Some disturbing news from Ukraine. We aren't there so we REALLY don't know what's happening there...

 

⚡ Breaking⚡️The south of the Donetsk People's Republic is now coming under 120mm mortar fire from the Ukrainian Armed Forces. #Donbass

120mm mortar fire at this time? Plain weird. If the Ukrainians are seeking to spark a war then this is a good way to do it. BUT we're not there so we don't know.

For those not familiar with the situation in Donbass, this is not the 'start of the war'. The civilians here have had 8 years of these attacks from Ukrainian forces so this is nothing new.

This is what I mean by "we're not there so we don't know". This type of thing is business as usual and has been for 8 years?

Its nice finally orders have been given for Ukrainian soldiers to obey the ceasefire https://t.co/MITW2WOHa6

Strange orders that just add to the "land of mirrors" vibe I get from this Russia vs Ukraine thing. If shot at don't shoot back? Seriously? I don't get this. Another weird conflict where victory doesn't seem to be the goal of any side.

21st century combat is devolving into a fucked up game where people lives are lost for undefined reasons.
