Russia sending aid convoy to Ukraine despite Western warnings of invasion pretext

President Vladimir Putin said on Monday that Russia is sending an aid convoy to eastern Ukraine despite urgent Western warnings against using humanitarian help as a pretext for an invasion.

With Ukraine reporting Russia has massed 45,000 troops on its border, NATO said there was a "high probability" that Moscow could intervene militarily in the country's east, where Kiev forces are closing in on pro-Russian separatists.

This isn’t a gay pride parade. Take your incessant shrieking somewhere else.

Their lawyers argue in part that

Church community leaders and human rights activists do not agree with the ruling and argue that the church did not carry out educational activities; rather, they only provided space for activities with children who were enrolled in "external studies."

Hard to argue one way or another as no nitty gritties are given. Maybe they were violating the new anti gay propaganda law, by promoting same sex marriage, who knows?

I believe our Churches are registered as non profit, non political institutions and can also be disenfranchised if they violate the rules. But as you know, favorites are excluded (the justice brothers, Jessy and Al).

The new Russia with a flat tax, pro-family, anti gay agenda, and Christian promoting policy is on the right track.

I noticed you didn't respond to my post but chose to repeat this stupid stuff anyway.

How come?

Wrong Americans can’t stand Russia’s invasions and occupations of sovereign nations with the killing of tens of thousands of people, and that is why we speak up about the Putin’s and Russia’s evil.

The ruling thugs of Russia are raping the economy of Russia, the tax rate is meaningless when there is nothing left to pay taxes with. Putin and gang are making billions off Russians by ever escalating energy prices that are a simpler more direct way of getting all the treasure than any tax.

Homosexuality is rampant in the military and there is next to nothing Christian about this govt, they are the workers of satan. Educate yourself on the persecution of evangelical Christians in Russia. You think invasions, death and oppression of people is Christian? What bull!

......who knows?

I know, because I have friends evangelical missionary friends in Russia including one who just got back from Russia after years there. The church is under attack in Russia and it is the Putin govt and Russian Orthodox church Satan Coven that is doing the persecution.

killing of tens of thousands of people

Since the early nineties, where have they done this.

The ruling thugs of Russia are raping the economy of Russia

And Putin is kicking them out as fast as he can. In fact the people are so pleased, they,his 'victims', 87% support him.

Homosexuality is rampant in the military

So says you. Now in Russia Homosexuality is prohibited to be discussed. I would guess it's more rampant in what was the good old USA.

Educate yourself on the persecution of evangelical Christians in Russia

Show me a link, and I'll probable show you Al and Jessie clones trying to set up shop. Religions, like everyone else have to obey the law.

Do some work yourself huh? Moldova, Georgia, Chechnya and now Ukraine. There are also lots of blood on Putin’s hands with Russian involvement in another half dozen countries. And let’s not forget the 298 men, women and children on Flight MH17

Yea those who oppose Putin and his gang of thugs have no fear of speaking up, 87% support ... grow up ... like his 99% support in Chechnya eh? Geez you must live a sheltered and low information life.

You clearly don’t have a clue regarding the last items... do some work on your own huh? You don’t want to believe the facts and have and informed adult discussion then don’t waste my time.

And don’t think they’re actually being fooled by any of that BS. Maybe they’re getting paid to spread pro-Putin, pro-Russian crap over the internet.

Their “news” site was a commie site all about “class struggle”, either that or state-run Russian media.

Russia is hardly a Christian country, they are the #1 country for abortions aren’t they? Isn’t it a “thing” for Russian women to have their womb vaccuumed monthly?

How are their laws on kiddie porn:.... weak...

http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/europe/06/02/russia.child.porn/

and prostitution is a minor crime, like littering

Your assumption is correct:

Documents Show How Russia’s Troll Army Hit America

http://www.buzzfeed.com/maxseddon/documents-show-how-russias-troll-army-hit-america

and
The Kremlin's Troll Army. Moscow is financing legions of pro-Russia Internet commenters. But how much do they matter?
http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2014/08/the-kremlins-troll-army/375932/

Maybe we should make a list of the Putinistas here at FR and check their posts to investigate when they started with the pro-Putin propaganda? Some are probably paid, some are sleepers, some logins are stolen, some really believe what they write.

The most likely hypothesis is that the Russian “aid convoy” contains food, generators, field kitchens etc for their invasion, and is planned to be spread in the area. Then Russia will send paratroopers...
