Below is the picture of the ukrainian solder killed minutes ago
If this soldiers death just happened minutes ago, what I find odd is how fast the propaganda machine was able to find a pic of him in uniform and get it up so quick...........Almost.........................like they had it planned!

Crimea is NOT part of Russia regardless of the vote. Russia only recognises the vote and they full damn well know it was an illegal vote. The bases in Crimea continue to be Ukrainian and Crimea continues to be part of Ukraine of not Russia and is unrecognised by the international community.
There should have been a diplomatic a referendum vote through the Ukrainian government and not a pro Russian separatist government.
As for the killing of a Ukrainian Military Personal and the invasion of Ukraine there will be a military intervention. It has now passed the diplomatic talks stage.
I feel saddened that bullets have exchanged and resulted in a loss of life due to pretty differences that cannot be resolved.
Ukraine should stand strong and fight if need be and protect whats left of the homeland.

They were disarmed by the Russians (those "unidentified masked men") weeks ago and told to go sit in the corner, basically.

Just like what happened in the Republic of Georgia
When Moscow didn't like what was happening there, they sent in the Federal Security Service (FSB) of the Russian Federation, their FBI, and started handing out Russian passports to anyone who wanted one.
That gave Russia the excuse to send in the tanks and take control--- all on the premise of protecting Russian citizens.
Same things happening here... Estonia and Latvia are probably next on Putin's wish listedit on 18-3-2014 by HardCorps because: (no reason given)

If they were disarmed, then how did this shooting take place? Was it an execution? Or did the Ukrainian soldiers get ahold of new weapons?
Earlier, a military spokesman said a Ukrainian officer was killed in a shooting at a military facility on the outskirts of the Crimean capital Simferopol, but it was unclear who was behind the incident.

Prime Minister Yatseniuk needed this to happen.
Now he can appeal to the EU and NATO for military aid and support for his country.
and if that happens Putin has all he needs to order his T-90 Vladimir's to cross the border.
It's just like watching an Angry Birds game, right?
