From Defense Industry Daily:
• The U.K. released photos via Twitter showing Pantsir-1/SA-22 anti-aircraft systems rolling through rebel-controlled Ukraine. The SA-22 was never fielded by Ukraine and almost certainly came compliments of the Russian government. The Foreign Office calling out Russia via Twitter may indicate that the alternative to diplomacy isn't force after all. To do harm to Zhou Enlai's famous quotation: "All social media is a continuation of diplomacy by other means."
The Economist's analysis of Poot-Poot is that either he is "bad, mad or sad".
By bad, he is a bad guy trying to get control of territory, and the Baltics are next.
By mad, he isn't thinking this through clearly - the war in rustbelt Ukraine isn't exactly prime real estate.
By sad, the oil-reliant Russian economy is in the toilet, and sad, so this is all a big nationalistic "look over there, nothing to see here and anyway its all the West's fault".
Or maybe he is bit of all three.
