    Ukraine ammo dump fire

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGlU...A#t=47.5666875

    Just in case you haven't heard of this there was some sabotage going on and a huge storage area started on fire. Just in the last day or two and they evacuated about 20,000 people or so.

    They stored artillery and more.
    Oh great, another thread that makes me spend money.

    We had one of them at Dong Tam in '68.
    We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).

    Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.

    We forgot to take out the trash in 2012, but 2016 was a charm! YESSS!

    Russian Sympathizers. You can't repel a Russian Invasion without ammo. The Ukranians have not forgotten how Stalin starved 10,000,000 of them to push Communism. They have no desire to repeat it and this is why Obama and Hillary's sell out of them is such a horrible thing.

    I saw it on the BBC news site. There was also a story about an exiled Russian politician in Kiev the same day. Shot outside a upscale hotel, Ukrainian officials called it an act of state terrorism.

    Sorry guys but I don't see the Russian's as being the bad guys in this.

    Soro's funded the Yugoslavian turnover, ousted a democratically elected president.
    Crimea saw the handwritting on the wall and begged for Russia to come help.
    They too voted over 90% to return to Russia.

    You can not believe the garbage the lamestream media controlled by the liberal left put out.

    Want to make up your own mind? Do a youtube search for a movie. Crimea, the long way home.
    Try to watch it with an open mind.

    Lots of intrigue as always over there.
    Saw a" Marvin the Arvin" ammo dump go up near An Loc, then the gooks blew a small one and the P.O.L. at Long Binh. When you' re 1/4 mile away its something one never forgets.

    The ammo dump at Long Binh was hardly small.It was the biggest ammo dump I've ever been in.Only a small portion of it was hit by sappers.

    I am sorry for the civilians that lived in the area, haven't heard anything about casualties.

    Wait a few days and the left liberal press will have this as "all Trump's fault".

    While we couldn't decern 762-39 among the explosions, there were some really big stuff going boom. The surplus market will feel the results for only some of it.
    Information not shared. is wasted.

    I started watching Crimea, The Way back Home. Puttin thought the Maiden's were backed by the west and looked at as criminals by most of the Tartars', Crimea and Russia and it seemed to start in the Ukraine. But I quickly realized the more I learned the more I didn't know. But I have learned more about region.

    Thank you for being honest sir.

    Like you I decided that I did not know enough. But I did know enough to tell that western media was lying through their teeth.

    One of those who first tipped me off to this was Israeli news live. Stephen Ben Noon offered a wholly different way of looking at what is happening.

    Is USA or Russia the one with expansionist ideas? Russia has just 2 bases outside of its borders.
    The USA has ??? Hundreds?

    It was the USA moving new modern so called "defensive" missles in which provoked the Russian buildup on its borders. Media kept saying but these are only defensive missles.

    Stephen opened my eyes again, swap out a card and a warhead and these become intermediate range attack missiles, with potentially atomic warheads. USA thought they had Russia Fooled, Putin was not fooled and called him on it.

    But in the court of world opinion, western media is still the big 600 lb gorilla in the room.

    What does a 600 lb Gorilla do? Whatever it wants.
