PLEASE pray for Ukraine. Their military has much heart, but not have the technology, training and military supplies. They are facing mercenary Afghan/Kosevo hardened troops. I do understand patriotism. My own son wanted to enlist after 9-11. But, violence and death is such a waste of these young men. Please pray.. please pray

1 hour ago:
00:06 Activists have marched on the Verkhovna Rada, demanding that the central government take action to quell the uprisings that have spread throughout much of eastern Ukraine since April 6. The protesters are calling for the resignation of Interior Minister Arsen Avakov. Protesters in Kyiv and elsewhere have expressed frustration at the government’s reluctance to send troops to eastern Ukraine to combat the separatist movements that are devouring large areas of the country. - KyivPost

Does the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances that Clinton signed 12/5/1994 mean anything?

How long until an Obama world results in China reclaiming Taiwan? Poland, Estonia, go back to the Russians? The Faulklands go back to Argentina?

Alaska next?

Well... The Russians didn't really do any fighting in Kosovo. They just squatted on an airport for a while. And as for Afghanistan, are you kidding? The youngest of those Russian soldiers would be in their mid forties now. If there are any experienced Russian troops lined up on the Ukrainian border they got their experience fighting in Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia, Ossetia, and Georgia. Most of the fighting in those places amounted to homicidal policing, not combat. Pity the Ukrainian civilians if they do invade and the Ukrainian army can't repel them.

Ukraine was never united. Especially right now.

Mmmmmm, not sure they wouldn’t switch sides first.

Seesharp.. sorry I meant Chechnya. But, I am reading so many posts (thru GOOGLE TRANSLATE)
Right now literally ‘the call’ has gone out with lists of phone numbers to enlist. All ages are signing up.
PLEASE pray. Their weapons are outdated & few.

Zhang Fei You have to understand. Russian take over has been planned for 7 years. Putin had arranged for key figures to be put in place.

I am a Christian. I have faith in God, but my understanding of evil attacks my faith. PLEASE pray for Ukraine ot stay united

I understand the ethnic/economic divisions. Perhaps a comparable would be if Mexico invaded... oh that’s right they already are! But, seriously.

Putin is NOT well liked except by those on the take. Hitler was at first appreciated because of German’s shame & economic crisis following WWI. Well, Russia is similarly conflicted. You may not understand (or heard) that in Russia there is huge support (& protests) for Ukraine.

Obama is a muslim. He arms the muslim brotherhood and Islamist insurgents in Syria, but won’t have anything to do with sending arms to western Ukrainians.
Hey Congress, can we impeach him and dump him yet?
Oh I forgot, Harry Reid is too busy killing cattle and their calves so he can build worthless solar panels.

Yes, Seasharp. “Grizzled” old miners have already met in towns & determined to use explosives to avoid occupation by these “homeless.”
