Russia has reiterated its threat to target arms shipments to Ukraine, with foreign minister Sergey Lavrov saying Friday that any cargo believed to be carrying weapons are “fair game” while vowing to block the transfer of Soviet-era S-300 air defense systems to Kyiv.

“Any cargo moving into Ukrainian territory which we would believe is carrying weapons would be fair game,” Lavrov said in an interview with Russia Today.

Slovakia has said that it is ready to send its S-300 system to Ukraine “immediately” provided that it receives a replacement to protect its own airspace.

In other words, Russia doesn't want its own missile system used against Russia. Poor sports.

Ok I agree they will attack anything they choose within Ukraine. Wouldn’t expect otherwise.

So then let’s get it in there.

Hey, Russian oligarchs may be vile and corrupt, but they aren’t stupid. Don’t even see why this is news.

Interesting. On Tuesday I heard a rumor that Russia was contemplating direct attacks on supply points inside Poland and Romania.

This would seem to corroborate that rumor.

Well obviously it’s fair game .

That would be WW3. Those are NATO countries.

Sounds like an act of war to me.

“Any cargo moving into Ukrainian territory which we would believe is carrying weapons would be fair game,”
***That is one dangerous game they’re playing. The cargo could be a busload of school children.

“That would be WW3. Those are NATO countries.”

So let’s hope cooler heads in Russia prevail.

“Any cargo moving into Ukrainian territory which we would believe is carrying weapons would be fair game.”

In other words, Russia admits that this is an actual war and not a military exercise.

[MercyFlush]

“Sounds like an act of war to me.”

If Russia wants a broader war then that’s up to them. If they don’t like this then they can always stop the war and go home.

[DesertRhino]

And NATO attacking Russian forces inside Ukraine would also be WWIII, and that has been discussed as well... a lot.

[kiryandil]

Don't you have lists to keep up?    

[DesertRhino]

What was your first clue?

[kiryandil]

Danzig HD Mapper hasn't updated in almost a week.

I think ScrewBloob is censoring them...

Targeting Arms Shipments ‘Fair Game’

Yep.

[Karliner]

All’s fair in love and war.

[MercyFlush]

“Don’t you have lists to keep up?”

What makes you think I’m not doing that right now? (-;

[MercyFlush]

Since the new Cold War started I’ve been wondering when we’re going to see a Russian warplane wander into NATO airspace and get zotted.

Naturally, both sides will call it a ‘training exercise’ for old times’ sake!
