    The UK raise the stakes and send in military advisors and trainershttp://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-31610026What is the odds that those they train will be the volunteers members of Right Sector…just as they trained Pol Pot's Khymer Rouge a few decades ago and more recently the "moderate" Jihadists in SyriaAnd just a personal anecdote…Russian planes over the UK…for a couple of years during the 70s i worked at an air traffic control centre…Russian planes nearing UK air space was practically a daily occurrence…and no real concern was shown…up go the UK interceptors and the Russian Bear would fly away…We receive flight plans of NATO reconnaissance aircraft who would then go "operational" in the vicinity of Eatern European/Russian airspace..tit for tat …If i had been Bennet and asked directly about these flights …my answer would be …who fucking cares …stop the hype and hysteria…nations have been there seen it done it got the t shirt…

    "So by the end of the summer, you could very well see an operation that stretches from the Baltics all the way down to the Black Sea," said Colonel Michael Foster, of the 173rd Airborne Brigade,  "As you connect countries, there is almost a line of US troops," as cited by Defense News on March 2.

    Just who is doing the sabre rattling?

    One more several related threads to choose from.This Der Spiegel story took my attention of how "rogue" NATO's now former military leader was in what could have been a Hot War. http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/breedlove-network-sought-weapons-deliveries-for-ukraine-a-1104837.html

    I don't think this crisis will conduct the capitalists  toward a war between Russia and the Western empires, or the USA.The Leninists groups around the world are flapping their winds and producing too much dusts, and playing the drums of warsUntill now they do not understand what are the real causes of war, and wars do not occur by accidents and they are not conducted by an individual or a family to produce profits

    Today, Ukraine…Tomorrow,  Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia …I used to admire the Independents anti-Iraq War stance but in recent years, it has grown to be perhaps the most war-mongering. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russias-growing-threat-after-ukraine-fears-grow-that-baltic-states-could-be-vladimir-putins-next-targets-10032378.html Hammond said. “This man has sent troops across an international border and occupied another country’s territory acting like some mid-20th century tyrant. We do not see any reason to tolerate this kind of outrageous and outdated behaviour…" No,  not Blair or Bush.Is diplomacy always schizophrenic?Germany’s Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung newspaper reported today that German intelligence estimated up to 50,000 soldiers and civilians had been killed during the conflict….these statistics are simply not making headlines 

    Wars are not produced by errors made in diplomacy. ""Peace"  among the capitalists is also  the continuation of their wars . The empire of Japan made several peace proposals through their ambassadors  to the US using the Vatican as their intermediary and the war continued.Obama received a Peace Nobel Prize and he has been forced  to continue the same war initiated by the US capitalists in the middle east,  Every president has his or her own boss too

    You can’t take your eye off the ball for a moment

    https://apnews.com/article/ukraine-moscow-russia-sergei-shoigu-united-states-9e23a53ca4db61dab2fbf7897d60b1be

    Russia’s defense minister said that the country’s military buildup in the west was part of readiness drills amid threats from NATO. Sergei Shoigu said the maneuvers in western Russia that have worried neighboring Ukraine and brought warnings from NATO would last for another two weeks. Shoigu said the ongoing exercise was a response to what he claimed were continuous efforts by the United States and its NATO allies to beef up their forces near Russia’s borders.

    Two U.S. warships would sail to the Black Sea on April 14 and April 15 and stay there until May 4 and May 5. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov denounced the deployment as “openly provocative,”

    “They are testing our strength and playing on our nerves,” Ryabkov said in remarks carried by Russian news agencies. “Seeing itself as the Queen of the Seas, the U.S. should realize that the risks of various incidents are very high. We warn the U.S. that it should stay away from Crimea and our Black Sea coast for their own benefit.”
