I think it’s instructive that the Russian dupes in Odessa ran away today. Despite their spiffy brand spanking new City of Odessa flags and traitor police support they ran like children rather than face Ukrainian patriots.
The local Russian dupes in Ukraine don’t seem to be made of much without their Team FSB back up thugs.
We can have armchair discussions about Maidin in 2013 but that stuff really doesn’t matter anymore. What matter now is what is happening in the streets of Ukraine. Ukrainians citizens are apparently deciding Ukraine is worth dying for.
Putin has a problem now. A big one.
After an appropriate bombing campaign some group outside of the Ukraine meet with all interested parties and will divide the country into multiple parts.
That's as likely a scenario as any other at this point because, no, the Ukrainians haven't decided their country is worth fighting for, they've decided their country is worth killing their countrymen over.
