Having your food rationed by the "Russian Army."


Won't be a problem.







Define "won't be a problem."

With the Ruble crashing, and oil prices falling through the floor,  Russia can't even afford to feed its own troops,  and you expect them to give away food to Eastern Ukraine in an orderly fashion?  Lol. I'm sure those import bans on food, causing food prices to skyrocket in Russia, will help make that more feasible.

Those bitches are gonna starve.

Ukraine has made it perfectly clear that they will NOT pay for any rebuilding of the "separatist" region.

Not a dime.  

Russia should have listened to Colin Powell...

Pretty much if you think Ukraine will be getting free gas from Russia.


Putin repeated again that if Ukraine wants gas they are going to have to pay for it.  If they don't have the cash (which they don't) EU should help pay.

So Russia will have to pay food and reconstruction for their new wards in Crimea and Donbass, AND they won't be getting cash from Ukraine.  

And their GNP is plummeting with the falling Ruble and massive drop of the price of oil.

That Putin is a cagey one.

Ukraine never paid their gas bill. Many times russia let them slide and sent gas anyway. Then western Ukraine decided to go pro west with nuland cheering them on. The EU won't give them jack shit because the main powers of EU look down on Ukraine and Russia won't give them gas because they betrayed their Slav brothers from their point of view.

Didn't see any photos provided by Ukraine.  Saw the ones that were put up on social media, and those were considered authentic.  

Very curious to see how they can be so confident that it was a "Separatist" BUK, rather than Russian Buk.

http://www.smh.com.au/world/prorussian-rebels-using-seized-ukrainian-missile-downed-mh17-passenger-plane-says-germany-20141020-118i9u.html

Mr Schindler said his agency's "unambiguous findings" were that the missile was fired by "pro-Russian separatists".

He said Ukrainian recordings had been manipulated, but he also dismissed as false Russian claims that the missile was fired by Ukrainian soldiers, or that a Ukrainian fighter jet had been flying close to MH17.

It was the Russian Army.  Germany IS correct that it was a Buk, and that it was shot down by Russians.  
Germany is also correct about Russia faking the imagery used to claim otherwise.

Manipulated equals fabricated?  
 
No one (other than Russia) has contested the images of the Buk in Separatist controlled territory that was seen befiore and after, and being transported via truck after the attack towards the Russian border, minus one missile.

I think this bit about it being a Ukrainian Buk in seperatist hands - as opposed to a Russian Buk - is quite fascinating in light of one of how one of the Russian balls tossed had been the claim they knew there was a Ukrainian Buk in separatist territory.  They were quite tight lipped about how they knew this, but were trying heavily to imply it was some Ukrainian attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of the West and were really trying to get a Western intelligence agency to admit that was a possibility.  Well, it all makes a lot more sense now.  Of course the Russians would know it was a Ukrainian Buk, if they (or their agents) were the ones who controlled it.

And yet, they didn't.  Nice to see you are consistent in repeating Russian talking points.  What's your Buk operational experience to state things so matter-of-factly?

So Ukraine will only be paying $385 per 1000.

The Russian demands that it be paid in advance, and I guess it'll happen.

Takes away quite a bit of Russian leverage.

Looks like Ukraine will be paying 4.5 billion PLUS the cost of the next 5 months of gas to help rebuild the glorious people's independent socialist republics of Donetsk and Luhansk.


But, more importantly, and as I noted a few weeks back, it's over for now. Deals will be signed, sanctions will be dropped, billions will trade hands. I know it's unsatisfying, to have a war end (pause?) like this, rather than a decisive finish, but Ukraine is probably eager to not freeze and starve over the winter, Russia is eager to have the sanctions dropped, and the EU doesn't give more than the appearance of a fuck as long as the gas flows.

A distinction without a difference.  Russia manufactured the whole movement so it doesn't matter who was actually at the helm of the Buk.  The Russians are ultimately responsible regardless.

"The autonomous modes are intended for last-ditch use by the Telar operators, not the more highly trained crews in the battery command vehicle. According to an experienced analyst of Russian-developed radar, the automatic radar modes display targets within range. The operator can then command the system to lock up the target, illuminate and shoot."

"The autonomous modes are intended for last-ditch use by the Telar operators, not the more highly trained crews in the battery command vehicle. According to an experienced analyst of Russian-developed radar, the automatic radar modes display targets within range. The operator can then command the system to lock up the target, illuminate and shoot."

I posted this before, suppose you missed it. you should read it!

At the time (mid-July), Russia was only deploying small teams, SPETsNAZ, and GRU.  The evidence that it was Russia is pretty damning.

Ukrainian military accused of repeatedly using cluster bomb rockets against separatists

The Ukrainian military has used cluster munitions numerous times in its conflict with pro-Russian separatists, likely scattering deadly bombs that did not immediately explode and putting civilians at risk, Human Rights Watch said in a new report.

An investigation earlier this month found that the weapons were used more than a dozen times in fighting in eastern Ukraine, Human Rights Watch reported. Dozens of countries agreed not to use cluster munitions in a treaty signed in 2008, citing the indiscriminate nature of the weapon. The United States and Ukraine have not signed the treaty, with U.S. officials saying they have some legitimate uses.

That's horrible, almost as bad as shooting down a civilian airliner.

Yeah... where is this world coming to?   Some don't buy Russian vodka they shoot down their airplane.  Some don't buy Ukrainian chocolate they bomb them with cluster bombs.

The horror, the horror...

So Russia will have to pay food and reconstruction for their new wards in Crimea and Donbass, AND they won't be getting cash from Ukraine.  

And their GNP is plummeting with the falling Ruble and massive drop of the price of oil.

That Putin is a cagey one.

The Chinese economy is tanking.    That is partially why oil prices are tanking.

They killed more civilians than anyone else. They (UA) didn't have the numbers to go into rebel held cities, so they blasted them with artillery, mortars and Su25's
