1. Watch Trump do nothing.

So pathetic.

2. Kick and recommend for visibility

This attack is coming the day after Ukrainian Memorial Day for Holodomor. It is the remembrance of the Ukraine famine planned and orchestrated by Joseph Stalin to eliminate the Ukrainian independence movement. Estimates are between 3.3 and 7.5 million people died.

In other words an intentional attack by Putin.

Is this the beginning of a war? What will trump say?

7. Now everyone knows they can push IQ45 zround

Hes been.hornswaggled by everyone. Now Putin gets his wish, permanent occupation of Ukraine and more importantly, Crimea.

Then Kim will take advantage. (He has already).

When you have a weak leader, the rest of the world takes advantage.

8. two gunboats and a tug were captured by Russian special forces after a chase

Ukraine's navy says Russia has opened fire and seized three of its vessels off the coast of the annexed Crimea, in a major escalation of tensions.

It said two gunboats and a tug were captured by Russian special forces after a chase. Two Ukrainian crew members were injured.

Russia is yet to comment on the claims.

It earlier accused Ukraine of illegally entering Russian waters, blocking access to the Sea of Azov with a tanker put under a bridge in the Kerch Strait.
