These folks aren't too smart, are they? Shooting at international observers?

It is rather strange that people in fear for their lives and brandishing weapons are now shooting at the very people sent to protect them. This really isn't about the safety of citizens, except, perhaps the Ukrainians on the mainland. This is about oppression of the masses and validates the militias in the country.

This is going to become another Yugoslavia. The Crimea will continue to advance against unarmed and helpless people and it won't stop at the Ukraine border either. This is about taking back the Soviet Union. I don't know who's idea this is, but, it is a bad one. This will escalate into major confrontation. This is nonsense.

The crisis in Ukraine deepened last night (click here) as warning shots were fired at international observers seeking to monitor the rapidly growing Russian military build-up in Crimea.

Forty gunmen in balaclavas and military fatigues aimed warning shots above a car leading a convoy of 57 unarmed civilian and military observers from the Organisation of Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

At least three shots were fired from automatic weapons and although no one was injured, the incident was seen as a dangerous widening of the conflict....

When Yugoslavia broke up the entire region suffered and there was genocide.

When the Soviet Union dissolved that didn't mean the problems of the post soviet nations were solved. Quite the contrary. The divisions of ethnicities remained and the most dramatic example were the attacks by Poland on South Ossetia and Abkhazia. 

Look I don't know what Russia thinks it is doing, but, attempting to reclaim land mass isn't what the world is about anymore. Russia needs to get over it's angst and The West will then have to stop it's insidious ideas of destroying the communist nations. That is bullshit and McCain can blow it out his barracks bag.

Europe wants peace, I know it does. And for any nation removed from the Europe-Asia borders to think it can play with economic aggressions against Russia is nothing but idiocy. There ain't no way the USA will ever get away with starting another war. Iraq was enough to bring the entire world dowm on the backs of the USA if it even looks like it is going to happen again. 

If the war mongers in the USA actually believes there will be more and more economic aggression toward other nations, just try it and see what happens to Wall Street. We ain't gonna fight for ya, either. The USA has a Defense Department, not a war department and the Neocons days of glory are over.And if the USA military ever thinks they are going to run drone wars, they are delusional. If they think they have budget problems now try building a drone army and see what you get then.

I remind, NO BOMBS FELL IN SYRIA!!!!!!!
