    Need to secure the industrial Donets basin and then the Caucausis Oil Fields. Then capture Stalingrad.

    ."Russia warns Western allies to not interfere in crimes committed by Ukraine "

    Exactly what I said they would claim

    Appeasment will only provide temporary relief. Russia will be encouraged and moreso throw its weight around. Ukraine needs to stand firm. With hopefully intetnational support.

    President Obama didn't intervene to stop Russia's annexation of Crimea. I wonder what Trump will say.

    I must dust off my old copy of The Day After.

    I wonder how big a deal it really is, fighting at the front with the 'separatists' never stopped the last years, there's an exchange of fire every single day that's usually worse than this

    This is a direct military confrontation between two state powers. When was the last time that happened in the region. Georgia?

    I wonder what else Russia would be trying if NATO as we know it didn't exist and places like the Baltic states had little protection. People talk about EU integration being a bad thing, but it looks pretty rosy if the alternative is Russia pushing into Europe, or entering into economic domination by the U.S. or China.

    Sure. Of course the reverse could also be asked.

    I just think it's unfortunate that the world is stuck in the global power play of the 19th century, rather than working together to face up to the great global problems of the 21st century. But here we are.

    Is banging the drum for a European based military industrial complex going to move things along?

    No, other sources on twitter give differing accounts.

    Wouldn't trust anything dot.ru at the moment.
