“I am skeptical that Putin is sending tanks into the Ukraine to provide the Ukrainian military with target practice. My own $0.05 is that units of the Ukrainian military engaged other units of the Ukrainian military.”

Quite possible, or the unready to be ethnically cleansed have captured even more EUkrainian vehicles. The Nazis found their Ukrainian clients to be a waste of kit in any real fighting. Not much has changed for their EUrocrat successors it would appear.

They could just as easily have been put on a barge and floated there. Remember, this is already a smuggler’s haven area. I prefer to not jump to conclusions, especially given the veracity of so many Kiev claims.

Unless you really do think the airstrike in central Donetsk was just an Air Conditioner that blew up.

Serbs will move on Kosovo? Basque separatists? China takes a bunch of little islands and Taiwan? Russia takes the Aleutians? Why not?

It's a "smuggler's haven area" because the Russians are sending the smugglers. As for this "barge" nonsense, how does one sail a barge with tanks on it from Crimea, which has a Red Naval base, and land it anywhere else but Russian territory and then drive it into Ukraine? Maybe it was a rocket ship that landed in the UK and then was shipped via airline?

“The media is reporting that they are T-72s, by the way.”

The “media” is largely proven to know very little about arms.

Wouldn’t a T-72 have a large flash suppressor?

For just a split second, I thought the headline read: “U.S. sending tanks into Mexico.”

The big blue thingy in the center is called “The Sea of Azov”.

Obama will have to go Congress to get funding for replenishing the supply of hashtags.

That would mean that 3 tanks landed in Ukrainian controlled territory on a "barge", past Ukrainian military positions, civilians with hand held cell phones, even past Donetsk, and into Slovyansk, traveling half the length of Ukraine, without anybody noticing, with the Ukrainians and everybody lying about them crossing the Russian border and traveling 40KM instead.

The Pro-Muscovites are a pack of idiots.

Tanks on a barge has a ring to it. Kinda’ like snakes on a plane.

Is the US in a position to stop over-reach by countries anywhere in the world at this point? And at the same time, the administration is deliberately allowing the US to be over-run by "children" from Central America.

It's astounding how quickly everything is deteriorating.

Mullah Baraq is feeling pressure to speed up the collapse before 2016. Otherwise he’ll be forced to dream up a reason to declare martial law, which could get messy. As in bloody.
