At the same time that Russia is condicting its latest massive military drill on the border with Ukraine, and one day after the latest stark warning by Ukraine' president Poroshenko that the simmering conflict with Russia may be set to explode again when he said on national TV that “the probability of escalation and conflict remains very significant" adding that "we don’t rule out full-scale Russian invasion", Russian president Putin made a not so subtle point that Crimea will not be relinquished when he flew into contested territory on Friday, one day after staging war games there, and said he hoped Ukraine would see "common sense" when it came to resolving a diplomatic crisis over the peninsula.
Officially, Putin arrived on a working visit in Crimea, where he held a briefing with members of the Russian Security Council and visited the Tavrida international youth forum, a RIA Novosti correspondent reported Friday. The schedule of Putin's visit to Crimea, at least his fifth in the past two years, also involves meetings with local officials, according to local media reports that broke news of the visit this week.

Russia is going to invade all the way to Odessa after the Olympics are over.
And Obama is going to let them.
"It is clear that we have gathered for a well known reason after the infamous incident, after we thwarted attempts by groups of Ukrainian army saboteurs to break into (our) territory," he said.
"Judging by all accounts, our partners in Kiev have decided to escalate the situation. We are all familiar with this method of escalation. It goes back a long way and has sometimes been used successfully but not always.
"I hope that this won't be a final choice ... and that common sense will prevail," he added.
Apparently, the “pro Russian” Ukrainians don’t want to fight. Putin has to send in the “farmers and miners” from central asia for the glory of Mother Russia. LOL.
Putin hasn’t killed enough Ukrainians yet? 10,000 isn’t enough? Very brave of the Tin Pot Czar to bomb cities with his rocket artillery. Really, could you expect any more from KGB filth like Putin?
The start of Dub Dub 3?
I wish they’d take Kazakhstan instead.
It wasn’t widely reported, but Ukrainian commandos attacked murdered 2 Russian border guards in Crimea about a week ago. Which of course is an act of war.
“condicting”
Interesting word. Made it past the editors.

Arrest me NOW.
The invasion will be a distraction so democrats can subvert the real vote in the US. Machines are already “fixed”. Stand-by.
I doubt Obama will lift a finger to help Ukraine and that’s why Putin is pushing ahead to finish what he started before Trump takes office.
Trump might not go to war over Ukraine but there’s no reason why Trump won’t equip the Ukrainians for war on their own.
Remember what the Obamaniacs did to the Israeli elections? I do. Obama was bold enough to send Washington staffers in to Israel to undermine the vote.

Nonsense. Act of War? Russia has destroyed over 100 miles of the Ukraine-Russia international border with military assaults from the Russian side, invaded Eastern Ukraine with the Russian army and stolen Crimea. But you boot licking Putinists are just fine with those “acts of war”.
The fact of Russian border guards in Crimea is itself an act of war against Ukraine.
But since you approve of this kind of thing I’ll be stopping by your home later this month to occupy and then annex your living room. And if you complain about it then that will be an act of war.
The democrats may have more than just an invasion, they may have full scale war.
I wish they all could be Khazakhstani girls.
>The fact of Russian border guards in Crimea is itself an act of war against Ukraine.
An illegal revolt overthrew the elected Ukrainian government, a government that Crimea overwhelming supported and voted for. Crimea then voted to leave the Ukraine.
So I’ll leave it to you: Which was more illegal? A violent revolt that overthrew the elected representatives of the Ukrainian government or Crimea voting to leave the Ukraine?
>But since you approve of this kind of thing I’ll be stopping by your home later this month to occupy and then annex your living room. And if you complain about it then that will be an act of war.
I wouldn’t advise that. My living room voted that they wanted to stay part of my house hold. I’ll respond with deadly force.
>But you boot licking Putinists are just fine with those “acts of war”.
Are you capable of being civil? If that level of gutter rhetoric is the best you can do then I decline to discuss the issue with you.
