Ukraine Troops Killed Near Eastern Border

Insurgent rocket attack kills 19

DONETSK, Ukraine — Ukraine's president vowed vengeance in blood after 19 troops were killed in an insurgent rocket attack Friday, and residents of the rebel-held city of Donetsk began fleeing in large numbers for fear of a government siege.

The barrage of rocket fire just before sunrise at a base near the Russian border was a devastating setback for government forces, who had seemingly gained the upper hand last weekend when they pushed the pro-Russian fighters out of their stronghold city of Slovyansk. In addition to those killed, 93 soldiers were wounded, the Defense Ministry said.

"For every life of our soldiers, the militants will pay with tens and hundreds of their own," Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko warned. "Not one terrorist will evade responsibility. Everybody will get what is coming to them."

Russia Today is the propaganda arm of Putin. Don't get used by Putin like you're his little bitch Reason writers.

There is an important point to look at with the Ukraine as Barry threatens this and that at which Putin is completely ignoring. And that is this is what happens with an unchecked tyrant. I've seen several videos of the Ukraine people being shot at with nothing but metal shields as they continued to stand defiantly against the police forces.
The don't have the Second Amendment.
I wonder how easily the Russians could walk in if they were met with pockets of rebel forces coming out, opening fire and disappearing into the crowds? I wonder what the Russian soldier would feel like knowing he might be going home in a box?
This is why we "right wing nutcases" cling to our guns. Our economy is going to collapse. It has to. We have an unresolvable debt. And when it does we will have chaos in the metropolitan areas. And the government's answer will be to disarm the people. How do I know this? I watched the aftermath of Katrina in New Orleans. Because we are a society that favors the criminal and entitlement driven over the law abiding.
Barry, I would watch closely to the happenings in the Ukraine. These people are resisting even with the lack of firearms. I've predicted in my fiction the incoming tyranny to the United States. But we aren't the Ukraine. And we have millions of firearms in our homes, Barry.

Time to dump some of America's cache of Communist Bloc weapons in the Ukraine.
