The foreign-sponsored Syrian opposition has called upon Arab states to pressure the international community to supply militants fighting against the Damascus government with "sophisticated" weapons.

Another Russian military train, Novozybkov region yesterday [link to www.youtube.com] …
 Quoting: Newshunter



Many of these images are from the huge movement of equipment that I discussed yesterday. That still continues today.

NATO worries are now in overdrive as there has been no rotating out of any forces. The reported airspace closure is genuine too. (As you know, I also cover aviation stories)
 Quoting: Janey 55727230


The location of some of these new videos/pictures is somewhat concerning also. They are very near the borders of where Russia, Belarus and Urkraine come together, very close to Kiev. Sounds like the build up is not just on the S and E borders of Ukraine, but now also on the N border as well.

To be clear - they are not Russian. They are simply temporarily stolen. They will be returned to Ukraine upon the collapse of the Russian regime.

In the past people called the border checkpoint at Senkivka (UA) - Novye Yurkovichi (RU) - Veselovka (BY) "Three sisters".

[link to www.tiptopglobe.com]
[link to gordonua.com]

Indeed, it's very close to Kyiv, but the road from the checkpoint to Chernihiv is quite narrow to make a full scale battle march. Besides, the 1st tank brigade is deployed in Goncharosvkoye near (behind) Chernihiv. So, if Russians decide to capture Kyiv, they will use roads coming from the checkpoint "Three sisters", as well as from other two checkpoints to the east (about 30 km from each other).

Pity that authorities don't have faustpatrones to distribute among population.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1454349


I really don't think Russia is going to instigate a hot war with EU / NATO / US. It's just not going to happen.

I do, however, think a hot war between all of those groups will happen. The shooting is going to happen just like WWI, it's going to be unpredictable. It's going to come from somewhere in left field. Turkey moving into Syria, that's a possibility and it happened last night, or Kim Dumb Un going apeshit on Seoul out of the blue, that's another possibility.

I kinda would like to see that rumor of Yanukovych coming back and raising an army to retake Ukraine occur. That would be a real interesting dynamic. Yes, essentially a civil war between East and West Ukraine would give the pretext for everyone to get directly involved.

But most likely it's going to be some stupid event that sparks it all off. Hell, Israel could bomb the crap out of Iran or something (assuming they get permission to fly over Saudi Arabia).

For everything to really line up Turkey would have to take out Syria so Israel could have a more direct approach to Iran. So we could have a situation where Syria / Turkey are fighting, Israel goes into Iran, Turkey then tries to take the rest of Cyprus, China moves into those islands in dispute with Japan, North Korea could spark something in South Korea.

What would be REALLLLY crazy? With all the diplomatic missions, summits, and meetings going on there's a ton of "important" leaders flying all over the place.... Remember what happened to the Polish government a few years back? What if something like that happened to a diplomatic delegation?

At the end of the day everything is staging like WWI. An event happened and now everyone is doing a military buildup, tensions are high and the rhetoric is even higher. It will only take one spark somewhere to let loose open conflict.

 Quoting: BioReaper


Rumors that Yanukovich is back in Ukraine organizing a force of 30,000 Ukrainians loyal to him, armed with the latest Russian weapons. Since Yanukovich is still legal president of Ukraine (at least according to the Russians), he could start an open rebellion in the east, which Russian forces could then enter to support at his invitation.

It all waits for the ground to dry out after spring snowmelt. Don't want Russian tanks sinking into the mud.
