Just so you know...Putin IS actually moving troops and tanks back to their bases now....just don’t expect it in our news.
“Putin IS actually moving troops and tanks back to their bases now....”
I have said all along that an actual “invasion” wasn’t in the cards.
BUT...
There is a very large, live-fire aircraft training op planned in Southwest Russia, for the same day as the Ukraine Prez election.
It is already scheduled to include around 100 aircraft, including fighter-bombers, and the TU-160 Supersonic Bombers. Watch that one, carefully.
If Putin is going to intervene in the Civil War, it is going to be with an Obama-stlye “No Fly Zone”, which will allow him to bomb anything in sight, in the Southeast.
I think it all hinges on the election outcome. If Right-Sector/Svoboda don’t give up power after Poroshenko wins, he’ll act, I believe.
That said, I don’t think they will go without bloodshed. They are already trying to outlaw the Communist Party, before the election.
