This now puts us in direct involvement in a civil war. Another one... Hopey, Changey, and all that.
Let the fab EU countries take care of it.
So now that obama has Iraq in turmoil, he wants to bring down Ukraine. He’s leading the world into absolute destruction.
Within the next few weeks, a group of Defense Department representatives, who specialize in strategy and policy will head to Kiev to evaluate specific programs that the United States may want to help bolster, said Army Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman. Their objective is to work with Ukrainians to “shape and establish an enduring program for future U.S. efforts to support the Ukrainian military through subject-matter expert teams and long-term advisers,” he said."
...at least as much as a know deserter!
Sounds like Vietnam all over again.
‘advisors’...Uh huhhh.
I like THAT! We have all seen THIS movie before.
Well it’s one two three what are we fighting for
Don’t ask me I don’t give a damn
Next stop is the Maidan.....
AntiChrist
This is the kind of provocation that could prompt Russia to sweep into eastern Ukraine and be done with it. Throughout history Russia has been invaded through Ukraine, so having this strategic borderland fall into Western hands would be untenable for Moscow. Today the likelihood of anyone invading Russia appears absurdly remote, but nations do not base their strategic decisions upon current assumptions. Things change, and we are threatening the legitimate strategic defense concerns of Russia. Beneath the recycled Cold War jingoism, one is hard pressed to explain why the United States is entangling itself in a distant civil war.
Better rebuild OUR military before you go toe to toe with the Russkies, Barry.

What could possibly go wrong?
By OFFICIAL US involvement, Obama is setting the stage for the Russians to do the same, overt assistance to the rebels.
Up until now, it has all been “under-the-radar” unofficial stuff. Is anybody in DC using a brain??? This is one hell of an escalation.
Not really interested in US troops getting in a fight against the rebels but am interested in securing Kiev against Putin’s invasion, which I think is inevitable. Why would he stop at the Crimea? It is the domino effect all over again. First Ossetia, then Crimea, then Ukraine, Poland, ect...
