Have to ask also (if u don't mind) have you ever been near a "live" area, or something that was close to it? Live zone hear wasn't an actual firefight, but was near Cuba and picking up refugees, many who were career criminals released (thrown out) of Castro's jails.. His punishment for the US taking the legit refugees. Many had somehow acquired weapons.. Knives, machetes.. It was kind of scary for a kid when your turn came around to unload them from whatever they floated over on, then checking them for weapons, vastly outnumbered. |

You are finally understanding what we have known for months. |

What many have expected for so long is happening, the Ukraine will be split up with Russia's intervention. Russia just keeps saying, "we are not in the Ukraine." Foreign minister saying that the latest NATO images published to the media are from computer games. Putin says he has a duty to protect ethic Russians not living in Russia, at the same time he says he is not supporting the separatists in the Ukraine. The end game here is looking more and more like Russia will carve up the Ukraine, and western Ukraine will partner with NATO for protection. |

I have to wonder what constitutes evidence for anyone still believing Russia is not supporting or has troops in the Ukraine. Even the rebel commanders are saying Russian troops are fighting with him, but they are on "leave" haha... I guess you're not a soldier when on leave. Other Russian soldiers caught in the Ukraine were lost apparently. |

Ok so everything the USA touches turns into Iraq or Libya... yeah I seen that on RT News also. If we want to play that game again I suppose whatever Russia touches turns into Afghanistan, Chechnya or Georgia? Bring on the mass artillery bombardment to level towns and cities... |

You have to wonder what is Putin's ultimate strategy: regime change in Kiev, buffer around the Crimea, or complete annexation of the Ukraine (with complimentary democratic referendum where everyone votes to be a part of Russia)? |

Yes I know Russia helped rebuild those cities after they completely destroyed them (except in Afghanistan). Kabul or Baghdad would look the same pre and post invasion. Neither city looked anything like this...
But these are besides the point. My point was nobody can win the what-a-about game. |

I brought this point up only because Putin is saying the shelling in the Ukraine is similar to that of WW2. Afghanistan... I have read a lot of history on the conflicts there and it seemed to be a widely known fact that towns were shelled before entry by Russian ground troops. How far back do we go with this what-a-about game? WW2? I am pretty sure there were some countries better off afterwards and still today... |
