Apparently still laying the groundwork for their own planned military intervention, the US government has invented a narrative of massive Russian artillery strikes against Ukrainian military bases along the border.
State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf introduced the story to the press at today’s briefing, claiming that the US has secret evidence from “human intelligence information” that the attacks are taking place. The Pentagon concurred, saying such attacks have been going on “for several days.”
During the past several days, there has not been a single report out of Ukraine of an artillery strike against any of their military bases, anywhere in the country. The last such incident was two weeks ago, when rebels fired a BM-21 grad at a military base.
And this is Ukraine we’re talking about, which comes up with its own dubious stories of Russian attacks on a near daily basis. If Russia was carried out concerted shelling against Ukrainian military targets, Ukraine would be harping on about it constantly. They aren’t even alleging anything close to that is happening.
The latest invented story appears to have been produced primarily as a replacement for Harf’s increasingly debunked allegations surrounding the MH17 shoot-down, a talking point which has gained her no small mocking in the press over the past week, as she directly contradicts the US intelligence community’s own releases on the matter.

Harf’s latest allegations included the phantom artillery fire and secret evidence of Russia planning to maybe send a bunch more weapons to the rebels. One member of the assembled press, humorously, asked if there was “a YouTube video or something that you can point us to,” calling back to Harf’s regular use of social media as “proof” for her claims.

After the known known's or unknown knowns and the fool me once shame on ..what ever gang , the state dept.may never recover the trust we the people once had . Does the term pic's or it didn't happen ring a bell ? They will never repair the story of Ukraine until they come clean but I wont be holding my breath on that one . The Nuland phone call was the clincher for me .

Reportedly today Lysychansk has fallen to Kiev forces. Next is Horlivka as a launching pad to Donetsk
Situation is not good it seems for the rebels.

IFF the information you showed there is correct, then it means without further doubt. That it was the Ukranian government that shot down MH17, as the plane was flying over their territory. Not the "rebels".
As I said in another forum, Putin is playing Saddam Hussein here ... he's literally stupid if he doesn't turn these events around. Even as we speak, the US is trying to get the Russian mafia to work for them ... in an anti Putin scene (Cyprus).

How do you figure when the Ukraine army just captured this land after the plane was shot down? Your post lacks logic as the plane fell in rebel territory and they recovered the black boxes.

It's logical reasoning ... every scenario, wherever it is. Is a scenario that has pro's and con's. It's like a coin you throw out.
When MH17 was down, it was an opportunity for Ukraine. An opportunity they were "ready" for and took advantage off, within a minutes notice.
Whoever gains from it, is the cause of it ... because in the above scenario, it's no longer a random event. It's an event that happens, with people ready to take advantage of it ... and those who took advantage of it, and were ready to ... are the ones who orchestrated it.
How they orchestrated it, is irrelevant.

The fact that 'infamous' Malaysian Airline was chosen is an evidence in itself.
This airline got famous in the earlier flight that was lost in Asia. This means whoever shot it down wanted the maximum attention from world to benefit from.

Great now prove it. The "proof" the other poster offered is not only not proof, it's accepted as false by all parties involved.

No use trying to make a case or proving anything. Those things are for the post war peace times.
Real focus should be to getting heavy weapons and more muscle to the rebels on the front. If Donetsk falls, Putin's move for DPR is pretty much done and dusted. I am sure he is not stupid to sit idle and provide only little help.
