The Situation in the Ukraine. #14

I think Maidan is testing the waters. If Maidan attacks Transnistria and Russia offers no response, then Maidan would attack Donbas.

So they are basically playing Russian Roulette.

Hmmm. Two front war, surging east from Transnistria and west from Novorossiya.

Yeah, with shotgun instead of revolver...

Or, Maidan could be warning Russia. If Russia sends troops to help Donbas when Maidan launches attack on Donbas, then Maidan and Moldova would pincer invade Transnistria. This way, Maidan can take Donbas without Russia interfering.

However, methinks Maidan underestimates Russian resolve. The Russian air force based in Sevastopol can blow Maidan out of the water.

What makes you think that Moldova even wants to be part of this mess?
One way or the other Kiev is doomed no matter where they start their collective suicide....

Then they would play with fire (literally) not only with fully geared Russian troops but also with completely losing US/EU support. The Europeans said they are afraid of a regional conflict on the European mainland. Well let's see what their reaction will be when the regime they support, starts a full blown aggression against an innocent country.

Attacking Transnistria; stupid is as stupid does.

Sorry guys but even kiev isnt retarded enough to attack transnistria.

Porky may be full of lies, hypocrisy, double standards and may be useless as a leader but he isnt a buffoon. I dont think he is preparing to become a tie eater mark 2.

The idea of him and his cronies is to cling onto power as long as possible to fleece ukraine for everything they can. He knows eventually his kind will be forced out so he will make the most of the time he has, theres no way he will throw it all away instantly by doing something so stupid.

If glasses bastard was the president though, i dread to think what he would have done. Probably we would see Zakharchenko doing w victory parade on the maidan by now.

It's not like those Ukrainians with non-Ukrainian passports aren't pissed by Kiev's crackdown on smuggling to welcome UAF with open arms.

Meanwhile it is going to be used to scare investors by putting Russia one step above Ukraine in an attempt to raise the cost for Moscow.

All this Moody and other so called "rating agencies" is doing Negative Press on Russia
for the only purpose than to create doubts and confusion on investors on Russia economy.
so is effectively information war..

It's not a secret that the Odessa-Tiraspol businessmen caste is not fond of Maidan and that has attracted Kiev's attention so the use of force to eliminate competition is not that out of the picture although very unlikely.

Perhaps Porky just wants to force Russia to violate Ukrainian air space?

It's a long list. And all are equally guilty.

I truthfully agree, there is no way that Porky's Western handlers would want to give Russia a legitimate reason to burn down the entire country. Besides, there is no knowing how Moldova would react as they themselves are very torn between Russia and the EU mostly represented by Romania there. After Debaltsevo, I would have trouble believing that Poroshenko isn't rightfully afraid of the rebels and he would know that the Russian Military is a whole different animal.

More like the entire Russian Military.

Two shots, if the first try goes south, then the entire Russian military will unleash its full potential on those poor bastards. Or if Ukraine somehow gets a second shot, then a "hurricane" from the East will rain fire and blow the rebels to the Golden Gate of Kiev if not further.

Thats more more plausable. Porky may try to enforce a blockade of transistria, and when russia flies into ukrainian airspace, he can play the 'russian aggression' card and shoot it down. That would force russia to escalate and with it bring more western money and support to kiev, with more sanctions against russia.

It still seems a tad far fetched though and extremely risky for porky but its much more plausable than kiev carrying out an unprovoked attack on transistria. In this situation ukraine can play the victim card whilst shooting down a russian aircraft.


Ps, when i say its far fetched, a lot of stuff has occured over the past year that i wouldnt have predicted in a million years, so i guess i shouldnt close my mind to anything in this war.

The plot thickens...

Head guards said the military threat from Transnistria

28 MAY 201522:33

State Border Service said the military threat from the unrecognized Transnistrian Moldovan Republic.

In an interview with "Channel 5" said the chairman of the State Border Service Viktor Nazarenko.

"The threat from Transnistria is both military and, say, technology-border ... We believe that this area is threatening about border security," - he said.

This Nazarenko emphasized that the military threat in this part of the frontier is much smaller than the eastern frontier.

Much more significant is the problem for border smuggling from Transnistria food and illegal activities of local residents.
Also difficult in terms of border security at the north and south areas of the border. Continue reading.
