Obama vs. Putin - Ukraine Crisis Latest


Lets Get Real:
Interesting, it was  Putin who called the Oval Office, has the economic sanctions started to work, is he worried that there might be harder sanctions, or is this just a bluff while his Army gets read to invade the East of Ukraine.   Is the Russian Army not quite ready fight a War in the Ukraine, are there internal pressures from Putin's rich friends for him to back off, God its like the Cold War, reading the smoke signals from the Kremlin.   This weekend could be interesting, either WAR on talk talk, this move by Putin might mean that he has flinched at the final move of an invasion, so many questions, not to many answers. 


Is there a planned Russian Invasion of the Ukraine ?- Ukraine Crisis Latest

Telegraph: Reports on the speculated Russian Invasion of the Ukraine, the article notes from a reporter on the ground, " As President Obama warns that Russian troops are 'massing along border', the Telegraph goes in search of Putin's invisible army ".

Lets Get Real:

The article is almost light hearted, from the correspondent on the ground, there is NO invasion force, the article notes the following,It is almost perfect tank country, as local history testifies. But the rich earth may still be too boggy - and the rivers too high - to provide a decent surface for Russia’s heavy T-90 tanks. ".  One has to ask is Putin just driving the West crazy with worry for something he has no plans to do, even the Kremlin must know it would not be a walk over in the East of the Ukraine, the Russian natives of East are not a majority, one can expect resistance from the Army of the Ukraine, the US could supply military arms, Obama does not want Putin on the Polish border or close to the Baltic States.   The reporter has either found the TRUTH, e.g no invasion or he will look like a fool, time will tell when it comes to the Ukraine.   Sky News just reported that President Obama has talked to President Putin and asked him to remove his troops from the border and start talks with the new Kiev Government, the CIA and NSA must smell that the Russian Bear is up to no good, who is right, the Telegraph or US Intelligence. 

Remove Russian troops from border of Ukraine - Obama - Ukraine Latest

BBC News: Reports that President Obama has called for Russia " to "move back its troops" on Ukraine's border and lower tensions. ".

Lets Get Real:

The White House must be worried that while POTUS is travelling the Russians will make a move on the Ukraine, there has been a drum beat of reports that Russia has thousands of troops on the Russian/Ukraine border, last night Fox News had footage that seemed to show Russians tanks on the move, the location of and time of the footage could not be confirmed by Fox.    One can postulate that the Kremlin  is waiting for the weekend,  hoping to catch the West out, also weekends are break periods, while Western population enjoy the weekend break and their leaders take the rest the Kremlin could move, but that is only a guess, something is up, the question is what is the Kremlin's game.
