The president of the self-declared pro-Russian People's Republic of Donetsk claimed on Sunday French military "experts" were joining separatist forces battling government troops in eastern Ukraine.

"Tomorrow, we will receive officers from France. They are specialists ready to fight with us," Alexandre Zakhartchenko said at a Sunday press conference.

For some reason my Muzzdar is going off!

Maybe these “French” are really Muzzies from France?

Spaniards as well are serving in Russian Separatist units. I listened to an interview with a couple the other day. Seems they are interested in helping Russia fight fascists, as Russians helped Spaniards fight Franco. Interview seemed “coached.”

These Spaniards also sported tattoos of Lenin and Stalin. Like the commie loonies of #OccupyWallStreet, but with more taste for killing.
