War? Ukraine is Mobilizing its Forces and Calling Up All Men Under the Age of Forty to Prepare Themselves for the Worst.

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
The Ukraine has accused Russia of declaring war.
Less than a week after the close of the Sochi Olympics, a multi-billion dollar showcase for the “new face of Russia,” Russia turned that face to its former Soviet ward and sank its teeth into Sevastopol.
Sochi, an event preceded and studded with human rights violations, is less than 300 nautical miles from Ukraine’s second-largest port, which is currently held by the Russian military. Meanwhile, an estimated 6,000 soldiers have occupied strategic locations throughout Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula.
Russia’s rationale for the invasion is a thin one, a claim of maintaining peace and security in the peninsula while the “radical forces and the self-imposed government in Kiev…endanger the lives of Ukranians and Russians” and threaten to destabilize the country.
It is true that Crimea, an autonomous region of eastern Ukraine, aligns more closely with Russia than its new government in Kiev. Ethnically less than 25 percent of the region identifies as Ukrainian. The majority identify as Russian. However, that Russia’s first response to Ukraine’s transitional government was outright invasion has been unanimously denounced by the West.
Though for all its denunciations, the West can do little to impede Russia’s march. This leaves Ukraine in a stalemate with the much larger nation, prepared for a battle or economic sanctions, neither of which the country can withstand alone. Nevertheless, it is mobilizing its forces and calling up all men under the age of forty to prepare themselves for the worst.

That’s Sunday’s news. Good job “BIN”. Really should be “WAIN” (Way After It’s News) This site has NEVER broke a story as there are no “Reporters” here, just Copy and Paste ppl. Oh wow, now I’ll be called a Troll or a Shill. But that’s all you can say, isn’t it? Whoever owns this site is a do#che.
So true, slamdance13!
So true!
Aaaaaah, the Truth Silly Slamdance and Ms Hoodwinked – Real ‘Breaking news’ is reported from the scene by the guy cutting and pasting bandages on the stump of the leg that got blown off by an Improvised Explosive Device that he didn’t see. He reports the incident to UP or AP or MSNBCNN or whatever syndication he works for who passes it on to the mainstream media which you two actually believe is telling you the truth. The other guy, who managed to see the IED before it went off sends his story to other organized news gathering sites called Real Simple Syndication Feeds where on line media picks it up and makes an attempt to interpret the reality – not the media owners’ hidden agenda – of the story in the context of the current politics of global economics that drives conflict – “Only when there is no profit in war, there will be Peace on Earth”…
But do stick to your MSMCNNBC handlers and keep giving free stuff to the politicians you elected.
