So Russia's scuttled a couple of warships, (albeit one was de-commissioned and going to be sold for scrap) at the entrance of a Ukrainian Naval Base, as a means to stop the few ships of the Ukrainian fleet that managed to high-tail it out of port during the invasion from sailing back in and either rescuing their comrades, or going in Bruce Willis, "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker" style. :lol: The funny thing about it I think they've trapped one or two of their own ships in that harbour by doing that. :lol: Edited by Heineken: 10/3/2014 02:03:05 AM

American neocons begging for war, so sad and pathetic Quote:Let me make sense of what’s happening in Ukraine for you as that country descends into armed chaos, threatening to oust the legitimately elected Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich and place the country in the hands of rebel forces spearheaded by Ukrainian neo-Nazis and Chechen Islamist radicals. Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, along with Obama adviser and designated liar Susan Rice, are neo-conservatives, neocons for short. The neocons, first in the form of the Trilateral Commission and more recently as the Carlyle Group, thrive on military conflict. When the world is at war, the neocons and the defense contractors who work with them make enormous amounts of money. The neocons don’t care which side you’re on, as long as they can work with you to create a political situation that they can grow into a war from which they will profit. The Ukrainian “revolution” was fostered and encouraged by Nuland, Rice and U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt. These three were instrumental in staging a destabilization campaign. Working with Ukrainian neo-Nazis, they fostered the Ukrainian uprising that has caused the elected Ukrainian president to flee from Kiev. Arizona Sen. John McCain was also part of this duplicity. McCain went to Kiev in December last year and helped incite the mobs that would overthrow the legitimately elected president. If there were such a thing as a Nobel Anti-Peace Prize, McCain would win it hands down for his work in Egypt and Syria, topped off by what he’s done in Ukraine. The U.S.-supported insurgents have taken over Kiev and now hold the Ukrainian people hostage as the U.S. stands down. Barack Obama mouthed the emptiest of words – there will be “costs” to Russia for military action against the insurgents – while the U.S. found that its hands were tied. In the early stages of the rebellion, Ukrainian President Yanukovich met with the rebels staging the uprising, and the two parties agreed to stop the violence and make an orderly transition to a new government chosen in a new set of elections. Instead, the right-wing rebels ignored the agreement and took over Kiev by force, with their armed patrols maintaining control through violence. The situation in Ukraine has been painted as a conflict between Vladimir Putin’s Russia, the so-called bad guys, and Ukrainian rebels, the so-called good guys who seek to oust Russia from a position of influence in Ukraine and install a new government that will be responsive to the Ukrainian people. Don’t believe a word of it. The Ukrainian nationalists are fascists. Washington’s original purpose for staging a coup in Ukraine was to move Ukraine away from Russia and bring Ukraine into the European Union. In other words, the neocons and the bought-and-paid-for “moderates” in the Obama administration wanted to wrest control of Ukraine from Putin’s hands and gain economic and energy control over the country. As Dr. Stephen F. Cohen has pointed out, Western nations, with the U.S. leading the way, have been provoking Putin for decades. We’ve expanded NATO to include former Soviet states – Ukraine looks like the next target – and we’ve attacked allies of Russia, including Libya and Iraq. The U.S. – along with other Western nations – through our incursions into the politics, economics and national security of Russia and several of its allies, has effectively caused the situation that is now unfolding in Ukraine. Cohen is right. Putin is certainly not a good guy, but he is not the villain in this. The Jews have always been canaries in the coal mine of human rights in Russia, and Putin has been better to Russian Jews than any other Russian leader in the past century. With the elected government now driven out of Ukraine, the anti-Semitic U.S.-backed fascist thugs who have assumed control are vandalizing synagogues and threatening the lives of Jews in Crimea. Putin has also been forced to deploy military assets to Crimea, an important region that Russia ceded to Ukraine in the 1950s, when the USSR was reaching the height of its power and Ukraine was one of its puppet states. The majority population in Crimea is Russian, and its warm-water Black Sea ports are critical to Russian military and trade interests. Russia cannot afford to let the Crimean region fall into the hands of the insurgents who are trying to take over Ukraine. In addition to deploying military assets in Crimea, Putin has contacted his allies in at least eight other strategically located countries to assure that Russia has access to those countries’ military facilities so Putin’s forces can extend their long-range naval and strategic bomber capabilities. In other words, the U.S. interference in Ukrainian politics has resulted in Putin expanding his military influence, while at the same time Barack Obama is bent on shrinking our own military to pre-World War II levels. Once again, the incompetent, uninformed and uninvolved president of the U.S. has drawn a pink line in the sand. Obama doesn’t know whose side he’s on. He didn’t even bother to attend the meeting of his national security advisers on Friday afternoon as the Ukrainian conflict was escalating and Putin was deploying his military. The new game in Washington, D.C., is not “Where’s Waldo?” It’s “Where’s Barry?” They took the trouble to Photoshop Obama into pictures of national security meetings during the Benghazi crisis. In this case, they’re not even bothering to pretend he’s in charge. Obama hasn’t got a clue about what the conflict in the Ukraine means. Nuland and Rice, two of the four horsewomen of the apocalypse who seem to make so many critical decisions of this administration, told him to blame Putin, so that is what he did. Now the Russian and Ukrainian people are at grave risk from the Ukrainian nationalists and Chechen Islamic jihadists into whose hands the U.S. has worked to place the fate of that country, and Putin has called on his allies to assist him in expanding his military presence around the world. The greatest hypocrisy here comes from those who call for open borders with Mexico and amnesty for 30 million illegal aliens who have violated our territorial integrity. It is our own politicians and advisers – Sens. Dick Durbin, Lindsey Graham and John McCain, along with national security renegades like Zbigniew Brzezinski and Madeleine Albright – who have made our borders meaningless. Our foreign enemies are less to be feared than the American subversives who are orchestrating the takeover of Ukraine by pro-Islamist Ukrainian neo-Nazis.

It's relevant because the same thing has occured in Cyprus only 100 times worse and it is ALLOWED by the international community. All because of US INTERESTS in Turkey. During the days following the Turkish invasion mass genocide occured and hundreds of thousands have been displaced. And they have filled northern Cyprus with settlers from the bowels of mainland Turkey. They (the West) can cry and get their media to flood us with propaganda but until they fix Cyprus they have no right to meddle with Russian affairs within a Russian majority territory. Fact is, all the 'good' nations of the world should be taking the whip to countries like Turkey and Saudi Arabia right now as we speak, but due to insecurities and greed attention is focused on superfluous matters, such as pretending Russia is still some soviet union that needs to be isolated and cold warred all over again [-x Edited by polemides: 5/3/2014 08:08:12 AM

Iridium1010 wrote:That armoured vehicle at the back, captured Ukrainian or Russian? From The Guardian's live updated feed of the on-going crisis: Sean Walker appears to be a Guardian reporter who is covering the crisis is Crimea currently. Looks like he has front-line access.   Vehicle appears to be a GAZ Tigr, which suggests those troops are definitely not a 'self-defence' unit/milita, but soldiers from the 810th Russian Naval Infantry division that landed ashore from the Black Sea Fleet.

[youtube]6tFJKPHonm0[/youtube] First footage of the 'first real shots fired'. Ukrainian Soldiers who weren't under siege, marched up to their Army barracks, where Russian Troops were manned. Clear short, 2-3 warning bursts of gun fire can be heard, as the Ukrainians don't break stride. Instead, breaking into voice, singing the Ukrainian national anthem. The Russian General and the Ukrainian General then meet , and whilst I don't speak Russian, it's clear what was being said. Gotta admitt, the Russian soldier to the left of the Russian General, the one who is holding his Kalashnikov sideways, certainly didn't look too pleased at being told to stand down. :lol:

Mad Vlad also wrote:No, because we will not go to war with the Ukrainian people. Just got suckered into that quote by Mad Vlad. #-o ](*,) ](*,) Russia will invade, and claim they're going to war against the Government. Inevitably, Ukrainian civilians will be killed, but that's going to be passed off as collateral damage, "you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs". I can't believe I got suckered into that. :lol: By the sounds of it, that quote is probably the clearest yet that Russia will engage in military operations against the Ukrainian government very, very soon. Just not against it's people. Remember that. ;) :-"
