DO YOU THINK IF REBELS DO DEFEAT KIEV GOV WHICH YOU SAID THEY WONT BUT WITH MASSIVE AMOUNT OF RUSSIAN HELP NOW COMING IN SO YOU STILL STAND BY IT WITH RUSSIAN HELP EVEN
ReplyDeleteI have always said that if nothing changes the Ukraine army will eventually take over the rebel controlled areas. The problem was how could they keep control when almost everyone is against them. I have compared eastern Ukraine to the British occupation of Ireland. The British controlled the cities .... but they really did not control the countryside. In the end .... the people will get what they want .... Ireland got their independence, and eastern Ukraine will eventually get some form of autonomy.
ReplyDeleteBut if Russia is now sending their own soldiers into the fight .... using artillery and attack helicopters .... this is going to change everything.
I will be posting more on this story later tonight.
