ABC: Pentagon announces that the destroyer USS Donald Cook will enter the Black Sea on Thursday for unspecified training.



Ummm.. I don't know. How many US warships can you fit into the Black Sea??
 Quoting: RelentlessDespot


there has been a slow but significant buildup of american naval forces in the black sea to counter act the russian forces that are already operating in the theatre
 Quoting: GodzillaReturns


This could have the unintended or deliberate effect of drawing a Russian move into Ukraine further than it would otherwise go. Ukraine could easily lose all of its Black Sea coast as an objective of any Russian military action. I am not sure what the thinking is here. This kind of "reassurance of allies" is not without its potential consequences.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36640563


do you honestly think the boys in the pentagon have been at war for over ten years and haven't thought up of ways to deal with that? our politicians are morons no doubt, but our military people...they are not.
 Quoting: GodzillaReturns


I expect they are morons, if they think war with Russia will be the same as war with Libya, Syria, or Afghanistan. Russia has superior forces and shorter supply lines. American forces will be destroyed, and the Russians won't need to break a sweat to do so.

A good thing, in my opinion. Losing a major war is just what the U.S. needs to begin to return to sanity.

Daily activities by Russian troops on their national territory pose no threat to U.S., OSCE countries - Russian Foreign Ministry

MOSCOW. April 9 (Interfax) - Russia is not conducting any unusual or unplanned military activities on its territory in the area of the Ukrainian border, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
The U.S. and Ukraine have no reasons for concerns. Russia has said many times that it is not conducting any unusual or unplanned activities significant in terms of military issues on its territory in the area of the Ukrainian border, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a commentary posted on its website.
The daily activities by the Russian troops on its national territory do not threaten the security of the U.S. and other OSCE countries. The attempts to accuse Russia of beefing up its armed forces are groundless, the ministry said.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 46863956


^^^Thank you for trying AC. I'm not even sure why I still bother.
At this point if people can't see the same MO past and current repeated open criminality by the u.s. in so many places, all for the same reason toward the same end..
I surrender then to the din of chaotic, twisted, pointless debate..since there is no choice.
Completely inside-out parroting exactly as Kerry, Olba, Clinton, et al, the people most reviled on this site suddenly are PROMOTED.
Let's all march right off the cliff to the rocks below shall we. Why not since we are all too nuts to survive let alone evolve and recognize a simple cognitive task.

Jump off a cliff.


Pattern here when the truth advances it will get swamped by the sheer number of shills. Then the top shill feeds more cardboard garbage, specially mangled more ingestable 'secret' garbage...still garbage nonetheless.

Reporteurs Sans Frontieres concerned over bans on entry of Ukraine for Russian reporters
World April 09, 20:09 UTC+4
PARIS, April 09. /ITAR-TASS/. International human rights organization Reporteurs sans Frontieres (Reporters Without Borders) is highly concerned by the increasingly frequent cases where the incumbent Ukrainian authorities ban the entry of Russian reporters and newsmen to Ukraine, Johann Bihr, the head of the organization's Eastern Europe and Central Asia desk said in an interview with ITAR-TASS Wednesday.

"We are highly concerned by the regular denials of an opportunity for Russian journalists to cross the border, since this contravenes Ukraine's international obligations in field of mass media freedom," Bihr said.

He recalled that freedom of travel is inalienable from freedom of the press, adding: "In this connection, we strongly call on the Ukrainian authorities to avoid such incidents in the future."

They have no credibility after they refused to comment when europe and uk decided to illegally shut Iranian news station.
These guys are a total joke claiming freedom of the press. Only works when it suits them.
They were clearly asked by iranian journalists to make a statement regarding presstv and other iranian media closure from europe and uk and they refused to comment. We now know who runs them.

Russian delegation: PACE’s report on Ukraine most glaring show of double standards
World April 09, 20:45 UTC+4
PACE held an emergency debate on the ‘Ukrainian problem’ Wednesday accompanied by the passage of a resolution, which apportioned all blame for the latest developments in Ukraine to Russia.

“Threats are not coming out of Russia,” Alexei Pushkov, the head of the delegation who is also chairman of the foreign policy committee in the State Duma said speaking from the PACE rostrum.

By making such claims, “PACE rapporteurs showed solidarity with racist parties (in Ukraine),” he said.

Deputy head of the delegation, Leonid Slutsky, supported Pushkov and said it was important to speak about an unlawful arrival at power in Kiev of the people, some of whom espoused Nazi ideology. “That’s unacceptable for today’s Europe,” Slutsky said.

Slutsky expressed full disagreement with the rhetoric of the report, which exposed the fact that the document had been written “far away from Strasbourg.”

“I wouldn’t be surprised (to learn) it was written in Washington,” he said, urging PACE to refrain from voting on the report, which he said was a stunning instance of double standards.

If Xi Jinping had given Putin's March 4 speech:

"But more importantly, rather than taking account of the numerous appeals to national unity and reconciliation, political power in Lhasa has been concentrated in the hands of Han extremist elements that do not hide their xenophobic, anti-Buddhist, neocommunist credentials. Not surprisingly, one of the first decisions of the new rulers was to abolish the law on regional languages, a move that has caused concern not only among Tibetan-speakers, but also in Turkestan, Mongolia, and Hong Kong. This has coincided with a widespread campaign of intimidation of the ethnic Tibetan population and desecration of monuments. Buddhist shrines, such as the historic Ganden prayer hall, have been torched.

The situation of the Tibetan community in Qinghai has become particularly precarious. As soon as rallies erupted to express protest against with the way the Lhasa events had unfolded, Tibetans in Qinghai were accused of separatism and were threatened with force. There has been a lot of speculation regarding movements of troops of the Khampa warriors. During the night of 1 March, unknown armed men sent from Beijing tried to seize the Lhasa administration building. Only decisive actions by self-defence groups were able to stop that provocation that has left many people injured."
