Remember that a lot of ethnic Russian soldiers in the Ukrainian army have defected so the "idea" that they have military manners and are from Russia proper is pure propaganda.

Just like this "pretend president of Ukraine" and his cohorts instigated the coup, so to, they continue to cry wolf...and the US keeps giving them bandaids in the form of CASH. Suckers we are.

Ooops. Thought these were BLM, at first. Sorry.

And, no. The photos don't "prove" anything. Could be a Russian special op, but most look like weekend nazis playing dress-up. It's an insult to American bikers to call them 'bikers,' but...

We’ve got mercernaries (whatever they call Blackwater now) in the Ukraine; I’m sure the Russkies do too. The question is whether they are working for Moscow or Donestk. Donestk won’t be able to pay them much, but they could be doing it for the patriotism.

I would not be surprised at all if Russia wasn’t covertly supplying self-defense forces in eastern Ukraine. There are a lot of Ukrainian military units that have joined the separatist side. What is clear is the local uprisings have reached the point now where putting them down by force risks massive loss of life.

The Maidan regime in Kiev along with its Western backers are completely out of touch with reality. And they have been since February. And threatening Russia with more sanctions won’t change at all the fact that Ukraine is on the verge of breaking up.

According to a New York Times article, the photos and their descriptions were "endorsed by the Obama administration". Distributing the images, the US state department said they confirmed the "connection between Russia and some of the armed militants in eastern Ukraine".

Obama endorsed, state dept. confirmed? It must be true then, as they have as much credibility as Baghdad Bob.

Barack Ozero credibility.

I saw one of the older bearded guys and said to myself “Hey that’s my brother”. But then I thought he’d be out fishing rather than get involved in that mess.
