talked about the need to intensify Ukraine's anti-terrorist operation against seperatists in the east while talking peace with Russia at the same time.

So he can talk out of both sides of his mouth at the same time.

Before this loud mouth does anything, he needs to get all those pro Ukraine billionaires together and contribute money to their armed forces who is trying to defend their Ukraine. On paper the Ukraine should have the third largest ground army after China and Russia. Problem is these rich politicians looted the gov budgets, result is the third largest army is short of basic infantry items such as helmets, uniforms, load bearing equipment, boots and even rifles with plenty of mags and ammo. I haven’t even started on modern stuff like body armor, night vision and tactical radios or moved onto larger items such as tanks and APC. A country like Pakistan is in better logistical shape then Ukraine. Once you establish a large and effective Army then Russia cannot take the rest of Ukraine, and the new Ukraine leader has military and political options. Vietnam taught the US one lesson, cannot win a war with an ally that wants you to do everything and their officers/leaders skimming the aid for themselves.

BIG fight going on, right now, at Donetsk Airport. The terminal can be seen to be on fire in several vids. lots of gunfire and explosions.

Rebels moved in last night to take control of it, and today Kiev has launched what looks like the biggest attack yet. Around 3 attack helos, and 7-8 transport helos, supported by two jets, landed at the airport a couple of hours ago.

Twitter is blowing up with pics and video of the op.

Tweets from Roland Oliphant, UK Telegraph:

644Am: There’s a fighter circling over Donetsk. Taxi radio says something’s burning at the airport

700Am: It is burning. Lots of smoke rising.

703Am:Apparently it’s the hangers (taxi cb radio, I can’t get much closer).

7:30 AM: Intense gunfire in bursts every few minutes

736AM: And the occasional thud that sounds like a mortar or smth. Guessing Ukrainian garrison is surrounded. Rebel gunmen on neighbouring streets

7:55 AM Really difficult to tell who is on the offensive here. Oh there goes a few big bangs.

809am: Someone flanked someone. Fight appears to have spread into streets south of airport north of train station. Gunfire heard from both sides.

0835am: Young rebel tells me it is definitely the Ukrainians on the offensive. But it is massively confused here.

0939am: One civilian killed at the station by stray fire from direction of airport. Must have been fired maybe a mile or more away.

0947am: Can still here gunfire from here ar the station, but distant. Choppers flying low

This proposed crackdown is likely the event Putin has been hoping to stir.

This will not go well for the government in Kiev.

To solve the terrorism problem, kill them early, and kill them all. Do not accidently kill anyone else, just terrorists.

When terrorists roughed up/kidnapped Russian diplomats, Russian special forces went in and killed the terrorists quietly one-on-one. Left their bodies on their doorsteps. In some cases, wives and children of terrorists too. After that, No Problem.

Learn this lesson well.

Liking this Porshenko already, moving fast to clean out the Russian terrorist scum in the east on day one. Any Russian on Ukraine soil that won’t salute the Ukrainian flag drop them on the Russian border.

Next sanction the crap out of Russia till they get out of Crimea.

Western investment can flood into Ukraine and the Russians can fight and rob each other at home.
