Protesters? Or guys sent to start a proxy war in Eastern Ukraine?

I honestly can't tell at this point.

Perhaps a no-fly zone over Richmond is warranted for today, just in case one of these dumb shits tries shooting down a commercial airliner.

how stupid they look parading around like a bunch of six year olds playing soldier. At least the six year olds knew they were playing.

the case for gun regulations. I'm sure people at home are thinking they don't want these people having assault weapons.

but a couple of the guys have just their thumbs in their pants pocket, and to me, that makes this picture look even worse. For some reason, when guys stand like that, it irks me big time. I mean, the whole getup is douchy. Don't get wrong.

In January 2020 so far 8 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed and more than a dozen wounded according to Unian.

That's during the ceasefire.

Early last fall Ukrainian deaths were a big deal. Because we cared. Just not about the Ukrainian deaths--the dead were a prop.

Since 2014 there has.

I just was making note that these guys in Virginia look much like the "separatists" sent by Putin to fight in Donbas.
