Here's a better photo after they put the tire fires out.....this is why Poroshenko declared martial Law....and with Kiev still having the same old government corruption as always it doesn't take much to rile the Ukraine citizenship.

You have that right! Martial law allows Poroshenko to suspend the elections that he is expected to lose in about 4 months. The people hate him because it's the same old corrupt governing bodies as before.

Like this fat hog...looks familiar does he not! Oleksandr Turchynov, now the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine....former Chief of Staff of the Maidan....even te dformer Chief of Staff of the Maidan

Speaking of fat hogs: When I was in Russia last summer I had a hard time finding a good selection of sausages to buy. Poland and the Baltics have a vastly superior selection of dried meats in their shops. You would think a huge country like Russia would have a good sausage supply chain but apparently, not.

Well I don’t know about sausage....but they’ve got a huge vast acreage of land in the south east with a million head of cattle as part of their efforts to make Russia self sufficient. It’s a stunning operation and supposedly the largest in the world.

The UN security council meeting was requested by both Russia and the Ukraine. But of course the Guardian lefties don't want you to know that.

In my opinion, Putin should drop a brigade of paratroopers on Kiev and bring the Ukraine back into the Rodina. The people will thank him in the end.

Time to arm those boats with anti-boat, anti-aircraft and anti-missile missiles and guns.

If fired upon, shoot to kill. Otherwise your Navy is just for Russian target practice.

Listen Porky, you have absolutely no chance of defeating Russia. Don’t poke the Russian bear. On the other hand, go for it. Russia will roll in, absorb you, throw out your fake Patriarch, and Ukraine will vanish from the earth. Think about it carefully.

Moscow has been busy building a bridge over the Kerch Strait and a railway upon that bridge. This bridge was deliberately built at a height that all but precludes Ukrainian commercial traffic from operating in the Sea of Azov, thus placing the port of Mariupol in economic jeopardy. And in another contravention of international law, it has declared that it will block any NATO attempt to send ships into the Sea of Azov, even if they are invited by Ukraine.

Russia's national waters around Crimea

Cool, steal territory then you also get to steal the waters around it... when everyone gets used to you having the stolen territory and waters, just take some more land, and any waters associated with that, too. Wash. Rinse. Repeat... tomorrow Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania...

” I have no doubt POTUS will not stand for Putin blockading the Azov Sea and shooting up Ukrainian Navy boats.”

Sure he will.

We have no interests there.

The question rises...... what does Putin want for return of the ships?

If it wasn’t for that US supported coup Crimea would still be part of Ukraine. But I guess they didn’t think of that possible outcome.

Do you get paid well to pretend that you're so stupid you believe that dumbazz BS?

Crimea was only part of Ukraine due to Khrushchev making it an administrative part of Ukraine as a political favor to his cronies. Crimea has tried to get out of being part of Ukraine a half dozen times since '91 but until the coup in Ukraine Russia wouldn't take sides on the issue of Crimea leaving the illegal seizure of Crimea from Russia in the first place.

Since the US, the EU, and the UN, all accept the "state" of Kosovo created by brute force and the votes of a half million quickly imported Muzzies, then questioning the right of Crimea to vote to leave Ukraine and become part of Russia is just blatant hypocrisy like the all the other hypocrisy that flows from the Hillybot and Democrap shills (including the democrap shills who pretend they're Republicans, Conservatives, Independents, or anything else).

Spew all the BS you like but people who bother to read and look at the facts know you're either a useful idiot of a paid shill.

Look around the world, there are a Hell of a lot of possible outcomes the same idiots who sponsored the coup in Ukraine didn’t consider.

So an isolated hostile maritime incident requires a somewhat free people to suddenly find themselves militarily occupied by themselves? Mmmmkay.

That's what I thought. But I'm assuming Ukrainian martial law isn't exactly what we think of martial law to be over here.

Martial Law:

When a government goes against its populace.
Something rotten in the state of Ukraine
