Looks like Ukraine and Russia are on the brink of a full blown war. But don’t worry. Obama and the EU have a plan. More ‘tough’ sanctions against Vladdy Putin is supposed to make him stop invading the Ukraine or something. As far as I’m concerned, let them fight it out. As long as Ukraine and Russia don’t pose a security threat to this country like ISIS, I don’t give a rat’s ass what they do to each other. Maybe the whole Russia-Ukraine conflict just looks worse than it actually is because of social media or something.

A top European Union official said Saturday that new sanctions will be proposed within a week against Russia over its actions in Ukraine, but Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko sounded like he can’t wait that long.
“I think we are very close to the point of no return,” Poroshenko said Saturday following an EU summit in Brussels. “The point of no return is full-scale war, which already happened in the territory controlled by separatists and where — instead of separatists — there are regular Russian troops.”
Poroshenko said the situation had worsened in the last few days and that thousands of foreign troops and hundreds of foreign tanks are now on Ukrainian territory.
Russia has repeatedly denied either supporting the rebels or sending its own troops over the border. But those assertions have been roundly rejected by the West.
European Council President Herman Van Rompuy, speaking at the summit, said new sanctions will be proposed.
