Trojan Horse…
Looks to me like Vladimir Putin should be increasingly alarmed at the turn of events in Eastern Ukraine. I had expected Russian tanks and mechanized battallions to roll two weeks ago, when Ukrainian forces began to gain back serious territory, cut the Russian supply lines from Luhansk to Donetsk, and isolate the Russian Special-forces led separatist forces
If Russia loses the foothold in Luhansk they have fought and bled for, it will be very much more difficult for Vlad to stage and launch a full-scale invasion.
Ukrainian Customs has passed these trucks, and they are said to actually hold humanitarian aid, so Vlad’s next move is going to be to send the mechanized units in to “secure” the areas where the “humanitarians” are going to claim that ethnic Russian-speaking citizens are suffering and dying and being oppressed and assaulted by the Ukrainian Army.
See Adolf Hitler’s identical excuses for the invasions of Austria, Poland, and Czechoslovakia in 1938-39.
This is the prelude to War.
Putin is restocking his separatists. It’s like if Saruman just let provisions be delivered to Helm’s Deep in the middle of the Battle of Hornburg.
Not picking sides here. Just sayin’.
Wow. This is getting serious! Just listen to Putin getting ready for his deadly invasion:
“This is beyond anything that we’ve seen. So we must prepare for everything. And the only way you do that is take a cold, steely, hard look at it and get ready”
Whoops.
Sorry- my bad- that was actually Chuckie Hagel getting hysterical about ISIS.
Superpowers - whatcha gonna do?
The optics using this photo should be like an ED pill for the Dominionists, look at the number sequence.
Where is Pat Robertson when we need him.
More like Moscow Jackass.
The “liberal” commentators here sound a lot like Netanyahu explaining how humanitarian relief sent to Gaza is a “Trojan Horse”. Which shows all Americans left, right and center are neo-cons who believe in their god given mission to police the world.
