“”They haven’t fed us for three days on our base. They’re feeding us here. Who do you think we are going to fight for?,” he said.”
Meanwhile, the planeloads of American MRE’s are being sold on the Internet, and by vendors on the streets of Kiev.
A perfect example of the corruption that is tearing Ukraine apart.
“Israel and Russia are getting along. Have the neocons noticed?”

One side has the will, military power and leadership; the other has rhetoric.
And people laughed about the protests led by babushkas
Have the Ukers put up even one fight yet, other than pushing and shoving and name-calling? Evidently they have nothing worth fighting and dying for?
It would be interesting to find out how many of these people are ethnic Russians. During Yugoslavia’s wars of partition, the army broke up into its ethnic components almost from the start. Slovenes, Croats and Bosnians quickly hived away into the Territorial Defense units (i.e. their equivalent of National Guard units), bringing their equipment and ammo with them, or remained as agents-in-place in the Yugoslav People’s Army. It may be necessary for Ukraine to disarm and demobilize the ethnic Russians currently in the its military.
Another difficulty lies with Ukrainian soldiers who are married to ethnic Russians, and therefore susceptible to being suborned.
The Maidan regime can rely only on Western Ukrainian army units who would be fighting in hostile territory. The point is it can’t enforce its sovereignty. And its understandable why officers and soldiers from Dnipropetrovsk are unwilling to fight and die for them.
All of these “pro-Russians” need a diet of propelled lead...
