Ukraine's Russian-backed breakaway eastern territories have ordered military mobilisations amid an escalation in fighting.
...
Monitors report a "dramatic increase" in attacks along the line dividing rebel and government forces.
...
Decreeing the mobilisation, the head of the Donetsk People's Republic, Denis Pushilin, called on "all men capable of bearing arms to rise to the defence of their families, children, wives and mothers".

"Through our joint efforts, we will achieve the victory we desire and need," he wrote on Telegram. "We will defend the Donbas and all Russian people."

In Luhansk, separatist leader Leonid Pasechnik forbade all men aged 18-55 to leave the territory and said the authorities there reserved the right to requisition vehicles and other property for the "needs of the defence".

1. Countries in the Mind Only

People who live in one country but profess a loyalty to another are traitors to the country and people where they live.

Lines on a border mean little to idiots who can’t recognize countries on a map. Their loyalty is to themselves only. It’s the problem exposed by a successful first amendment, and we’ve yet to manage that corrosive side-effect of “free speech”.

When we do, propagandists are finished.

2. So Putin is fomenting civil war within

Ukraine as his excuse for going in to defend Russians living there. A separatist movement.

3. As you may recall, that is how he did it the first time.

4. Just like he is fomenting

insurrection in the US. And American traitors are supporting it.

5. They did the same shit in Crimea

I still think that one of the reasons that Putin is doing this is to deflect the trump crime spree here in the states, besides the other one that he is just narcissistic as Trump and he has nuclear weapons.....this is not going to end well unless someone blinks and if they do its still going to get bloody.....
