This would be the second time he’s given the order! Did the Russkie troops not listen the first time?

PULLOUT.

Great word, PULLOUT.

To bad BO’s sperm donor didn’t practice that form of Birth Control suggested in the 60’s.

Too bad his egg donor didn’t believe in not only Birth Control but Abortion.

As stated before, way bad many of these so called ‘leaders’ parents didn’t use the methods they expect us to pay for - against our will - today.

Best (well one of the best) forms of Birth Control is a dime held in place between the knees with the express concern be to not drop it.

I was wondering the same thing. I’m not sure how many of the Russian disinformation lies have been exposed, but not recognized by the media itself in their own reporting. Odd the media can’t recognize the conflict in what was said versus what happened in less than a month.

Lots of travelers still in useful places. I wonder if it’s worth investigating. Freepers have certainly dug out stuff before and exposed it to the light of day.

He achieved his objectives

He absorbed Crimea

He got kicked out of Ukraine allowing western leaders to take credit

Meanwhile, he still has Crimea and it is swept under the various western rugs

Poroshenko is a Centrist, who thinks Ukraine can do business in both world’s, the East and the West.

That Centrist message is ringing with average Ukrainians, who see the coup government as no better than what they had before.

Will the Obama Administration/Right Sector/Svoboda radicals (Especially the Billionaire Radical Kolomoyskyi) be willing to accept defeat, after all that has happened, and all the blood that has been shed?

I really think Kolomoyskyi is the wild-card in this.

Again? Isn’t this like the 3rd or 4th time we’ve heard this.

Putin is apparently as FoS as he is gay. And that man is waaaaay gaaaaay.

Billionaire Radical Kolomoyskyi be willing to accept defeat......... your quote is balony-- only thing meaning defeat to him is putler invading taking over or the elections are stopped. If putler is out and elections are held he wins big, as his gamble to have his large workforce help get rid of terrorists in his area worked for now...

‘’’’Russia without Ukraine cannot be an empire.’’’’

It is in EUs vital interest that their neighbor, with their help,
Ukraine, manage to repel the Russian invasion. And Ukraine not
affiliated in any way the Eurasian Union or whatever name they
choose for a new Russian empire.”

Russia without Ukraine cannot be an empire.

Russia without Ukraine in it directly, cannot be an empire.

Russia without Ukraine under its thumb, cannot be an empire.

Russia without Ukraine cannot get the most of Eastern Europe.

And I’m a former 16-year zoomie, that specialized in Russia-related activities, up to the point that Clinton decided that Russia-related activities could be shut down....

Now that our bona-fides are established, can we agree that this isn’t the Soviet Union, and this isn’t the Cold War?

The checkmate for your list is China and Asia.....not to mention the South-Stream bypassing Ukraine entire.

Like it or not Putin has been on the move throughout the Ukraine Crisis, and this continuing to consolidate his alliances with all the Bric countries...successfully.

Ukraine has shot their own foot, when they could have otherwise made at some advances out of their poverty....Now they will end up once more a failed state dependent on the EU and US...who will in time drop them like a hot potato. Putin has kept Europe and the US in crisis mode over Ukraine while he never had any intention of taking Ukraine...rather moved toward China, Russia,India and all the Asian nations who are "comfortably" allying with him now........ Eu/Nato/Us played their cards all wrong in this....but then it is the Obama Administration in charge....

“Putin IS actually moving troops and tanks back to their bases now....”

I have said all along that an actual “invasion” wasn’t in the cards.

BUT...
There is a very large, live-fire aircraft training op planned in Southwest Russia, for the same day as the Ukraine Prez election.

It is already scheduled to include around 100 aircraft, including fighter-bombers, and the TU-160 Supersonic Bombers. Watch that one, carefully.

If Putin is going to intervene in the Civil War, it is going to be with an Obama-stlye “No Fly Zone”, which will allow him to bomb anything in sight, in the Southeast.

I think it all hinges on the election outcome. If Right-Sector/Svoboda don’t give up power after Poroshenko wins, he’ll act, I believe.

That said, I don’t think they will go without bloodshed. They are already trying to outlaw the Communist Party, before the election.
