More from Artemovsk...
Nat Guard called the local militia Commander in for negotiations about the base, then shot and killed him.
Fighting still ongoing, according to Twitter.
Supposedly, he was a local businessman.
Interesting video...
The rebels have gotten several of those WW2 Soviet Amphib AFV’s they found in Donetsk running, and are moving them to the fight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSTjPe8dO3s
United States keeps talking to them and “training” them how things need to work but IMO it's like talking to a wall of non-comprehension. These people have their own way of settling matters...and it's all about who wins... period.... No compromise...they simply don't know anything else.
I truly do not see Ukrainian people being more than what they have been...even under this New President.
The same thing happened in Egypt....your talking to suppressed people...they simply can't grasp what freedom and democracy is. ....they are accustomed to being told how things are going to be. There's no way these two sides can come together...there simply is no trust...in fact just the opposite,a continued pattern of failure to establish this. This is also why Obama is not conceding anything in Ukraine, it's his way or the highway. His upbringing and formative years, as well as college years, IS his foundation which he's governing with...and why his comprehension is so bad about International affairs and really what democracy is...he's never lived under it while growing up.
