Footage has emerged of a white Mil Mi-24 helicopter allegedly being used in Ukraine's antiterror operation against pro-Russian separatists near the Donetsk Oblast city of Kramatorsk.
Three further combat Mi-24 helicopters and one transport Mi-8 helicopter bearing the UN logo were spotted in the region by the Russian news outlet Life News.
The UN has distanced itself from the footage below [video at URL], stating that, as Ukraine is a contributor to the organisation's forces, it must remove any UN insignia when the materials are returned.
A spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Ban-Ki Moon said that any use of peacekeeping equipment, bearing the name of the UN, for non-peacekeeping purposes would contravene UN rules.

Pools that get the opposite of planned response - oops - forgedda about it -
Unfortunately the old cold war horses have difficulty grasping the realities of how the world works today. They still see Russia as the USSR. ...and can’t get away from that mindset.
It pays well to see what the Atlantic Council is doing as well......they are now moving toward Moldova...three day visit by Pres. of the Council.....so there’r far more going on in Putin’s area of influence then most realize....if they knew they would see things differently perhaps.
I am not a Putin fan by any means...but I certainly respect and understand why he is doing what he is...we’d do the same if Russia had their Political Leadership prancing around in Canada or Mexico trying to display their leadership and install their own puppet Gov. (IE: Cuban Missle Crisis)
I did see that article...and there are other sources which also revealed this long in the works for Ukraine....amazinging Eu?US ignored Putins warnings time and time again...so here we are in the thick of it all!
BTW The US Foreign Policy is what is driving Europe’s actions and re-actions.....since we’re protecting their countries they have no choice but to deliver as this administration determines.

This is a speech before the American Newspaper Publishers Association at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. It happened on April 27, 1961. The "secret society" or in JFK's words, the "monolithic and ruthless conspiracy", is the Soviet Union and the speech discusses that threat.
Read the entire speech here.
Yes, it's all an internet hoax.
(You are welcome!)
All you RINO’s and Obama-bailout artists (must protect Obama at all costs!) are cultists. Give up endless interventionism.
No, no, no, Greetings Puny Humans is an either/or thinker. He cannot think Neither/Nor.
So, he thinks we can be either against Putin or be Putin cultists. With RINOs here at FR there is NO middle ground. They cannot think about, nor fathom a policy of “stay out of this.”
That is the middle ground that we as a nation have to take sometimes: Neither interventionist, Nor isolationist requires that sometimes we just go down the middle and stay out of it.
Sad to see the RINOs on here being incapable of being neither isolationist nor interventionist, which Reagan was, and which the Founding Fathers were.
Reagan knew that sometimes you intervene, and sometimes you don’t This is a case where we should not have Us aid, arming them, no NGO’s. We should stay out of this, IMHO.
Youre free to post the link and quote the relevant portion which asserts, as you do, that they uncritically reported on the presence of Russian troops in Ukraine, as opposed to the photos of that one fellow with the beard (who since then has had a bullet put to his head, actually).
AMEN -
and it would’ve helped if ‘we’ hadn’t been the instigators with implanted mercenaries in the first place -
and if the Sheeple would educate themselves on the REAL enemy - the Agenda 21-ers - who are not only world wide - but in our backyards...
They are not our elected officials. They CONTROL our elected officials - the “Shadow Government” that has free reign to operate because to the vast majority, they don’t exist.
