Is that the same Stephen Cohen who regularly appears on RT?

Example 1
Example 2
Example 3

He's a well-known Kremlin stooge.

Check out his Pro-Kremlin spiel here.

So the armed combatants are clearly not Russian special forces/army. A bunch are from Crimea, some are cossacks from Russia, a few locals too.

Obviously a few of them have far-right symbolism in their profiles, and swastikas etc.

Nunez was kind enough to point this out too a couple pages ago. I mean, it's no surprise. The guys are too clumsy, undisciplined, and ineffective to be Russian soldiers, or especially Russian special forces, not to mention gear and other things. Not to say there aren't Russian military elements present (as has already been evidenced), but nowhere near the degree that NYT and elsewhere seemed to be claiming.

The wanna-be Nazi guys are absolutely ridiculous. Maybe they forget why 8 million of their soldiers died 70 years ago. Also, a lot of these guys profiled seem like they think they're hot shit because they're carrying a rifle around. Seriously, they should get an education/job and do something useful rather than trying to play 1917 Revolution hero >_>

haha. well, one time he didn't recognize a lord of the rings reference i made to him (his name is from lotr lore)... and then you also have lordtolkien and laughingtulkas... the plot thickens! ;>

i believe this is his third poor hatchet job so far in the thread, instead of engaging with the actual article/podcast (mark ames and robert parry as well). i wouldn't mind it so much if they had some actual substance, as f.ex robert parry tearing one of the writers of the 'russian soldiers in eastern ukraine' piece from the nyt apart. that was delicious.

These wannabes are exactly that product of post-Soviet E. Europe societies that Mc pointed out several pages earlier. No education, no proper job, bald heads, size of the weapon = size of the cock. Add to this plenty of spare time and there you go. We have similar low lifes in Poland - "Dresiarz" ( one that wears a tracksuit). They sit in front of blocks, drink beer, shout loudly and bother people passing by. All being in their 20-30s. The only difference is that they measure their dicks with muscules and shininess of their 30yr old cars.

Dutch Scramble Jets After Russian Bombers Approach

(AMSTERDAM) — The Dutch defense department says several NATO member countries scrambled jets Wednesday afternoon after a pair of Russian bomber planes approached their airspace over the North Sea.

The Dutch ministry identified the planes as two Russian TU-95 Bears, and said it had launched two F-16s from Volkel air force base to intercept them. The Russian jets were escorted by aircraft from the Netherlands, Britain and Denmark until they departed.

Maj. Wilko Ter Horst said “that’s why we scrambled, that’s why the Danish scrambled and the English scrambled, to ensure to insure they fly out of our air space.”

The ministry statement said such incidents have occurred before, citing one from March 21 and another on Sept. 10 last year.

^ The Baltic airspace is tested regularly
Example 1

Example 2, 19th of March

Example 3

The reactions of other countries are also tested:

Turkey

Mock attack on Sweden

This sounds ominous

So they're going to kill the vice guy? I imagine killing a US citizen won't go over too well for them. Then again, obama has shown time and again that he only has balls when dealing with his own citizens, when dealing with anyone outside the US he is spineless, so I doubt anything will happen even if they do kill him.. Sad though, I really liked the vice stuff.

So far they haven't killed anyone that the independent media reported as kidnapped by them. The publicity is Simon's best defense.

Yeah but the US and Canada don't have the relationship that russia has other nations in the region, keep a prize fighter sharp sorta deal instead of a well maybe that will work. It's sorta like suggesting north korea testing south koreas response times would be cosher, perhaps china and japan/s. korea would be a better example, esp giving russia's current activities. But yeah it's not that alarming sort like we all accept that nations attempt to hack each other/spy on each other.
