The Associated Press article begins:
HORLIVKA, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine's police and security forces are "helpless" to quell the unrest in two eastern regions bordering Russia and in some cases are cooperating with the pro-Russia gunmen who have seized scores of buildings and taken people hostage, Ukraine's leader said Wednesday.
Acting President Oleksandr Turchynov said his government's goal now was to prevent the agitation from spreading to other territories in the sprawling nation of 46 million people.
His interim government in Kiev and Western governments have accused Moscow of orchestrating the turmoil in eastern Ukraine, which borders Russia. The United States and the European Union rolled out new economic sanctions against Russia this week but Moscow has remained unbowed, denying its role in the unrest.
Turchynov spoke hours after pro-Russia gunmen seized more administrative buildings in eastern Ukraine.
A few years ago I wrote: "When we see the advancement of tyranny around the world, at some point it will become necessary for us to take action to stop it. There will be a point when we must go from being Neville Chamberlain to General Patton. This is especially true when the stated purpose of the growing tyranny is to occupy Europe, and to destroy Israel and the United States."
Granted, I was addressing Islam, but tyranny is tyranny, regardless of the form, and the same rules apply whether it is the spread of the disease of the false prophet Muhammad, or Russia creating an atmosphere of secession in eastern parts of Ukraine in order to pull those territories back into Putin's recreation of the Soviet Union.
I am not suggesting that we go bomb Moscow, but if Obama continues to portray the United States from a position of weakness, and the democrats continue to go around acting like this is some corporate takeover of Ukraine with language like calling it "unprofessional," Russia will not stop. The Baltic States will be next, and then the rest of the former eastern European countries that were once behind the Iron Curtain, and then more.
Tyranny's appetite is insatiable.
If weakness continues to be the prevailing attitude now, down the road war will be inevitable.
