On a visit to the Ukrainian capital of Kiev, US Gen. Philip Breedlove, the Supreme Allied Commander for NATO, warned that Russia has the capability of invading Ukraine at some point in the future if they choose to do so.
While Ukraine often claims Russia has already invaded, Gen. Breedlove would only say that the Russian troops deployed in westernmost Russia meant they could theoretically invade.
Breedlove also claimed the Crimean Peninsula, the long-time home of the Russian Navy, which was annexed into the Russian Federation earlier this year, could also be used by Russia to impose control over much of the Black Sea.
He went on to accuse Russia of “training and equipping” eastern Ukrainian rebels in Donetsk and Luhansk, saying the US remains concerned about Russia’s role in the civil war.
Just because Russia is capable of invading Ukraine doesn't mean Russia has intentions of doing so. If Russia truly intended to do this, it would have done so much earlier; say, the moment the Kiev military invaded the newly independent Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk.
However, to this day, Russia has not invaded, since it had no intentions whatsoever to do so. President Vladimir Putin has bent backwards to bring about a solution to this ongoing crisis; however, Porky Poroshenko & Co. (with backing from the USSA/NATO and EU) have so far rejected his peace offers. Therefore, it's the West and its puppet, the Kiev regime, who are at fault here. The West (mostly the USSA) instigated the illegal, violent coup that ousted the democratically elected government of Viktor Yanukovych, not Russia. Yanukovych may have been corrupt, but he was elected twice. Is Porky corrupt? Yes. Is Arseniy Yatsenyuk corrupt? Definitely.
This is a classical expression of the methodology of the ruling class used in the implementation of their nefarious international designs. Here we have a semi-newsworthy event in which the intention is to create the impression that Putin actually plans to invade Ukraine. I mean why showcase a capability of invading Ukraine unless there is a diabolical plan to do so, eh? Honest journalism would go after that obvious set-up with hammer and tongs. But here nothing like that happens. The assertion of capability is made and the conclusion as to purpose is automatically drawn. You're watching a puppet press in action. Everyone agrees in advance that Putin is an aggressor and here is the proof: He has the capability of invading Ukraine, eh? The filth that create and sponsor such "stories" should share the defense table with their stringpullers when peoples' tribunals ultimately demand accountability for this kind of war mongering.
Well like father rattmussen, like son, these people are the elements from the neo fascism political wings growing in Europe like mushrooms, a white supremacy with political positions.
"He went on to accuse Russia of “training and equipping” eastern Ukrainian rebels in Donetsk and Luhansk, saying the US remains concerned about Russia’s role in the civil war."
While the US openly trains and equips islamists in Syria. We can do it but you can't because you're unexceptional. The US has completely redefined hypocrisy. They don't even hide it or care anymore.
By the way, Russia should have invaded Ukraine some time ago or at the very least, the southeast portion.
That Russia is "capable" of invading Ukraine is certainly true, which raises the very interesting question of why Putin hasn't dared to do it. The point of the general's remarks is, I suppose, to make it clear to Uncle Vlad that he will not be allowed to grab more Ukrainian territory or fortify Crimea without precipitating Ukraine into NATO. It seems increasingly clear that if the oligarchs don't remove Putin from power, there will have to be a war.
Get your gun Kenny and ask hitterism in Ukraine to send you a one way ticket to Kiev, make sure they give you a Ukrainian passport wher you can give up your present nationality. It's realy easy to do, just call your source of information in Kiev they provid whatever you need from NATO and IMF office there!
Do you realize Michael that not one of the things you have ever predicted on this website has ever come true?
Peace keeping force — Not an invasion
Because the UN is a dictatorship ruled by Empire USA, the UN peace keeping force that has been terrorizing Haiti for a decade, it is not there to establish peace, but to enforce brutal imperialism.
Whereas, if Russia should be so kind as kick it’s rear end in gear and with but a few thousand troops establish a no-war zone to keep the fascist coup dictatorship where it belongs, then surely peace would reign supreme.
Well, that's insightful there, breedluv, who would have thought…
And what, no word on US advisers to the criminal Ukrainian regime.
Just because Russia is capable doesn't mean it is going too!
America is capable of invading Granada, oh that's right they did, It is capable of invading Afghanistan that's right it did, and Iraq oh that's right it did, we could continue this list back decades all the way to the Hawaiian Islands it annexed and incidents before! Cuba, Phillipines!
America is capable of invading Russia, oh that's right it already HAS, America has been trying to win a war against Russia for close to 100 years, the US started their attacks on Russia an I do mean actual Russian soil just after the First world War started and they have NEVER stopped! Many a Michigan soldier died in Russia in 1921!
Just remember Russia hasn't flown Aircraft over the US Capital, the US has over Moscow, illustrated by the shooting down of a U2, and it was the Placing of Nuclear missiles on the Turkish Border which sparked the Cuban Missile Crisis! Could you imagine what the Hawks of the US Congress would say if Russia did it they would be demanding WAR!
We shouldn't be allowed to forget that it was US funds that kick started this Ukraine matter in the first place they gave money to neo Nazis, in the first place and remember WHY the US invaded Granada in the first place well the stated reason at least…..to protect US nationals on the island! What did the leader of the Ukraine coup and remember this was going on before the sham election, he was going to kill all the Russian speaking sub humans in Eastern Ukraine, Russia has the right to protect its (dual) nationals by force if necessary, America has both claimed that right and used it on numerous occasions!
. . . and the United States is capable of invading Grenada.
And Panama. And Iraq. And Afghanistan.
1) Just because Russia is capable of invading the Ukraine, doesn't mean they will or intend to.
2) Ukraine is not and never has been a member of NATO. So it is not any of the latter's business.
3) It is the USA that is in the invading business. Remember Iraq? The bombing campaign on Serbia? Invading Panama? The list is extensive.
Russia is capable of invading Ukraine? You could have knocked me over with a feather. I never saw that one coming. What's next – they gonna claim that Russia has WMD's? NATO is just full of surprises.
