Spoke with a friend who just returned from the Ukraine... he reports that the people live in fear, are exceedingly poor, the "war" goes on and they are drafting men up to 50 years old... and the Ukrainians are getting slaughtered...just basic wepons, no anti tank stuff or anything the modern Russian Army has.... none of which is making the US news...

Wait....  Are you saying they are not fighting in eastern Ukraine?   Civilians were just killed this week in Marisol from shelling.  I guess the pro Russians don't consider that sovereign Ukraine but the inhabitants do.

So-called war?  What else do you call it when one nation invades its neighbors and fighting breaks out?

I've heard similar reports, Op.  I have friends in Russia that tell of families being forced from their homes with nothing but the clothes they were wearing.  It's a pretty bad situation over there, especially in eastern Ukraine.  Btw, it's "Ukraine," not "the Ukraine.". Ukrainians are pretty sensitive to that.  "The Ukraine" sounds like the Ukrainian province/territory of Russia/USSR.  Ukraine is its own sovereign nation.

Obama helped make sure they would have nothing to fight with,  Apparently they sold a lot of leftover stuff as well and destroyed even more.

Yea, that is legit. Pretty fucked up, I can't decide if he is is THAT over the top incompetent or an evil genius that organized this whole thing.

He also told Ukraine not fight Russia when they invaded Crimea. http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2015-08-21/u-s-told-ukraine-to-stand-down-as-putin-invaded

Their only chance not to see Eastern Ukraine get invaded would have been to fight like hell in Crimea. It would have been perfect, Russia denied those were Russian invaders, so Ukraine could have called them Ukrainian terrorists. They needed to fight like hell so Russia might see Eastern Ukraine as too costly and not worth the squeeze to invade. In accordance 0bama's advice (demands), the Russians saw Ukraine just roll over and figured they won't put up much of a fight for Eastern Ukraine. Now they're in quite the shit sandwich.

The real crime is, that when the Soviet Union fell, Ukraine became a nuclear power overnight. They had a bunch of nukes in their possession. We promised to protect them if they gave them up. They did, we didn't.

lol. +1 to that.

Russia is backing the "separatists", so if it were shot down by the "separatists", it would still be Russia's fault. Ukraine clearly didn't do it, since the "separatists" don't have any planes in the air over Ukraine, so Ukraine wasn't out trying to shoot down its own fucking plane. Meanwhile, the "separatists" were shooting down shit tons of Ukrainian aircraft in the area.

It was dumb for the commercial jet to take the route over Eastern Ukraine, but much of the world was still sending flights on that route prior to the shoot down.

We can sit here and argue about who's responsible for what, but there's still real, actual combat happening daily in Ukraine, and Russia is actively part of it.  Just because they quit showing it on the news doesn't mean it's not happening.  

Some of you are fucking retarded.

I may be wrong, but wasn't there radio traffic of the Russians and separatists planning and bragging about shooting the plane down ? Then they realized it wasn't Ukrainian .mil and then stfu.

I lived over there until recently but am American born and raised. I have friends fighting over there right now. The situation is not good but the Ukrainian military/MVD have more or less held there own even though the west (except Canada) has pretty much screwed them over. The lack of modern antitank weapons, high tech comms, and some types of ammo is a big problem. A couple servicemen die on average each day. Russia has destabilized the currency and stolen the economic generator of the country. Russians are there in some number and the whole thing is more or less a Russian Black Op. My friend was a recon airborne company commander at Illoviask. The Russian brought out some seriously heavy shit including tech never seen before in modern warfare. We knew about the pending Russian spearhead and with held the info from the Ukrainians. They lost 300 KIA in less than 12 hours. Thermobaric cluster guided missiles, arty, t90's, electronic jammers, lasers, you name it.

Ukraine had about 6,000 combat effective troops when Russia invaded Crimea. No central command or batteries for vehicles (by design). They had nothing to stop the Russians with. This was a long planned operation which began at least 6 years ago. The Russians were just waiting for the right time to strike. Maidan and Obama just kicked there plans into overdrive. If not stopped in Ukraine, they will move east. No question about it. Any questions about Ukraine feel free to ask.
