Yup.. I hope I am wrong..

WWlll, wish I could say it's was absolutely not a possibility. 

Update: 5/2/14 Family member asked if I thought Obama was a wimp. No, absolutely not. I just hope he has a better view of things than I do. Which is a hope that I have found to be forlorn on more than one or two occasions in the past.

Western Intelligence should have an actionable idea about what the current degree of public support exists in eastern Ukraine, regarding the militant pro Russian separatists. If the majority of the population just wants to get along and live in peace with one another, and if the actions or threats of violence presented by the actions of the pro-Russian separatists is not acceptable to the majority of the Eastern Ukraine populace..The time for NATO/U.S. ground forces to be quickly deployed in effective defensive positions along the Ukrainian border with Russia, as well as the between the recently redrawn Crimean borders and eastern Ukraine, Is now.

Key question then being.. If Russia/Putin effectively removed as a source of support or sustenance for the pro-Russian separatists militant efforts will majority of eastern Ukrainian population       stand down and allow non-violent solutions to be created or found? 

The Ukrainian national forces could retake needed areas and facilities. Deal with the Crimea later.

We cannot telegraph Russia/President Putin that this is in fact going to happen. President Putin/Russia needs to quickly exert it's/his full political-diplomatic capability, and get the Pro-Russian separatists to honor the recent agreement, that calls for dis-armament and surrendering of Ukrainian assets to current Ukrainian Gov. If that is, Russia/President Putin wishes to avoid the above NATO/U.S. move.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and families of the victims in this senseless incident. Arrested suspect, a reported former kkk grand dragon..I will never understand this...How can a persons thoughts become so distorted/deranged. These people, as well as his "intended" targets had never done anything negative towards the suspect..Mindless hate run amok..was there a possibility for intervention? prior?? So absolutely pointless.

Above mentioned base is reported to be located in Zimbabwe. Further reports indicate it is to be an airbase.. Who could have possibly predicted such developments...:-)  CSM
