Ok Jura but where are they?
There are supposed to be about 20,000 to 25,000 Novorossiyan fighters and the implication is that at any one time, half of them are Russian regulars fighting in Russian federation formations.
So where are they?
In a region and in war when even granny has a smart phone with a camera, how has the half the rebel army in full Russian Uniform and in Russian vehicles etc, managed to avoid total detection. How also have they managed to sneak all these thousands past the OSCE border monitors.
To be asked to swallow a lie is one thing, to be asked to swallow a ridiculous one is quite another.

I saw this punch coming

I might not log on tomorrow, so ... I'd be pathetic if I didn't acknowledge that two weeks ago SampanViking had been right, and I had been wrong, about the "tide direction" in the Ukraine conflict. Applaud for SampanViking!
P.S. Had this argument taken place in the pub I regularly go, I'd have offered you one drink on me, but not of a beer or ordinary liquor, but the most expensive they have there (which I think would be Whiskey or Rum about 10 years old) -- but this doesn't work when talking to a stranger in the Internet, does it?

They might well be used. There's a war on, you know.I hope someone plans on detonating those stockpile of left over artillery shells and other ammunition before it hits the black market.

well regimental colours would be extremely valuable. this looks like a flag they bought in some store so its not a big deal
that ben judah guy sounds stupid, in the title it seemed as if he was suggesting arming ukraine then he jumps into sending spec op to kiev and odessa? make up your mind...and he has no idea what is going on on the ground in ukraine either.

Of course I don't
It is a close guarded secret, and unlike strategic weapons neither Russia nor US (or China for that matter) like to talk about them . There are only educated guesses how many of them are operational :Nevertheless, I don't think Russia would need any of them to finish crippled Ukrainian Army . Thus far, even the rebel forces are sufficient to achieve desired outcome for Kremlin.
