"What a fucking tragedy. It doesn't look like it will end any time soon either."

"Russian-backed separatist authorities in Donbass are evacuating all civilians except for 18-55 year old males to Russia. Russian government has opened at least 4 reception centers along the border for men wishing to join the separatist militias in Donbass."
"However wouldn't russia ask for ukraine to be demilitarised out of autonomy? And basically render it a client state? Surely that's good for those who won't grow up to be killed, war is evil and barbarous, but is it not understandable why there is reluctance even within Ukraine to do this?"

"Russia had actually hacked American voting systems and added millions of votes to Trumps column (statistics showed the majority of Dem voters believed this). Russia had issued a de facto declaration of war on the United States and we should respond in kind."
