    One of the best recent examples of Putin literally residing "in another altered state of reality".

    The Ukrainians are taking serious troops loses and their civilians are being shelled in excess of over 100 attacks a day largely verified by OSCE and are only returning fire in order to defend themselves ie today they returned fire with 82mm mortars after recieivng fire from 122mm and 152 mm heavy artillery.

    AND they have never crossed the contact line AND yet Putin states the following during a press conference from today.

    Putin: May I ask why EU & USA don't want to make Ukraine follow the Minsk accords? :[ https://twitter.com/AnnalenaLauren/s...65012043849728

    Russian has never complied with Minsk 1 and 2 and continue to ship in heavy weapons, munitions and troops into the Ukraine AND yet he states this--one must really ask "just what has he been smoking lately"??

    Putin seems to have totally forgotten that the first point in Minsk 2 that had to be fulfilled before anything else took place was ---

    1. a total and complete ceasefire

    That has never happened---

    Typical Putin bluster during a press conference--

    Putin: #Russia to boost nuclear arsenal with 40 ICBM missiles http://www.bbc.com/news/world-33151125
    pic.twitter.com/GYOStA7aAj

    BUT really this was not mentioned by him.......

    #Russia replacing old ICBMs that should have been retired years ago. Putin trying to make splash with old news to keep tensions up?

    BUT then the truth wins out--production of the new model is way behind schedule and he is still 20 short of his 40 total while many parts for them come from the Ukraine and have not been delivered.

    Seems to be Russia's ie Putin's worst nightmare---

    Remember it was a combination of a serious arms race, with a collapsing economy coupled with falling oil prices that triggered the Soviet Union collapse.

    He is now in the same repeat position as the Soviet Union was in the early 1990s.

    Putin fully understnads he cannot hold keep pace with the US if it slides into another arms race--but Putin does not seem to equally realize that his actions and bluster are in fact calling a new arms race into play--one he cannot win.

    Russian MoD deputy: "NATO tries to push Russia into a new arms race"

    The Russian sanctions are in fact hurting otherwise Russia would have not wasted their time with this press release--telling.

    Russian diplomat accuses Kiev of fuelling crises for maintaining anti-Russian sanctions

    June 16, 18:34 UTC+3

    According to the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexey Meshkov, it's done ahead of large international events

    NOTE--what he means here is the G7 Meeting and the coming EU Meeting as well.

    VIENNA, June 16. /TASS/. The Ukrainian authorities are interested in the deterioration of the situation in the east of the country ahead of large international events to preserve the sanctions pressure on Russia, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexey Meshkov said on Tuesday answering a question from a TASS correspondent.

    "It’s obvious that there are forces in the world and in Ukraine, which are interested in the deterioration of the situation on the ground in the run-up to major international events, including EU summits, in order to urge the international community to extend sanctions and impose new ones," he said.

    "Our principled position is: Russia did not impose sanctions, we are not asking anyone to lift them," Meshkov added.

    "We are realists, we carefully analyze what our Western partners say. But the general idea is that the sanctions logic should continue until full implementation of the Minsk agreements, whose term expires at the end of the year," the Russian deputy foreign minister said. Meshkov added that he found it strange that "the responsibility for the implementation of the agreements, which should be honored by the two parties to the Ukrainian conflict, was placed on Russia."

    The last sentence is interesting in that the Russians view the implementation of Minsk 2 to be only until the end of the year.

    WHAT happens if nothing is implemented by then??

    Seems the Russians are saying--we will run out the clock and THEN you have nothing to use to extend the sanctions on us as the Minsk 2 Agreement is null and void thus the sanctions must be lifted.

    From the current logic of Putin and his FM that actually makes some sense--this is the first time I have seen that argumentation being publicly stated.

    Also appears that Russian somehow is still taking the party line they have absolutely nothing to do with what is ongoing in eastern Ukraine.

    Is the Kremlin Worried About NATO’s Reinforcements in Europe?
    Fake Russia certainly is.


    By James Stavridis
    June 16, 2015

    Is the Kremlin Worried About NATO’s Reinforcements in Europe?


    Memo: Our Winning Strategy in Europe
    From: Russian Strategic Planning Cell
    To: President Vladimir Putin

    1. Let me begin by congratulating you, Mr. President, on our outstanding series of strategic moves in Europe. We have consolidated our annexation of Crimea, which now finds its rightful place back as part of Mother Russia. Your series of “snap exercises” all around the periphery of our country have clearly frightened NATO. Additionally, the brilliant concept of “hybrid warfare,” combining the deployment of Spetsnaz special forces, additional Russian troops and trainers in unmarked uniforms, vigorous propaganda, information warfare, and cyberattacks has everyone’s attention. And NATO freely admits it is not ready to face our new mix of tactics.

    2. While we have lost a little bit of economic muscle from the combination of Western sanctions and falling oil prices from their glorious peak, we are a tough people — and naturally your approval ratings within Russia remain at stratospheric levels. We assess that by working with our Chinese friends, over time, we may be able to improve our international balance of trade positions despite the sanctions; and the future of our Eurasian Customs Union (despite an oddly small number of participating nations) is bright.

    3. Geopolitically, we are reassembling a “ring of steel” of alliances around Russia with powerful allies like Belorussia, Armenia, Transnistria, South Ossetia, Abkhazia, and the newly formed emerging nations of Luhansk and Donetsk in the Donbas of Ukraine. Not quite what we enjoyed with the Warsaw Pact, but you can’t have everything.

    4. There is one small problem I would like to bring to your attention, however: the intention of the United States to pre-position heavy military equipment in Eastern Europe. Thus far, the NATO nations have been “keeping an eye” to the east, but have not significantly raised their defense spending from an anemic level of 1.5 percent, well below the 2 percent goal they aspire to and that the United States continues to champion. But we are somewhat concerned that the addition of these pre-positioned units may actually galvanize the Western alliance. Let me explain.

    First, these pre-positioned military stocks represent a real improvement in response times for NATO forces. If we were to rightfully intervene in one of the NATO Baltic nations on behalf of the down-trodden Russian minorities there (a case you have elucidated with extreme eloquence and brilliance, as always), the presence of these pre-positioned stocks of armor, artillery, ammunition, communications, transport, and missiles will be available to NATO — and especially U.S. troops — sent from bases in Germany, Italy, and in the United States.

    Second, this will probably be only the first step toward permanently stationing other NATO and especially U.S. troops in Eastern Europe. This, of course, is something we have fought against with all our might since the tragedy of the implosion of the USSR and the fall of the Berlin Wall. (You were right to call this a major geopolitical disaster of the 20th century, of course). Given Western perceptions about our “threat to the Baltics,” there will be a steady drumbeat from the Eastern European NATO members to add troops to the forward-positioned military stockpiles.

    Third, given the presence of the stockpiles, there will inevitably be a whole series of NATO exercises revolving around using them. We can expect a great deal of rotational deployment in and around the area of these caches, to include not only troops coming to work with the equipment, but inevitably their supporting arms — high-performance aircraft, guided-missile ships, Special Forces and their V-22 Osprey transports, and on and on. This will be problematic from a number of dimensions, including the need for us to conduct frequent (and costly) demonstrations and exercises ourselves. Recently, our deployments have been somewhat less than perfect.

    5. So the question for us is simple: How do we respond? Our planning cell has been looking closely at the options, and unfortunately they are not very compelling.

    Assuming you will want to follow through on our bold and absolutely correct comments about moving our forces to the borders of NATO countries, this will put an expensive burden on our armed-forces budget. Despite raising it significantly over the past several years, we are still in need of modernization for our strategic rocket forces, our advanced fighter aircraft, and our maritime power projection — especially submarines. Moving troops around is expensive and will reduce resources to these priority systems. We could move more missiles into Kaliningrad, of course, but this does not seem to have gotten NATO’s attention.

    We could respond politically, perhaps by obstructing Western efforts with Iran to obtain a nuclear agreement, find a sensible solution in Syria, or make difficulties in Afghanistan. Here the problem is that we actually do not have a great deal of leverage (with the possible exception of Iran). We have rightfully departed the old and tired G-8 (now pathetically called the G-7) and have little ability to influence via that route. So not much is available to us along these political and diplomatic lines. And so long as oil prices remain relatively low, our economic tools are limited.

    Mr. President, I am sure you have already rejected any idea of actually executing the Minsk agreements in Ukraine? While I fully recognize the vital importance of supporting the heroic leaders of Luhansk and Donetsk, I am just a bit worried about the long-term cost of rebuilding that part of Ukraine, as well as the entire Crimea. What else can we consider?


    I know this is delicate, but perhaps it is time for a little Maskirovka?

    I know this is delicate, but perhaps it is time for a little Maskirovka? Perhaps we should at least think about a sort of feint, wherein we nominally abide by the Minsk accords, settle for another “frozen conflict” with Ukraine (we can continue to manipulate events easily), and thus splinter the resolve of the Europeans? Brussels no doubt would be thrilled to have the chance to get back to “business as usual” (read: doing nothing) and is desperately seeking any excuse to do so. Even a hint of a relaxation in our posture — and something of a military withdrawal of some of our units from Ukraine — would be sufficient enough to begin breaking apart Western solidarity on this issue.

    The good news is that the Americans have not made a final decision yet on the pre-positioned military stocks, and we would encourage the soft power advocates in their government to stop this idea. It would also reduce the growing possibility of the Americans (or others) providing some level of offensive weapons to the Ukrainian government.

    If you agree, we could provide options to appear more accommodating on the surface, perhaps reducing easily traceable weapons, trainers, and forces in Ukraine. We could adjust our strategic public messaging to take a more conciliatory line. Naturally, we would redouble our more easily obscured support via cyber, cash, untraceable weapons, deep-cover agents, and the like — all the things you personally did so masterfully in your career in the KGB.

    6. Please do not mistake our enthusiasm for all that is happening! If you don’t like this idea, we will continue with our current approach. As you often say in reference to having a “Plan B,” the best Plan B is so often simply to work harder at Plan A! After all, with our new Armata tanks, we can still roll to Kiev anytime we want. As Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin so cleverly mentioned a few weeks ago, “tanks don’t need visas.” His Twitter account is fabulous, by the way, and an inspiration to all right-thinking Russians.

    7. The future is bright!

    Very respectfully,

    Your Strategic Planning Cell

    Russian humor for the evening before the shelling and ground attacks start which appear to be late this evening.

    We're hoping that US faked moon landings so when @Rogozin goes there to his planned base, no one can bring him back

    If the good Congressman is truly concerned about Nazi's fighting in the Ukraine--here is something he can sink his political teeth into and come out a winner.

    Challenge the journalist credentials of this particular Russian journalist who is often with OSCE as they tour the Ukrainian frontline positions.

    THEN the good Congressman should check this individuals' active membership in a Russian Nazi group also fighting at the same time in the Ukraine.

    So the good Congressman could couple defending against Russian propaganda, helping the OSCE as they are often willingly and or unwillingly being used for spying by the Russians and he could openly challenge Russian Nazi's in the Ukraine.

    I would say that is a win, win, win......
