It is another Taliban Style takeover. Those that can leave now, should leave and seek asylum in The West.

Russian state TV claims the Queen, Prince Charles, and Prince Andrew (click here) are pushing for war in Ukraine to distract from scandals at home.

Does no one in Russia know it's government aggressive stance at the Ukraine borders? Ukraine is surrounded. How ignorant are Russians to their governments corruption? This is the information network in Russia. Amazing. Is it run by Murdoch?

I don't know why The West and namely NATO is not coming to the defense of Ukriane. When Putin invades Ukraine he won't stop there. We already know that is the fact. We know Russia makes long term plans and this is one of them. He wants to reconstitute the Soviet Union and this is the first step. He has been planning this for a long time. There was never any doubt that once Crimea went to Russia there would be consequences for the entire country of Ukraine. I think NATO needs to realize they need a strong border with Russia that ends these ambitions that are nothing more than ideology.

I think NATO needs to take a hard line with Russia and end the aggression that is laced with human rights violation. Enough is enough. This is not a matter of ending a runaway Donbass regime, this is about invading the entire country and destroying it's democracy. Corruption will return quickly. I think The West needs to decide about the invasion and what it cares to do about it. Ukraine can't stop Russia. 

Ukraine is a neutral country. Putin has no respect for that.

Ambassador Bathsheba Nell Crocker, the U.S. representative to the Office of the United Nations and Other International Organizations in Geneva, recently made the assertions in a letter to the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, the contents of which were first reported Sunday evening by The Washington Post.

NBC News obtained the letter, which says, "We have credible information that indicates Russian forces are creating lists of identified Ukrainians to be killed or sent to camps following a military occupation."...
