Vedrete che finira' che finira' a corpi di interposizione contrapposti. Qualcuno si propone? La Mogherini e il casco blu sono  in premio.
 
Do' dei pezzettini:
 
Over the past several weeks, Russia has built up 17 battalions -- totaling 19,000 to 21,000 troops, according to one Western estimate -- into a battle-ready force of infantry, armor, artillery and air defense within a few miles of the border. In addition, it has vastly expanded its firepower, increasing the number of advanced surface-to-air missile units to 14 from eight, and deploying more than 30 artillery batteries, according to the officials.
 
Another senior American official added, "The more success Ukrainian forces have, the more pressure there is on Moscow to escalate."
 
Adding to the concern, the buildup coincides with a newly announced Russian air force and air defense exercise. When it intervened in Crimea this year, Russia used a military exercise to mask its preparations.
 
For President Obama and European leaders, the tool is calibrated economic sanctions, targeted to affect banks close to the Kremlin or narrow subsectors of the Russian economy, like Russia's long-term ability to develop new Arctic, deep sea and shale oil reserves.
 
But for Mr. Putin, the tool is the Kremlin's ability to marshal raw military power and, increasingly, its willingness to use it.
 
Wesley K. Clark, the retired general and former NATO commander, said that Mr. Putin had put the pieces in place for a major military intervention by massing Russia forces near the border, arming separatist groups, infiltrating operatives, conducting exercises to practice the military's ability to coordinate fire and supporting the self-proclaimed mayor of Luhansk, who has called for the Russian military to come to the separatists' aid.
 
But the risks to Mr. Putin of intervening, General Clark noted, include tougher Western economic sanctions, resistance by the Ukrainian forces and Western military support for the Kiev government.
 
If Mr. Putin did decide to intervene, one plausible outcome highlighted by General Clark and Phillip A. Karber, a former adviser to Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger, is the possibility of a "peacekeeping" intervention at the request of the Ukrainian separatists whom Moscow has been arming and supporting politically.

Pare ci siano comandanti americani a comandare truppe appena arruolate Ukraine.
 
Li stanno mandando allo sbaraglio, di fatti tre brigate sono isolate su un fianco.
Ci sono attacchi demenziali degli Ukies con perdite orrende.
 
I Russi la han messa sul piano militare, ovvero venite venite avanti poi vedremo.
 
Se la Russia fa una manovra a tenaglia adesso tra Karkov e Mariupol prende tutto l'esercito Ucraino in una sacca, han mandato tutto li.
 
Ma non lo fara' gli conviene lasciarli svenare e dimostrare la loro natura.
Ci sono crimini di guerra in Ukraina fatti dai neri.
 
Si sta creando una leggenda dei separatisti che con una inferiorita' in terms of military hardware of six hundred to five  and  in personnel is ten to one resiste.
 
Adesso arriva una battaglia urbana a Donetsk tutta da vedere.
 
Mercenari stranieri (Polacchi) tra le fila Ukraine devono stare attenti.
 
Si sta creando un caso internazionale, un governo nazista sta devastando l'Ukraina.
 
E molto altro, tra cui lo schifoso false flag MH 17, nessuna prova portata dagli  USA, spetrale silenzio e nessun dato dalle scatole nere.
