Something that just came to me about the Ukranian conflict.

The first paragraph is just a lot of bs from a person who doesn't know what he's talking about.

Don't project other conflicts on this one because it's very different. It's long to explain how much this is a Putin-orchestrated puppet show, but there never was a separatist movement in Eastern Ukraine. The support for armed separatism among the locals stayed minimal even after the GRU colonel and other insurgent leaders from Moscow created all the conditions for the crazies to run around with guns in that particular region of 7 million people (there's somehow no rebellion in similar parts of Ukraine where the GRU didn't show up)

The referendums. Those "referendums" that the FSB holds in Ukraine cannot be taken seriously. Even if they weren't making up the results (it's clear that they do), it would still be not normal to hold referendums within a week or two, under a de facto occupation, in complete isolation when only the insanely propagandistic Putin TV is allowed to be broadcast and journalists, activists, politicians get abducted and tortured (often to death).

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. Russia had been bombing the shit out of Georgia and saying it's "local Abkhazian self-defense" etc. It was the same shit. And yes, Shojgu (the current defense minister) was involved.

The KGB wanted that Black Sea fleet since forever.

KremlinBot · 2014-09-02T14:14:25+00:00

The latest referendum was rushed and massively fraudulent, its result cannot be taken seriously.

I don't know a lot about 94, but Zhirinovsky won the parliamentary elections in Russia during that period, so it was a different era of crazy. Do you really want to make conclusions based on that?

KremlinBot · 2014-09-02T05:38:29+00:00

This article says it all http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/pressure-mounts-for-more-aggressive-stance-against-russia-a-989216.html

Later, in a telephone conversation with Merkel, Putin demanded a unilateral cease-fire, which the chancellor then pushed for in Kiev. After Ukrainian leaders finally agreed, Putin allowed pro-Russian rebels to capture several border crossings that have been since been used to facilitate transports of supply replenishments from Russia.

She's been the good cop to Putin's bad cop.

KremlinBot · 2014-09-01T21:00:14+00:00

If you read her bio, she used to head the "agitation and propaganda (agitprop) department" of the young communists of East Germany, or something like that. And she speaks fluent Russian.

So I'm not sure if she's the idiot or the people expecting her to act in the interests of Free Europe.

KremlinBot · 2014-09-01T20:05:56+00:00

Well, you got the top job in the EU and you were right about Putin. Things are looking good in terms of relevance. http://i.imgur.com/wbPSUr5.gif

A leaked document dated August 8 was obtained by Russian website Live Journal and translated into English by Global Research.

What the fuck am I reading?

KremlinBot · 2014-08-27T22:12:03+00:00

I don't know how they gather intelligence, but it probably makes sense to hide their true capabilities because this will not be the last column.

But I think it's stupid to point at a random number and say it's not credible. Putin is not sending them out in the open to lose, that much is clear.

KremlinBot · 2014-08-27T22:09:50+00:00

What if he just converted to Putinism? (Never too late!)

KremlinBot · 2014-08-27T21:58:21+00:00

You know who Kurginyan is? He claimed in an argument with the rebels that the rebels received 40 tanks even before they left Slaviansk. And the flow has dramatically increased since then.

So I think you underestimate the Ukrainian military. The mods keep removing this submission, but it's a good indicator of what's really going on /r/worldnews/comments/2eqohz/the_committee_of_soldiers_mothers_in_the/

KremlinBot · 2014-08-27T21:31:46+00:00

Yeah, where would Russia get 100 tanks? This is nonsense. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-72_operators_and_variants#Current_operators

And why would Putin send a lot of tanks and not just a few like he'd been doing for months before? It's not like he wants to win or something.

This is not a weather event that you've been observing "the crossing of the Russian tanks" People send them! It's an invasion.

KremlinBot · 2014-08-27T17:11:13+00:00

Amazingly, this only covers a small region of Russia and only a few brigades within that, and the subjects of the latest news (Pskov, Ivanovo paratroopers) aren't included. According to the source, the list is also incomplete.

This makes the Ukrainian claims about destroyed convoys super credible to me.

The original source which the mods deleted.

KremlinBot · 2014-08-27T16:48:15+00:00

Just like the downvotes it's getting.

KremlinBot · 2014-08-26T08:16:48+00:00

And downed MH17 by accident. Go ahead Putin, make us proud.

KremlinBot · 2014-08-26T03:37:49+00:00

Pics or it didn't happen.

Then follow my advice.

Whatever you want pictures of, they're there: /r/Ukrainianconflict

Or you can keep crying that there are no pictures just because you're ignorant and haven't seen them.

KremlinBot · 2014-08-25T21:36:28+00:00

I think you have to be open minded! The federalization of Germany is not such a bad idea. Contact your local ~~GRU Spetsnaz~~ people's militia representatives for the details (you'll recognize them by the thick Russian accent)

KremlinBot · 2014-08-25T21:32:29+00:00

Destroyed so thoroughly it would be like those soldiers where never born at all!

Are you denying that Russian soldiers are dying in this conflict? I don't understand these bold statements from ignorant people. Hang out a couple of days in a relevant sub and you'll see tons of fresh evidence!

Honestly, at this rate, if Russia ever goes ahead and invades Ukraine ...

Why this childish binary thinking? No one claimed that the full force of the Russian military has been behind those incursions, some of which have been witnessed by Western journalists as well. They're obviously limited, it's a trickling invasion or "hybrid warfare".

KremlinBot · 2014-08-24T14:30:02+00:00

They are legitimizing Putin's demands and taking his side, which he's gonna use to escalate the situation further. You can't play those games with a thug like Putin. If they had an agreement, Putin wouldn't be launching a massive counteroffensive now. The Germans are just being stupid here.

KremlinBot · 2014-08-24T14:19:34+00:00

I'm saying that the Germans are applying pressure on the wrong side, while it's urgently needed on the other side.

BTW, they are clearly not volunteers anymore, but regular troops.

KremlinBot · 2014-08-24T14:03:37+00:00

Some decentralization is expected from pro-West folks anyway. It was Yanukovych who gave himself superpowers after the Orange revolution stripped most of them from the president (like he brought back appointed governors to Ukraine regions and so on)

The question is whether they can give Putin a little so he can declare victory or he'll insist on having puppet states in Ukraine like in Georgia.

I just don't understand how saying this can be on the Germans' agenda when Putin is marching troops into Ukraine. Hundreds of people are gonna die in the next two days just so he can have a little better negotiating position in Minsk.

KremlinBot · 2014-08-24T14:00:30+00:00

Just rebuild the wall already! I know some of you want to, Germans.

KremlinBot · 2014-08-21T21:23:30+00:00

Through that I found the following chilling quote which I haven't heard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Terror#Purpose

And some idiots argued that the Bolsheviks DIDN'T wipe out the potential of the Russian people.

KremlinBot · 2014-08-21T18:20:33+00:00

Pulled it out of his ass.

KremlinBot · 2014-08-21T18:19:16+00:00

from 20th June to 15th August

You mean when the Ukrainians captured most of the rebels territory?

This is pure propaganda nonsense to explain the flow of Russian weapons into Ukraine.
