It heats up…it cools down, it’s an on again - off again crisis , and it’s completely orchestrated from Moscow by President Putin. Russia’s President seems to be very entertained by his manipulations and not just the Ukraine, but the US and European countries who are reluctant to do much about his bullying, except wring their hands and watch.
In the latest round Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk charged Friday that Moscow “wants to start World War III” by seeking to take over Ukraine militarily and politically.
“Attempts at military conflict in Ukraine will lead to a military conflict in Europe,” he told an interim cabinet meeting that was broadcast live and translated by Reuters.
“The world has not yet forgotten World War II, but Russia already wants to start World War III,” he said.
“….Russia announced new military exercises Thursday involving ground and air forces near its border with Ukraine. The latest move follows stepped-up operation by Ukraine to remove pro-Russian insurgents from occupied buildings in the east. At least two people were killed in a clash at another checkpoint.
As tensions mounted, seven people were injured early Friday when a hand grenade was tossed at a checkpoint manned by pro-Ukrainian activists outside the Black Sea port of Odessa in southeastern Ukraine.
Local police spokesman Volodymyr Shablienko said unknown men threw the explosive device at a checkpoint set up by local authorities and activists.” http://www.wtsp.com/story/news/2014/04/25/ukraine-russia-world-war-iii/8143807/
Putin can do anything he wants in the face of a weak and inept Europe and the weak and inept Obama.
Off topic but one of the most important interviews you can ever listen to. This is the real story behind the Bundy drama. It goes way beyond a rancher in Nevada.
