On Friday, Paul Picard, the head of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), said during a press conference in Rostov-on-Don that observers haven’t noted any movement of military equipment along the Russian-Ukrainian border since the beginning of their mission, saying, “The OSCE hasn’t seen movement of military equipment from our border point [of observation]”. He noted that since the end of July, observers saw airplanes, helicopters, and drones fly along the border, stating, “We observed their movement, but didn’t see them fly into the Ukraine, so they didn’t cross the border”. On 22 October, OSCE deputy spokesman Natacha Rajaković said that the OSCE Permanent Council extended the monitoring mission’s mandate on the border for another month. The EU also supported the idea of expanding the mission to several Russian checkpoints, however, Moscow said that Russia maintained control over all of its checkpoints and didn’t deem the mission’s expansion necessary.

What with the dropping temps, the ground is starting to harden. There may be an attack next week, as the junta forces are totally in the hands of their American “advisors”… both the Republicans and Democrats would want action before November. The Republicans want an utter failure that they can blame on President Obama… the Democrats want a victory that they can use as a trophy “coonskin” to up Dem chances in the election. The worst outcome for both would be a stalemate (the most probable result). It wouldn’t be either a victory or a defeat… it’d just be a fizzle. However, since the Uniate junta is an American organ-grinder monkey, the chances of such an attack are high. I think that the patriots are ready for them…
