It is posts like that why I don't believe the protests of not being pro-Russian...just simply non-interventionist and the like.

Here you are thinking the Seps and the Russian command are two seperate camps and all that equipment plus the people who run just appear instantaneously. No, I'm not. I am fully aware the "Separatists" were fully a Russian creation. I always put "Separatists" in quotes, if you noticed, because they are synonymous with the Russians. It was an insurgency composed of Russian SOF, GRU, and a sprinkling of Russian nationals living in Ukraine. When the insurgency designed to destabilize Ukraine was starting to fail, Russian SOF and other insurgent forces begged Moscow to cut the pretense of not being involved and give massive support. From start to finish, Russia has been responsible, and its planning has sucked all along the way. They never expected the Ukrainians to put up such a fight. |

The disorganized mob of Russian mercenaries with their SPETsNAZ and GRU helpers were capable of partisan fighting and small attacks. However, even with tanks and artillery, they could not conduct combined arms, maneuver warfare; it's beyond their abilitity. So Russia sent in multiple, regular armored and airborne battalions, and anti-air to deny Ukraine the sky. No magic tactics or strategy; just Russia sending in the army. If you are now claiming to have discovered Russia's brilliant strategy of destabilizing a nation and then invading... ...welcome aboard. |

The news media has been MIA on this whole situation. Sure, there was good coverage immediately following the Crimea seizure. But since then, the coverage has been woefully inadequate. Even Fox News is failing to cover this story to the degree coverage is warranted. All the news programs are willing to talk about ISIS in-depth. But they simply gloss over the Russia/Ukraine situation, if they mention it at all. To me, this situation is worthy of more national media attention. Had the old Soviet Union invaded another nation in this manner, this shit would have been the top story in the national media. In fact, it would have been deemed a "crisis" by the old rules. But now? Hell, this situation is taking a back seat to ISIS, Ebola, and about a dozen other topics. The media is happy to swallow the President's lies. http://shadow.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2014/09/04/white_house_islamic_state_truth_questions NPR ran a story this morning about the 'shocking rise' of anti-Muslim crimes. Secifically, people targetting Sikhs and others (including middle eastern people) in America because they were believed to be Muslim. This rise in religious based targeting has increased since 2001. Since 2001 there have been ONE HUNDRED FIFTY documented cases of targeted crimes based upon this anti-Muslim sentiment. Muslims feel targeted because of their religion. I am surprised I have not shot my radio. 150/13 = 11 cases per fucking year. The media is so far in the tank for Obama that I am not sure how they can even keep a straight face. TRG |

Have we discussed the recent "Fuck You, America" delivered by Russia? Obama speaks in Estonia and promises more support, two days later Estonia has a top ranking official 'kidnapped' and accused of spying? At this point, I doubt any more visits from Obama will occur. TRG Not sure if in this thread, but that seemed a clear move to "remind" Estonia that the US could not protect them. It was the international version of when some mob heavy scares the wife of the star witness. FWIW, what's the scuttlebutt in Kazan these days? Anyone talking politics anymore? The few Russian "friends" I have on facebook went through March and April sounding like MikeEIB and his buddies here, and have since gone to either radio silence or just limited themselves to funny videos and photos. Dunno, my BIL landed here three weeks ago from Kazan. He's been busy with school (freshman year) and I am not sure if he has any meaningful information to give. He's not much for political intrigue. As for my in-laws over there, have not heard from them directly. Most communication with my MIL is about BIL's schooling. TRG |

They never quite say it, but I presumed they were. "Not Russian' is the only solid clue we get. I can understand about 80% of what they say, so its mostly Serbo-Croatian, but there is some what I guess is Polish or similiar thrown in there too. Either way, pretty much the only Slavic game character of note we get, so enjoy! View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

...I'd play a game with customizable tracksuit pants in a heartbeat... GTA 4. Niko Bellic is the Every-Slav. Speaks a mish-mash of various Slavic languages, and can customize his track suit outfits as he sees fit. http://i60.tinypic.com/fz9i8k.jpg Great game, but I thought Niko & cousin Roman were Serbian? On a side note, I love track suits. They never quite say it, but I presumed they were. "Not Russian' is the only solid clue we get.

View Quote Odd that RT, an outlet that epitomizes the very definition of journalistic integrity, would link to the AI report discussing only separatist malfeasance and completely ignore this one which shows a less myopic viewpoint of the entire conflict. Not by any means defending the Aidar assholes, but according to my timeline, they weren't abducting Russian supporters before the Russians invaded. |
