I think you have to do a little "ethnic consciousness raising" for at least three or four years before you can trigger automatic ethnic cleansing and genocide.

It took some serious pot-stirring in Rwanda and Yugoslavia before they would kill each other with abandon.

Vicky, Hillary and Obama could have used a couple more years to drum up ethnic hatred before they started this recent ruckus.

Based on these reports, it sounds like neither the soldiers nor the people have any great interest in slaughtering each other and their neighbors.

So far, not much happening for the Ukrainian government, but if the US and EU provides it with lots of weapons, there can be a bloodbath, and then Russia might be forced to act in order to defend Russians in eastern Ukraine.

That may be just what the globalist elites want as they can use 'Russian aggression' as the pretext for tougher international sanctions against Russia.

Or, at least that is one theory:

"They wore twirled around their right shoulder straps the orange and black ribbons that are a symbol of the Soviet Union’s victory in World War II, and now of Russia’s nationalist resurgence. "

Those are St. George's ribbons. The order of St. George was the most important military decoration in Russia from the time of Catherine the Great till 1917. It was reinstated under Putin. Orange-black ribbons were always a part of it - you can see them on lots of 18th and 19th century military portraits. Stalin revived a lot of old Russian symbolism during WWII. He didn't revive the order of St. George itself, but he put its ribbon on the "For Victory Over Germany" medal that was given to everyone who fought and came out alive. I remember playing with my grandfather's Victory medal as a kid - it's seriously cool-looking thing. The words around the generalissimo's severe profile mean "Our cause is just. We won".

So yes, the ribbons are associated with 1945, but they have a much longer history than that.

I don't know why the little town of Slavyansk has been the focus of this war so far. Its name basically means "Slavic town". The initial order to storm it was given by Arsen Avakov, Ukraine's Armenian Interior Minister. Someone on the Internet put a picture of him above the words "Not a Slav. Is putting down Slavic Town."

No one in the world except John McCain wants to fight for Ukraine, including Ukrainians and Russians.

Not unlike the US and Canada. One country is officially bilingual the other unofficially bilingual, one has vanilla socialized medicine and the other has Obamacare, one has nukes, the other doesn't have nukes. People might have a preference, but nothing to kill over.

I can see Russia wanting an Oblast or two ... which would disqualify Ukraine from NATO since it would have border disputes. It worked to DQ Georgia.
