There's a similar discussion thread on RallyPoint:<br /> <br /><a target="_blank" href="https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/apocalypse-in-the-ukraine">https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/apocalypse-in-the-ukraine</a><br /> <br />The Separatists and their Russian backers seem to be taking it too far, clobbering the Ukrainians: something akin to a massacre.<br /><br />I saw one video report where Ukrainians (older women) were saying that this is worse than what they experienced in WWII. And that's brutal. CW5 Private RallyPoint Member Sun, 22 Feb 2015 20:33:15 -0500 2015-02-22T20:33:15-05:00 2015-02-22T16:14:58-05:00
