I can't understand why doesn't Russia decrease oil and gas expotations to EU to counter sanctions ?
What about stopping to give US space engines and put big military bases in latino countries as a respond to sanctions and US ABM in EU ?

For what purpose? Russia needs the money from export business, but not any large bases outside the former Soviet Union.

Why ?
Because Russia isn't a war mongering country fighting 7 wars at the same time *cough*USA*cough*. So keeping within their borders with small bases here and there for support to other countries is the smartest bet. USA has a massive defense budget (500 or more billion a year) yet a small amount of that goes to armament as example. Rest goes to bases abroad and maintenance, which is something Russia doesn't want such a high expenditure. At the same time, having all these bases will just make Russia even more hated.

...linking to mp.net is forbidden?
He quoted rule number 5 to you...
5] Do not advertise other forums (that includes linking to them)
I say we send in tank companies with support of a mechanized companies and steam roll the front all the to Kiev and then America will see if Russian tanks were really there or not
Real Russian troops in the Ukraine officially would be a bad thing... there would be plenty in the Ukraine that oppose Kiev but don't want to swap it for Moscow either.
the facts are that most likely would have been happy with autonomy from Kiev at the start, but now with the shelling and BS they will likely only be happy with independence now.
They don't need Russian soldiers, they need the right weapons to do the job and perhaps a few polite men to show them how to use those weapons effectively and efficiently.
Yeah, don't understand how linking someone's tweet==advertising a discussion forum.
It doesn't... the problem is your sig.
How about changing it by removing the URL?

Because they make money from the sale... and unlike the EU they don't want to undermine their own economy just to be a wanker to another country or group of countries.

They don't benefit from escalating the situation either.
However it is a good wake up call so that when things eventually go back to normal Russia not only will be rather more self sufficient, but will also have developed a wider range of trade partners that don't mix economics with politics. When the food ban ends... assuming it is not extended, hopefully those countries that helped fill the void of EU exports will continue to supply Russia with more diverse products and in the long term this will mainly have hurt Europe more than it has hurt Russia.
Russia doesn't need big foreign bases just now... in 10-20 years when the navy has been rebuilt and the Air Force is fully ready it can look to securing bases all over the place to project reach and influence, but I doubt they will want to use them like the US does... forward bases to invade and interfere in other countries.

Re: The Situation in the Ukraine. #11
Russia does not need to invade Ukraine, not with regular troops it needs to be fought out between the current forces it is nothing else but an asymmetrical warfare and such warfare can only be won by two ways, total annihilation which is lose=lose situation or by secret asymmetrical warfare. Secret asymmetrical warfare is the only means and basis for success in such situations, because regular forces will only raise nationalism and only fuel war and add numbers to ukropy forces. The best way to fight a war is to force your enemy to make the steps you plan for him so he runs into your knife and not the other way around.
At the current situation Ukraine is a failed illegal state without any legal administration, meaning it is land of no true rules and when fighting it like they do right now, with some basis of sympathy towards POW's, how brutal,punishable and simply inhumane ukrops do under zionist rule, they will lay down a path of more and more deserteurs and partisans which will soon outgrow anglo-saxon/zionazi ukrop vassals and the re-integration of ukraine into russia is inevitable by the current development, meaning we already have the right course at least in less global politics sphere.
If we see the situation for geopolitics and long term russia will end up at a cross road either suffer by not adopting to the aggression of anglo-suckson/zionazis or by adopting to it, meaning building few military bases in latin america with ICBM/IRBM and surpassing european ABM, showing USrael that russia will not play by their rules and if necessary attack them right there were it is necessary, otherwise there will be WW3 in european theatre before it actually gets hot (nuclear) mainly tactical nuking.

This is a pathetic attempt by the regime to use the OSCE to undermine the rebel operation.
I don't understand why the negotiating position of the rebels is so soft. They must demand full withdrawal of
regime troops to the borders of their regions (now republics). The justification for this is to move the regime
fully out of range for artillery and MLRS attacks on civilians in the Donbas. Freezing the current front is just
idiotic. We already had this nonsense "ceasefire" agreement back in September, 2014. The regime kept on
shelling.
By signing on to any deal with Kiev, the rebels open themselves to more propaganda coercion that they
are breaking some BS "ceasefire". The NATO propaganda war has no limits so there is no point appeasing
NATO and giving it pretexts.

Russian troops probably are working as them guys
Coordinating rebels and giving them know how. I bet they are paid big times too. I dont buy the story about Russian soldiers being sent there involuntary.

in 10-20 years they won't need to, China's GDP/PPP will be huge, as well as BRICS and others like Indonesia, etc. Those countries will be much stronger to US relatively, so Russia doesn't need to convoy in and hold things down one-handed, they need to just support their allies who will not be weak themselves. Remember the US needs to project across the globe for all these things, while its victims are playing on local turf with defense advantage.GarryB wrote:Russia doesn't need big foreign bases just now... in 10-20 years when the navy has been rebuilt and the Air Force is fully ready it can look to securing bases all over the place to project reach and influence

Re: The Situation in the Ukraine. #11
Russia was getting stronger and then all of a sudden there are conflicts right on her borders... I imagine if China starts to grow in capability too much then the problems with Tibet or Taiwan might suddenly become an issue in the west and things might happen where the west tries to isolate China from everyone else...
I am referring to Russia becoming a global power, not her ability to wage war in any particular place.
they wont need to send in a carrier just to ensure her interests are not interfered with.
so Russia doesn't need to convoy in and hold things down one-handed, they need to just support their allies who will not be weak themselves.

with civilians inside. And yelling "glory to ukraine"
Frontline Update from deputy corps commander of Ministry of Defense of DPR, Eduard Basurin
Last night and today, for the first time in a long time, the situation in Donetsk Republic remained relatively calm.
Units of DPR, in accordance with the Minsk agreements, completely halted military operations along the entire contact line at 00:00 o'clock Kiev time.
At the same time during the night and in the morning mortar and gun fire by separate groups of Ukrainian security forces was observed.
In some cases our soldiers had to return targeted fire to stop these provocations.
In accordance with the order of head of DPR, all DPR units are holding fire and not responding to small provocations of Ukrainian troops.
Despite the regime of silence, the situation near Debaltsevo remains tense. Ceasefire on this front did not begin right away. Blocked Ukrainian troops do not cease attempts to come out from encirclement.
Firing of various intensity of our positions, first of all in Logvinovo, continued until the morning from the city and from Luganskoye.
Around 3 am a large armored group of Ukrainian troops, which pulled last night to the Eastern outskirts of Debaltsevo, tried to enter Chernukhino under the cover of the night, but returned to initial position after encountering our fire.
During yesterdays fighting our recon groups acquired 4 Grad installations and a large amount of ammo near Debaltsevo.
All [artillery] installations and ammo were moved from the city overnight.
Overnight on Donetsk front Ukrainian troops fired 4 times from mortars on Donetsk, 6 times - on Donetsk outskirts, 18 times - on Donetsk airport, as well as on other localities.
On Mariupol front militia units held localized defensive battles, halting attempts of Azov regiment to attack Shirokhino and Kominternovo. As a result of exchange of fire the enemy returned to the initial positions.
We are calling on Kiev to closely follow the agreement to halt fire. On our part, we confirm our strict adherence to the agreement on the entire territory of DPR.
At this time the engineering corps of DPR army are demining infrastructure and residential sector, emptied by the enemy earlier, in order to prevent the killing of civilians, who are returning to their homes. This is not only about unexploded Ukrainian ammunition, which is abundant in great numbers across our settlements, but also - infrastructure objects, mined on purpose, such as substations, boilers, small enterprises and roads.
At this time they carry a clear danger to restoring peaceful life and to lives of our civilians.
Therefore in the nearest time, the main efforts of our troops, which are not participating in blocking the enemy, will be focused there.
Donetsk residents, who had lost their housing as a result of shelling are given temporary housing in Donetsk and other settlements of the Republic.
Losses of Ukrainian security forces, as a result of clashes, over the last 24 hours are: 9 tanks, 12 BMP and BTR, 16 artillery systems, 7 vehicles, 111 people killed. This data includes enemy losses prior to the ceasefire, as well as data obtained by our intelligence from radio interception in Debaltsevo.
Total since resuming of military operations 29 days ago, the enemy lost: 3 airplanes, 1 helicopter, 205 tanks, 182 BMP, BTR, MTLB, 208 field artillery guns, 124 vehicles, 2760 people killed, and 60 POW
DPR losses over the last 24 hours, as a result of clashes: 1 BMP, 6 vehicles, 8 people killed, 28 wounded.
We would also like to report that we learned that the Ukrainian side is preparing provocations towards DPR. A large number of journalists, who are controlled by Kiev authorities, were spotted in some settlements. We think they want to record something that we didn't do. We know they are planning to do this, and we will be prepared.

I don't know if these are rhetorical questions or not, but if any aspect of the putative "geopolitical" status of the world was real, it would have been correct to wonder about the answers to these questions.

Re: The Situation in the Ukraine. #11
Interesting video of Ukrs in trenches. They seem to hit ammo truck, but they don't know if it was separatist or their own. And lucifer and all that crap it's just banter. They are talking about the war like it's RPG game. They seem to have quite decent equipment there and supplies. What's weird that there are few young people amongst them and most youngsters are in those nat battalions.
Seriously soldiers in battle speak even worse. There are videos of nat guard members with nazi salutes and slogans and it's not even joke. I bet crimes against civilians apart shelling are mostly done by nat guard. Cause if You listen what Praviy sektor thugs say it sounds they are making lebensraum, while ua grunt thinks they are "saving" people.

It goes MUCH further than that... its a wake-up call to the entire Russian ruling class about the true US intentions towards them, and the utter cowardly fecklessness of the EU elites....
Since 1991, Russia has had two competing political camps, the Atlantic Integrationists (who wanted close relations with US/Europe with the hopes of being a member of the Western Club) and the Eurasian Sovereignists who wanted Russia to stay aloof and guard her independence and freedom to act as benefits her.
Western governments had extensively cultivated the former with endless NGOs and bucketfuls of money through sneaky back-channels, and foolishly, many Russians were taken in by the crocodile smiles and honeyed words of the 5th columnists and their Western handlers/promoters, and actually believed that the West was sincere. In reality, these efforts were simply a lower-intensity continuation of the Cold War by other means, with the intended end-result being the emasculation of the Russian state and forcing its subservience to the will of Imperial Washington.
The Ukraine imbroglio will result in some very significant blow-back - it will deal a death blow to the Atlantic Integrationist camp. Any Russian politician who dares to be a turncoat and carries water for US and its Eurotrash vassals will be trashed by an angry public who will quite rightly blame any hardships on the deliberate machinations of Russia's foreign enemies.

The Ukrainian generals and high officers became rich thanks to the war.. according to Russian State Duma Deputy Chair Sergey Zheleznyak. Kiev military receive millions dollars not for equipment but for bribing military staff keeping the war going forever.. The American "Exceptional" terrrosit congress and white house for sure is paying big money to promote the war.. and keep helping financially kiev for the war to continue.. FUll scale economic warfare is what is happening against Russia. Im sure that a tactical nuclear warhead dropped in the white house and another in the US congress will teach the american elite the lesson they need to learn for messing with RUssia..and will stop the conflict for sure in Ukraine for real.. .
