broncepulido Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 One of my friends was doing a point-by-point prevision of the evenments on his FB, and all correct. On the other side, I was the other friday (21 February) afternoon in Madrid at Instituto General Gutiérrez Mellado, and none of the supossed researchers and top brass present thinked about the Russian invasión, but they were clearly ignorant of some important details, as Yulia Timoshenko jail and torture for a year and an half, or the Lvov/Lviv región previously part of Poland! It not was a surprise the "expert" forecast was disastrously erroneous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CV32 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Now I know how people felt in 1956 or 1968... the Russians will have Sevastopol. Yup, and at this rate, they'll have the whole Crimean region. Meanwhile, looks another Serhiy [Hayduk] has made a brave decision in the Ukrainian Navy.

CV32 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Mount Whitney and Taylor have left the Black Sea, the latter under tow, leaving only Truxtun in there. Bush CSG is at or near Antalya, Turkey. And the Russians have reportedly moved SSC-5 Bastion coastal defence missile systems into the Sevastopol area.
