Cool.

Denis found a new job that leverages his background in shady enterprises.

Star play, man.

Maybe we should start a drone lend lease program with Ukraine.

I try to follow this situation from afar, from the view of studying history as it unfolds.

The only thing impressive about Ukraine so far is that the government and organization of Donetsk seems to be quite competent. I do believe their pronouncements of not using official Russian help, with all of the defections from the Ukraine military and the gear and knowledge of the region they have. Then there's the element in the military Ukraine still has that will not fire on countrymen or babushkas.

That attack on the checkpoint was ill conceived, but what has Kiev done right since the coup?

That's just my take on things. My heart breaks and I pray for those who were killed and their families, in the first few hours of Easter Sunday.

It's the kind of stuff that inspires revolutions. JMHO

Federalization will eventually come for Ukraine. It’s the only option short of Putin taking over parts of the nation. Imo.

I think currently even the Governors.Mayors are not elected in Ukraine, rather appointed by Kiev. So federalization would give them some degree of control over their areas. Rather like we have states here.

“DNR” is appropriate.
