I have to admit to being slow on this issue. I hope someone can give me the ten cent version of who is attacking whom and why. Thanks in advance.
Ukrainian forces, possibly army, are attempting to retake the government buildings seized by pro-Russian provocateurs to restore order before the upcoming election.
The Russian leaning locals call it Slavyansk. They are apparently being attacked on May1, by the Kiev coup, who call it “Slovyansk”. And a bunch of decent innocent people are caught helpless in the middle.
Just like the last time Nazis attacked there. And just like last time, there will certainly be a Russian counter attack. And the locals will be caught up in that too.
By the time its done, we will have NATO deciding to fight a war with Russia somewhere around Kursk. All so the EU can avoid market conditions for gas that they imposed on them selves. They don’t like Russian conditions, so instead of drilling, prevailing upon Obama to drill, building more nukes and coal, they are moving to politically gain control of the Russian gas industry.
Of course, in this eastern front reenactment, the EU will barely lift a finger, and the USA will wind up in this insanity. Will Germans fight in Ukraine? What a joke, they’ll all go into paralytic, catatonic guilt induced shock. The British? They actually have more Generals than they do tanks,,,Literally! The French? Yeahhhh sure.
But no matter what form this takes, the one thing nobody gives a tinkers damn about is the well-being of the average Ukrainian. The EU wants gas and NATO advancing to the Russian border. Russia wants a buffer from Euro invasions. All wax holy about Ukraine, as they both will blow the place to smithereens.
Oh,, and im sure along the way Obama will declare a national emergency, and we will all have wage and price controls and rationing. And a draft to build up forces to,,(can’t believe im saying this) fight on the eastern front.
Ukrainian forces reclaiming government buildings and removing Separatist thugs and Russian GRU off Ukrainian territory. Problem is, the Russians have been waiting for this attack which they provoked in the first place. We’ll see what happens next.
