It ends when Pupin’ quits abusing his neighbor state’s sovereignty.

End of story.

I’d be very careful of a summit. Any compromise, will be a compromise regarding Ukrainian sovereignty.

That should not even be on the table.

Imagine the Ukraine sending mercs into Russia, then trying to set up a summit to compromise. No, Russia would demand it simply retreat and stop all hostilities.

Russia should work from that model, without a summit.

And don’t forget (I know you haven’t) that Russia has already gobbled-up a piece of Ukraine.

In a few months Kiev will forget Crimea and talk about some sort of Donetsk autonomy.

Being cold does that.

Crimea had autonomy before it was annexed, incidentally.

Well, unless Putin, the God of Putinista poltroons and pro-despot lowbrows, invades it’s all over but the Putinista crying. Sniff. Sniff

Careful. That site might be Nazi/Soros. Try flicking through some random twitter accounts if you want the real skinny.

Unsourced Twitter reports say that the Banderite/Nazi forces are on the run, and the rest are defecting to the Russian side.

There you go! Doesn’t that feel better? If you really want to get the buzz tho’, just keep telling everyone that ‘winter’s coming’.

Maybe taking out that column of Russian armor that was posing as “humanitarian aid” did the trick?

I am pleased that the Ukrainians look like they will be able to repel the Sov, er, Russians on their own.

After all, they can’t depend on us, memo or no memo

Poroshenko had better bring along his own food, cookware and cooks, and make sure that Putin can’t do anything more than shake his hand in front of cameras. Otherwise, he may be poisoned.

Maybe Ukrainians will just buy some of these:

They cost about 40 bucks at Walmart.

It would be really foolish to make any political settlement based on a promise or expectation of energy supplied by Putin.
