quote:

There are two things happening between Ukraine and Russia right now. First, Russian and Ukrainian leaders are meeting in Belarus to negotiate a peace deal in the Ukrainian conflict that Russia insists it has nothing to do with. Second, Russian military forces are crossing the border into Ukraine in what is clearly a hostile invasion and act of war. That includes Russian artillery, Russian tanks, Russian-trained irregular forces, and even uniformed Russian soldiers who have admitted on camera that they are Russian military ordered to invade by their commanders.

But the first piece of that is obfuscating the second. Getting Russia to agree to a peace deal on Ukraine requires lots of careful diplomacy, and that means that no one wants to formally acknowledge Russia's invasion of Ukraine, even though Russia is definitely invading Ukraine right now.

Most of the "separatists" aren't Ukrainian, so I'd say the invasion's been going on for a while.

Are you saying that Putin would tell a lie?

Obama should issue a stern warning then draw a redline all around Ukraine.

The 80s called, they said Obama is a fricking dumbass. The 10s were on the call too and agreed.

I love all the clever rehashing of Obama quips he has used over the years. I sure wish we had a media that would call him out on them.
