They have also been taking out bridges and paths to distribute weaponry.

The Donbass war began when Azov fighters were sent there by Kiev to shoot at and shell and otherwise harass their fellow Ukrainians 24/7. Would you rather that the ppl living in the DPR were totally defenseless against their attackers? You’re apparently okay with America supplying Ukrainian soldiers with weapons, but you have a problem when Russia does the same? 🤯

So citizen sourced Wikipedia is your credible evidence? Give me a break.

The globalist-backed Maidan revolution/coup occurred in February 2014. The Russian speaking Ukrainians in the Donbass weren’t happy that the democratically elected Russian-backed president was deposed and saw the writing on the wall for eastern Ukraine.

They held a referendum and voted overwhelmingly to seek independence from Ukraine. Poroshenko, et al, initially agreed to allow it, but then he changed his mind and sent in the Azov battalion to punish them.

Kiev has been treating the Donbass citizens abysmally for years and they were tired of it. So they did something about it, much like our forefathers 250 years ago. What is so objectionable about that?

You best pray that does not happen. Right now we have a proxy war. A full blown one when the US is in a mess internally would be a disaster.

Ukraine already has used US intelligence, data and weapons to strike inside Russia.

Our own dumbass government is bragging about it when they should be keeping their mouths shut.

Now Russia feels it has every right to strike weapons convoys heading to Ukraine that are in NATO countries.

The stupidity of our government in this war is heading toward disaster.

Give me a break. Even your early Russian separatist leader Igor Ivanovich Strelkov admitted Ukrainian locals didn't want to fight for "mother Russia"

In the video, Girkin, who was announced Friday as the “defense minister” of the “Donetsk People’s Republic” proclaimed by the separatists, sits at a desk in his camouflage uniform with no insignia other than the pro-Russian ribbon of St. George tied to his left sleeve. Reading from a statement, he is frustrated and even petulant. “I am going to say things you may not like, things that will insult your dignity,” he says to the people of Donetsk, “but they must be said.”

“When I was in Crimea [during Russia’s invasion in February and March] I was told that the Donetsk miners would rise up, they’d tear people apart with their bare hands,” Girkin says. “But now hundreds of thousands are calmly sitting in the comfort of their homes watching events unfold on television while drinking beer, waiting for an army from Russia to come and do your fighting.”

The few local men who have joined his militia are those aged over forty who were raised in Soviet times, and there is a complete absence of youth in his rebel ranks, Girkin says. “Where are the young people?” he asks, “Maybe in the gangs that are currently robbing, looting and wreaking havoc in the province?”

Russia, can't even interdict the weapons in Ukraine, you think they can credibly attack and sustain an attack against a NATO country?

I have never seen anything as awful and careless as what they are doing.

/\

Russia took out 5 substation in West ukrain. Most, 1000+ of their locomotives are electric,, ooops,, they have some 300+ diesel ones, those gonna be busy moving the electric doorsteps of the rails before the stuff can roll in from NATO.

NATO can’t just give Ukraine locomotives or moving stick cuz Soviet era railroad gauge is wider that europes, they can’t roll in Ukraine

Does NATO have a red ball express and the trucks and drivers to run one ?

Watch for Transnistria to be denied self determination

( rand paul you magnificent @@, you set the self determination trap and blinken walked right into it ! /-)

and it’s ammo dump ‘ liberated’.

Every one gets self determination except Transnistria ?
