War

Ukraine is not out of control. Factions are fighting over self-interest. There's nothing unusual about that.

"They don’t make war propaganda like they used to – or maybe it has something to do with this newfangled thing they call the internet – but the latest "evidence" of Russian troops supposedly directly involved in east Ukraine turmoil was debunked almost as soon as it was made public."

No surprise there either. Stop the alarmism. I don't want anybody to die, but what's going on Ukraine since the US-backed militias took over is gentle compared to a US invasion.
