Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.
With the Russians already firing artillery at Ukrainian forces for weeks, their involvement is beyond doubt.
Obama administration: Russia firing artillery at Ukraine military targets | Fox News Pity Ukraine. At least this should drive Eastern Europe further away from Russia. |

Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.
Pretty amazing coincidence that Ukraine had the rebels backed up in Donetsk and Luhansk, seemed to be losing rebel support, then the aid convoy came and now Ukraine forces are losing the battles. There must have been a lot of Popeye's spinach in those crates!

Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.
Like Paul Ryan said, "The vacuum is created and is going to be filled by those who do not share our interests. And that, ultimately, makes America less prosperous and less secure. And I think that is why we're seeing the foreign policy crises pop up around the world."

Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.
Really ought to change the thread title to:
Hey There is a war between Ukraine and Russia - LOOK a Squirrel There have been prisoner exchanges, tanks and battallions on both sides (I count pro Russia as Russian at this point) and 2- 300 combatants dying every day or two. |

Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.
Russian Times correspondent @PaulaSlier_RT The "Novorossiya Army" claims self-defense fighters have destroyed two #Ukrainian #tanks and two armored personnel carriers.
Heavy Russian slant but on the ground live tweets in Donetsk takes serious guts. |

Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.
I hope this is good news.
Ukraine's president confirms signing of ceasefire deal What would everyone here consider the right outcome/ realistic outcome? I would hope most everyone would agree the right outcome should be the full restoration of Ukraine sovereignty including Crimea. But some might add monitored referendums to allow for joining with Russia or more regional federalism under a loose Ukraine flag. As for realistic, sadly I think Russia will create a client state stretching from Odessa, through Crimea and up to the Donetsk Luhansk region. Pretty chilling for Ukraine's economy as they lose all access to the Black Sea. |

what I think the wrong outcome will be is any outcome forced by the US or Russia. unfortunately, if i was a betting man and the wage was available in Vegas I'd fly out there tonight and put everything I own on the latter happening. |

Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.
Putin assassinates people. The Poland president's plane mysteriously went off a runway in Russia a few years ago and he was killed.
Exclusive: Russia masses heavy firepower on border with Ukraine - witness as anticipated, Maripul will eventually be taken and Russia can complete their land grab. ohhhhh man are we gonna slap them with sanctions or what!!! maybe target their dairy industry this time? (sarcasm but cant think of another option, i do not want war or boots on ground) |
