WAR trouble brewing again in ukraine

On Monday, Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova denounced Kuleba’s and Zelensky’s comments as a thinly veiled threat of war over Crimea.

“All efforts by Kiev to reclaim Crimea are illegitimate and cannot be interpreted in any other way but a threat of aggression against two Russian [federal] subjects. We reiterate that we will consider participation of any states or organizations in such activities, including the Crimean Platform initiative, as a hostile act against Russia and direct encroachment on its territorial integrity," Zakharova noted.

If Kiev thinks they're taking back Crimea with the help of the "international community", the Russian Foreign Ministry just plainly said, Nyet.

And my guess is they mean it.

Most Ukraine problems can be resolved by cleaning out the trap, and God only knows how many of those they have. We need to call on lower butt crack diplomacy from Plumberstien to mediate this problem before it escalates into a Drano type operation, and we really don't want to get into chemical warfare over there. We have tried before to Root out the problem, but Roto operations from above have thwarted that remedy. Sounds like they are in deep sh*t....

If the Ukraine concentrates it's forces to the east, it leaves open the door to the north. Russian forces could sweep thru Belarus and move south into the Ukraine.

In connection with the increased activity of NATO in the Black Sea area, the Russian Navy is mobilizing an amphibious group of ships of the Baltic Fleet as part of the large landing ships Kaliningrad (102), Minsk (127), Korolev (130) and the Boykiy corvette (532).

The Russian Mediterranean fleet I think will act as a blocking force to prevent the US and NATO from sending ships to the Black Sea if conflict breaks out.

I guess the camp during Trump was the aberration. Or is this level of activity you haven’t seen before?

Pawns are spread far and wide on this chessboard of #Donbass, right from Black Sea to Mediterranean & North Sea.

We have a lot of developments in Russia as the country's Defence Minister, S. Shoigu has given an order to mobilise the Russian Mediterranean, Black Sea, Caspian and Baltic fleets while Russian submarines have also sailed and are heading for the Black Sea. https://warnews247.gr/ektakto-i-rosi

This not looking good at all, the last thing i want to get into, is a war with USSR. Particularly with no leadership within the U.S., back to the 50's and 60's duck, cover and kiss your ass goodbye..

Yes, many are remarking that it has the feel of the cuban missile crisis, and even more are in agreement that this is the wrong time and worst possible leadership under which to meet this crisis.

:: shrug n sigh :: Keep on keepin' on is all we can do for now. This is not a surprise, so roll out yer game face n work yer preplan plans.. and remember always: these messy middle chapters are just the blessings that get us to the end of the book.

Nightwolf wasn't even born during the Cuban Missile Crises and told me from what he had read about, this time period was starting to remind him of that too.

That and 1914...about the time Arch Duke Ferdinan's open car took a wrong turn ..

A combination of the beginnings of both WWI and WWII. Those members that are reading this thread should take these events very seriously.

This looks like it will happen before April...the fuse is ready to be fired up.
Well, to be fair, I started calling it that before this thread/event ever got added to the mix... and we will see how much is fired off by this fuse. So often we are convinced there are too many assets in play to avoid a conflagaration, only to find it fizzle.

This time will not be one of those times, I do not think. Still, hope is free, so I spend part of my pre-plan activation time in prayer. As they say prepare for the worst, pray for the best.
