‘We Are Being Stormed’: Russian Forces Reportedly Attack Ukrainian Troops In Crimea, At Least One Reported Dead

I'm certainly not supporting what Russia is doing in Crimea but I'm also not buying the news reports that are coming out now.......

A military "storming" would certainly involve a hell of a lot more dead than just one.......

This is reminiscent of the attrocities that the U.S. was accused of when we went into Iraq.......

Yes, but Putin knows a lot about various active measures and constant armed heckling and sniping by uniformed but ‘unknown parties’ would be a good tactic to unsettle a garrison that is already effectively in enemy territory and pretty much cut off from their country. The Russians don’t seek a war but the evacuation of the Crimea by all Ukrainian military forces. If they keep up ratcheting up the pressure they probably will get the desired results.

Yep, most of the news reports are BS.

The best one so far was the one with the headline about Russian book burnings because some Ukrainian in the suburbs used a book to start a fire.
