According to multiple reports, the Russian military is building a large contingency of armored vehicles on the Ukrainian border. This represents a possible escalation in the situation between Russia and Ukraine, which has already reached crisis levels.
Reuters, as well as other sources, is reporting the build-up is happening on the border of the Crimea region of Ukraine.
Pictures purporting to be from the Ukrainian-Russian border seem to confirm the reports:
Elsewhere, Russian troops are reportedly surrounding army bases in Simferopol, the capital of Crimea.
This photo purports to show this grouping of soldiers:
Experts on geopolitics are calling the conflict between Russia ad Ukraine, as well as the conflict it produces with the West and its possible consequences, have stated that the global tensions of this crisis are "worst than 9/11."
Well it looks like Soros is going to get the war he wanted started. I’m guessing he invested in some military weaponry manufacturers beforehand.
And I am responding today with this clear message to President Putin. The US military is going to take prompt, effective action. Starting today, we are gutting military health care for all of you serving in uniform, and for our veterans who have served. We are going to cut the housing allowances for active duty, and cut your pay to several points below the real inflation index. We will be throwing over one hundred thousand of you out of the military. Your families will suffer from a loss of benefits, and your retirement pay is in jeopardy. I have also ordered the cancellation of the A-10, the KC-10, one aircraft carrier battle group, and thousands of vehicles. I can hope, as does the President, that this firm action sends a strong, clear message to tyrants like Vladimir Putin.
Very informative picture. It seems the only two people that are smiling are the two females, one a 1st Lieutenant and the other a “butter bar” [as we used to call them in my day]
"As the World Turns."
Russia and Crimea region have no land border.
Looks like Russia violated Ukraine’s sovereignty and moved the troops right on through.
The latest reports are there are 6,000 troops IN Crimea.
I think the only unanswered question is: Will Russia settle for only annexing Crimea...or will they take more?
Oh yea, a great time to further gut our military... after all, weakness is a virtue, no? Well we are a lot more virtuous now, huh? As we watch a tyrant reclaim the territories of the former Soviet Union, as the flickering flame of liberty is brutally extinguished.
How about some unilateral nuclear weapons cuts now Obama? We don’t need to deter Puty the Impaler, do we? He wouldn’t do THAT would he???
Obama will go down in history as the modern equivalent of Neville Chamberlain, and Jimmy Carter, only much worse.
-We are so screwed!!!
