Ukraine Warns Of 'Full Scale' Invasion As Russia Moves Its Artillery Close To The Borders
Daily Mail ^ | March 12, 2014

Posted on 03/12/2014 1:06:43 PM PDT by Strategy

Russia could launch a 'full scale' invasion that would see troops overrun Ukraine in hours, a senior security official warned today.

The secretary of Ukraine's National Security and National Defence Committee Andriy Parubiy claimed Russia has 80,000 troops, 280 tanks and 170 aircraft massed on the border ready to invade.

'They are adding to this military potential,' he said. 'We have a critical situation on the entire southeastern border. The Russian army is only two to three hours from Kiev.'

Ukraine's defences would be incapable in the face of a Russian invasion, he said.

Breaking news (as I’m writing this post):

Clashes are underway in downtown Kharkov city (5 miles from Russia border).
Kharkov pro-Russian defenders are standing against militants, presumably from the ultra-right Right Sector (the most active and violent group on Maidan). “The visitors are shooting from assault rifles,” one Kharkov resident said.

They from the windows of a building hosting the headquarters of the Right Sector organization. Stun grenades and Molotov cocktails are being thrown from the second floor of the building; 40-50 militants are huddled inside. The police cordoned off the building, and a special operation is underway.

Two people were killed and another two injured in clashes between residents of the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkov and militants from the Right Sector (radical Ukrainian group), Kharkov mayor Gennady Kernes said Saturday.

It’s pure fantasy, but what if our POTUS said,

“Vlad, tomorrow I’m going to sign all those fracking permits on my desk & any that follow, I’m going to finally authorize the Keystone pipeline, I’m going to make the U.S. into the Saudi Arabia of natural gas, and as a result I’m going to totally trash the price of what you get for your Gazprom exports & earn the gratitude of the rest of Europe.

“THAT”S what I’m going to do about it, Vlad!”

local authorities were apparently ‘covering up the actions of Right Sector’ and trying to hide the fact that the group has a hideout with a cache of weapons in that building...

Margurite...this is the same building I’d mentioned in a past post where the police were told not to interfer..

Lots of underhandedness going on there. That’s what happens when you put the likes of those creeps in charge of Ukraine.

So the fact I knew the police were told not to interfer.....the fact it took almost 40 minutes to make the police respond to the call,...but of course the new police chief appointed by the Kiev “junta” is covering up all crimes carried out by the Right Sector in Kharkov.

“The local “junta controlled” media, Yudaev warned, have already twisted the story and tried to present it as an attack by Oplot movement on an office of some “political organization” that has nothing to do with Right Sector. But the group inside the building is anything but peaceful, Yudaev said, as videos clearly show Molotov cocktails being thrown at people standing outside.”

How long it will take?
How many years for being operational?
What’s the liquified gas price including the transportation cost 6,000 miles away?
How do you reach the central European countries?

It’s MY pure fantasy, I imagined this conversation:

(Phone rings)

Putin: Putin speaking, who’s there?

Obama: “It’s me again, President Putin. I demand you remove your troops from Crimea.”

Putin: “President Obama, I demand you remove your military base from Guantanamo in Cuba.”

Obama: “What happens in the Western Hemisphere stays in the Western Hemisphere. It’s none of your business.”

Putin: “What happens in the Eastern Hemisphere stays in the Eastern Hemisphere. It’s none of your business.”

Obama: “But France and Germany say ...”

Putin: “France, Germany, pfft. With Germany we’d been there, done that, remember 1941-45? Is momma Merkel sure to go there again?”

Obama: “Well, I draw the red line, too bad you ignore it.”

Putin: “Oh, no, red lines and more red lines, what are you, a communist? Ha!” (Click.)

*Reported that an article in one of Netherlands biggest newspapers confirmed ‘Right Sector is guilty’...so there are those onto this story besides MSM and RAT and Others.

Interesting reading they had a cache of arms they were attempting to hide in that building...might be why they fought so...

"Column of Right Sector armed mercenaries left Kharkov for Donetsk & Lugansk" to open "Eastern Front"...being reported... Interesting is even the Pro-Ukranians are asking Putin to help them now get rid of the Right Sector thugs.....they are going to war with this Gov. as well..because the citizens are seeing now Right Sectors thugary across their communities.

Some Ukranians knew the US was behind this early on and protested at the US embassasy because they learned things were being orchestrated from the US embassy in Jan. 2014

Amazing how when people finally get the truth..and see for themselves...things begin to change. Hopefully Putin will not have to do anything....if he does the US and press will indeed retaliate....they know if they loose Ukraine..no missile sites...no oil grap...no resouces...no payback to the millions they dumped into this uprising.

The photo was taken outside the US Embassy in Kiev and there is a Communist party in Ukraine, so I'm not sure how you can be so sure they're not Ukrainians.
