Now, this is Russian news source - but since Western media are in full control of their regimes it is sadly, the only way to see other side of the story.

For me, personally, this is Deja vu. In 1991, this is how it started in former Yugoslavia. Nationalist came to power and than Croatian nationalists reduced rights of Serbs from being constitutional nation alongside of Croats - to status of minority.
Serbs setup barricades and Croatian regime enlisted “patriots and volunteers” in “special police units” - with “go-ahead” from US and NATO - they attacked Serb areas.

Alll this alll over again

If a competent POTUS were in charge, we would be arming and training the Ukrainian army, declaring Russia a Terrorist state, and going after Belarus and other Russian allies. We would also be scrapping arms treaties with Russia.

The weapons used by the unidentified pro-Russian forces are highly unusual. The reason being owning anything other than a shotgun in Ukraine is virtually impossible. Even the shotgun or a .22 requires paperwork and bribes most Ukrainians cannot justify or afford.

So where did the pro-Russians get weapons? The answer to that should be obvious. BTW, RT is a direct disinformation feed from the Kremlin.

Croatia. That was the second war Serbia started. And Kosovo was the third war Milosevic started. I remember going through Kosovo and seeing nearly all the roofs blown off of the houses. His troops would enter the empty homes, (the Kosovars had fled, remember) turn on the gas, and then toss a grenade in to them. The roofs flew off. Probably over half the homes I saw were like that. As you recall, he lost that war, too, like the others. Then, his own people overthrew him; he was indisputably a bad leader. He was like Putin, too. He’d been a commie, then when that viciousness racket ended he needed a new gig to justify his power. Again, like Putin, he wrapped himself in ultra-nationalism and ethnic chauvinism. I imagine you remember all of that, though. He had his cheerleaders too. But in the end, his own hubris brought him down.

Hey, do you remember how the Serbs were beaten in the war they started in Slovenia?
