What is an American doing fighting in Ukraine?

A series of rocket attacks left 30 people dead and many more injured in the city of Mariupol in east Ukraine on Saturday. This is a bit of a clip from a news outlet that was covering the aftermath.

While we're discussing the Ukraine, here's some news. We'll be sending American military to the Ukraine to train the Ukrainian National Guard. Since that country is flat broke and ruled by a Neo-Nazi right wing govt. that we installed, I assume the cost will be on the US taxpayer.

An additional goodie. we'll be providing the Ukrainian Nazi's these state of the art Hummer type jobs at a cost to the taxpayer of only $189,000 each.

More of those foreign entanglements we were warned about years ago. And have come to ignore.

Turns out this was a guy from the UK named "Swampy".
I heard a professor who is an expert on the Soviet Union on John Batchelor two nights ago. He said that the US is about ready to announce that NATO is going to give Ukraine "heavy weapons". We are on a "slippery slope". There is probably going to be full scale war with Russia. Also, NATO ships are moving into the Black Sea which means we probably intend to invade the Crimea. If true it may be that we could be seeing "mushroom clouds" around here before long.
