Also some I've seen that some of the units massing on the border are elite units (VDV, GMRD, GTD) that wouldn't be deployed away from Moscow this long without them having a significant objective.

From what source(s) do you get the majority of your information? You seem to have access to specifics/details that I just don't typically see in most news accounts.
Or maybe you're a spy. |

Here are some of the guys I follow on Twitter that seem to be up to date on the crisis. It seems certain Twitter personalities are really killing it compared to typical news outlets on this. I also follow a number of Ukrainian activists accounts that provide first hand knowledge on the ground;
@20committee
@ISNJH
@ThreatWatch1
@gerrydogma
I also watch some of the YouTube clips that show Russian troop movements and try determine what type of equipment is being deployed. That is probably the biggest because you kind of get an idea of what the Kremlin is thinking.  |

He's a spy, don't let him fool you. After he logs off Volnation he jumps into his Aston-Martin, grabs his PPK and rides off into the sunset with some hot chick. |

I suspected such but wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. |

We all are.
Matter of fact, you are on my list.
Care to guess which one?

It wouldn't be suicide but an occupation would be a considerable drain (see America, this past decade). Can they afford it?
