    I don't know how people can read stuff like this and not immediately think of Germany taking Austria and the Sudetenland. Same premise, rhetoric, etc.
    Getting you to think that way is exactly the point of the western propaganda.

    Is it really terrorism if the target is military or government? There is an armed conflict going on in the region that started in 2014 and has claimed the lives of thousands.


    A conflict that was the result of the people of Donbas passing a resolution to become a separate state.

    Given the history, Putin ought to call for a U.N. “Peace force” into the Ukraine to keep things from sliding further south.

    Some protocol for independence or re-alignment is needed.

    Russia didn't move all that armor last week for fun and photo ops. Seems pretty safe to say Russia is going to carve off their next piece of Ukraine.

    Different when we do it..


    Between January and March 2020, US Army Europe deployed approximately 6,000 military personnel from the United States to Europe. It moved some 9,000 vehicles and pieces of equipment, many from prepositioned stock locations in Europe, and around 3,000 pieces of equipment across the Atlantic. To give an idea, this is the third-largest military exercise in Europe since the Cold War. In coordination with Allies and partners, US Army Europe also moved soldiers and equipment from multiple European ports and airports to training areas in Germany and Poland.

    The more I read about this whole thing the more I think that this was all a setup by Putin to show the western media for the propaganda show that it is.

    Do some military drills, leak some info on an invasion to a pbs reporter and then call out the western nations for drumming up war for no reason.

    Putie-Pie almost lives as rent-free in the heads of the Washington elites as Trump.

    This link, posted by Keith Indy over in the Ottawa trucker thread, gives a bit of background to these posted, and from my point of no previous knowledge adds some clarity.

    I’ll admit I hadn’t got that far into this topic yet. I was aware this happened but didn’t know all details.

    On the surface it reads like what has happened before when American (read CIA) installed leaders have been ousted, only this time it was the pro Russian guy who got the boot during the protests.

    Back to the Cold War regime change proxy wars I guess. That’s what the Democrats wanted when they dusted off Joe Biden and pulled the mothballs out of his coats.

    In November 1993 during Exercise Foal Eagle in the ROK (huge Joint/Combined exercise), ABC's Peter Jennings runs the story that 75% of the nork military was on the DMZ.

    People not stationed in the ROK: AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

    People stationed in the ROK: Oh course, where else would they be? Wait, only 75%?

    How can they possibly know? Is Russia allowing this information out on purpose?
    Updated article:

    "The 3am time (1am GMT) when US intelligence sources suspected a Russian attack came and went without incident last night as Putin continued to keep The West guessing."

    I'm puzzled. A lot of U.S. news outlets still have "man on the street" interviews in foreign countries. I can't remember when I've seen one in Russia. Is "democratic" Russia still a dictatorship with the boot on the necks of average "Ivans"?

    How do you think it's going to be handled by the media over here?
    Extra points if you guessed the forthcoming headlines: "Tough guy joe bidet makes Putin blink!"

    Ok, so where's the satellite imagery to prove this definitively
