Russian Military Forces Have Now Invaded Ukraine

Posted by timothy on from the or-maybe-it's-a-1000-person-picnic dept.

SpzToid (869795) writes Those plucky "Ukrainian separatist's" ambition to join Russia have now been given Russian military support, as the Russian Army with long columns of armor have invaded Ukraine and have opened up a second warring front, in a big way. The Reuters report, interestingly, quotes a member of Putin's own advisory council on human rights describing the move as an invasion: "When masses of people, under commanders' orders, on tanks, APCs and with the use of heavy weapons, (are) on the territory of another country, cross the border, I consider this an invasion."

    Ukraine is well within its rights to do so now that Russia has breached the agreement.

    I'm sure that in 1985, plutonium is available in every corner drugstore, but in 2014, it's a little hard to come by.
