Dear SMM Colleagues,
The United States believes the unprovoked Russian military buildup along and near the Ukrainian border presents a serious danger to Ukraine and all US citizens employed by the SMM.
Therefore, the US Government has instructed PAE to begin steps to immediately withdraw all US citizen SMM personnel in Ukraine under the PAE REACT contract. Additionally, as it is not clear where something may occur, this applies to all US Mission Members regardless of where you are currently deployed.
Our goal is to have everyone out of Ukraine by Tuesday 15 Feb. In terms of awareness at the OSCE, the Secretary General and the SMM Leadership have been advised of this decision which should be flowing through the Mission’s leadership structure to allow for all of you depart.
Additionally, for those of you in the NGCA, OSCE assets (vehicles) will be made available for you make your way to the GCA. This withdrawal will take immediate effect. Note that this decision will not be announced publicly.
Man they aren’t wagging the dog, they are shaking the sh!t out of it!
Rumor has it the invasion date is 16th Feb.
Huh ? It says this decision will not be announced publicly.
.
Just after Valentine’s Day.
Why can’t they just settle it with a box of chocolate and flowers?
Apparently it was leaked...
Wonder how many Americans will be left behind this time?
What a bunch of crap. This is all Kabuki Theater meant to make Joe look like the “hero” when nothing happens.
I try to follow the ceasefire violations the OSCE monitors. They are mostly from the Ukraine side aimed at Donetsk. There is a reporting lag which is frustrating to me.
I would suppose removing those who are monitoring the doings at the LOC would assist a party wishing to engage in a False Flag.
A lot of 80s songs come to mind.
The one for me is “The Walls Came Down”, by The Call:
I don’t think there are any Russians
And there ain’t no Yanks
Just corporate criminals
Playing with tanks
It won’t be.
Well I thought it would be interesting to see what Ukraine’s press is feeding their people.
It’s Kyvi’s news......just thought it would be good to see what their news is putting out there.
Kyvi’s raking in a whole lot of revenue as long as they can keep this threat of war going.....just bought back bonds....opening various front Funding organizations.....it’s following the same pattern it does every time they need revenue...and every crook will get a piece of that pie.
I watched it in 2014.....same pattern.
The OSCE has a lousy reputation in Ukraine....they aren’t what they profess themselves to be.
