Ukraine: military (Aug '14 to mid-June '15) closed

[OUTLAW 09]

Ceasefire is now formally over --so those that thought negotiations with Russia is the way forward--must now bury that idea as long as Putin is in power.

#REPORTS from all over the occupied territory in #Ukraine:Heavy Russian attacks.
Offensive started at sunsets in the north,center and south

Now we are seeing the Putin move to annex eastern Ukraine which was the plan all along which is what he has been stating for six months.

#Breaking The DNR regime says, it will only withdraw its troops out of the agreed on #Minsk #buffer_zone, IF RUSSIA GUARANTEES ITS SECURITY

This would officially give it the same status as South Ossetia or Abkhazia.

This goes to the RIA press release yesterday when Russia stated it could be a "guarantor" of the DPR/LPR.

[OUTLAW 09]

At the outset of the Russian Crimea annexation a number of commenters here openly stated that Russia did have some valid complaints about NATO "expansion" to the Russia borders.

Putin has argued in the press that NATO "signed agreements" to not expand and yet they did thus Russia reactions.

I have on a number of occasions pointed out that NATO never signed anything with Russia thus the statement is just another myth in a long line of Russia myths used as propaganda to justify their political moves.

This article from the Washington Post nails it again concerning the "alleged" Russian humiliation by the West as the core reasons for Putin's military actions in Crimea and eastern Ukraine.

After studing Crimea episode I found out those interesting episodes.

MOSCOW, March 4 (RIA Novosti) – Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that his country has not deployed any troops in Crimea recently and has no plans to annex the peninsula.

http://en.ria.ru/russia/20140304/188...to-Crimea.html

MOSCOW, March 3 (RIA Novosti) – The speaker of Russia’s lower house of parliament suggested Monday that there was no need for his country to use military force in neighboring Ukraine, in an apparent effort to temper anxieties as evidence emerges of substantial Russian troop deployments across Crimea.

http://en.ria.ru/world/20140303/1880...n-Ukraine.html

NOVO-OGARYOVO, March 5 (RIA Novosti) – Despite widespread evidence to the contrary, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Wednesday that reports of Russian soldiers in Ukraine were “complete nonsense.”
Shogiu said that photographs showing heavily armed soldiers deployed across Ukraine’s southern Crimea peninsula over the last week were provocations.

Not even a single bit of new information in this post. Come on, you may do better, bring some funny nonsence from Russian media.

[kaur]

You asked so nicely

In the end of September Donbas rebel media announced that OSCE monitors found graves of victims killed by Ukrainian troops. Observer's name is Einars Graudinsh.

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jvnKgZnvXcs

Very quickly OSCE monitoring mission in Ukraine announced that there is no observer with this name. In fact he is Latvian pro-Russian activist.

http://euromaidanpress.com/2014/10/0...erious-expert/

Good pic with him http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/andre...3_original.jpg

Despite this Russian two governmental huge newspapers picked up this story and spoke with OSCE "observer".

Izvestia http://izvestia.ru/news/577523

Rossiiskaja Gazeta http://www.rg.ru/2014/09/30/donbass-site.html

This is not the end. Latvian guy spoke about 400 bodies mass garve in Donbas. Russian FM Lavrov and human rights (sic!) deputy minister spoke about this in UN!!

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hpnvuY0mUaI

Russian propaganda is trying a lot. Here is news clip from Russian nr 1 brainwashing channel. Operator has in a very clever way mixed together 2 events. They show OSCE observers and their own "observers".

Plus 1 story which talks about anonymous OSCE observers and about mass grave and rape victims.

Here, enjoy him begging Kremlin apparatchiks for protection.



ps. everything else in your post is much more valuable.

Dear mirhond! Thanks for compliment under PS section. This is another small example how "journalists" are working in mind programming business. Is this good or is this bad, you as Russian should know better. One result is here expresses by one Russian guy in Donbas.

They reported that 75% of volunteers - are Russians, and only 25% of local as Ukrainian men, under various pretexts avoid participation in hostilities.

Have you any news about Spanish flight controller from Ukraine, who commented eagerly about downing passanger plane in Twitter? Have Ukrainians prisoned him ( no complaints from Spanish officials?). Has Russial troll farm closed this account?

PS 1 your comments about Russian bloggers are like putting trademark on their site Malgin's comment to Peskov thought expresses widespread feeling. Forum readers can evaluate Malgin's work here.

Malgin's comment to Peskov thought expresses widespread feeling.

ORLY? This claim is true just because Mal'gin says so? Don't be so "outlawish", present us at least one peice of evidence.

OK, lets reconstruct your logic: initially you posted Mal'gin's one-liner "Putin fcuked down everyone", now you support this claim by irrelevant doc about sanctions which says nothing about Putin. LOLWUT?

your next link: one Russian rookie volunteer (who probably didn't even finished a bootcamp) says about 75% of Russians in militia - I yeld to superrior knowledge.

keywords in the story of a Zlatoust deputy (who probably came to Donbass no more then one month ago)

in his unit 90% are from Russia

Although, these evidences make some sence, I personally believe thal locals who initially were enthusiastic, now become more and more disappointed by lack of material aid and leave militia.

[kaur]

My friend mirhond, why this kind of acronyms? I thought that you understand the language of diplomats

If I remember correctly Strelkov/Girkin complained already in May that locals don't want to fight.

What is feeling in Moscow? Not very entusiastic I suspect looking at this.

About volunteers in Donbas. Sorry, mirhond, my bad. I forgot volunteers from Abkazia and South Ossetia. Do they count as Russians or not? Surkov coordinates them, plus Ukraine, so I think we can count them in?

comrade mirhond---by the way the Russian Army in fact has the Tochka U's in the Ukraine---you must really pay attention to your own Russian Army movements and not the lies told to you by Russian fascists.

by the way you should also check the geolocating work done on the Tochka U missile strike in Donetsk at urkraineatwar.blogspot.nl

[OUTLAW 09]

comrade mirhnd---if you think your comrade Putin is having economic problems now with his oil check this article was a hedge fund advising group--by the way was it not the great Putin that stated in his Mila press conference it was an oil conspiracy by the US and KSA?

Oil to hit ZERO?


Speculators, like hedge funds and other big money investors, play a role in the price of oil as well. They can push it up past market fundamentals or, as they have recently, cause it to plunge -- the latest dip sent global oil benchmark Brent down 25% to around $85 per barrel, and U.S. oil benchmark WTI even lower.

Energy traders are betting that oil prices will keep falling. In a recent Bloomberg article, Citigroup's global head of energy strategy, Seth Kleinman, was quoted as saying that, "several big, smart commodity hedge funds said oil is going to zero." He went on to say, "they are being somewhat dramatic, but they were incredibly bearish."

Bearish oil bets are growing
These speculators are increasingly putting their money on bigger bets that oil prices will keep plunging. Over the past month, hedge funds and other large speculators lowered their net-long positions in WTI by 4.8% according to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC. Meanwhile, short positions in oil jumped almost 8% in the past month. These two factors likely played a role in accelerating oil's plunge in recent weeks as it went into bear market territory.

Speculators have long had an impact on the price of oil, and even OPEC has come out to blame speculators for oil's most recent decline. In its bi-monthly bulletin the organization said that, "the actions of speculators are again behind much of the price decline." Still, OPEC isn't planning on cutting production at the moment, as it can handle lower oil prices while speculators make a few bucks on the downside. After all, let's not forget that in the past OPEC made quite a lot of money when speculators sent oil prices spiking higher, as in July of 2008. So it's not ready to break the speculators just yet.

How low could speculators push oil prices?
There is certainly reasons to be bearish on oil prices, at least in the short term. Oil production in the U.S. is up to a 28-year high, while demand will be lower this year than it was in 2012. With so much oil coming out of one of the world's top oil consumers, it's no surprise that oil prices are finally falling.

How far oil prices will go before hitting bottom is anyone's guess. However, oil producers in the U.S. will likely cut spending to drill new wells if oil prices stay at their current levels for too long. Meanwhile, if oil prices fall to around $70 per barrel, producers will likely make even deeper cuts. Finally, oil prices in the $60 range mean that the U.S. oil boom would likely screech to a halt as producers dramatically cut spending, and jobs too. This is all assuming OPEC doesn't cut its production first.

However, leaving OPEC out of the equation, it is unlikely that oil would go below $60 per barrel and stay there for too long. The spending cuts by American oil companies will have an even more immediate impact, because oil production from shale wells declines rapidly. Take a look at the following chart of oil production from the Eagle Ford shale in Texas.

All the money producers are pouring into the Eagle Ford shale right now is expected to yield production from new wells of 154,000 barrels of oil per day. However, net production is rising by just 35,000 barrels per day, because the production from previously drilled wells is expected to decline by 119,000 barrels per day. So once producers start to cut spending, production from new wells will dry up and the change in legacy production will eat into production.

Oil will never be free
Because of this dynamic it won't take long before oil production in the U.S. begins to fall. This would work to stabilize oil prices in the short to medium term, and likely cause oil prices to start heading higher in the longer term. So don't bank on oil ever being free. Instead, get used to the fact that oil prices, while volatile, will likely always push higher.
