lol. this is just a case of their paranoia being true because of their own actions.
it would be funny if Trump just went ahead and recused himself from the whole thing. made a point about doing so to make sure the Europeans felt like their was no Russian meddling from his end.I swear ... we do absolutely nothing and get blamed , we come to the aid of either side we get blamed . Trump doesn’t take a stand he’s weak because Putin puppet , he says some and he just a war monger that’s following Putin’s plan . F’em , it’s their corner of the world let the euro elites figure it out Trump should put his feet up on the desk and tell them to work that Sh!t out I’ll be back here watching in case China gets involved .
your righteousness would sell a lot better if you were ever grounded when it comes to things of russian nature. anywhere/anyone else in the world, or just the US at all, and you would be upset. but because its Russia they get a pass.
just look at the South China Sea stuff and Ras's reactions. the Chinese are the ones not following protocol and Ras is pissed at the US.
Russia flies bombers in British air space and Ras is pissed the Brits respond.
etc etc etc.

I never brought the US into this...you did...and the exact same thing could be said of you regarding the US...so, you’re being hypocritical, at best...
This isn’t about us sailing through the South China Sea to flex our world police muscles....these countries are neighbors, and until Maiden had neighborly relations for the most part...
This is obviously a he said, she said, until all the facts come out...but, because our media is so anti-Russian, it immediately points the finger at the hated rival...
Surely you’re not naive enough to think the RF has anything to win by being provocative towards their neighbors when the whole western world would love nothing more than to find yet another excuse to sanction or demonize them?
This whole thing smells of a rat....especially with the overly dramatic move by Poroshenko to impose martial law...
Kyiv Post article above indicated the martial law does not have a significant effect on the military's stance.Not that I believe it but Petro is saying he has intelligence reports saying Russia is preparing for a ground invasion and martial law was needed to ensure security.
what? I call out our BS all the time.
Never should have been in Syria, we should be out of both Afghanistan and Iraq. No reason for us to get involved with what Russia is doing. Pretty much everything we did in N. Africa was frucked from the start. If you have any particulars you think I am giving us a pass on let me know.
nothing to win? just like when they invaded Ukraine and seized Crimea? This is all part of the same plan that Putin has been executing from for a while. microaggressions that get a pass or eventually forgot. he's the 900 lb bear taking nibbles. You can't just swat him, he's a 900 lb bear; but you also can't go in guns blazing because its just a nibble.
Poroshenkos bit is definitely taking advantage of the situation, maybe Russia should go in a rescue him too.
Europe's forgotten war maybe be ready to escalate again after Russia's actions today. They have blocked the Kerch strait effectively blockading the Sea of Azov for the Ukrainians. Russian coast guard ships earlier rammed a Ukrainian navy tug trying to pass through and have also threatened to board any Ukrainian flagged ships. Everyone knows the Russians are doing the fighting in the trenches of eastern Ukraine but this is the most serious overt Russian action since the invasion of Crimea back in 2014. Depending on how the next few hours unfold we could see the heavy fighting erupt in the east again. Ukraine has already placed its naval forces on a high alert position.
This is bad. Russians are not just talking but ratcheting up actions.
Putin doing pretty bad too.I’ll agree with most of that except the micro aggressions from Putin. Most all of Putin’s aggression has been in retaliation or defensive measures to protect the Russian sphere from western manipulation...
Call it what you want...but, Putin isn’t going to allow the west to just buy up neighbors with IMF money that leads to total economic collapse, just like in Greece, and now Ukraine...at the expense of losing key naval ports like Sevastopol to the US...ain’t gonna happen...
The US orchestrated a cagey coup of Yanukovich because he had a better deal with Russia...now Poroshenko and the Ukrainian people are paying the price...economy in shambles, indebted to the IMF...
This looks like a provocation(imo) by Poroshenko to cling onto power...election is in March...failing badly at the polls...unite the peeps against the boogeyman...jmo
so they start some crap with their weakest military branch near Russia's strong point in the area? relatively speaking.Ukraine is a role player(bought off leadership) in the geopolitical game called US vs RF....
The Ukraine wants no part of a military Russia....
Russia would take Kiev in a week, tops...
Madness on the Ukrainian side...whoever is calling the shots there....needs a timeout...
