You are right. There are still Ukrainians who were alive during the “Holodomor” Stalins famine. Russians are not all that popular in Ukraine
Things may not go thermo-nuclear, but it is all up to Putin and our clown in DC between now and March 25.
What happens on March 25?
To see the danger, up close and in extreme detail. View the following video. The second half is taken from a safe spot and records the advance of the protesters on an unknown and unseen objective. There is the sound of constant rifle fire. The fire is effective because many are hit. Most of those hit apparently die.

And yet they continue to press forward and then die some more. They abandon one route of attack and set up a larger front behind moveable barricades and then die some more.
They are advancing armed with shields, some captured from the police and others home made from street signs or plywood. Some have made shin armor from cardboard and duct tape. They press on and then die.
I have viewed a lot of war footage but this is the best. It details a long engagement and records the perhaps foolhardy bravery of those seeking to oust the government.
Barack Obama should quiver in his boots when he sees what could happen to him. Perhaps we should take notes
The weapons are barricades, gas bombs and tires. The gas bombs prevent the police movement. Once stopped the burning tires provide a smoke screen and cover. Then the barricades of what ever is at hand stop the police advance .
When these simple tactics are followed the crowd can then gradually advance on the police. The beginning footage shows how they advanced on the yellow building in gradual steps until they were there and the police fled.
That is the least of Obama's worries. For the most part, the American people no longer have the will to be free. The spirit of freedom has been replaced with the spirit of degeneracy and perversion. The spirit of independence has been replaced with the spirit of slavery. The people have traded their freedom for a bowl of Government stew. They have exchanged the worship of Almighty God for the worship of perversion and degeneracy.
This was demonstrated in the election of 2012 when, on national television the members of the Democrat Party booed the mention of God not once but three times in succession. Yet the representatives of that party received the majority of votes cast. The people in power forbid the mention of the name of God, but yet encourage sexual acts between men and men and women. They profane the institution of marriage that was ordained by God by applying it to two men or two women.
No, worries about what is happening in the Ukraine are the least of Obama's thoughts. He looks out of the window of the White House he occupies and smiles at the moral condition of this Nation. And his chest puffs with pride as he realizes the extent to which he is worshiped.
The ongoing attempt by Pooty-Poot to reoccupy Ukraine is crumbling — and as in Syria, the pro-occupation mouthpieces steadily blamed foreign influence for the uprising. The only foreign influences in Ukraine are the Russians. Thanks Jeff Head.
Excellent work, Jeff. Thanks for doing the research and putting it together for us.
I hope you are having an especially good day today.
Thanks Jeff
Thoroughly enjoyed reading “If I were President”.
If you were a mind, I would work on your campaign.
Thank you for that, Jeff!
Empire is the natural condition of mankind.
Wilsonian progressivism has sparked catastrophe upon catastrophe, as people of small and weak nations are misled into rebellion by the false gods of “international norms” and “international law”.
The only international law is that the strong rule the weak. When the strong withdraw, the killing starts. Eastern Europe, the Balkans, the Levant, Arabia, North Africa, Subsaharan Africa above all.
I hope the Ukrainian rebels don’t believe that there will be help from West of L’viv when the tanks roll in.
The Russians will NEVER give up control of the Black Sea naval ports. NEVER. That is a real “red line.” Note the % of ethnic Russians in Crimea and especially in Sevastopol.
Only as long as the govt forces are not willing to unleash belt fed weapons.
Which becomes problematic for a regime in the era of 24/7 news coverage.
In Venezuela, gunfire has been accompanied by a media and internet blackout, and since our MSM favors the socialist regime there, and is not covering the situation like the Ukraine, the Madura regime is winning.
In Iran, the regime crushed equally brave street riots.
Ukraine is lucky to have the world’s attention. They are not so lucky in overlooked Venezuela, and they were not so lucky in Iran either.
Thanks Jeff...
Bert, these are brave people...fighting for their freedoms and rights. They keep holding their position and dragging their wounded and dead comrades out of the line of fire even as more of them go down in the attempts. Every God-fearing and liberty loving American should see this video.
God bless these brave Ukrainians!
They desperately need return and suppressing fire on those gunning them down.
Would to God that a whole lot of our 300 million hunting rifles and firearms in these United States were in their hands. The existence of those weapons is the primary reasons the bastard politicians in this country do not try the same here. If they do, they will rue the day and be hanging from lampposts.
Maybe the deal is Russia gets the Crimea and the Donetsk region in exchange for Ukrainian independence.
Did Romney lose because of an ineffective campaign, or because too many people would not vote for him given his liberal record as governor, or because of his religion? Or was the election stolen?
It's not beyond possibility that an honest count of votes would have produced a Romney win in the electoral college. If so, we already know the outcome in 2016 and 2020--either a Hillary win or a win by whatever Democrat is nominated in 2016 (if her health prevents her from running).
I would say that it was a combination of everything you stated. And that your opening paragraph is also true. Obama, like the Clintons is not the problem. He, like the Clintons is the symptom of the problem. The actual problem is the people that would someone of the caliber of a Clinton or Obama to lead them as opposed to a relative honest person.
Excellent map. It shows all that needs to be known of Russia’s interests.
