, who was number two on the Iranian Embassy siege, just got his visa through for a Moscow trip. Certainly some strange shit going on.
hahaha, the March 1 protests that are being staged in Moscow? Hopefully your friends son ends up in jail.
Yep - and my cousin's neighbor Jim Bob is Seal team X and they always Twitter when they get a job. This is a moronic post by you IMHO
Maybe your cousin's neighbor Jim Bob needs to stay out of helicopters after completing covert missions for at least a year, to be on the safe side...
Charge of the light brigade 2.0 ?
Brigade lite? Diet brigade? Brigade zero?
China builds islands, maybe Ukraine can work with China and Russia and double down
.
2wice as many coup governments, 2wice as much coastline, 1/2 the cost
This explains it all. Putin gets it. If you haven't seen this, it is a must.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qLMG0KD3rI
And while Cameron says "Yes Mr. Obama of course we'll join you" and commits British troops to a conflict that has nothing to do with us. - "A NEW Argentine banknote featuring a map of the Falklands is to enter circulation next month."
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/560099/Argentina-map-falklands-islan...
So is this new intervention on foreign soil more stupidity on Dave's part or something a bit more sinister like the betrayal of the Falkland islanders and the memory of those who gave their lives last time.
Those advisors need to be exterminated as soon as they arrive.
Poor guys. The last Jim Willie interview said that the Russians ordered the separatists backed off so that the US merecenaries, completely surrounded by Russian separatists, could escape.

He's not deploying the crack LGBT Brigade to Ukraine is he ?
The Ukrainians have all of the weapons they need and enough to sell them around the around the word. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Defense_Industry_%28company%29
Ukraine is home to some of the largest arms factories in the world. (Also, they have some really HAWT Ukrainian sales ladies!!!!)
But seriously, Cameron is just trying to come off as a tough guy for the voters. He is a politician who will whore himself out to anyone.
The British are coming? May Putin make them his toilet by shitting and pissing all over them.
Cameron is possibly the dumbest politician around at the moment (with the possible exception of that other fool, Canada's Prime Sinister). Both are patronizing, moralizing half-wits who get you seriously worry about the IQ of their voters.
