In two hours and 15 minutes it will lighten up. Then we will see what showed up over night. I'd really love to see them mine the held airfields with special munitions, if they have them.

GD fights for months to cripple all US intel capabilities, assuming any capability that might be used on Americans, must be for use on Americans. Now we get the whining.
You don't think Snowden gave the Russians more than enough for them to figure out how to counter our capabilities? You think this stuff can be rebuilt by magic?
Another win for Russia, with the legions of useful idiots cheering them on.

RUSSIAN MI-24 COMBAT HELICOPTERS OVER BELBEK, NORTH OF SEVASTOPOL
Something about the gnat-like view of multiple helicopters on a run make shit look ominous as hell. Or awesome as hell, depending on who you're siding with.

I didn't think of the debt bit, but getting rid of the Russians is a no brainer.

Indeed. But I don't doubt for a second a supply is very close by. Its non-threatening and low-intensity... for now

Could some of the people we are seeing be part of the old government? Elements of the Ukrainian security services close to the president in exile?

Not even Snowden made such claims. He merely said it was scary how they could be used.
The rest was derp piled on herp by people reading into things what they wanted to read into things.

Did you see the security cam footage of them taking over that govt building? There's plenty of ammo. They're not being issued it on the streets for a reason. This looks more for media consumption/message sending than occupation and hasty defensive measures. We'll see tomorrow how much ammo they have.
