Separatist leaders in eastern Ukraine ordered a full military mobilization Saturday amid a spike of violence in the war-torn region and fears in the West that Russia might use the strife as a pretext for an invasion.
Denis Pushilin, the head of the pro-Russia separatist government in Ukraine's Donetsk region, released a statement announcing a full troop mobilization. A similar announcement quickly followed from his counterpart in the Luhansk region.
Pushilin cited an “immediate threat of aggression" from Ukrainian forces, accusations that Ukrainian officials vehemently denied earlier.
“I appeal to all the men in the republic who can hold weapons to defend their families, their children, wives, mothers," Pushilin said. ”Together we will achieve the coveted victory that we all need."

Who cares? Not our war.
I wonder if Ukrainians know there is a war going on in the US and spend all day thinking about it?

No, I didn’t know that. Wonder what it’s about? Guess I could Google it.
Probably should read up some more on Kazakhstan also so I can talk intelligently on what’s going on over there.
Right now, pretty much all I got is beard critique.
