Ukrainian troops had time to prepare and reinforce the border. The morals are high, they are ready.

70 years ago this month the Soviet Union invaded Ukraine and killed thousands of Germans and captured thousands more,”liberating” Ukraine. History repeats??

Pooty took the measure of Obambi and found it safe to proceed.

Ukraine’s Military first of all is no match for Russia...the most Nato will do is send arms so they can fight to at least go down honorably if indeed that happens. At any rate the Eu?Nato have already determined they will not go to war over Ukraine nor Crimea.....unless all the talk is just that to confuse Putin.

Another interesting tweet: Euromaidan PR ‏@EuromaidanPR · 1h #Ukrainian ship “Cherkasy” crew trying 2 move sunk by Russian troops ships in #Donuzlav lake in order 2 get access 2 the sea -@Euromaidan PR Not gonna happen without heavy equipment. The Russians sank a cruiser there, not a barge, for a reason, I think.

I wish we had a President who would amass troops along our southern border.

Crimea was so obvious, I think he wanted Eastern Ukraine all along.

The Ukraine Russia border is over 1400 miles long.

WHERE along that border are these 20,000 troops? Despite the hysteria, 20,000 troops in a country as large as Ukraine isn’t going to do much. And I’ll bet they aren’t aligned toward Kiev.

Donetsk or Kherson, where there have been clashes between Russians and Ukrainian nationalists, however?

Yeah. Ignore 1933 too. Ignore the murder of many, many millions of people, so-called Kullaks. If you do that, and, if you ignore the horrors inflicted for hundreds of years before the 20th CEN, and if you ignore the post WWII Russian Soviet crimes inflicted on the Ukrainians, you can champion that Putin is the latest swell liberator. Of course, you'd be an ignominious and a philistine. But hey, we why not if you're in to low information propaganda.
