Pro-Russian Protesters Declare Eastern Ukraine a Separatist Republic

[Edgetho]

Wonder what our fearless leader will do when Putin invades Eastern Ukraine?

I'm voting for 'nothing'

Well, except make noise. A couple speeches. He'll huff and puff and make empty threats and.....

Do nothing. Like he always does

Pro-Russian Protesters Declare Eastern Ukraine a Separatist Republic…

Which is the justification Putin has been looking for to invade.

Update to this story.

(Reuters) – Pro-Moscow protesters occupying a government building in eastern Ukraine declared the creation of a separatist republic on Monday, in a move Kiev described as part of a plan to justify a Russian invasion to dismember the country.

Kiev said the seizures of state buildings in three cities in eastern Ukraine’s mainly Russian speaking industrial heartland were a replay of events in Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula Moscow annexed after its troops occupied it last month.

“An anti-Ukrainian plan is being put into operation … under which foreign troops will cross the border and seize the territory of the country,” Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk told a cabinet meeting in Kiev. “We will not allow this.”

Pro-Russian protesters seized official buildings in the eastern cities of Kharkiv, Luhansk and Donetsk on Sunday night, demanding that referendums be held on whether to join Russia like the one that preceded Moscow’s takeover of Crimea.

Police said they cleared the protesters from the building in Kharkiv, but in Luhansk the demonstrators had seized weapons.

obama just hates voting. All democrats do. Every election that doesn't result in what they want is fraudulent.

What would you have him do, specifically?

 

[Camp]

It's turning out to be a civil war in a non NATO country. Russian troops will be occupiers the same way they are in Crimea. They will be foriegn troops supporting one side of the civil war. You would think the OP who is a SF veteran would have some tactical knowledge in regards to civil wars. Maybe he forgot what he learned?

Neither one of you have a clue, do you?

This, right here ladies and gentlemen, is prima facie evidence why dimocrap scum should never hold the reins of power.

They're clueless. And stupid.

boys, if you gotta ask.....

Step 1) Grow a pair....

Step 2) Step 1 is never gonna happen so what's the point?

I've never forgotten......

We fight and die to win a War and dimocrap scum come along to give our victory away.

One consolation...... We sure as **** killed a lot of communists.

And we got a lot more targets these days.

K so no suggestions. Got it.

 

[The Rabbi]

So we will see libs and narco-libs proclaiming "We have no real options here." Or "Ukraine just isn't in our interest." Which begs the question, what is in our interest? If we do not stop Putin now we will be fighting him in Germany. The libs/narcos will give away all of Eastern Europe. As long as they can have gay marriage and legal pot it's all good.

And cueing the "warmonger" meme in 3...2...1...

Well this was predictable. With the overthrow of the government they voted for in E. Ukraine the people have been betrayed by Kiev's usurpers.

People can call the former President Putin's puppet all they want, but his election and his party's election in 2010 was fair and square. And E. Ukraine voted heavily for them.

I'm not being wise ass. I thought you mentioned being a 5th SFG guy. Figured you would understand Denmark tactics and stategies in a striped shirt envirorment. Might make the discussion more interesting. Certainly more intelligent and less full of bullcrap.

the Government in the Ukrainian was a duly elected government, then it was overthrown by rightwing fascist vermin in the last few months and not by any election. Get an education maybe you wouldn't publicly embarrass yourself with your ignorance

Yeah yeah we get it - Obama needs to grow a pair like you. Because you're bad ass and have all the answers. So, answer the question - what would you have him do?....tough guy

No. Just pointing out that we are backing an illegal government that was not elected by the people of the Ukraine. And we are openly and brazenly doing so.

 

[Uncensored2008]

We have a very weak president, whom Putin openly mocks and laughs at.

It is not a good situation. What harmed the USSR most under Reagan was the opening of oil exploration, which dropped oil from $60 a barrel to $10 - undercutting the Russian economy. Obama could open up the restrictions on oil and again undercut the Russians. I realize that Obama is more interested in waging his war on the middle class through $5 a gallon gas, but this is something he COULD do NOW.

It's a matter of priority - is he willing to wait in his quest to crush the middle class, to contain Putin?

Probably not.

All the governments that took power in E.Europe after the fall of the Soviet Union were equally "illegal." Vanukovich was a corrupt tyrant who subverted the law and the will of the people. Now Russia is doing the same.

Look at the coward dance from a direct question......

I bet you think we should send in the US military to get directly involved, which is a joke, without NATO putting in military also. Then what do when medium ranged nukes are used? What do you care you just like to see people die at the hands of your saber rattling. Only feeble minded people can't and won't answer a direct question...

Hitler had favorable plebiscites also...rwer's love Pootin' and Russia, and want to see them get whatever they want...
