#3 We now turn to the chapter in our story where the Bear, having staked its claim to Crimea, sits back and patiently waits for eastern Ukraine to split off and fall into its lap.

#4 SO now its official ... ...

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [Guardian.UK] PRO-RUSSIA ACTIVISTS DECLARE INDEPENDENT "[People's]REPUBLIC OF DONETSK".

The PRD is Coming, the PRD is Coming!

* RELATED RUSSIA TODAY > CLASHES ERUPT AS PROTESTERS DECLARE INDEPENDENCE [People'S Republic of Kharkov].

The PRK is Coming, the PRK is Coming!

* REAL CLEAR POLITICS > PROTESTERS IN UKRAINE'S EAST [Donetsk] CALL ON VLADIMIR PUTIN TO SEND IN TROOPS.

IIRC CNN this AM = I may have heard it wrong, but CNN repor that Pro-Russian Militants-Activists may have formed a Pro-Russia anti-Kiev/Ukraine "ARMY OF THE SOUTHEAST"???

NO WORD FROM LUGANSK = "PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF LUGANSK", BUT IS PROLLY OR LIKELY THE SAME.

versus

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > [Ria Novosti] EASTERN UKRAINE IS DIFFERENT FROM CRIMEA - RUSSIAN LAWMAKER.

* SAME > [Voice of Russia] RIOTS IN EASTERN UKRAINE PROVE ITS GOVT'S NEED FOR FEDERALIZATION - RUSSIAN FM.

Federalization = "Cantonization"???

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > US WARNS RUSSIA AGZ "OVERT OR COVERT ACTION" IN UKRAINE.

RELATED CNN AM = SECSTATE KERRY WAS WARNED RUSSIA THAT THESE NEW ESCALATIONS/TURMOIL IN POST-CRIMEA/ANNEXATION EASTERN UKRAINE "MUST STOP".

* TOPIX >[Daily Caller] [UNO + US, NATO] MILITARY INTERVENTION IS THE ONLY SOLUTION TO RUSSIA'S AGGRESSION.

By his or Russia's actions, Vlad has proven he is a direct threat to the sovereign Ukraine, Post-Soviet/Cold War Eastern Europe, + dare we say the entire World!?

#5 OOOOOOPPPSSSS, my bad, forgot RIA NOVOSTI > DONETSK PEOPLE'S COUNCIL SET TO HOLD [independence = accession] REFERENDUM TO JOIN RUSSIA ON MAY 11.

OBAMA-THE-OWG-GLOBALIST still has time to save = abandon his latest "red line(s)" on Donetsk. Lugansk, + Kharkov???
