KYIV, August 25 /Ukrinform/. Azov battalion deputy commander Ihor Mosiychuk has reported an invasion of a large number of tanks, Grad multiple rocket launchers and howitzers through the Ukrainian-Russian border.

"A full-scale invasion! This information has been fully confirmed by border guards and volunteers. Near the settlements of Marchenko and Shcherbak, not far from Novoazovsk, about 30 tanks with sketched Russian labels and under the symbols of the so-called DPR broke through the Ukrainian-Russian border. This convoy of armored vehicles is moving toward Telmanove and Amvrosiyivka," Mosiychuk said.

According to the report, a huge number of Grad launchers and howitzers broke into Ukraine near Novoazovsk. DPR terrorists and Russian aggressors are firing at a bakery in Novoazovsk with grenade launchers. The offensive on Novoazovsk and Mariupol is going on.

The Russkies just can't keep to themselves and who wouldn't invade when you have a buffoon like Obama in...uh, ahem, charge.

Obama was installed in his position by the Communist wing of the Democrat Party to assist the reemergence of Russian Communism. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a covert Communist-Democrat, who connived against PM Winston Churchill and American anti-communists. Wilson was a socialist-communist Democrat striving to bring communism into the mainstream of American society.

The Russian terrorist mercenaries are the neo-NAZIs, and their Fascist mentor in the government of the Russian Federation, Dugin, has just published a message calling all Ukrainians “bastards” who do not deserve to live and says Ukrainians need to be eliminated in a genocide. As bad as some racial supremacists may be in the Ukraine, they cannot begin to remotely challenge the Russian predominance in the number of neo-Nazi and genocidal Communist racists murderers or their control of the military means of the Russian Federation to commit another genocide as it did before numbering in the tens of millions of Ukrainian lives. Your innuendo against all Ukrainians to the contrary is about as low down and despicable as it gets.

“Prague 1968 (US President Democrat)”

While that invasion seems like it was some policy lapse on Johnson’s part, it had more to do with internal US mil stuff - specifically reassigned officers and staff sargents from Vietnam trying to make a name for themselves.

Believing in strict military discipline over troops - whose function they knew nothing about other than they were soldiers with weird job descriptions, these Perfumed Princes and Nam retreads proceeded to destroy all effective Intel collection along the West German-Austrian border.

Thus, it was that the Soviet Guards and Shock Armies ‘disappeared’ until they surfaced in Czechoslovakia, unexpectedly being ‘found’ after the fact by a bored day-beggar on one (tape) reel of low level traffic.

Johnson had nothing to do with that particular fiasco.

Carter was aware of the Soviet’s intentions, but did nothing - he was still shaken from his encounter with a rabbit.

Obama was aware and likely informed - if he or VJ had attended the daily Intel briefing - but does not care.

Following Zbigniew Brzezinsky, it was actually his plan to lure the Soviets into Afghanistan.

The 2nd principle of the law of armed conflict:

2.The principles of distinction or discrimination-—the requirement that combatants be distinguished from non-combatants, and that military objectives be distinguished from protected property or protected places;

Whoever these guys are they are in violation of international law.... not that anyone cares about that these days.

Destroy them indiscriminately.

The cities and settlements reported are south-by-southeast of Donetsk, along the Sea of Azov, as though in anticipation of taking the railroad east of Mariupol, or that city (toward Yalta and Crimea Proper, beyond.)

The Russians may be beginning the long anticipated denial to Ukraine of the Sea of Azov, creating a corridor to Crimea or simply taking the rails east of Mariupol to set up relief of the recently-successful Ukraine siege of Donetsk from the south.

What is going on in Mariupol??
https://twitter.com/hashtag/Mariupol?src=hash
Several tweets within the last few hours of panic among the UK troops there, and thousands trying to flee the town to the west.

If the rebels take Mariupol, along with the other two thrusts moving, it could create a huge pocket, with 7-10,000 troops in the bag.
