Ukraine (closed; covers till August 2014)

[JMA]

Replace "Ukrainians" with %nationname%, "Russians" with "Americans" and this statement become even more close to the truth.

As you like but the truth is that the US has never been a physical threat to its neighbors or anyone near on the scale as Germany and Russia were and Russia still is.

The Russian problem - to be truthful- was the result of leftist/communist inspired support of the Soviets from within the Roosevelt administration at the time. It took the US under Truman too long to counter Soviet influence... the rest is history.

If one studies the Russian mentality one will realize that it will take a nuclear deterrent - that will be used in time of need - to put the Russians back in their cage... and out of the non-Russian states that currently fall within the Russian Federation.

The Russians - correctly - are banking on the fact that neither the US nor any in Europe are prepared to act decisively to counter their expansionism.

JMA---you are as correct as ever and many commenters in this thread and on the other threads have truly failed to understand the Soviet expansionism of Putin's Russia.

I remember only a couple of days before the elections the West ie EU/NATO/US indicated they would pull the trigger on harder sanctions if Putin interfered with the election---well he did and but was done-nothing because he uttered a few moderate comments and pesto all was well in the West.

If one fully understands the new Russian doctrine of New Generation Warfare which is really a national level UW strategy tied to irregular warfare which JMA fully understands supporting a political war again something JMA fully understands then one will recognize with this article from today backed up by the video link on the cell phone photos from a dead Chechen fighter and kaur's recent link to 22 May events that the "war" is now over in the Donbas region.

Would not call the dead Chechen a "weekend warrior" or better the new term "war tourist"---he is plain and simple a paramilitary full time member of a Russian "radical nationalist" irregular fighting group whose leader is a fanatical supporter of Putin and who has close ties to the FSB/GRU.

AND what is the response from the West with the "none meddling" by Russia in both the election and now in the support for Chechens inside Donbas?

Nothing is the answer.

Still curious that mirhond who is quick to respond to comments failed to respond to the dead Chechen's cell photos especially the logo of his Chechen unit. Check the logo of his Chechen unit, check the quality of the Russian plated 4X4s in the garage and quality of arms and equipment-and tell me he is a "weekend warrior".

If mirhond would honestly answer directed questions to himself which he never does but why would he---would enjoy seeing his definition of "Russian fascism".

Better yet---mirhond here is an easy to read English article concerning "Russian fascism"--do you agree with it or disagree with it---maybe you could simply answer in a yes or no fashion as you definitely will not respond to the article--even to a yes or no question.

mirhond---did I miss you not responding to the dead Chechen fighters cell phone photos---check the Chechen BN logo.

Although based on his commanders' comments he has sent no one to fight in the Ukraine---although it seems like 34 dead Chechens were sent to Russia today and they are admitting there are another 30 or so dead Chechens not recovered near the airport so about 70 got killed.

But hey mirhond there are no Russians fighting and dying in eastern Ukraine are there---Putin has stated that it is not Russians who are fighting in the Ukraine so I am not sure just where these "war tourists" are coming from or do you know---maybe Right Sector soldiers looking and speaking like Chechens?

Check the shot down Russia drone link---and there is no Russian involvement in the Ukraine?

By the way Germany and Russia were once linked via their lines of royalty of their kings---you are not prosing that Putin is a king are you and Merkel a Queen?

Retired German general offered to send NATO-Russia peacekeepers to Eastern Ukraine. Sounds like good idea.

[OUTLAW 09]

mirhond---there is an old European historical saying---wherever the Soviet Army decided to rest it never seems to want to leave---ask the Poles, the Baltics, the Hungarians, and the Czechs.

Even Putin as a KGB officer in Dresden recruited GDR citizens the Soviets felt were pro Soviet for a "coup" against Honecker in 1989/90 as they felt Honecker was getting to "moderate".

By placing the two Russian peacekeeping Bdes into eastern Ukraine which by the way were the first Russian troops into the Crimea is NOT a good idea---who says they will ever leave an that is what Putin really wants---- Russia troops in the "New Russia".

Why do you think the idea is good pray tell?

What is a good idea is to bring back to the Ukraine those troops who are currently on peacekeeping duty as they are use to using force to take care of road blocks don't you think?
