Aye. US troops that were heading for California, but whose SatNav sent them to Baja California....... Just the same.
(I may need to patent this excuse with the UN )
Since it was your beloved America/NATO that Ruined why should the World even anyone here support America/EU on the Ukrankian matter?
the way they are skipping over to the Ukrankian issue sure feels that the Americans are trying to distracted themselves of the problems you Americans have created elsewhere and your now trying to recreate new and bigger problems by dragging Russia into an War.
Hows that Liberated Libya/afghanistan doing again? and also the reason its crap its pretty much simple i am surprised you haven't researched it yet on why its crap.
Of course it is, however it isn't just a news station that outright says support Russia, they actually research their stories with proper information unlike a lot of the media over here which seem to omit stuff to valiadate their own articles. And it also helps to use various sources, unlike the OP who only seems to use 1.
The non-disclosure story didn't just appear from thin air, it was also reported in the New Strait Times apparently, which is an english speaking newspaper in Malaysia.

Who says he is trying to accomplish anything?
Whatever the case - I do not know why you are making such a damn big deal about it. Everybody else has moved on from the Ukraine. Every major country has their playgrounds - get over it.
To put a balance on this thread, just say Russia had destabilized Mexico making it like Ukraine is right now, do you not think the U.S. would pile troops at it's borders, including sending some into the country.

However, as we all know, Russia doesn't have military bases scattered around the borders of the U.S.
The effen USA didn't "destabilize" Ukriane...Russia did.

Russia has consistently denied sending tanks into Ukraine, arguing that any vehicles used by separatist forces there must have been captured from the Ukrainian army itself.
But now experts at the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in London have told the BBC that they have identified a Russian tank in a separatist column in eastern Ukraine that they say could only have come from across the border in Russia.
Joseph Dempsey, an IISS analyst, has studied video footage reportedly taken on 26 August in Sverdlovsk, Luhansk, in eastern Ukraine. The video shows a convoy of military vehicles.
Whilst date and location are unconfirmed, he says the operator of the convoy is apparent: flags associated with the separatist movement are clearly displayed and some vehicles feature bright green areas, a common feature of separatist armour.
This variant, distinguished by the prominent Kontakt-5 Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA) arrangement - the boxes on the turret front - is commonly referred to by Western sources as the T-72BM.
It is operated by the Russian Army in large numbers, but crucially it is not known to have been exported or operated outside of Russia.
'Ambiguous war'
According to the IISS, the presence of this variant in Ukraine therefore strongly supports the contention that Russia is supplying arms to separatist forces.
Up to now deniability has been a key-note of Moscow's "ambiguous war" strategy in eastern Ukraine.
The IISS says that the first separatist tanks observed were identified as T-64BV, a variant constituting the majority of the Ukrainian army fleet.
It was therefore initially assumed that they, like separatist armoured vehicles before, had been captured in engagements with government forces or through access to known army depots within contested areas.
