To Those Who Still ...

 ... do not recognize calamity for NATO in 404. Here is a map of the situation in Kharkov Oblast, but also at the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk strong area.

It doesn't take a military genius to understand what is going on strategically and that you have several cauldrons (or blisters if you wish) formed all along the frontline. And one must ask question, what's the deal with Kharkov Oblast? This is not the territory which joined Russia? I guess we have to ask a larger question, because these events are the part of Russia preparing for war (in whatever form) with Europe. 

Here is a hint from Lavrov from yesterday: 

"At some point in our history, after the creation of UN, OSCE and after the disappearance of the Soviet Union, the prospects for coexistence and even cooperation with the West seemed very realistic to us. All this has gone into oblivion. An open war has been declared on us. For this, the Kiev regime is being used as a "tip" ... The Kiev regime and the Ukrainian state are openly being used as a geopolitical battering ram." 

Read attentively highlighted. No "coexistence" means only one thing--it is "us" against "them". Only one will survive, and all indicators are telling us that it is not going to be Europe.
