Yes
No
Other answer

My take: Yes

see https://nitter.pussthecat.org/newkc14?source=patrick.net

Evacuation of civilians from Doneck, Gleiwitz-style explosions in Doneck, and a lot of shelling along border.

Less probable is that they just want to increase tensions to get something out of the West (higher oil/gas prices, promises about non-expansion of NATO, etc).

If they do invade, ZH and a lot of skeptics owe Bidet & Co an apology of sorts. Everything goes to crap if invasion happens, as in economy of the world, residual civil liberties, etc, and one can blame Russians for inflation, loss of life quality, etc, instead of real culprit Bidet.

If I'd be conspiratorial, I'd say that Bidet agents in Russia will push for Russian invasion, but on other hand current CIA and military here can only shout pronouns at enemies as seen from Afghanistan debacle.

It has already invaded in 2014.

No. But Donbass people may be resettled/reshuffled. I don't consider this an invasion since donbass is majority pro Russia. It's a bit Iike a US state being close to secession.

Fun fact: evacuation of civilians from South Ossetia was started on 08/02/2008, 6 days before Russo-Georgian war known as "war of 08/08/08". And two days before that - 07/31/2008 - ended Russian military excersice nearby.

Fun fact: FSB colonel Igor Girkin who started the fake uprising has famously complained:

“I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect that there wouldn’t be even a thousand of men in the entire region who were ready to risk their lives not in their city on the barricade next to their house, from where it takes half a day to get to the nearest national guardsman by car, but on the front line, where everyone day they shoot. Nevertheless, it is so.

"Donetsk land needs defenders... If men are not capable of this, women will have to be called in. From today I gave the order to accept them into the militia."


Tells a lot about how "close to sessesion" they really are/were.

So is he saying he was surprised to see more than a thousand? Or that he did hardly find a single "freedom fighter" and thus called in a draft for both genders?

Huh? He said literally "not a thousand men willing to risk their lives in a firefight". This is what usually happens when a whole "region" is "close to sessesion". I mean, didn't our South have the same problem when they couln't find any volunteers to fight Lincoln's troops? =)) And if some foreign dude who came across the border with a bunch of armed foreigners calls in a "draft", does it really look like a "popular uprising"?
