'From Kiev, no orders' as east Ukraine police slip out of control | Reuters

Right at this moment the Central Government of Ukraine is loosing control of Eastern Ukraine, I understand how in a situation like this some police departments can't even be expected to stand up to extremists who are probably better armed than they are, I'm pretty sure they aren't worried about hurting locals because I still don't believe most of these groups or "green men" as they are called aren't even from Ukraine.

My fear is however that if the government and military of Ukraine don't get in there and take control of these areas they are going to loose more than Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. Right now President Putin and his cronies aren't a bit scared of any threats of economic sanctions that the United States and the European Union have put in place or thinking about adding. The only thing that is going to change the mind of President Putin is going to be force.

I personally believe that if the Ukrainian military go in and start to take control of the government buildings that the Russian operatives have already taken over the true Ukrainian citizen is going to stand up and protect their country, and right now I think the average Ukrainian doesn't have a clue about what their government plans on doing, when the President a few weeks ago said he was going to send troops in for a anti terror operation and few troops showed up and those that did gave up some of their equipment the people lost some faith in their government. Right now before any other areas are lost the Ukrainian military needs to go in, hit hard and fast, give the people some hope and the people will stand up to protect their country from becoming part of the Russian Federation.

Vladimir Putin called: He wants his warships - Fortune Features

Let me tell you what is going to happen, first of all the world economy
right now is so horrible it's going to be impossible for the United
States or nations from Europe to actually impose any sanctions against
Russia that have any teeth to them. As of right now President Putin and
Russia aren't even squirming when it comes to easing off of the
situation in Ukraine. Just as is pointed out in this article, France has
a chance to hurt Russian and President Putin militarily without firing a
shot by with holding these ships from being delivered to the Russian
Navy.

Here is the problem, France and President Francois
Hollande, just like the rest of the world is facing a bleak economic
future, at least for the near future and this deal for the Mistral class
amphibious assault ship has been a big boost for the people living and
working in the Saint-Nazaire area. If France decides not to deliver on
this contract because of the Ukraine crisis it would critically hurt an
area where building these ships have been the only economic bright spot
in quite a while, the unemployment rate would skyrocket and of course
President Hollande and his Socialist Party would most likely loose power
and with the world economy in the state that it's in I'm sure there is
no other customers out there who would be interested in buying them, in
which case France would take a major loss because by International Law
they would have to pay Russia back the money already paid, even if the
money ended up frozen in the west, eventually it would go back to
Russia. 

So what is going to happen? Ukraine is going to fall,
most of it is going to become part of the Russian Federation and other
portions may decide to go for their own form of independence and right
now I believe it is already to late to stop what is happening unless
President Putin himself put a stop to it. The only other person I can
see who may be able to stop the fall of Ukraine is ex- President
Yanukovich and I'm pretty sure he likes the way things are going right
now.

Kyiv says it has lost control of eastern Ukraine | Al Jazeera America

I hate to say this but I agree, the Central Government has obviously lost control of it's civil police forces in this area, but I tell you what Ukraine better just go ahead and send the military units that the government can trust to do their duty and go in and take these facilities back because if they don't this is going to give Putin the green light to go ahead and send his troops in to take over the Eastern and possibly the Southern sections of Ukraine.

We all know that Russia is behind all that has been happening and much of it is caused by his propaganda machine. It has already been reported that these "green men" have not only taken over some of the local government buildings but they have also seized offices belonging to newspapers, radio stations and television making it that the citizens of Ukraine are only hearing what President Putin wants them to hear, and that is exactly how many battles are fought in this day and age. I understand that people are afraid that if the Ukrainian Military where to crack down that Russia's military machine is going to come rolling in, I think that's going to happen anyways.

I am hoping that if the Ukrainian military begins to take action I think those true Ukrainian citizens will stand up and defend their nation against these "green men" who the majority of have come across the border and are Russian citizens and members of the Russian military. Right now I think they haven't taken a stand because they want to insure that the military will be there when the time comes to protect them from these "green men" and the Russian troops massed at the border roll across.

One last thing the United States and the EU best get off  butts and give Ukraine some kind of help besides these sanctions which are obviously doing nothing to change President's Putin's current plans for Ukraine, OK I get it NATO has no plans to send in troops to help, but the least they can do is start sending in some offensive and defensive weapons and the training required to operate them as well as monetary assistance, because if they don't Russia is going to be sitting at Poland and other nations of NATO's back door (or front door depending where you happen to be sitting).

Experts: Claim of possible Flight 370 wreckage obligates a search - CNN.com

 First of all the "experts" who have found nothing where they thought
they heard the pings are going to have to investigate this companies
claims whether they believe in the technology or not, people have to
remember at one time there was no such thing as GPS, computers,
airplanes and cell phones so it is possible this is a totally newly
developed technology. If they have truly found something in the Bay of
Bengal, even if it's not MH370 but lets say another aircraft that no one
realizes is missing this technology could possibly be used to find
MH370.

I believe these scientist's who are behind GeoResonance
believe in their technology and truly believe they have found something
there in the Bay of Bengal, why else would they come public like this,
because if they are wrong everyone involved in this company will never
have a future in the scientific community. They risk loosing everything
by making this public and its a hoax that is why I say someone needs to
go to this area and make a serious attempt to verify the findings of
these scientists. If they find MH370 these guys will be hero's if
nothing is found there these guys will be treated as fools the rest of
their lives.

Sentencing Wednesday for Scripps Ranch man whose gun discharged, killed boy - 10News.com KGTV ABC10 San Diego

This is hard for everyone, most of all the family that lost their child, but also the man and his family who owned the gun, some people are going to say no matter what the sentence is not going to be enough, and I agree there is nothing in this world that is going to bring Eric back to his family but at the same time I'm sure that Mr. Francis is going through his own personal hell, that few people could even imagine. Yes in this case the family of the child is suffering the most, but this was not an intentional murder but still something Mr. Francis will live with the rest of his life as well. My prayers go out to everyone from both families

First hearing on San Diego minimum wage proposal hike - 10News.com KGTV ABC10 San Diego

Here is the deal, every American citizen deserves a living wage no matter where they live in this country, and the wage increases are not keeping up with the cost of living in this country. Yes I agree people should work hard to better their situation whether it is going back to college, a trade school, there are opportunities out there, however few adults going back to school can afford to pay for school, care for their families and pay their rent on the current wages out there. I agree that we must be careful of how high and how fast minimum wages are raised because if it's done wrong it can hurt the economy more than help, but everyone deserves that chance and people will have a better chance of bettering their situation with a minimum wage closer to the cost of living.

Ukraine crisis: EU names 15 individuals targeted by latest sanctions - CNN.com

By now the EU and the United State should understand that sanctions
aimed at the people who run Russia isn't going to do any good, the only
sanctions that are going to cause change, are going to be sanctions that
make the average Russian citizen start to squirm. I hate the thought of
individual citizens of Russia having to suffer for what their
government is doing, but it is their government and at this moment it is
only the Russian citizen that can make Putin change his policy toward
Ukraine.
