It’s been too hot and humid here for me to keep up on the details of and all what’s been happening, but this new buildup looks like something is about to happen, in a few weeks maybe (end of August? sooner?) — and I can’t think the Russians are not well aware of all the details and possibilities and don’t have a number of plans, for any contingency, and an overall strategy. Ukraine is on the edge and taking on more damage could push them over. This could lead to a major internal problem in Ukraine.
Donbas itself is now a formidable force, even if it’s pulled back from the front now. It wouldn’t take long to mobilize, and who knows what nifty defensive traps are waiting. Donbas or Russia unprepared? I don’t think so!
But ‘expect the unexpected’. Too much chaos in the air.
There is a lot of talk among our media friends about the Ukie’s going to make another attack soon.I think they may be right.A friend of mine living in the junta “occupied” area of South Donetsk posted she was passed on the road by 20 heavy military vehicles heading for the front region.She said people there believe the junta is up to something bad.
To back-up my friends comments I saw this today on Fort Russ:
“DPR Aerial Recon Shows UAF Preparing a Major Push [video]”
Ukrainian security forces have already ceased to be ashamed and hide the obvious. The shelling of settlements in the Donbass, they increase with each passing day. All night they shelled the outskirts of Donetsk. The truce has been finally forgotten about in Kiev.
It is understandable why the Ukrainian authorities were in no hurry take heavy weapons away from the front. Today, our film crew was with militias who flew a drone copter. And it showed several things. Kiev concentrates forces on the border with the Republic of Donetsk. That is to prepare for a massive offensive, which the DPR fears can begin at any moment.
“Bird”, as they affectionately refer to the recon drone for Republican Army, is gradually gaining altitude. Everyone paid close attention. The drone shows that the enemy is at the front and ready to begin fighting.
REN TV publishes unique shots of the excursion, GRU DNI, which was prepared for several days and in secrecy. The drone’s task is to quietly fly over the positions of the Ukrainian military, calculate their location, and check for heavy equipment on the frontline. Today the UAV twice took to the sky, and the results came back quickly.
A bird’s-eye views shows the clearly visible position of the Ukrainian army. It was there, under a heavy tree canopy, that may be hiding Ukrainian equipment. The camera detected a reinforced area of the Ukrainian army, new to the front, and in a way that suggests the maneuvers of recently deployed units.
In the area of the village Novomihaylovka, which is controlled by the UAF, the copter finds an accumulation of heavy guns. Basically it is tanks. And more. As scouts had previously said, the reinforcement of the region did not begin before a few weeks ago. Today – it is an impregnable fortress.
Another flight of UAV completed. Thanks to ‘him’, you could see that the Ukrainian military concentrated heavy equipment in their positions, i.e. the Minsk agreement in fact had not been met by them. Now experts have more details today and will analyze what was possible to withdraw.
Already at the headquarters of the Intelligence officers they parse through the modal drone footage material. No doubt remains – the Ukrainian military in spite of all the agreements at Minsk, is increasing presence of heavy guns on the frontline.
The commander of the second detachment of the Republican Guard Intelligence, is confident that Ukrainian security forces are preparing a breakthrough in Donetsk. It is from these positions that almost daily is shelled the south-western part of the otherwise tranquil city.
“They added a lot of equipment. Armored vehicles were caught which before was not there, reinforcing is now complete. It says that they are preparing for some kind of attack” – said the commander.
This is despite the fact that every day the management of the republic openly reports the violations by Kiev of the Minsk agreements, on withdrawal of equipment, tanks and mortars of the Ukrainian army, as shown by today’s drone footage as they were, and continue to stand at the forefront. Moreover their number is only growing.
KIEV, August 12. /TASS/. Ukrainian military are deploying artillery in Donbas while at the same time observing the Minsk agreements, the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Oleksandr Turchynov, said on Wednesday.
“We are developing active defense in the east, strengthening our armed forces with new weapons and hardware. Active defense envisages efficient reaction to any provocations by the enemy,” he said while examining new pieces of artillery deployed in the troubled Donbas.”
Excellent report. This looks like the orcs will be increasing their provocations, rather than trying another offensive. The numbers of nazi forces being assempbled do not look large enough to go on a regular offensive. But these may only represent recent additions, and not account for previous deployed orcs, which could be substantially more.
The zio-media has again been promoting their propaganda of Novorussians as the aggressors. They do that as propaganda cover whenever the ZPC/NWO’s nazi quislings are given orders to increase their provocations and terrorism against civilians in Novorussia. But will the queens try another offensive like the disastrous ones before. Possible, especially if their provocations fail to provoke a counterattack. The zio-media will simply lie, as zionazis always do, and blame the aggression on Novorussians and “Russian invasion”.
Ireland freed a suspected terrorist rather than extradite him to the United States, where he would have been held in a federal prison that Irish authorities said amounts to “cruel and unusual” punishment.
Ali Charaf Damache, a 50-year-old Irish resident originally from Algiers, is accused of using online chat rooms to recruit American women into a terrorist cell operating in the United States and Europe. He was arrested in 2010 in Dublin on an unrelated charge.
Since then, the High Court of Ireland has refused to grant requests by US prosecutors to have Damache extradited for trial in Philadelphia.
Even a convicted terrorist, the High Court said, should not be subjected to the harsh conditions at the “supermax” facility in Florence, Colorado, with its 24-hour solitary confinement and no family visits, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Such a prison, the Irish court said, “amounts to a breach of the constitutional requirement to protect persons from inhuman and degrading treatment and to respect the dignity of the human being.”
So on May 21, after Demache served three years in Ireland, a judge there set him free.
At supermax, dubbed the “Alcatraz of the Rockies,” food is delivered through a slit in the cell door, family visits are banned, and conversations with others are restricted.
The facility is considered so harsh that defense lawyers have used its reputation to persuade jurors to vote against the death penalty and instead send their clients to supermax, arguing that time there would be worse than capital punishment, the LA Times reported.
Ireland High Court Justice Aileen Donnelly, who freed Demache rather than grant the US extradition request, said there is “compelling evidence” the Colorado prison is inhumane.
“I am satisfied that prolonged exposure to involuntary solitary confinement exacts a significant physiological toll, is damaging to the integrity of the mind and personality, and is damaging to the bodily integrity of the person,” she wrote in her decision.
Damache was indicted in Philadelphia in 2011 on charges of plotting to assassinate a Swedish cartoonist who depicted the Prophet Muhammad as a dog.
One can imagine the sort of “fair trial” the zionazi kangaroo courts pindoland would give him. Pennsylvania is one of the worst states in the USA regarding legal corruption, the so-called “Justice” system there is essentially a zionazi/nazi banana republic. Totally corrupt police state. Interesting, and very laudatory, that this Irish judge stood up to the zionazis/nazis, as Irish regime is generally one the most craven quislings to this freakshow. One can expect the CIA/Mossad/Jewish mafia will scheme something up to extract their revenge on Judge Donnelly.
Obviously something is building here. Anyone have an idea? The headlines get ever more shrill:
Ukraine rebel leader Borodai admits to Russia links
Fancy that, he actually talks to neighbouring Russia. Obviously then he is guilty -we are not sure what of but that doesn’t really matter -other than -pause to gasp- talking to Russia . Kiev never has contact with the USA that is thousands of miles away, of course.
The obligatory MH17 meme is in there for good measure:
“The rebels have been widely accused of downing flight MH17 with a missile”
Just saw a headline at ap: “MH17 probe finds ‘probable’ Russian missile pieces at crash site”. This on an afp article. The zio-media propagandists are again in full blown gay mode.
They never mention that Ukraine has thousands of these Russian “missiles” – certainly an order of magnitude more than the Eastern Ukrainian Federalists.
for example amongst many, the BBC and expert yesterday firmly claiming it was a russian made buk missile , hence as AFU have never used them it can only be AFN or Russia that used it, but RT came back with
extract “Investigators probing the downing of MH17 flight told RT that they cannot confirm that fragments found in eastern Ukraine are from a Buk missile system, refuting media reports that the parts belong to a Russian surface-to-air complex.
On Tuesday, the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) released a statement saying that it is investigating “several parts, possibly originating from a Buk surface-air-missile system.”
Following the release of the report, numerous media reports indicated that it was a “Russian” or “Russian-made” missile system – something JIT spokesman Wim de Bruin rejected to RT, stressing that “it’s too early to draw any conclusion at this moment.”
On Rt tv their expert talked about the various buk control systems ……
So, another “leak’ that discredits the integrity of the investigation?………….all to set up a tribunal to confirm the “guilty “party…………?
The AP story is yet more proof that AP lies amd MSM should not be believed — even read — it’s such trash. Neither should anything a state of the empire says be taken seriously.
The only point of reading any of that is to try to guess what the intent of the lie is. Seems the idiots are not yet ready to let the MH17 lie go away, and to defend against the report that’s supposed to be issued (if it really is and not delayed). The dysinformationalists try to get their shots in first and prime people to swallow the lies (old propaganda technique). Guessing at the intent of a lie can tip us off to what the plans are, like noting a fighter feints to left indicates he will attack from the right.
In this case it’s looking like the report, if issued, will not blame Russia, and they are working on damage control early.
I think you have it right; I have been thinking that the push for a UN tribunal was a desperate attempt to lay off the blame for whatever will be in the October report.
Time for VP to excommunicate Uk?
Ref to roadside bombs -I thought it was AFU doing this, not AFN……especially after article admits “AFU were trying to take back land” with tanks for example-against Minsk- but suffered losses
so it is ok to break Minsk but claim Rus agression and Rus is not fulfilling Minsk in order to justify Uk ‘s actions???
“Britain will step up its training in the Ukraine because the country’s bloody war against Russian-backed rebels is ‘red hot’, the Defence Secretary warned today.
Around 75 British military trainers are currently in the Ukraine as part of the UK’s commitment to helping Kiev defeat ‘Russian-inspired terrorism’ and have already trained more than 1,000 soldiers.
Now Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said he plans to step up the training to double that figure as he warned there was no end in sight to the conflict on Europe’s doorstep.
Speaking on a visit to the region, Mr Fallon said the war was not ‘frozen’ and suggested that Vladimir Putin’s separatists could continue to invade more territory and escalate the conflict.
He also indicated the UK’s commitment to helping the Ukraine in the conflict, which has already claimed nearly 7,000 lives, could carry on for years.
Amid increasing acts of aggression by the Russian President, he said the UK were now planning to teach 2,000 soldiers how to fight this year.
Putin’s supporters are now using deadly roadside bombs to blow up the Ukrainians and UK military specialists who fought the Taliban in Afghanistan will help teach them how to counter the threat.
He said: ‘Why are we doing all this? Because we shouldn’t lose sight of just how serious this situation is.
‘Seven thousand people have already died in the Ukraine, right on the doorstep of Europe, as Ukraine fights for its freedom. This is not a frozen conflict, it’s still red hot.’
He said since the Minsk peace agreements were signed – the second coming in February this year – around 200 Ukrainian soldiers have lost their lives and around 2,000 have been injured.
Even as the Secretary of State landed in the war-torn country, details emerged of one of the deadliest clashes since hundreds lost their lives in February.
As many as seven Ukrainian troops were killed on Monday when soldiers loyal to Kiev attempted to take back land near the small settlement of Belaya Kamenka.
The Ukrainians also lost several tanks and an anti-missile defence system as they struggle to defeat the rebels.
In a meeting with the Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yarsenyuk in Kiev, Mr Fallon added: ‘We are doubling the amount of troops we are going to train this year.
‘We are not going to turn our back on Ukraine.
‘We are standing shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine while its borders are still threatened.
‘For as long as its borders are threatened, we are going to continue to support Ukraine, a friend in need.’
He added the UK would stand by the Ukraine ‘in the face of Russian aggression, Russian-directed insurgency and Russian-inspired terrorism’.
Announcing an expanded training programme in the region, Mr Fallon said: ‘At the end of this year, stepping up the training, we aim to train over 2,000.
‘Seventy-five trainers, 13 different teams, in six locations. We are going to increase the type of training we are offering.’
Britain will continue to carry out the ten-day courses until March next year and whether the UK will continue after that will be decided in the Autumn.
Asked if he saw an end to the conflict, he responded: ‘Not any time soon. Sanctions will remain there as long as the Minsk agreements remain unfulfilled.’
The Daily Mail is one of the worst newspapers regarding Ukraine, VERY biased against the Donbass people, and in favour of the Western Governments’ BS. Comments in favour of the Donbass have often NOT been published – I’m talking from personal experience too.
I read this article on Fort Russ today.They run a series of articles by a women nicknamed “Little Hiroshima”,she brings humanitarian aid to Donbass from Russia.I’d characterize her as an Angel.Its people like her that help the poor and the weak in Donbass to survive.I read all her articles.I don’t want to,because they break my heart every time I see one.But I owe it to her to read through the pain.They make me wish I had money just so I could help her.Of all her articles this one hurt me the most:
UNITED NATIONS, August 12. /TASS/. The UN Secretariat has temporarily suspended consideration of plans on establishing an office in Ukraine for supporting the peaceful settlement of the conflict in the country’s east, the press service has said.
The international organization has decided to give up the idea as it has not secured the solid support of all the parties concerned, UN spokesperson Eri Kaneko told TASS.
In May, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said the office, which is set to contribute to implementation of the Minsk peace agreements, would be opened in the country in the near future.
Over the past months, some UN member-states have called on the Secretariat to take more active steps to support the effort on the peaceful settlement in war-torn Ukraine.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon ordered the Secretariat to continue providing this support based on particular requests of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

“Poroshenko signed a law to increase defense spending in the budget in 2015. Increase spending by 5.3 billion hryvnia, or, in other words, up to 240 million dollars. These funds will be allocated for carrying out “anti-terrorist special operation” in the south-east of the country.
According to data provided by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Ukraine’s defense budget in the current year amounted to about $ 2 billion, and as a percentage of GDP – 2.7%, which is almost two times more than last year. Due to the increasing number of APUs, defense and law enforcement agencies of the country appealed to the government to allocate additional 769 million dollars.” http://www.anna-news.info/node/40585

Not sure if is important…..what implications could be, eg withdraw right of veto if UN censures Russia…for example, but could it work against USA breaking Helsinki agreements if Rus brought in a motion ??
“Britain and France are discussing the initiative of the deprivation of the right to veto UN Security Council members on special occasions. It is “a voluntary renunciation of the use of the veto in cases where immediate action is required to prevent mass crimes.” British diplomats recall how their country to use its veto in 1989, when the draft resolution, demand from the United States to immediately stop the military invasion of Panama.
Then, together with the United Kingdom took advantage of their right and the United States. Now, based on various precedents, Western politicians and diplomats began talking at once about the “crisis of capacity” of the UN as an organization. It is noteworthy that such conversations between prominent political events in Libya almost was not. The topic arose after its principled position under the Charter of the United Nations began to express Russian Federation.
Some Western initiative on Syrian issues, on the events in the former Yugoslavia (the bill on the events in Srebrenica), on the organization of the tribunal in connection with the collapse of the Malaysian Boeing over the territory of Donbass, the Russian side were blocked. From there to the status of Western claims.
At the forefront of “pluralism in the United Nations with the expected results” are the American political satellites – Great Britain and France. Moscow fundamentally opposed any change in the decision-making mechanism, since the status of the Russian Federation to the United Nations – is one of the few foreign policy achievements of the Soviet Union, which is still in use at the successor after the destruction of the Soviet state. http://www.anna-news.info/node/40621

Ukraine has formally ordered Minsk 2 to be set under the tank treads of their army.
A larger, more devastating defeat will have to be applied to Kiev in order to bring them back into the form of Minsk 2.
It looks like, according to Col Cassad and his sources that Gorlovka will be the chief battleground. That is why they have been unmercifully bombarding it for a year. They expect to take it and use it as their launchpad for taking Donetsk.
Expect it to be turned into a Debaltcevo.
Right now, looking at the massing of men and equipment, there are three large boiler opportunities for the militia and Russian generals to exploit.
These would result in the losses of 30-50,000 men.
One would be in Lugansk, the main in Gorlovka region and the third, the southern near Mariupol.
With a few days of maneuvering, each could form quite conclusively.
The alternative will be an artillery exchange of the largest caliber rockets/missiles of kinetic ammo. This is the way the Ukies hope the new offensive will proceed. They have American targeting assistance. We can see how more accurate they have become in recent fusillades. Militia have suffered some significant losses, even of key unit leaders in some villages.
I think the political Rubicon has been crossed by Porky. His total rejection of Minsk 2 will displease Putin. The reckless shelling of Donbass cannot continue indefinitely. And there is no way Porky can be politically influenced. Only a massive defeat will end his run as executioner of innocents.
Under the actual hours of large scale offensive by Ukies (which may come any day now), I believe the Russian response will be to finalize the destruction in toto of the Ukie military. Whatever is along the line of battle will be destroyed. It will be like a shooting gallery.
Europe, the Normany group, OSCE, NATO, the UN will all remain silent as they are now. They have their investment with boots on the ground. There may be 3000 or more advisers and trainers on the ground with the Ukies. They are hoping this time the Russians will enter the fray.
I believe only Russian hardware, not Russian troops, will pour onto the Ukies. According to Cassad, nighttime movement of Voentorg has been significant of late. In terms of a counter-offensive, the main armor and artillery is but an hour away in the rear.
There has been noticeable aircraft used, not just drones. Thus, the Ukies will fly their last air force units in the offensive. I suspect the Russians will clear the skies swiftly if that occurs.
The last payments to Kiev have been arranged by the IMF and US. Death and chaos and tragedy for Donbass have been bought and paid for.
Now, all that is left is the final battles. The militia has cancelled all leaves and men are returning to their units.
If and when the attack comes,the NAF will need to totally destroy the Ukrainian forces and push them out of Donbass.Anything less will be a defeat.And I’m not sure Russia will go along with that.I don’t see that they have yet understood the situation in Ukraine.Over and over I see them looking to “have their cake and eat it too”.That just doesn’t work in ending the war.Wars are won on the battlefield (I know some dispute that,but I don’t).To “win” a war through diplomacy,you must have enemies that see they have no choice,if they want to survive.And I don’t see that realization in Kiev,or among their masters in the US.Which is where the “winning on the battlefield” part comes in.The best case scenario would be a junta defeat that would spur their enemies in the Ukrainian military to oust them.Arrange a ceasefire,and install a government (maybe the recent Azarov group?) to institute Federalization throughout Ukraine.And criminalize and dismantle the fascist regime.The next best scenario would be the junta defeat spurs a total fascist coup.That would polarize all Ukrainians,and split the least fascist inclined in the EU and US to wake-up and drop their support.Leading the way to a general NAF lead liberation of all the former Ukraine,and bringing on the first scenario.But as I said I don’t see the desire in Moscow yet,to “cross the Rubicon” and end this war.We shall see,I hope I’m wrong there.But Russian politics seems to be a sewer only a bit better (if that) than that in the West.The only patriotic elements seem to be in the military and intelligence services (and among the common people).I don’t see the total government committed to one policy,”win”.Having the ability to win,I don’t see as the problem.Its the “will” to win I see as the problem.The age old Russian curse of “Westernizers vs Slavists” rears it ugly head once again.And only by ending that dispute can they bring victory.
After the West destroyed the world, the world is coming home to the West: Tens of thousands of migrants to Germany alone, never before seen exponential growth:
Close enough to be wiped out in hours by polite green men from nearby RF.
Moving up such numbers of men and artillery makes the task easy enough.
I think the recent display of so many videos and news stories about RF Airborne troops is a message that the hammer is ready.
It’s been too hot and humid here for me to keep up on the details of and all what’s been happening, but this new buildup looks like something is about to happen, in a few weeks maybe (end of August? sooner?) — and I can’t think the Russians are not well aware of all the details and possibilities and don’t have a number of plans, for any contingency, and an overall strategy.

Donbas itself is now a formidable force, even if it’s pulled back from the front now. It wouldn’t take long to mobilize, and who knows what nifty defensive traps are waiting. Donbas or Russia unprepared? I don’t think so!
But ‘expect the unexpected’. Too much chaos in the air.
I heard Putin say “there will be war in 2016”
Did he say where the war will be? There are several ongoing wars already; was he referring to them?
There is a lot of talk among our media friends about the Ukie’s going to make another attack soon.I think they may be right.A friend of mine living in the junta “occupied” area of South Donetsk posted she was passed on the road by 20 heavy military vehicles heading for the front region.She said people there believe the junta is up to something bad.

Ireland Won’t Send Suspect to US Over Fears of ‘Cruel & Unusual’ Punishment
Ireland freed a suspected terrorist rather than extradite him to the United States, where he would have been held in a federal prison that Irish authorities said amounts to “cruel and unusual” punishment.
Ali Charaf Damache, a 50-year-old Irish resident originally from Algiers, is accused of using online chat rooms to recruit American women into a terrorist cell operating in the United States and Europe. He was arrested in 2010 in Dublin on an unrelated charge.
Since then, the High Court of Ireland has refused to grant requests by US prosecutors to have Damache extradited for trial in Philadelphia.
Even a convicted terrorist, the High Court said, should not be subjected to the harsh conditions at the “supermax” facility in Florence, Colorado, with its 24-hour solitary confinement and no family visits, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Such a prison, the Irish court said, “amounts to a breach of the constitutional requirement to protect persons from inhuman and degrading treatment and to respect the dignity of the human being.”
So on May 21, after Demache served three years in Ireland, a judge there set him free.
At supermax, dubbed the “Alcatraz of the Rockies,” food is delivered through a slit in the cell door, family visits are banned, and conversations with others are restricted.
The facility is considered so harsh that defense lawyers have used its reputation to persuade jurors to vote against the death penalty and instead send their clients to supermax, arguing that time there would be worse than capital punishment, the LA Times reported.
Ireland High Court Justice Aileen Donnelly, who freed Demache rather than grant the US extradition request, said there is “compelling evidence” the Colorado prison is inhumane.
“I am satisfied that prolonged exposure to involuntary solitary confinement exacts a significant physiological toll, is damaging to the integrity of the mind and personality, and is damaging to the bodily integrity of the person,” she wrote in her decision.
Damache was indicted in Philadelphia in 2011 on charges of plotting to assassinate a Swedish cartoonist who depicted the Prophet Muhammad as a dog.
One can imagine the sort of “fair trial” the zionazi kangaroo courts pindoland would give him. Pennsylvania is one of the worst states in the USA regarding legal corruption, the so-called “Justice” system there is essentially a zionazi/nazi banana republic. Totally corrupt police state. Interesting, and very laudatory, that this Irish judge stood up to the zionazis/nazis, as Irish regime is generally one the most craven quislings to this freakshow. One can expect the CIA/Mossad/Jewish mafia will scheme something up to extract their revenge on Judge Donnelly.
Obviously something is building here. Anyone have an idea? The headlines get ever more shrill:
Ukraine rebel leader Borodai admits to Russia links
Fancy that, he actually talks to neighbouring Russia. Obviously then he is guilty -we are not sure what of but that doesn’t really matter -other than -pause to gasp- talking to Russia . Kiev never has contact with the USA that is thousands of miles away, of course.
The obligatory MH17 meme is in there for good measure:
“The rebels have been widely accused of downing flight MH17 with a missile”
Amother false flag coming?
Just saw a headline at ap: “MH17 probe finds ‘probable’ Russian missile pieces at crash site”. This on an afp article. The zio-media propagandists are again in full blown gay mode.
They never mention that Ukraine has thousands of these Russian “missiles” – certainly an order of magnitude more than the Eastern Ukrainian Federalists.
for example amongst many, the BBC and expert yesterday firmly claiming it was a russian made buk missile , hence as AFU have never used them it can only be AFN or Russia that used it, but RT came back with
http://www.rt.com/news/312192-mh17-investigators-buk-missile/
extract “Investigators probing the downing of MH17 flight told RT that they cannot confirm that fragments found in eastern Ukraine are from a Buk missile system, refuting media reports that the parts belong to a Russian surface-to-air complex.
On Tuesday, the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) released a statement saying that it is investigating “several parts, possibly originating from a Buk surface-air-missile system.”
Following the release of the report, numerous media reports indicated that it was a “Russian” or “Russian-made” missile system – something JIT spokesman Wim de Bruin rejected to RT, stressing that “it’s too early to draw any conclusion at this moment.”
On Rt tv their expert talked about the various buk control systems ……
So, another “leak’ that discredits the integrity of the investigation?………….all to set up a tribunal to confirm the “guilty “party…………?
jj’s link below to RT…
The AP story is yet more proof that AP lies amd MSM should not be believed — even read — it’s such trash. Neither should anything a state of the empire says be taken seriously.
I hate to fall into a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_attribution_error but there’s no getting away from it now. It’s like ‘Is that wet?’ … ‘Well, it’s a fish, so what you you think?’.
The only point of reading any of that is to try to guess what the intent of the lie is. Seems the idiots are not yet ready to let the MH17 lie go away, and to defend against the report that’s supposed to be issued (if it really is and not delayed). The dysinformationalists try to get their shots in first and prime people to swallow the lies (old propaganda technique). Guessing at the intent of a lie can tip us off to what the plans are, like noting a fighter feints to left indicates he will attack from the right.
In this case it’s looking like the report, if issued, will not blame Russia, and they are working on damage control early.
I think you have it right; I have been thinking that the push for a UN tribunal was a desperate attempt to lay off the blame for whatever will be in the October report.

Time for VP to excommunicate Uk?
Ref to roadside bombs -I thought it was AFU doing this, not AFN……especially after article admits “AFU were trying to take back land” with tanks for example-against Minsk- but suffered losses
so it is ok to break Minsk but claim Rus agression and Rus is not fulfilling Minsk in order to justify Uk ‘s actions???
“Britain will step up its training in the Ukraine because the country’s bloody war against Russian-backed rebels is ‘red hot’, the Defence Secretary warned today.
Around 75 British military trainers are currently in the Ukraine as part of the UK’s commitment to helping Kiev defeat ‘Russian-inspired terrorism’ and have already trained more than 1,000 soldiers.
Now Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said he plans to step up the training to double that figure as he warned there was no end in sight to the conflict on Europe’s doorstep.
Speaking on a visit to the region, Mr Fallon said the war was not ‘frozen’ and suggested that Vladimir Putin’s separatists could continue to invade more territory and escalate the conflict.
He also indicated the UK’s commitment to helping the Ukraine in the conflict, which has already claimed nearly 7,000 lives, could carry on for years.
Amid increasing acts of aggression by the Russian President, he said the UK were now planning to teach 2,000 soldiers how to fight this year.
Putin’s supporters are now using deadly roadside bombs to blow up the Ukrainians and UK military specialists who fought the Taliban in Afghanistan will help teach them how to counter the threat.
He said: ‘Why are we doing all this? Because we shouldn’t lose sight of just how serious this situation is.
‘Seven thousand people have already died in the Ukraine, right on the doorstep of Europe, as Ukraine fights for its freedom. This is not a frozen conflict, it’s still red hot.’
He said since the Minsk peace agreements were signed – the second coming in February this year – around 200 Ukrainian soldiers have lost their lives and around 2,000 have been injured.
Even as the Secretary of State landed in the war-torn country, details emerged of one of the deadliest clashes since hundreds lost their lives in February.
As many as seven Ukrainian troops were killed on Monday when soldiers loyal to Kiev attempted to take back land near the small settlement of Belaya Kamenka.
The Ukrainians also lost several tanks and an anti-missile defence system as they struggle to defeat the rebels.
In a meeting with the Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yarsenyuk in Kiev, Mr Fallon added: ‘We are doubling the amount of troops we are going to train this year.
‘We are not going to turn our back on Ukraine.
‘We are standing shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine while its borders are still threatened.
‘For as long as its borders are threatened, we are going to continue to support Ukraine, a friend in need.’
He added the UK would stand by the Ukraine ‘in the face of Russian aggression, Russian-directed insurgency and Russian-inspired terrorism’.
Announcing an expanded training programme in the region, Mr Fallon said: ‘At the end of this year, stepping up the training, we aim to train over 2,000.
‘Seventy-five trainers, 13 different teams, in six locations. We are going to increase the type of training we are offering.’
Britain will continue to carry out the ten-day courses until March next year and whether the UK will continue after that will be decided in the Autumn.
Asked if he saw an end to the conflict, he responded: ‘Not any time soon. Sanctions will remain there as long as the Minsk agreements remain unfulfilled.’

The Daily Mail is one of the worst newspapers regarding Ukraine, VERY biased against the Donbass people, and in favour of the Western Governments’ BS. Comments in favour of the Donbass have often NOT been published – I’m talking from personal experience too.
I read this article on Fort Russ today.They run a series of articles by a women nicknamed “Little Hiroshima”,she brings humanitarian aid to Donbass from Russia.I’d characterize her as an Angel.Its people like her that help the poor and the weak in Donbass to survive.I read all her articles.I don’t want to,because they break my heart every time I see one.But I owe it to her to read through the pain.They make me wish I had money just so I could help her.Of all her articles this one hurt me the most:

UNITED NATIONS, August 12. /TASS/. The UN Secretariat has temporarily suspended consideration of plans on establishing an office in Ukraine for supporting the peaceful settlement of the conflict in the country’s east, the press service has said.
The international organization has decided to give up the idea as it has not secured the solid support of all the parties concerned, UN spokesperson Eri Kaneko told TASS.
In May, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said the office, which is set to contribute to implementation of the Minsk peace agreements, would be opened in the country in the near future.
Over the past months, some UN member-states have called on the Secretariat to take more active steps to support the effort on the peaceful settlement in war-torn Ukraine.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon ordered the Secretariat to continue providing this support based on particular requests of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

Moscow calls on Kiev to show restraint after failed attempt to break militias’ defense
The movement of troops and equipment to the areas close to the frontline comes with the use of fraudulent maneuvers, Eduard Basurin told reporters citing intelligence data.
The vehicles were found in the villages of Kodema, Prohorovka, Nevelsky and Andreyevka.
This comes in violation of the February 12 Minsk agreements which envisage the pullout of all heavy weapons by both sides to equal distance with the aim of creating a security zone on at least 50 kilometers apart for artillery systems of 100 mm caliber or more.
AFN also claims these attempts/bravado are also a “flag ” by Poro in oder to get NATO /UN peacekeepers in Donbass
“MOSCOW, August 12. /TASS/. Envoy of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) to the Minsk talks Denis Pushilin on Wednesday said that provocations against representatives of the Special Monitoring Mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in Ukraine were designed to again raise the issue of the need to deploy peacekeepers to Donbas.

“Now we see provocations against the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission – from arson attacks on vehicles to shelling the observers. And this has been confirmed today by the statements of [Ukrainian President] Petro Poroshenko, where he again suggests deploying peacekeepers [to the region],” Pushilin said.

“Moscow has lost patience with regards to the conflict in the Donbass, which persists to this day. Now Russia calls Kiev not to violate the irresponsible actions of the progress of the Minsk agreements.
According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, in the last few days we have seen a dramatic deterioration of the situation along the front lines in the south-east of Ukraine. Proof of this – the frequent attacks on populated areas, because of which killed civilians and destroyed homes.
“Unfortunately, increased sharply militant rhetoric of Kiev. By refusing to at the last meeting of the contact group in Minsk is almost ready to sign the document and agreed on the withdrawal of tanks, artillery and 100 mm mortars and 120 mm from the ground to a depth of 15 km on each side, what was to contribute to the de-escalation of conflict in the region, the Ukrainian authorities have flatly referring to some threats and provocation, began to say to return to their battle positions of heavy weapons and artillery systems withdrawn to the rear, in accordance with the “package of measures to implement the agreements Minsk” 12 February 2015. We call on the Ukrainian side to exercise restraint and not to violate their irresponsible actions of the progress of the Minsk agreements in the field of security “, – stated in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia.

“Poroshenko signed a law to increase defense spending in the budget in 2015. Increase spending by 5.3 billion hryvnia, or, in other words, up to 240 million dollars. These funds will be allocated for carrying out “anti-terrorist special operation” in the south-east of the country.
According to data provided by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Ukraine’s defense budget in the current year amounted to about $ 2 billion, and as a percentage of GDP – 2.7%, which is almost two times more than last year. Due to the increasing number of APUs, defense and law enforcement agencies of the country appealed to the government to allocate additional 769 million dollars.”

“Victor Muzhenko, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, spoke about the readiness of Russia to repel the attack.Despite the existence of the so-called problems with the air defense and air force, forces and means of Ukraine enough to repel the attack, including from the air, he told Muzhenko. Immediately he says as if in passing, that the probability of open aggression on the part of the Russian Federation aimed at Kiev is not quite clear.”

Not sure if is important…..what implications could be, eg withdraw right of veto if UN censures Russia…for example, but could it work against USA breaking Helsinki agreements if Rus brought in a motion ??
“Britain and France are discussing the initiative of the deprivation of the right to veto UN Security Council members on special occasions. It is “a voluntary renunciation of the use of the veto in cases where immediate action is required to prevent mass crimes.” British diplomats recall how their country to use its veto in 1989, when the draft resolution, demand from the United States to immediately stop the military invasion of Panama.
Then, together with the United Kingdom took advantage of their right and the United States. Now, based on various precedents, Western politicians and diplomats began talking at once about the “crisis of capacity” of the UN as an organization. It is noteworthy that such conversations between prominent political events in Libya almost was not. The topic arose after its principled position under the Charter of the United Nations began to express Russian Federation.
Some Western initiative on Syrian issues, on the events in the former Yugoslavia (the bill on the events in Srebrenica), on the organization of the tribunal in connection with the collapse of the Malaysian Boeing over the territory of Donbass, the Russian side were blocked. From there to the status of Western claims.
At the forefront of “pluralism in the United Nations with the expected results” are the American political satellites – Great Britain and France. Moscow fundamentally opposed any change in the decision-making mechanism, since the status of the Russian Federation to the United Nations – is one of the few foreign policy achievements of the Soviet Union, which is still in use at the successor after the destruction of the Soviet state.

Gérard Depardieu reportedly blacklisted by Ukraine as threat to national security (together with 500 other artists) http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/jul/22/gerard-depardieu-reportedly-blacklisted-by-ukraine-as-threat-to-national-security
Ukraine has formally ordered Minsk 2 to be set under the tank treads of their army.
A larger, more devastating defeat will have to be applied to Kiev in order to bring them back into the form of Minsk 2.
It looks like, according to Col Cassad and his sources that Gorlovka will be the chief battleground. That is why they have been unmercifully bombarding it for a year. They expect to take it and use it as their launchpad for taking Donetsk.
Expect it to be turned into a Debaltcevo.
Right now, looking at the massing of men and equipment, there are three large boiler opportunities for the militia and Russian generals to exploit.
These would result in the losses of 30-50,000 men.
One would be in Lugansk, the main in Gorlovka region and the third, the southern near Mariupol.
With a few days of maneuvering, each could form quite conclusively.
The alternative will be an artillery exchange of the largest caliber rockets/missiles of kinetic ammo. This is the way the Ukies hope the new offensive will proceed. They have American targeting assistance. We can see how more accurate they have become in recent fusillades. Militia have suffered some significant losses, even of key unit leaders in some villages.
I think the political Rubicon has been crossed by Porky. His total rejection of Minsk 2 will displease Putin. The reckless shelling of Donbass cannot continue indefinitely. And there is no way Porky can be politically influenced. Only a massive defeat will end his run as executioner of innocents.
Under the actual hours of large scale offensive by Ukies (which may come any day now), I believe the Russian response will be to finalize the destruction in toto of the Ukie military. Whatever is along the line of battle will be destroyed. It will be like a shooting gallery.
Europe, the Normany group, OSCE, NATO, the UN will all remain silent as they are now. They have their investment with boots on the ground. There may be 3000 or more advisers and trainers on the ground with the Ukies. They are hoping this time the Russians will enter the fray.
I believe only Russian hardware, not Russian troops, will pour onto the Ukies. According to Cassad, nighttime movement of Voentorg has been significant of late. In terms of a counter-offensive, the main armor and artillery is but an hour away in the rear.
There has been noticeable aircraft used, not just drones. Thus, the Ukies will fly their last air force units in the offensive. I suspect the Russians will clear the skies swiftly if that occurs.
The last payments to Kiev have been arranged by the IMF and US. Death and chaos and tragedy for Donbass have been bought and paid for.
Now, all that is left is the final battles. The militia has cancelled all leaves and men are returning to their units.
If and when the attack comes,the NAF will need to totally destroy the Ukrainian forces and push them out of Donbass.Anything less will be a defeat.And I’m not sure Russia will go along with that.I don’t see that they have yet understood the situation in Ukraine.Over and over I see them looking to “have their cake and eat it too”.That just doesn’t work in ending the war.Wars are won on the battlefield (I know some dispute that,but I don’t).To “win” a war through diplomacy,you must have enemies that see they have no choice,if they want to survive.And I don’t see that realization in Kiev,or among their masters in the US.Which is where the “winning on the battlefield” part comes in.The best case scenario would be a junta defeat that would spur their enemies in the Ukrainian military to oust them.Arrange a ceasefire,and install a government (maybe the recent Azarov group?) to institute Federalization throughout Ukraine.And criminalize and dismantle the fascist regime.The next best scenario would be the junta defeat spurs a total fascist coup.That would polarize all Ukrainians,and split the least fascist inclined in the EU and US to wake-up and drop their support.Leading the way to a general NAF lead liberation of all the former Ukraine,and bringing on the first scenario.But as I said I don’t see the desire in Moscow yet,to “cross the Rubicon” and end this war.We shall see,I hope I’m wrong there.But Russian politics seems to be a sewer only a bit better (if that) than that in the West.The only patriotic elements seem to be in the military and intelligence services (and among the common people).I don’t see the total government committed to one policy,”win”.Having the ability to win,I don’t see as the problem.Its the “will” to win I see as the problem.The age old Russian curse of “Westernizers vs Slavists” rears it ugly head once again.And only by ending that dispute can they bring victory.
After the West destroyed the world, the world is coming home to the West: Tens of thousands of migrants to Germany alone, never before seen exponential growth:
