Did somebody say de-escalation?

Earlier today, photos were distributed showing the latest military convoy reinforcements heading into the Crimea, accompanies by a Police car demonstrating Moscow license plate numbers, most likely providing further support to the pro-Russian forces in the peninsula.

Supposedly the trucks are carrying troops to reinforces the members of the new Crimean army, pictured below:

• While at the same time along the makeshift border between Crimea and the mainland, the Pro-Russian forces are putting down minefields.

However, the Ukrainians, having already been mobilized for over a week, finally appear set to seize back the offensive:

The first clip below captured the 80th Airborne Regiment out of Lviv moving out, direction mainland, preparing to repel foreign attack.

The next video shows what are allegedly Buk SAM batteries deployed in the Donetsk region, a city in Eastern Ukraine which in the past week has swayed between Ukraine and Russian authority.

The clip below shows the 95th Airborne brigade also moving out of their barracks in Zhytomyr in western Ukraine, heading East, with an impressive deployment of trucks and APCs.

Finally, 20 T-64 tanks preparing to depart in Bila Tserkva, a city in central Ukraine:

Meanwhile, India, the other rising Asian giant, has said that it backs Moscow’s legitimate claims in the Ukraine.

I also have a highly reliable source inside Romania who says that she has 2 close friends who both reported that they saw trucks with US containers and HUMv’s with US markings coming into western Romania and heading East either towards the Romanian port of Constanta or the Ukrainian border in the Northeast.  She also said that the USS Truxton, a us missile destroyer sent to the Black Sea, will dock at the Romanian port of Constanta.  The US has a part of their missile defense shield in southern Romania at Deveselu.  I consider the source very reliable and of course won’t reveal who it is.  

This is actually a huge escalation even though things have seemed less tense in recent days.  Both sides are clamoring for a fight and the Russians seem to be hunkering down for one considering they are laying down minefields.  I predict this thing will break before the Crimean referendum. 

Stay tuned..
