Ukraine and Russia by William Perry Esping II

A group of Ukrainian citizens who want Ukraine to be a part of Russia have rebelled and started fighting the Ukrainian government. Right now they are under ceasefire and both sides are already accusing the other of violating it. Prisoners are being exchanged and Russia is accused of giving troops and weapons to the rebels. The EU is putting economical sanctions on Russia. Russian ministry of foreign affairs said that "Russia would not fail to retaliate if such measures are adopted."

I think Russia is definitely supplying the rebels with weapons. The real question is if Putin and the Russian government approved this or are Russian soldiers doing this themselves. Now I think this may be the spark of WW III. If Obama keeps cutting our military budget we could be defeated because the next World War is going to be the bloodiest.
