No Russian invasion of East Ukraine - Russia

CNN - Politics: Reports that Russia has denied sending forces into East Ukraine. 

Lets Get Real:

EITHER the Russian bear is not telling the truth or its the Ukraine, this blogger would not trust the Russian bear with taking my late beloved dog for a walk, but WHY LIE, one can presume there as pictures of burned out trucks etc, so we should know quite soon who is telling the truth, that is the problem with modern Wars, THE PR front is as important as the actual combat.  Lets see who gets out in front of this story.  My hunch is that Kiev is telling the truth, could be wrong, lets wait and see over the next few hours. 

Is the Ukraine Crisis the FAULT of President Obama? - Ukraine Crisis

Telegraph: Reports " A "significant" part of the Russian armoured column that crossed into Ukraine on Thursday night has been destroyed by Ukrainian troops, the country's president tells David Cameron "

Lets Get Real:

As noted in the past few days Hillary Clinton has tried without much success to distance herself from President Obama over his policy in Syria and Iraq, when it comes to the Ukraine the Clinton Camp should be worried, everyone recalls her restart button with Russia, one can see the TV adverts in 2016,  Hillary Clinton saying that there was a vast right wing conspiracy to bring her husband down, well as we learned it was Bill Clinton who had lied to her and the World, then the symbolic restart button with the Russian Foreign Minister, then images of the Crimea and the Ukraine and of course MH17.   The Clintons will be looking for someone to blame, that is Obama, his sorry tour in the first term, his failure to keep US troops in Iraq, the lack of protection for the US Ambassador in Libya which lead to his death, the opposition to giving arms to the secular Syrian rebels in the first term.    The Clintons will dump of Obama from on high, and he will have to take it, you do not want the Clintons as political enemies, they do not play fair. 

What is Russian up to in East Ukraine - Ukraine Crisis

Guardian: Reports on a telephone conversation between UK PM Cameron and President Poroshenko of the Ukraine, " Ukraine says it has destroyed Russian vehicles that entered territory...In phone call to David Cameron, president appears to confirm reports that Russian armoured carriers had crossed border "

Lets Get Real:

President Putin has backed himself in to a corner, he has whipped up anti Ukrainian feeling in Russia, the Russian economy is starting to fall apart with the help of Western sanctions, thus the Kremlin faces two choices, total invasion of the Ukraine or total humiliation, let's recall Putin is ex KGB, not the most friendly outfit in the history of intelligence work, thus it can be assumed that Putin has gone for the first option, take as much of the East of the Ukraine as he can, and then see how the West reacts, or if he feels bold, take the whole of the Ukraine, and then place pressure on Poland and the Baltic States, this could be very dangerous, as any threat to Poland and the Baltic States is a threat to NATO.   One can hope that Putin does not go to far, there is a point of no return. 

Has Russian invaded the Ukraine ? - Ukraine Crisis

BBC News: Reports " The Ukrainian military said its forces had engaged an armoured column and partially destroyed it. "

This feels like Russia was fishing for a reason to invade, the stopping of the aid trucks looks like a set up, also IF a Russian invasion it was small, lets face it, if it was a full Russian invasion the Army of the Ukraine would not stand a chance, it could be that Moscow was checking to see how the Kiev Government would react if it took off the gloves, well Moscow has got its answer, first round to Ukrainian forces.  President Putin could be thinking with the Western eyes on Iraq, he could move, lets face it Obama scares no one, not even IS.   The next few hours should be interesting, will  Moscow carry on with its military presence in East Ukraine or back off, let's hope it backs off, otherwise Eastern Europe will be very alarmed, this brings in NATO.   A FULL invasion of the Ukraine would be a disaster for Europe and the 2ND Obama term.
