Russia massing troops on Ukrainian border - Polidicks

U.S. ambassador to NATO Douglas Lute offered the estimate during a security forum in Colorado, saying there were “now up again over about 15,000 Russian troops amassed along the border with Ukraine.” Meanwhile, the Pentagon said Friday that movement of Russian heavy-calibre artillery systems across the border into Ukraine is “imminent,” adding that Russia is escalating the military action there. A Pentagon spokesman, Colonel Steve Warren, said the U.S. has seen the powerful rocket systems moving closer to the Ukraine border and they could be put into the hands of Russian-backed separatists as soon as Friday. U.S. officials warned this week that they had new evidence that Russia intended to deliver heavier and more powerful multiple rocket launchers to the separatist forces in Ukraine. Warren told reporters that the delivery could happen at any time. Warren also said Russia continues to fire artillery across the border into Ukraine. “For the last several days, Russian forces using Russian artillery from Russian soil have conducted attacks against Ukrainian military positions in Ukraine,” Warren said. “This is unquestionably an escalation from a military perspective.” He declined to say what impact the attacks have had on Ukraine’s military, but said the attacks are coming from the southern border area, near Rostov-on-Don. Warren said the U.S. has seen no indication of Ukraine firing back into Russia, and there have been no reports of civilian casualties. He said the number of Russian troops along the border continues to slowly but steadily increase. Close to 12,000 are there now.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/russia-massing-15000-troops-on-ukraine-border-us-nato-envoy-says/article19768254/[/url]

I've seen that headline so many times I'm wonder if there's any troops left anywhere else in the country.

Haven't you ever played call of duty before? Russia has at least 16 billion troops in reserve.

It starts to look like a tide. Troops come to the border, and then disperse. They come to the border again, and disperse. Many times.

The Russian army must have weekly camping trips to the Ukrainian border. Gotta get away from the stresses of life somehow.

if the separatists were russian soldiers they would be doing way better than they are right now [editline]26th July 2014[/editline] i really need to stop trying to automerge [editline]26th July 2014[/editline] but i think at this point in the conflict theres totally spetsnaz teams in the fight

[QUOTE=Groat;45503824]By disperse you mean they put on Ukrainian Separatist uniforms, cross the border and join the fight as 'rebels'[/QUOTE] Given the "successes" Ukrainian military has been achieving during this conflict, 10-15 thousands of rebels would've captured Kiev yesterday... On foot.

All I can think about is that guy's AK, it doesn't look fully into battery and it's deeply concerning me. I just want to see if it's clean. D: Right now there's some Russian guy who may have an improperly maintained rifle and [i]I can't do anything about it.[/i]

This makes me so fucking uneasy

[QUOTE=Pr0fane;45504869]This makes me so fucking uneasy[/QUOTE]Don't be, this is like the twentieth time this has been in the news. Russia's not going to invade Ukraine, there's nothing to gain and a whole hell of a lot to lose.

Russian mercenaries (and a Serbian) in action [url]http://en.censor.net.ua/video_news/294724/terrorist_filmed_the_group_of_russian_and_serbian_mercenaries_invading_ukraine_fck_my_ss_is_ripped_to[/url] Video from about 2 weeks ago These guys are really clueless in what they're doing.

that time of the day again?

"Russia massing troops on the border" is the new "North Korea makes threats to the West".

One of these days they will do it

Ah you see this is actually escalating, even over the last month things have escalated hugely. IF things like this keep happening (such as the shot down plain) there will be a big war that'll drag more and more people in

[QUOTE=Mingebox;45503759]I've seen that headline so many times I'm wonder if there's any troops left anywhere else in the country.[/QUOTE] Maybe Ukraine should invade Russia, right now, without warning. If it's anything like that time Russia massed most of it's army on Germany's border, they'll get caught off guard and destroyed with ease! Oh, but whatever you do Ukraine, [b]stay the fuck away from [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stalingrad]Volgograd[/url]![/b]
