    Satellite photos reveal Russian forces on Ukraine border.....

    A build-up of Russian, troops, tanks and equipment on its border with Ukraine is increasing fears of invasion as fighting flares in the east of the country.


    Ukrainian media is reporting fresh commercially-available satellite photos reveal several heavy IL-76 cargo aircraft flying into the Dzhankoi air base in occupied Crimea.


    The peninsula, part of Ukraine, was seized by Russian special forces in 2014. Moscow-backed insurgents have been fighting Kiev government forces in the east of the country ever since — often with blatant Russian military backing.


    But since Moscow moved to close the sea of Azov to Ukrainian shipping a week ago, Kiev has been on heightened alert for an outright invasion — declaring martial law in its troubled border regions......snip~

    Its being reported that the Ukrainians have used Mortars on Eastern Ukraine. This is starting to come to a boil. Why isn't the US Media reporting on this? Oh that's Right to caught up in TDS.


    Trump hasn't said a whole hell of a lot either. Nor Mattis. Nor Pompeo.


    The EU is in disarray and I haven't seen anything from NATO today. What say ye?

    He's been calling the West's bluff. If they roll in to Western Ukraine, Poland is gonna freak, probably CZ , too. NATO would have to respond. So, that won't happen. Anybody remember Risk?

    Why would NATO have to respond? Ukraine is not a member of NATO.

    No, you do.

    Why would NATO be forced to respond because Russia moves on a non NATO nation? It’s not a NATO issue. Now, if Ukraine had been brought into NATO, the situation changes.

    This buildup isn't all that new. I expect NATO will send some more troops to the Batic states and to Poland. That is about it.

    Right. If the Ukraine was a member of NATO, things would be different. Russia would probably act differently as well.

    Russia will invade the second NATO admits Ukraine. It is an existential threat in their mind.
