Russia denies it is planning an invasion, but it has seized Ukrainian territory before and it has an estimated 100,000 troops deployed near its borders. Please subscribe HERE bit.ly/1rbfUog
Tension is ratcheting up between President Putin and members of Nato over the threat of an invasion into Ukraine.
The Secretary General of Nato says the risk of conflict between Russia and Ukraine is real. Vladimir Putin continues to build up troops and weapons, but insists Russia will not invade.
The US’s top diplomat, Antony Blinken, is in Europe vowing relentless diplomacy to stop Russian aggression and is heading to Geneva to meet the Russian foreign minister.
What’s Putin’s next move?
Newsnight’s diplomatic editor Mark Urban reports. Kirsty Wark is joined by Fiona Hill, former Russia director of the White House’s National Security Council and Tobias Ellwood, Conservative MP and chair of the defence select committee.

Well i think Germany 's position toward the crisis is based on its dependency on russian gas supplies

[@leonidlerner1381]

This is all a storm in the tea cup. The US knows very well if and when Russia will invade. The Ukraine has been pummeling it's Russian enclaves with artillery every day for the past 7 years now, with tens killed in the enclaves every month. It has now concentrated more than a hundred thousand troops on the border with the enclaves. The Russians will 'invade' if the Ukrainians are given a pass to attack by the US. If not, they know very well they won't. The trouble is that NATO will only provide ammunition, so if the Russians win, the Kiev regime will crumble, and that will be a loss of a key asset. The 'news' is actually aimed at the Russian oligarchy in the west, to make them blink. These people in high position in Russia virtually live in the west, have assets and families there. Sanctions will primarily strike that. So this news is an attempt to neutralize the Russian army, to allow the Ukrainians freedom of movement.

I don’t believe it will ever go nuclear The narcissistic folk who run this planet won’t lose their assets (asses)

[@wowomah6194]

The true enemy could just as easily be cowardice. In a nuclear world, the nuclear option is OFF the table. Engaging in a Nuclear war would not only end Putin's reign (because it would be EASILY the cause that makes people revolt against him) but it would also kill many people which neither side would be able to stomach. Furthermore, in a nuclear war, what that means about war is that each "war" or military engagement with other nuclear powers becomes a game of "Chicken". That is, neither side wants to use the nuclear option AT ALL COSTS and so instead, engage in a number of small nudges over and over and over to gradually pincer their way to their end goal or to make it more feasible so that by the time they have achieved it, it isn't as big of an offensive military move that seems astounding. This is Russia's plan it seems...for years now they have poked and prodded and tested the waters and, likely with this case as well, they won't just invade, no, but they will create an opportunity likely that excuses small incursions. Something like "Oh well, we were shot at by a rocket from this town, so we had to invade to check out the cause and will stay here until we are sure the threat is gone". And then the issue will repeat itself until suddenly, Russian forces are stationed in Ukraine under the pretense of "Well we got shot at from within our own borders so we have a right to self defense". Russia will not be sending 100,000 troops in Ukraine all at once. It will be bitesized excuses that necessitate some form of occupation until they more or less annex mile after mile of land. This is ONLY of course if this is even their aim to invade.

[@wowomah6194]

You absolute dimwit. You clearly don't know the Yugoslav civil war history AT ALL. By the time NATO had used airstrikes against Serbia, Serbia had been bombarding Sarajevo from the hilltops for months and months and not listening to negotiations. It was NOT NATO "aggression" AT ALL. It was defending Croatia, Bosnia and Slovenia from being forced into a political alliance that they no longer desired to be part of and so each declared independence. It's just that, because Slovenia did not share borders with Serbia and because Croatia was in the way with a pretty comparable military to Serbia, Serbia was only really able to be militarily effective against Bosnia, since it is a VERY small country whose towns and and cities are surrounded on all sides by mountains or hilltops which were easy to position military forces on and fire down into the towns/cities. Serbia started that war, and NATO ended it. Period. There was no NATO aggression there. Get educated.

Germany needs to grow up and take its true place in the world. Its actions of 75 plus years ago were unforgivable, but it has paid its dues and served its penance and now it is time for it to get up off its knees. Putin is playing on German angst of its actions in the Soviet Union during WW2, but what happened has happened and can not be undone and now it is time for Germany to move on and act like a mature country with the 4th biggest economy in the world, which it has. Russia has a powerful military, but has nothing else of any significance at a world level and the reality is that Germany no longer owes Russia anything and should start to act accordingly.

[@wowomah6194]

This is EXACTLY what I've been thinking. I'm 28, but throughout my short amount of time on this Earth and the countless documentaries I've watched, Germany lost their backbone after WW2. They are the most powerful country in Europe, but act like they are everyone else's little brother. So much softness and indecision when, I would argue morally they have their hearts in the right place and are probably one of the most respectable European nations these days as far as self-awareness. But too much self-awareness turns into self-pity. Germany MUST STRONGLY back Ukraine and then this whole threat of war would be over. It would then turn into disputes battled out in the court room and in business offices rather than in towns and fields. Can you imagine the confidence it would bring to have German tanks and artillery stationed in Ukraine? Russia wouldn't touch that with a 1000 mile long pole.

They already have operatives there with some traitors inside Ukraine's parliament, and Poroshenko has just showed up in Ukraine again. Poroshenko had been living in Russia and funding Pro-Russian separatists to kill Ukrainians. Putin is going to try to install Poroshenko as a puppet President of Ukraine. If that fails, then he will invade. Ukraine and allies had better be prepared. President Zelensky had better pull all of his counter-intelligence resources together in order meet Russia's aggressive covert and cyber operations with a swift response and sniff out the traitors.

The US has led NATO to engage in five rounds of eastward expansion over the last three decades. The US won’t start a war with Russia or China, but it hopes to maintain a certain degree of tension and chaos in the surrounding areas of Russia/China. Hasn’t it kept creating the "China threat theory" and "Russia threat theory" and at the same time, tries to pit other countries up against the so-called ‘enemy’ to force Russia and China to retreat from their core interests and rise?
