I 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.

But 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.

Why should not Putin not do what he wants? He can walk all over Obama.

There is talk, which might be idle talk, of Obama signing a climate deal that the Senate does not have to confirm to burnish his legacy. Point is that Obama will pivot to something else f things do not go well for him in one area.
