WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States said on Thursday that Russia was firing artillery across the border into Ukraine to target Ukrainian military positions in the conflict against pro-Russian separatists.

So, what if they are firing across the border and delivering better weapons? What are we going to do about it. They already know that answer.

We can hashtag them. Or make strong statements. Maybe draw a red line. We will launch a barrage of words at them and we will get our allies to....oh wait, we don’t have any allies.

Other than requiring a full blown invasion and conquering Ukraine, nothing.

Yes Putin is a stupid thug. He is neither brave nor intelligent. He never fought in combat in his life. He’s a coward bootlicker who served the Soviet secret police and now he hides in his fortress while he has others murder innocent people for him. He’s the lowest most evil piece of trash on the planet.

While I agree with your assessment here, I believe “drooling imbecile” missed the mark.

You are correct, Putin is a fairly intelligent creature (can't force myself to call him a human). But the term is fully applicable to his fans, which include 85% of Russians and few degenerates on FR.

Putin is scum. He needs to be brought down and his supporters with him as well. Let their blood run in the streets of Russia for all that they’ve stolen and all of their crimes.

The problem with reports from the Department of State, is that they have lied so much, you don’t know what to believe.
