Hmmm, did I do that?
If Ukraine does nothing but plead for international support we should sit back and do absolutely nothing. A nation that will not fight to preserve its sovereignty does not deserve the title of or respect due a nation state. Georgia fought to preserve its sovereignty.
Looking like there was more than one carload of pre-marked ballots. There other 9 made it in from Pooty.
Give it no more than 48 hours and the two new ‘republics’ will be annexed to Russia.
The ethnic make up of Lukanak Oblast is 58% Ukrainian and 39% Russian. When the Russians come in and take over does anyone think it will remain peaceful very long?
96% voted for autonomy, roger that. I guess the election next week will be 100% want to join Russia. These folks are being given no time.
Ethnic separatists should be wiped out like cockroaches.
It seems to me that the Ukrainian government should immediately commence the deportation of Russians living on its soil. And that they be joined in this by all other nations in the region with any substantial populations of Russians.
It is just too dangerous to allow Russians to live on their territory any more. Granted, they should not widely publicize it, and even deny it if asked. But it must be firm and methodical.
Lose your Russians or lose your territory.
