Poroshenko will look and see that if he does nothing then he has lost Donbass 100%, that is why he was going to attack last August/September before Merkel stopped him. If what happens now is another slow build up, then what can Merkel say that was not said before? I suspect not much more. I said before that in the final analysis it is up to Poroshenko, not Merkel or Washington, as despite their influence Poroshenko is not actually their slave. I think also too much weight is given to the diplomatic/political analysis as that depends on rationality, and we already saw from the very beginning that Kiev is not rational, and when it comes to the oligarchs business concerns and their ability to extract $, nothing else matters. These scum are rats that will fight to get out of a trap and will not give a frack about signatures on scraps of paper or what is told them by a puritan hausfrau or the clown masquerading as president in Washington. Wars happen because either a man like Hitler gets his hands on the levers of power in a country, or politics and diplomacy fail. Poroshenko is not Hitler, not even the ghost of a faded shadow of Hitler, so that leaves the politics and diplomacy, which are not working for Poroshenko, so I think we look at strong possibility of the Clausewitz solution.
Relax. El Porko will do what his masters tell him. These clowns are rational enough to obey orders.
The problem is that his masters have not given a damn, and have not been telling him off for much of anything. Only recently did Merkel deliver the message, but not seriously enough. What's needed is just to make sure that the message is delivered at regularly intervals and strongly enough, otherwise Porko and co. will start forgetting about it.

Very large. Surprised that it came out of the Defence Ministry in Kiev. If it did someone there was not on message and just got fired! Not seen it anywhere else but Fortrus.Cowboy's daughter wrote:Ispan wrote:

KIEV, November 3. /TASS/. Unknown gunmen opened fire at the building of the Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office on Monday night, Yelena Gitlyanskaya, the official spokesperson for the Security Service of Ukraine said.
"About 10 p.m. on November 2, the private office of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin came under fire," she wrote at her account in Facebook. "The incident occurred at the moment the Prosecutor General was holding a conference with his staff." "The Security Service of Ukraine urgently dispatched a group of operatives and investigators to the site," Gitlyanskaya indicated.

Guaranteed there is a Russian map (official) with the Crimean borders and you can point it out to him on the map. If he denies, ask for his map.
Looking forward to hearing how Kiev is, word on the street is that people are getting more and more fed up as the ATO has largely grinded to a halt, people still waiting for the promises of wealth for almost two years now, and winter is about to descend upon them. Overall, the situation is very relatable to a pressure cooker left unattended.auslander wrote:JohninMK wrote:Our private news feed from Crimea must still be on his hols in the US.franco wrote:All quiet from our Donbas posters but apparently heavy fighting around the airport and north of Donetsk plus reports that the SBU have arrested Yarosh and raided Right Sector HQ.
Dis ain't no holiday. Lard ass in Mockba won't let me get what I need, said I had to go to Kiev since our quiet little valley is still part of 404. Apparently no one bothered to show da putz the photos of the white/blue/red with the Imperial Eagle flying over this quiet little town and the peninsula for 18 months. Got what I needed, I'll elucidate when I return home, which will be next week.
Local situation up north, I've had not much contact whilst in Injun Country. I do know our boy is serving and doing rather well, plus the oldest girl we took under our wing late this past winter has forgone her intended education, completed her basic training and has now completed her field medic training. She will visit us next week and then report for duty.
I will write next week and post what I have seen and what I have learned whilst behind enemy lines. It is not going to be pretty.

I'm having a lot of trouble posting regularly, but I am still monitoring the development over in 404 and this thread.

Geez. This would make it the most intensive war since ww2... probably since ww1 as the number of soldiers involved on both sides was quite modest - 40-50k on Novorussian side and 60k on Ukro side.
But I am going to believe you - since doctors working in Ukrainian hospital all say the official casualty numbers are BS.
So why would they arrest him?Khepesh wrote:Pavel Gubarev arrested in St Petersburg by FSB at a bookshop during an autograph session for his book. I don't have a link
