    Great example that Kerry should be using when "we will judge Putin by his actions not his words"...Obama 2014.....

    Remember #IIlovaysk. Two years ago russians offered a corridor for the encircled Ukrainian troops to retreat and then massacred many of them


    BUT WAIT they "offered the same type of corridor in Aleppo" and were surprised when the rebels rejected it?????

    IMPORTANT to watch......

    A number worth keeping an eye on. Very little information how large reserve force #Russia is calling up for SNAPEX

    Russian Mindef: on South direction created army battle group
    http://liveuamap.com/en/2016/29-augu...n-created-army

    It's crazy, #Russia is preparing almost everything for war. Time to be 'deeply concerned'.

    In framework of military sudden test Russian govt, ministries, Nat. Bank are on test on ability to work in war time
    http://russia.liveuamap.com/en/2016/...ian-government

    Russia is actively preparing for war since a while. The west is doing almost nothing beside issuing "concerned" statements.

    Russian Ministry of Defense declared mobilization of reservists

    @Liveuamap hard to understand the translation. How many reservists are we talking about here?

    Not clear what they mean, possible trucks of state enterprises/or some military/ KAMAZ caches, not civilians' owned

    THIS is actually a very important indicator....during the Cold War German war plans and serious mobilization plans foresaw the mobilizing of commercial heavy trucking assets capable of moving armor, ammunition and troops outside of the regular army assets.....that is why they would test once per year that concept by doing routine safety checks of those designated vehicles....

    #BREAKING: Media report that #Ukraine will announce #military #mobilisation due to #escalation in the east
    http://www.rbc.ru/rbcfreenews/57c3ee6e9a7947dd5f28eb2d

    THIS now confirms that once this exercise is complete and in place Russia can go to full scale war inside minutes.....QUESTION is now is Putin going to fully invade Ukraine Or is he basically "blackmailing the West" by threatening full scale war if Ukraine does not capitulate to his demands???

    I read they even transfer trucks from civilian sector into military service?

    WITH this single move Putin has placed Russia on a "war footing"....

    The western MSM and literally all the western leaders including Obama seem to have totally forgotten that up to this battle the UAF was pushing Russian mercenaries slowly but steadily out of eastern Ukraine....THEN this battle triggered their loses...AND signaled the Russian military invasion of eastern Ukraine....if one actually traces the timeline of the Russian invasion it started at the moment MH17 was shot down.....

    Ilovaysk. How it was. Ukrainian column.
    They basically shot WIAs, and POWs even after the treaty.
    https://youtu.be/95EfUcesFG8

    There has been some exhausting and extensive social media open source analysis of this Russian invasion in 2014 clearly depicting step by step the actual Russian pre and invasion using imagery from Google Earth......
    down to actually seeing Russian tanks in the imagery.....

    NEVER confirmed by US IC....

    Ukrainians hailed their dead as heroes, Russian soldiers were buried in secret and forgotten.

    Dear @NATO @SHAPE_NATO @USArmyEurope @USNavyEurope etc. Sincerely hope you are keeping a very close watch on Russian reserves mobilization.

    On the list of Cold War serious Soviet pre war invasion indicators held in the hands of Indications and Warnings teams (I&W) was this single point that triggered alarm bells back in DC.........

    BUT you will know things are serious when UAF starts intercepting the voice communications of Russian tank/troop commanders within ONE kilometers of the Ukrainian border to Russia....

    NOW things are starting to get serious....really serious....and not a single word, utterance, comment out of any western Intel Service...who should he watching this like hawks...especially after blowing not having seen the development of the Crimea annexation coming....

    Unconfirmed: #Ukraine's Military commissariats ordered to prepare for urgent mobilization

    As always, it would help greatly if senior UA politicians and generals called a spade a spade: RU risk increases, but no need for panic.

    Interesting that Russia is doing this even though they completely failed to pre register this exercise with OSCE as required under OSCE agreements THEY signed...

    Antonov:Rus MoD invited foreign military attachs to active stage of #Caucasus2016 exercise
    http://s.mil.ru/2buFmVJ

    Question is will they actually follow through OR is this simply a "masking operation"?????

    Russian Armed Forces to put on a "good show" for foreign dignitaries (while secretly prepping for war?) #Kavkaz2016 https://twitter.com/mod_russia/statu...19807610441728

    Antonov invites foreign military attaches to "wine & cheese" party observing "Kavkaz-2016" choice (not secret) bits

    BUT they will definitely not be shown this....
    ToCrimea
    Official Russian MoD video shows transfer of heavy equipment to occupied #Crimea.
    https://www.facebook.com/lists/10203802281998119

    Russian claims though the exercise is to last until 31 August which does not leave much time to "show anyone anything" does it?????

    Ordinarily, an EMERCOM tweet we'd ignore. But prepping fire crews in occupied Crimea. Part of pattern: prep for war?

    WELL at least the Russians have gone full circle with their propaganda...same language used just after Crimea and just prior to their invasion of eastern Ukraine........
