“Are you volunteering to lead the 82nd into Ukraine?”

To be fair, there already are volunteers in the 82nd. Why have armed divisions if they are not used to defend freedom?

I would not spend a drop of American blood in Ukraine. That is McAmnesty , Karl Rove and Walrus face Bolton crap. CLOSE DOWN THE MEXICAN BORDER!! Fight and die for that!!

Today Ukraine, tomorrow Poland, the next Japan.. I’m sure you know how that ends.

Doughty, Imf/US told Kiev Gov. they had to use their military and fight in the East or the $17 Billion would be "redesigned"....they've now reconstructed the rules of engagement for their military, so that they can s 20 minutes ago...

Update!!!! on Sloviansk battle... confirmed..... they managed to shoot a helicopter down and forced another to land in emergency landing....Sloviansk where battle has been going on for last hour or so...

[caww]

Kiev Military launched an attack on Slovyansk at 4 am ....one helicopter down...other forced emergency landing.....

Sirens sounding...people told to stay in homes,

It would seem to me that it would be a normal result of the loss of the Eastern part of the Ukraine, that these policies would change. Do you think the IMF/US should keep their monetary outlay the same if the Ukraine splits?
