At the same time that Russia is condicting its latest massive military drill on the border with Ukraine, and one day after the latest stark warning by Ukraine' president Poroshenko that the simmering conflict with Russia may be set to explode again when he said on national TV that “the probability of escalation and conflict remains very significant" adding that "we don’t rule out full-scale Russian invasion", Russian president Putin made a not so subtle point that Crimea will not be relinquished when he flew into contested territory on Friday, one day after staging war games there, and said he hoped Ukraine would see "common sense" when it came to resolving a diplomatic crisis over the peninsula. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-08-19/putin-flies-crimea-ukraine-prepares-invasion |

Ukrainians are relentless in provoking Russia and then craping their pants from self-provoked fear... While Putin said today that Russia will not support Ukrainuan efforts to break ties, including diplomatic ones.. Edited by Siberian, Aug 19 2016, 08:13 PM.

A full scale Russian invasion is not necessary...When Ukraine learns it is not going to receive large amounts of economic foreign aid from the West, they will beg to become part of Russia..........

Lol, the female voice durning the drills says in Russian - “NATO soldiers! You are cheated! You are fighting not in your territory. By your invasion you broke the peaceful life of citizens of other country. You are not peacekeepers! Lay down your arms!" https://youtu.be/JphnG3gTjxo Edited by Siberian, Aug 22 2016, 11:59 AM.

Putin has strengthened Russia's eastern flank with Iran and its southern border with Turkey. The Black Sea has been a strategic focus of Russian policy for centuries. Crimea and Ukraine are strategically vulnerable to Russian desires while very difficult for the West to support. Eastward espansion of NATO following the collapse of the USSR was hasty and perhaps unwise. |
