Here are some updates(May 5, 2014) that need to be posted:
1. US F-15 jet intercepted a Russian strategic bomber near Guam. Also drastic increase in Russian air patrols around Japanese islands and Korea.
2. There had been long-range Russian air patrols to the coast of California and a circumnavigation of the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam.
3. US commander in Pacific reports a significant increase in activities by Russian planes and ships in the region.
What you don’t know is Putin’s agenda in Ukraine and how it is going down. The GRU Spetsnaz is the elite military intelligence and tactical unit. While some will say it has disbanded, that is not quite accurate. They are in Ukraine today for ‘special purposes’ which is the precise reason Eastern Ukraine is terrified and desperately seeking help from Europe and the West. This is a call where there is a ring but no answer, even VP Joe Biden cant hear it much less the State Department or the White House.
Now this is clearly an insurgency operation in Ukraine designed by the Elite within the Kremlin and it is headed up by a man named Igor Strelkov which is an alias. This man is a known assassin and kidnapper who orchestrated the capture of NATO spies. Strelkov has recruited all Pro-Russian forces for operations in Crimea and Ukraine as well as battle-hardened fighters itching for a nasty confrontation and full takeover of Ukraine. It should be noted that the mayor of Kharkiv, a Jew named Hennady Kernes was shot in the back while cycling. He was transported to Israel for treatment.
Strelkov is part of a disguised warfare mission that Putin originally denied but has since admitted to the Eastern Ukraine occupation. The ‘green men’ as they are being referred to are defected Chechens, paid Russian operatives and Russian military forces while Ukrainian men are being forced into submission to join the insurgency.
The U.S. State Department is well aware of those involved in the insurgency in Eastern Ukraine as NATO and the United States has well placed spies, operatives and media in Ukraine such that the intelligence has reached the United States, NATO and Europe with proven voice recordings, photos and operational objectives.
In a recent round of sanctions against Russia, which is for the most toothless, Igor Strelkov is listed as but one name on the sanctions list by the European Union.
Now given the face of the incursion in Crimea and Ukraine, the West has no stomach to take on Russia and so far has responded by delivering MRE’s to Ukraine and doing some joint NATO military exercises in a few Baltic States. The question now is why has the West not collaborated to move Ukraine and Georgia into NATO where Article 5 would in fact have some teeth in response to Putin’s mission to rebuild Russia into a new Soviet Union?
