If Kiev knows all this about how and where Russian military forces are, why is there still no decent video proof, and why is Kiev still shelling mainly civilian homes and buildings instead of this alleged Russian force?
Yes, but that was referring to last summer before the arrival of what is no doubt a large US SIGINT team in Kiev, with access to what are probably the best intelligence gathering assets in existence.

Well after all Kyiv chief of staff admitted that 90% of Ukie intelligence information are bullshit.
Which explains many things.

Given that knowledge and still building up their forces in the East, one has to have a deep feeling of concern about the next step. Has Kiev intentionally created a 'sacrificial' army, created in the certain knowledge that it will be slaughtered, designed to be the offering that generates a flow of money into Ukraine that can then be syphoned off for the greater good of the banksters, oligarchs and people on the inside, leaving a destitute Ukraine that can be bought for peanuts? All that is needed is a trigger.

While continuing to play it is the "Russian Army" invading card and there is no Ukrainian opposition to Maiden... only Russian soldiers and a few ethnic Russian Ukrainians that should move back to Russia anyway.

Don't forget 2 things. You have to assume that there are plenty of pro-Moscow moles within the ranks of the VSU and if they have or had access to the information that US team is gathering there, they'd have shared it with their sources by now. Second, Russia has several satellite-tracking posts so they'll probably know what kind of spy satellites could be spying above Donbass and adjust NAF's actions accordingly by "maskirovka" or some other method which you and I are not aware of.

I say that goes for both sides. NATO or for sure the Americans are feeding intel to the Ukrainians while Russia is feeding intel to the NAF. To quote myself earlier "Both sides have a fairly good grasp on what the other side have. The NAF releasing planned invasion routes and units to be involved was their way of telling the UAF they were on to them. This is the UAF telling the NAF "Yeah!, but we know where you live too!" Old fashion psyops!"

Seems so, and said to be an electrical fault. I said in a post this morning that there was a possible flashpoint in Odessa today. Happened, but not the location I thought.franco wrote:

I guess those forecaster clowns must have read the news. They were predicting a 2% GDP drop but then Ukraine's GDP
crashed by 17.6% as of the first quarter. But these clowns are actually predicting that Ukraine's GDP will expand by over
2.6% in the last three quarters of 2015. In the real world the 2nd quarter is likely to be a net contraction on and any
recovery will be in the second half.
As noted by another poster the world is in a recession (unlike in 2008 China is contributing to pulling it down) so why would
there be any rebound in Ukraine at all? So a more realistic forecast is for Ukraine's GDP to shrink by over 20% in 2015.

You're the only clown here, I keep trying to explain it to you, more for the benefit others than you I guess - what these figures actually mean and how to read them.
The economy in the first quarter was down 17.6% compared to the same period last year.
In the 2nd quarter it was something like 14.7%. So what, according to your logic the Ukrainian economy actually grew by 2.9% in the 2nd quarter?
No, it's just that in the 2nd quarter the Ukrainian economy was only 14.7% smaller than during the 2nd quarter of 2014 (last year); meaning that it didn't decline as fast in the 2nd quarter this year as in the 1st quarter this year; hence why the economy is as of latest figures only 14.7% smaller than it was during this period last year, as opposed to 17.6%.
So yes, it's very plausible that the Ukrainian economy will *only* decline by 15% this year, or less.
Oh, and don't bother accusing me of being a Western propagandist or NATO spy or whatever this time 'round. Really don't have the time for it.

And the people of Kursk, Belgorod, Rostov, Krasnodar, Kharkov, Donetsk, Odessa, Kiev, Minsk and countless other occupied cities should not have expected liberation by Red Army as they did not rise up against the nazis......

Economies all around the world are contracting, to get a real comparison you have to look at GDP (PPP) not nominal GDP which people like S&P default to using.
Here is their per capita GDP (PPP) http://www.tradingeconomics.com/ukraine/gdp-per-capita-ppp
It's less than half of what Russians, Belarusians, Polish earn. Ukraine was not doing very well by European standards, even before the junta took over the government. The economy is always being milked by the oligarchs, which holds back economic growth for the whole country. If you don't have the money to invest in plant and production because some oligarch is moving it offshore, then how can you grow?
Odessa is a Russian city that has suffered de facto occupation due to the assholes Gorbachev and Yeltsin and should be liberated no matter the actions or inactions of the population. That the citizens of Odessa, after having suffered a massacre and intense pressure from SBU, have not risen is not an excuse to insult them and to let them remain occupied. Again, did the cities of the Soviet Union occupied by the nazis not deserve liberation because they did not rise? Should the western border of Russia be on a line from Saint Petersburg, Voronezh, Volgograd because the cities west of that line did not rise?Neutrality wrote:Khepesh wrote:A pity you were not pissing on Odessa when the Trades Union building was blazing as it may have helped put out the flames, but now you piss on their corpses instead.flamming_python wrote:

Which is exactly why it's a shame on them. So many lives perished just so that modern Odessitans could lay down and bend over to the neo-Nazi regime today. It's them "shitting on the corpses" of their grandparents, not us.

There was no leadership and they cannot be blamed for that. To create an uprising, a pre-existing structure under a strong leader needs to be in place, or able to move to were needed. There was only one Strelkov with a pre-existing structure around him, yet he, or somebody like him, was needed in Odessa, Kharkov and Mariupol. People simply will not rise without a leader, of if they do it is as a temporary mob that is easily dealt with. Any rising needs some planning, yet there was no warning of what was to come, and then it was too late and potential leaders arrested or fled before the inevitable. The fact that many people thought Russia would directly intervene is also a very important factor, and who will take risks if they think there is no need.Neutrality wrote:
The situation today is entirely different. These cities were captured by a foreign country through military means. War broke out. Today the scenario is different and they could have risen up EASILY against an internal enemy. Ever heard about the will of a single man? Well here the will of many men would have been sufficient, especially after the Trade Union massacre. That moment should have sparked patriotic feelings within every person who considers himself a Russian but they didn't. I'm not insulting the history or the Odessitants here. I'm criticizing their laziness.
