Crazy fightings going on in the eastern ukrainian city of Donetsk. Fighting between pro and anti Russian. 1 but as much as 3 dead. As much as 50 injured.

Terrible news.

Glad to see you are still around!

Yup I always keep track of whats going on. When theres something, i will definately update here.

Russian army keeps on building up at the border. I expect to be very busy with updates soon.

If Russian troops do move in make a run for poland in total seriousness Russians dont care about civilian casualties in a miltary operation. If there was a sniper in the building they blow up the entire block. I dont believe the Russians will enter Ukraine but instead send in provocateurs from Russia instead but if im wrong they could use these clashes as an excuse to enter Ukraine. So be safe and be cautious.

... Look at afghanistan they got beat up bad by a bunch of nomads riding horses fought them to a stand still and eventual drove them out the country...

To be fair, some of them were carrying American supplied shoulder launched stinger missles while on horseback.

On the Media in the West going Quite

okay this is Pure Speculation on my part But.......
It’s an interesting point that the media in the West has been strangely and unusually non sensational on an issue that they could have devoured, I’m wondering what the real strategy is behind this is,is that in the last few years with the Governments of several countries being overthrown, the general consensus has become underwhelmed by these occurrences, so on this one that the media knows is a lot more potentially explosive, the story is yet to be harvested.
So if any last minute deal say was reached only to be broken down by the intervention of influences at present unknown, then the media could not be accused of over or under proportioning of its reporting to date this is, if the referendum date is even met or an escalation occurs before Sunday, then the media frenzy would also escalate with no doubt other bombshells interwoven.

Russia is not declaring war on anyone.

They are protecting the people.
Trying to prevent an escallation which John Kerry seems uncomfortable with pmsl.

I can't stand John Kerry he's desperate for a conflict.

I can't wait until a certain individual returns. Then we shall see.

Do NOT be Hasty. I've said it before and I will say it again.

You obviously know nothing of Kerry hes a pacifist to the extreme. You apparently know nothing about him but ill say go look at his testimony in front of congress on the vietnam war while he was in the military you'll understand. He basically ends up with a disdain for the military so my no means is he a war monger. Come on man do some research.

Actually, its his whey faced aversion to confrontation that has been encouraging Putin. Unfortunately for Putin, it is not up to Kerry to make the decisions.

Russia transfers nine warplanes to Belarus to ‘counter massing of forces on the border’

RT news

NATO is sending 12 F-16 craft in Poland, in the wake of the Crimea crisis, and Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski has asked for an even greater US presence. Baltic states have also requested military assistance from NATO.

I thought Poland was Americas friend?

A Ukrainian army colonel whose troops have been challenged by Russian marines for control of a Crimean air base threatened Thursday to open fire unless given new and formal instructions to hold off by his nation’s defense ministry, the UNIAN news agency reported.
“Being under constant pressure from Russian Federation army servicemen and local militia … we are acting on oral orders to hold on, not to give in to provocations and not to open fire,” Col. Yuly Mamchur said in a statement quoted by UNIAN news agency. “In case you don't provide corresponding decisions, we will be forced to act in accordance with Ukraine army statute, including opening fire.
“We have a clear understanding that we won't be able to resist the Russian troops prevailing in arms and preparedness,” he added, “but we are ready to fulfill our duty to the end.”

Just been catching up on the events of the past few hours or so...If the latest reports are true and 3 pro-Ukranian protesters have been killed by pro-Russian protesters then I believe it is morally right for the the US and the UK as well as other nations to provide military assistance to the Ukrainian government if Russia decide to advance further. Russia will obviously try to spin this latest incident and use it as an excuse to launch a likely invasion so if I was the Ukranian Prime Minister I would be on the phone to NATO requesting assistance immediately.

The 3 pro- Ukrainian protesters allegedly killed is not being mentioned in the media at all, at least not yet that I have seen. I think we know the reason, and where it would lead things..At least that is my opinion.

Nvm, looks like there is one news report 5 posts down.

Take one big big breath, exhale slowly, take a short walk, splash some water on the back of your neck, then come back here and answer the question:

Do you really want NATO to get involved there???
