Kiev Attacks: War Imminent in Ukraine!

• “Everybody could smell that the US and NATO were trying to bait the Russians coming in early, which would then validate their “invasion” scenario. We see it is Kiev and US doing the invading, and what is worse, doing it right after they had signed a de-escalation agreement.” – Quote

• Kiev attacks: War imminent in Ukraine! 
  by Jim W. Dean, http://www.presstv.com/ 
  Ukraine has finally launched its so called “anti-terror” operation in the East. We have had our fingers crossed after the stand-down that seemed to be in effect over the Easter holiday, despite Turchinov’s immediate call for a crackdown on Eastern protestors as soon as the four-party talks agreement was signed.
  –
  That the West considered them a charade was further evidenced by Kerry so strangely stating that he would hold Russia responsible for making the protest movement fulfill the “de-escalation agreement.” But as often happens in these situations, parties “agree” to something and then interpret it however they want afterward.
  –
  In the present case, it seems that de-escalate means to reduce the East Ukraine protests by military force, and effect an occupation through the planned early elections. The US has already stated it would accept them as valid without knowing what the conditions were going to be.

  While the US had seemed to be reigning in Kiev during the early part of the week, the independent Intel community was concerned that they were just using the time to carefully deploy and collect Intel on the main protestor strongholds. All US Intel assets, of course, have been at Kiev’s disposal for some time now, including those of the contractor forces already operating inside the major protest cities.

  We learned this morning that we were right. During the night Ukrainian special forces retook the city hall in Mariupol, which was an easy place to get started. Interior Minister Arsen Avakov claims that it is now liberated without any casualties.
  –
  This confirms that no terrorists were there… no shooting, no IED’s planted along the expected routes, and no Russian Spetnaz teams to deal with armor, surround, cut off, and capture Ukrainian troops to put on display that they were forced to attack. The absence of all of this shows a new, evil kind of terrorism… the kind you can’t see, “stealth terrorism”, a much different version than the US’s full-display terror model being used in Syria.
  –
  Following the Mariupol operation, the main Kiev push seems to be focused on Slavyansk, with armor units beginning to attack checkpoints on the outskirts of the city, also easy targets as they cannot really be reinforced. The Ukrainian Interior Ministry describes the operations thus:
  –
  “During the anti-terrorist operation, three checkpoints erected by illegal military groups have been destroyed in the northeastern part of Slavyansk,”… “At least five terrorists have been killed. One policeman was injured.”
  –
  Following the easy takeover of Mariupol with no resistance, Kiev knew the checkpoints would be defended, and they would get the shooting incident needed to give them some cover for dealing with terrorists. The checkpoint guards only had their expected small arms. Real terrorists would certainly have mined the road approaches after all of this time and had some anti-armor capability. We have not seen a single RPG in any photograph.
  –
  If the secret invisible Russian army was really in East Ukraine, would it have prepared these checkpoints to defend themselves? From the photos coming in, we see that the Ukraine Army’s equipment is more modern than what the new recruits were thrown in with as cannon fodder last week. Kiev had hoped to trigger a massacre. But the young troops knew they were being used as tiger bait and many surrendered.
