Satellite images reveal Russian military buildup on Ukraine's border
The Guardian ^ | 10 April 2014 | Leo Cendrowicz

Nato has released satellite images of the Russian military buildup on Ukraine’s eastern border: a powerful concentration of fighter planes, helicopters, artillery, infantry and special forces which officials say could be ready to move with just 12 hours notice.

The images appear to undermine official suggestions from Moscow that there is nothing unusual about the troop movements, nor any reason to be alarmed.

“Just how do people think Russia would respond to the Obama/Soros/sodomite EU overthrow of their most important neighbor and strategic ally?”

Russia Today/Alex Jones Bullsh*t. The people of Ukraine freed themselves from a puppet dictator serving a foreign power that murdered millions of Ukrainians over the last century. The Kremlin butchers responded as any tyrant responds to disobedient subjects.

I have to wonder at the fact that a sizable portion of posters here are pretty much openly cheering for Russia against the US. It is not just being against Obama or thinking the US federal government needs trimming, they are outright praising Putin. So basically their dream government is a dictator we a tough guy image, who represses opposition, builds an empire with aggressive warfare, eviscerates civil liberties including destroying the free press, and shoves homosexuals back in the closet using skin heads dressed in police uniforms.

I have a feeling that if the US ever goes to war with Russia and loses, some of these Freepers will end up dressed in KGB (FSB these days) uniforms, going around beating up and arresting protesters/journalists/homosexuals for glorious leader.

Russia has no WMD!

No blood for borscht!

No war for big borscht!

No imperialist war for borscht!

How many lives per bowl (of borscht)?

(Just attempting to recycle some old anti-war slogans.)

In all honesty, I can see how Russia does not respect or fear us anymore when all this country cares about is fag marriage and fags playing sports (according to the media, our communist government, and many of our population). I hardly recognize this country anymore. Predators can always sense weakness.

And there is nothing we can do anyway. We have very few ways of projecting force in that region without the consequences being nuclear war. All these arm chair commandos need to study strategy. If Russia is serious, we might be able to stop them at the Channel.

I’m waiting for the Ukrainian government, at the first sign of a Russian invasion movement, to hold a press conference and say:

“Remember all our nuclear weapons we surrendered to the West, well, we kept a few that we didn’t tell you about.

To quote your late President Reagan, when the Russians make their move, we will tell our forces, “let the bombings begin”.

Gonna be one helluva show, and they’re gonna need more Russian soldiers, ones who don’t glow in the dark.

Ukraine’s fate was sealed in 1994 because they trusted the Sink Emperor, Russian "gangsters" waiting in the shadow of Boris, and a future US Administration to care about the region.
