If so, Washington did the right thing! I always liked Kerry's approach! And contrary to most of you guys, I LIKE OBAMA!!!

The issue I have with it is that a country should be allowed to defend itself, not dictated to by an "ally" that doesn't want to piss off Putin.

BREAKING BREAKING

not fully confirmed as yet, but it appears that Donetsk Airport has been taken by Russian airborne forces in cooperation with sympathisers.

It has a large 13,000ft runway (roughly the same length as London Heathrow and larger than Manchester), so is able to be used as a forward operating base for large military transport aircraft requiring a long runway.

Trying to get more!

Not good, but it seems that Kiev aren't going to fight for anywhere (or have been told not to by NATO).
 Quoting: Lime Flavoured Redux


I'm betting at the last minute Washington persuaded Ukraine to let the deadline go.
 Quoting: BioReaper


I agree on the deadline, but this a bit more of an escalation. I still have doubts anything will be done about it though.

I've just about given up waiting for any potential doom that might come from this.

Turchinov's people would only make a blood bath without gaining anything. They would have been demonized by the world opinion and then overthrown by Tamanskaya brigade that waits North of Kiev. Certainly no one in the West wants exactly that. Better let the Russian ethnics cry out Russia, Russia. It doesn't hurt

ok, the Slaviansk-Donetsk Military Airport has been taken by Pro-Russia. There has also been some sort of attempt to take the civilian Donetsk airport some 55 miles away from Slaviansk. Pro Kiev people are saying that the attempt was repelled pretty quickly. There is definitely something going on, but who holds the airport is currently all down to the fog of war.

What doesn't make sense is that for awhile, Ukraine apparently grew itself some balls. Why? They wouldn't have unless there was a backdoor promise of help if Russia moved in. Now those balls seemed to have vanished again.

It is not true that the Donetsk International Airport is taken by Russians and Pro-Russians.

However, it is true that military airport in Slaviansk is taken by Pro-Russians of Donetsk.

I think the other explanation and this is just speculation on my part, is that they simply cannot muster enough forces to mount an effective operation.
