I agree that Putin, Iran, ISIS, North Korea, whomever is out there and looking to do bad things will make a serious push before 2017, but I think they'll also push real hard into 2017 if certain people are elected to see what they can get away with.
Vice News did a GREAT season finale report on the Ukraine conflict. Vice News and the alternative press seem to be doing all the serious reporting while the main stream media is more focused on bullshit like Bristol Palin. |

Dnipro-1, one of Ukraine’s many pro-government volunteer regiments, today released a video compiling drone footage of a Russian military camp just south of the village of Sontsevo in the Donetsk region.
Two drone flights were made over the same area, two weeks apart. Over that time, the camp grew from a small collection of tents and engineering vehicles into a fully-fledged forward operating base (FOB), complete with tanks, communications equipment, personnel quarters and even new roads http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/06/30/apparent-russian-base-found-in-ukraine.html |

The Russian AG is supposedly investigating the legality of the USSR recognizing the legality of recognizing the independence of the Batics. I am going to LMAO when they trot out the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact as grounds for owing them.
As for the buildup,it may mean an offensive is in the works but more likely they're absolutely insuring that Donbass remains a "frozen conflict" that precludes EU and NATO entry as Ukraine is bookended with these situations. I think this is mostly a face saving gesture: I don't think Putin figured Ukraine would fight at all after handing over Crimea and of course it's impossible for him to back down. It's certainly cost more than it's worth,the mines in Donbass aren't going to pay the tab for this adventure and Crimea effectively has no economy right now,it's going to be a while before that bridge at Kerch gets built,maybe open in 5 years so those looking for immediate handouts may be sad pandas. I think something that a Russian said about Sochi might sum it up "all the money spent on it was going to get stolen anyway so good they actually built something". Maybe a few thousand dead war heroes is worth it to them in national pride,perhaps they'll get concrete statues at some point. |

Quote HistoryQuote HistoryThe Chechens, by all accounts, are valuable soldiers. Ukrainian commanders lionize their skills as scouts and snipers, saying they slip into no-man’s land to patrol and skirmish.
The Chechens are also renowned for their deft ambushes and raids. In the Chechen wars, insurgents had a policy of killing officers and contract soldiers who were taken prisoner, but conscripted soldiers were spared. In Ukraine, the Chechens’ calls of “Allahu akbar,” or “God is great,” are said to strike fear in the hearts of the Russians. In the interview, the Chechen commander said his men liked to fight with little protective gear. “This is the way we look at it,” he said. “We believe in God, so we don’t need armored vests.” In the interview at the restaurant, a steakhouse and favorite haunt of Right Sector, the Chechen said he was about 45, had fought against Russia in both Chechen wars and had seen a good deal of violence. When he talks about combat, his eyes grow dark and inscrutable. For the Ukrainians, the decision to quietly open the front to figures like the Chechen — who are making their way here from Europe and Central Asia — has brought some battle-hardened men to their side. The Chechen had been living in France, and he founded the Chechen battalions last fall along with Isa Musayev, an émigré from Chechnya who had been living in Denmark. |

I'm reading the electricity to Donbass has been shut off due to non-payment. There is speculation that Putin may be pulling support. Also noted were seperatist pulling back from the outskirts of mariupol. I'd cite this but I read it on a RU website earlier and unfortunately can't remember the website

Russia is seeing considerable capital flight right now and many who made a load don't think it will ever be possible to make it back in Russia so much of it likely isn't coming back. There are things like new Ferraris with $100k knocked off the price in Moscow and megamansions in Putin and Medvedev's neighborhood on the block with tens of millions off their price tag as their owners have taken their money and run to Paris,London and even Tallinn (not locals supporting the new Lamborghini dealership...) and Riga. The sanctions have been quite mild but cheap oil is certainly hurting.
The thing is,the nationalism "we all need to suffer so America doesn't win" propaganda works on those without means to leave. Putin certainly isn't the kind of guy to admit that he overplayed his hand but the Russian economy is in no position to suck up meaningful sanctions and pressure so anything to provoke them wouldn't be wise right now,especially as it's looking less likely that China's oil demand will stay as strong as he hoped. Of course there remains the risk of him saying " F it,in for a kopeck,in for a ruble" and use everything they've got at once,in hopes that Greece has the EU sufficiently occupied. I would not be incredibly too surprised if something along the lines of Russia pulling out of Donbass in exchange for Ukraine agreeing that Crimea being given the status of autonomous republic got floated. Undoubtedly the Ukrainian far right would never allow Poroschenko to agree to such a thing peaceably. As is,I don't reckon the status quo is quite worth it to anyone. The whole thing is fucking absurd. The Ukrainians have got the shitty end of the stick pretty much forever and this all came about simply from people having enough of it. In the east you're seeing many POWs interviewed saying that the only reason they're fighting is because the mines are closed and they need money so the poor bastards are getting shot up not out of ideology but for a paycheck. That does make me wonder what a Russian in Donbass' life is worth to Russia,$100 if they last a month? That Vlad,he's cold hearted like that. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

The bridge had been in planning for decades and actually there was one temporarily in the late 40s that was built from materials the Germans left from one of Albert Speer's projects. Silly trivia but the movie Cross of Iron is set on the Taman Penninsula,the right hand side.
The graft,kickbacks and corruption will certainly make Boston's Big Dig look like the height of transparent efficiency for sure. Of course there is the question of if the bridge will even do anything to the flat Crimean economy as afterall,Sochi still hasn't become the new Crimea Russia was hoping for. I guess they'll have to spend many more billions in Sevastopol since they already played "let's rebuild the port of Novorossiysk" to make them happy. Poor Vlad might have to open his own wallet...nah,ain't gonna happen. Meanwhile,Russia now owns a couple hundred more meters of Georgia so they can into pipeline http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jul/14/georgia-accuses-russia-of-violating-international-law-over-south-ossetia ETA: there are Marines in Georgia training right now,the message is clear. |

You used a 15 second blurb on TV to confidently assert how the "western media" was characterizing the thing? FWIW, I just did a look-see throughout the 'net and most of the major English language western news sources. Reuters: Ukraine points finger at Russia as families mark downing of MH17 AP has run two articles I could find: 16 July: A year on, Ukrainian villagers recall horrors of MH17 crash 17 July: Ukrainians, Australian kin mark year since MH17 downing Interestingly, the latter seems to have been quite popular: Yahoo News: Dutch, Ukrainians, Australians mark year since MH17 downing Fox News: Ukrainians, Australians mark anniversary of MH17 downing ABC News: Dutch, Ukrainians, Australians Mark Year Since MH17 Downing The New York Times even ran with it: Dutch, Ukrainians, Australians Mark Year Since MH17 Downing I'm stil not bothered by "crash" in the least, and find it funny how oddly word some of this stuff is to avoid using it. Perhaps people were trying to avoid rustles jimmies. There's also a chance the older AP article had plenty of coverage as well, and it was a day older and thus harder to fund on google. I do like "downing" though. I think I'll start to use it. |
