Who will stop them?

JMA---would have agreed with you but the RIA comments by the Russian FM seems to indicate that something was said by the US and backed up by Germany that led to a 50 vehicle "humanitarian" protected by Russian Airborne/SF armor to come to a sudden halt meters from the border.

He simply stated "we got the comment" but did not go further into it.

So something was said in a manner that halted a moving convoy within minutes into the conversation as the US was informed during the conversation the convoy had halted.

Putin had to have been totally informed as a previous Interfax release earlier during the same day indicated he was handling the "humanitarian efforts" personally.

As per my comment in another thread if this "comment" was so persuasive then why wasn't it used when Russia invaded the Crimea?

Good question---maybe the fear of an open ended war triggered it.

One Swede, one Georgian - it would be nice to put them in one grave.
