On April 29, pro-Russian separatists took control of the regional administration building in Luhansk, adding to their tally of occupied government buildings in Ukraine’s east. Local police stood by as the insurgents, backed by a crowd of about 3,000 protesters, seized the building. Additional buildings were taken over the city of Horlivka, Donetsk Oblast, and in Pervomaisk, Luhansk Oblast.

Though interim President Oleksandr Turchynov announced on April 22 that Ukraine’s military would restart its anti-terrorist operation in the east, Ukraine has been unable to stop separatists from taking control of cities in Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts.

100,000 march in Moscow on May Day to cheer Putin, Crimea.....The overarching theme was Russian pride over last month's annexation of Crimea. Putin, who did not attend, was saluted as a national hero.......A long stream of marchers held up signs saying "I'm proud of my country," ''Let's go to Crimea for vacation" and "Putin is right." Russian flags fluttered through the crowd.

Ironic that what happened in Kiev a couple of months ago is now happening again but a different part of Ukraine and with the opposite outcome.

There’s a huge difference between the two...Kiev was a violent Coup against a legal gov. .....what is happening in the East is opposing the current “illegal” government in Kiev and taking over their own domain so they have self rule.

Ironic, yes, but not unexpected.

I have pointed out regularly, how the Russians have learned from and adapted tactics used by the West in Serbia, Kosovo, Georgia, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, and Syria.

Too bad this stuff was good, ethical, moral and proper when used by the US, UN, NATO, the EU NWO, IMF Socialists, and went bad when the Russians started to use it.

The Russians didn’t have to learn squat. They’ve been doing this for decades. No need for excuses.
