In other news - elections in Ukraine. Oy.

"The Star Wars character Chewbacca has been dragged before a court in Odessa, in perhaps the most surreal episode in local elections across Ukraine that have been both hotly contested and rife with dirty tricks. The man inside the costume was fined 170 hryvnia (£5) for the “administrative offence” of not being able to produce identification documents."

Another OY.

Ukraine will end up divided, the western will be an European country and part of NATO in the long run. The east, who knows.

"Less than two years after Ukraine's "revolution of dignity," local elections on Sunday handed power in the south and east to former supporters of the ousted president, Viktor Yanukovych,. The vote also created sizable ultranationalist factions in a number of local legislatures, including in the capital. The election proved voters' growing mistrust of the political class, which was only partially reshaped by the revolution, and revealed a disappointed nation that still is divided along an east-west line."

Just as I had stated, this is a war of oligarchs, bankers, mafiosis, and not a cultural war.

The situation with Irish, for example, is far worse.

US military and PBS appropriating Russian footage to make the false claim that US Air Force is hitting ISIS oil tankers (it starts at 2:22)

So we still don't have any proof of the US destroying ISIS' oil network.
