Obama administration officials said Thursday that Russia is firing artillery from its own territory into Ukraine to hit Ukrainian military sites, pointing to escalating Russian involvement in the deadly conflict.
This clearly is a military escalation, Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren said, adding there is no question that Russian militaryas opposed to Russia-backed separatistsare firing the shots.
State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf first made the accusation during a press briefing earlier Thursday. She also claimed Moscow is boosting its military shipments to pro-Russian separatists.

The Ukrainians are not like his usual victims who cower and don't fight back.
“I don’t see any videos though. Just photos that he took of his artillery.”
There is a video out there in the ether, as well.
“The Russkies don’t use facebook BTW”
VK/Facebook...
One and the same thing...
Your child-like insults don’t make you look ant=y less biased...
If Putin wants to take over the Ukraine by the end of this year with no opposition from the West, all he has to do is time Russia’s rocket attacks to coincide with Obama’s fund-raising speeches around the country, which will continue until the November elections.
Putin can be confident that Obama will not cut his fundraising visits short to return to the White House in order to deal with missiles exploding on Ukrainian cities. For Obama to do so would look so un-cool, which, in Obama’s adolescent mind, is the worst possible thing that can happen.
During Obama’s long vacation at Martha’s Vineyard next month, the Russians can time their attacks to coincide with the start of Obama’s golf games. Obama would never stop a golf outing for any reason, probably even including a terrorist attack on an American city. It would destroy his all-important façade of calmness, which must be preserved at any cost.
VK is not facebook. It is an entirely different company, the Russkie ripoff version.
Careful, the more frenzied you get, the more typos there are.
The Russkies will get away with it. The Euroweenies are pathetically weak, and Obama isn’t going to do anything serious. We must pray for the Ukrainians. If they have God on their side, it doesn’t matter how much of an army Russia throws at them.
The Ukrainians have fought valiantly against the Russians and the Kremlin puppet Presidency. And there will be a long and costly guerilla war if Putin does a fully on invasion, but the Ukrainian military equipment would not last long in regular warfare against a full on Russian invasion.
I cannot stand her or the other State Dept. bimbette. All the leftists do is mock their nemesis, Sarah Palin. The actual losers are all in this evil administration.
I saw the post the day the shooting occurred.
Day late.......
But hey, he gets all the Intel at his daily briefing. Why lead when you can follow?

- This statement reminds me of when athletes claim victory over their opponents because “God was on their side”. What sophistry.
-You seriously believe that God, (if he really does exist), cares who wins this conflict?
-Tell that to the families of the 295 poor souls who were just shot out of the sky by the Russian rebels.
If you are just an atheist, there is not much we can talk about.
If you’re just a Deist, who believes that God does whatever you want Him to do, whenever you and a couple friends pull His chain with a prayer , then you’re right; there’s nothing logical (or intelligent) to talk about.
Carry on.
A Deist? Deists do not believe God does anything anymore. He just made the world and left.
As for "who believes that God does whatever you want Him to do." That is just your blasphemous attack against prayer in general, which I certainly do not agree with.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-My definition of " blasphemy" is when puny human beings such as yourself, who pretend to know God's will, claim prayers to God will grant *your* side victory in war. The logical conclusion is that your belief is that God's will is to kill any opponents in war, because you prayed for victory, and its God's Will that it will turn out *your* way, no matter how many innocent people on both sides are killed to get that victory. If that's your version of righteousness, then, I guess it's just a matter of which side prays the hardest. Looks like the opponents are praying for victory, also. This is truly a conundrum for your "just war".

Hmm..., Does that mean Obama will increase the pressure on Putin? We know he’s sending MRE’s.
ooohh.. maybe he will send some boots
