Valdimir Petrov found evidence of a Russian artillery unit shelling Ukrainian positions from Russian territory, because a soldier from this unit is posting photos on his VKontakte page (the Russian Facebook). Or course immediately after discovering this, his page has been deleted. But the info is still here:
in the day and age of scum Kerry propaganda, and Obama misuse allegedly of nsa etc computer capabilities, this proves nothing...today we learned that ticket stubhub was corrupted...youre a dummy
Only if he is lucky. Otherwise, it is a firing squad.
“this proves nothing...”
Well...it proves a Russian artillery unit is located in a particular place - Russia, near the Ukrainian border.
It proves that they are firing shells (pictures show that they’re opening shell boxes, etc.).
And the maps/coordinated show where those shells are landing - in Ukraine.
Yep, proves almost nothing...except that the Russians are shelling Ukraine.
One loudmouth confirms they are shelling Ukraine. I tell you, some people can’t keep their mouth shut.
Week ago there was also a video from a Russian village near the Ukrainian border of Grad missile system firing (into Ukraine)
I’ve learned there’s no point in digging up a link for a Putinist. If it’s bad news for them, the story is a fake. Always he same.
Artillery is one thing that they do well, since Kursk.
Just say no to Opsec
Putin is no friend, but one has to respect him.
He’s a chess player that lines things up and then goes for the frigging jugular. He thinks strategically, long term and is audacious, willing to take risks... Putin won in Syria, and he won 100% in the Ukraine. Russia has accomplished 100% of her goals in the Ukraine, which is to prevent this nation in her sphere of influence to drift towards the EU or NATO, additionally they gained the Crimea, Putin’s popularity in Russia is high and the cost in blood and money is near zero for them. This isn’t a 25-75 win for them, this is a zero sum game where it is 0 for us and 100 for them. This was an ass spanking for the US and the West, where we are now seeing Western and especially US politicians give speeches and try to sound as if they are relevant. This hand has been played, and we lost our wager, crying faul. He’s getting what he wants regards Iran, Republic of Georgia...
Even internally Putin has managed to accomplish some things that are nearly unprecedented, such as turning around the Russian declining birth rate, which had them aiming towards a demographic collapse. They enacted laws that all but sever their politicians from having foreign assets, he ended Russian babies being adopted by homosexual couples in the US and after there were several cases of these children being abused. The Russian military, as well as their intell services have modernized at astonishing rates. The truth is, Russia has enjoyed a GDP growth of 3.4% over the last years, higher even than the US. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/06/Russian_economy_since_fall_of_Soviet_Union.PNG
He might not be doing things we agree with, but I am sure there might be a reason why he is popular in Russia besides his bad ass image. Putin is a PhD and not an honorary one like Obama who also has the Nobel Peace Prize, LOL. Putin speaks English and German, is a former KGB agent, a hunter, black belt in Judo (these things sound corny and we mock his bear chested pictures, but he did these long before he was President)... Putin has simply out smarted our side, he has bigger balls, and has a strategic vision. We can’t fault him for exploiting our weakness and naivete for his nations advantage.
prove it
when the American president a lying Kenyan african and his black brothers that run justice homeland security etc tell us anything, dummies in the US BELIEVE HIM...hes a lying skunk
Already done. It is the burden of the naysayers to prove otherwise. The facts speak for themselves.
you PROVE IT big mouth
The pictures spoke for themselves. Case closed.
the pictures can be from anywhere...taken by anyone...there is no time stamp...can u imagine a latino passing a law outlawing English...Russian was outlawed as a language....youre still a dummy
It’s a Russian soldier who took the pictures. We even know who his brother is - also a Russian serviceman.
The post is dated. The pictures don’t have to be because the post itself makes clear they were new, not old.
Also, Russian was not outlawed. Instead old laws giving Russian a special place as a language in Ukraine were overturned: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/jul/04/ukrainians-protest-russian-language-law
So, your analogy is stupid - just as you are. It wouldn’t be a Latino outlawing English, idiot. It would be a American outlawing Spanish in America (and that still isn’t what happened anyway).
