The first casualty in any war is the truth.
There was more of that going on than shooting. Actually, there was no shooting.
So if I dress like a camouflage ninja, hot chicks will flock to me?

“Five top military, security commanders take oath to Crimea
The head of the Security Service of Crimea Petyor Zima, Chief of Department of Internal Affairs in the Crimea Sergey Abisov, the head of Service for Emergency Situations Sergei Shakhov and acting Chief of the Border Guards of Crimea Victor Melnichenko all took an oath of allegiance to the people of Crimea.
Earlier rear admiral Denis Berezovsky swore allegiance to the people of Crimea taking control over Crimea’s newly formed Navy.
The ceremony took place in the Council of Ministers chamber in the presence of regional government officials, mayors of different cities and regions.
Those who took the oath promised “to respect and strictly observe the Constitution of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea” and to “promote the preservation of interethnic accord and civil peace” on the peninsula.”
Why are articles vanishing on FR about CT.
Sorry, but the situation is likely more complicated than either side admits. IIRC, the eastern half of Ukraine is pro-Russia, the west is pro-Europe....
Lurch is going to Kiev today, but the government there is foolish if it trusts anyone associated with Team Obama.
Good morning Nachum. Thank you for posting this article. I received an email from a Russian friend in Saint Petersburg yesterday. It gives the other side of how the invasion is viewed by liberty loving Russians. She wrote, complete with grammatical errors:
“Please, Don,t worry about me. This is a troubled times really. People is Russia are separated as well about Putin,s plan.. Here are protests against and for his decision.. Interesting that the motto is the same - for Free Ukraine and for friendship !
. “If he wants only to sober up the wild nationalists and Russophobians in Ukraine and to let them know that Russians are under protection.. This is ok. If he wants using this excuse to start a war between Russians and Ukrainians for Crimea and the East part.. This is insane and extremely dangerous. It was fatal Khrushchev,s mistake for both countries when he gifted traditional Russian territory - Crimea - to Ukranian Soviet republic.. It was a bomb, that is ready to blow up..
“We are still free here to talk openly the point of view.. I don,t know how long .. I am afraid another iron curtain from both sides.. From inside and from the West as a punishment for Russia. I read yesterday The Us State secretary Kerry said about possible limitations or stopping receiving visa for Russians..well. Anything can happen in such crazy world.
“I have to go to work . The day will be long and busy.”
This is from a female doctor. We have exchanged several emails leading up to this exchange.
