Russian Army Spetsnaz Units Arrested Operating In Ukraine - Slashdot

That WW3 thread is looking more and more real. Special Ops are doing what they do best subverting society and laying groundwork.

This is invasion prep-work 101 if I ever saw it.

Planting the seeds of social disdain, collecting intel, locating key assets, and smuggling in first strike weaponry. Nothing that we haven't already been doing in a few other toppled nations recently....

Look how it all worked out for us, but also consider the Russians lack our fineness, when it comes to pulling lynch pins.

If I remember my history correctly, it looks like Putin took a page from Nazi propaganda...back in 1939 the Germans sent their special forces into Poland and took over a radio station and started broadcasting anti-German messages and creating a ruckus. They used that as support for their invasion.

Just advance recon forces for the eventual takeover of the whole country. Putin wants to be the next Stalin.

Interesting! I find interesting that Spetsnaz got caught by Ukrainian security forces. I'm not saying that the Ukrainians are sub-par, but this seems odd. I wonder if the Ukrainians had some "assistance" from the U.S? Maybe a SEAL Team or SF Group? Or possibly the SAS if it wasn't us?

I was wondering the same thing. Wouldn't be at all surprised if we had special forces there to "advise".

The official version from Ukraine is very different than your link.There is 0 mention of any Russian soldiers much less Spetsnaz.They arrested some people with illegal weapons,ammo,and explosives.They where most likely Ukrainian not Russians.Try to read a bit of history to understand what is going on.I seriously doubt Putin has any intentions of invading Ukraine.

Putin said "Keep the **** up outa my Spetsnaz..........my Spetsnaaaaaaaz!"

Or was that Ludacris?

Between this and all the troops building up at the border, seems likely that Putin wants more of Ukraine. They may try it politically as they did with Crimea but if it fails, they may just stroll in and take it.

As they did with the bite of Georgia they took when they invaded them a couple years ago. Take a bite of territory and warn the rest of the country to go along with Russia "or else".

And here we sit telling the world we are gonna reduce our fighting forces to pre civil war numbers? What did these brainiacs expect to happen?

Ain't nobody done nothing to make Vlad think twice about his next move. NATO stands for "Nothing After Two O'clock" these days, the EU likes Russian oil more than Ukrainian independence. The Ukrainians have put up less of a fight than the Kuwaitis did in 1990. This is a sad state of affairs. Oh, Kim the Latest is using the Sea of Japan as a rocket range and Barry is busy filling out his NCAA brackets.
