Some people especially Obama, Hollande and Merkel call it the "Minsk ceasefire" which is "largely holding".......

Residents call it war.

MAJOR shift today in the Russian military ground attack strategy....fighting is still ongoing in the daytime...had been mainly a night time fight for the last four weeks.....Russian military and her mercenaries have largely been stymied in all of their attacks with Russian regulars suffering ever increasing loses in killed and wounded in the last two weeks especially their Spetsnaz units......

In eastern #Ukraine heavy fighting now rages also at day time after months of mainly night battles.

Bellingcat proves that "Grads" were shelling east of #Ukraine from Russian territory.

And the artillery attack analysis methodology we used was also used by the prosecution in the Savchenko trail https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-a...vchenko-trial/ …

THIS was before the Russian "incursion"......word used by the US....instead of the word..."invasion"....

NOTICE the US uses no word two years later.........and never seems to comment on the latest heavy Russian military attacks...utter silence out of this Obama WH and NSC.....

Russian shelling's and ground attacks are still continuing instead of slacking off as was usual......

YES even the Russians are now seeing what I initially wrote here in SWJ two full years ago at the start of Crimea......

The way to reign in Putin is via the price of oil....as it was a collapse in the oil prices in the 90s that led to the end of the Soviet Union and now we are on the verge of seeing almost the same thing in 2016.....the Russian economy is slowing collapsing the banking sector is a major disaster.

BUT in theory the Russians have it wrong....it is not the US practicing "hybrid or non linear warfare against Russia".....it is KSA this time....BUT WAIT it was KSA the first time around....
