Hardly a day goes by when some NATO official isn’t hyping a Russian military build-up along the Ukrainian border. Today, the honors go to Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who termed the build-up “alarming” in light of Russia’s dispatch of humanitarian aid into eastern Ukraine.
Russia sent humanitarian aid into eastern Ukraine today, complaining that Ukraine had kept them stuck in customs for too long. The Ukrainian government termed the shipments of food and medicine a “direct invasion.”
NATO seems to be backing that position, with Rasmussen insisting Russia’s shipment’s are a “blatant breach of Russia’s international commitments,” and Ukrainian sovereignty. He also claimed shipping aid was ‘escalating” the situation.
NATO has been backing the Ukrainian war against eastern rebels loudly from the beginning, and treating every Russian call for a ceasefire as “interference.” They have been building up military forces across Eastern Europe, nominally to defend them from a Russian invasion, though the invasion has been predicted by Rasmussen et al. for months, and never actually happened.
Warnings of this kind serve to warn Putin off. And they have succeeded so far. No Soviet leader ever did anything as stupid as Putin has done!
You might want to refresh your talking points.
> Soviet leader
Not able to shake off the old reflexes?
Don't read much or know much about history I see. Hardly surprising.
There are exactly two stupid things Putin has done. Number 1 was not invading and reincorporating the southeastern Ukraine back into Russia where it belongs. Number 2 was assuming the West and especially Washington had anybody that wasn't completely corrupt or insane.
Another brain dead.
Ah, what the West won't do to stop the BRICs from expanding and abandoning the dollar as international currency of trade! They are willing to start WWIII even !
So USA can bomb or invade and occupy or harass ANY country in the world they want to but Russia cannot place its military where they want to WITHIN their own borders.
So USA can go and arm militants in Syria but Russia cannot do the same thing in Iraq.
it's NOT Russia but USA who attacked Iraq in 1990.
It's NOT Russia but USA who bombed Iraq during the 1990s.
Its' NOT Russia but USA who lied Iraq had imaginary "weapons of mass distraction" during 2001-2003.
It's NOT Russia but USA who attacked and occupied Iraq in 20013.
It's NOT Russia but USA who attacked and occupied Afghanistan in 2001
It's NOT Russia but USA who has attacked and bombed Pakistan, Yemen, Syria, Lybia, Sudan, etc, etc,
Indeed, Facts are stupid things like Ronnie said.

Let's leave for now the lies USA used to start the Vietnam war, the Korean war, WWII, war againts SPain and so on.
I think I'm dealing with rational people and not paid shills but I could be wrong.
How dare Putin send in food and medicine.
The show with humanitarian convoy clearly show who is who. The convoy has been checked concerning the arms. Psychopaths in Kiev and Pentagon do not care about people they just need the russian ennemy.
Did I miss the part where Ukraine joined NATO?
