The oligarch is trying to set up his own mercenary squad and he is threatening his employees that they better help. Those workers wonk kill their own people for blood money or for a job. The oligarch knows this.this is a farce. He has some paid mercenaries and a bunch of scared workers who dont want to lose their job but they will NEVER kill their own people. If the oligarch continues, he will lose everything.even his own life

Exactly. Eastern Ukraine has plenty of agriculture and natural resources. Even if these steel workers do not work, they have no problem feeding themselves and their families. Potatoes, tomatoes, and all kinds of food are easy to plant and grow.

Ukrainians are better off joining Russia. In Russia, worker salary is 10 times higher than in Ukraine and Russian oligarchs are rather poor compared to Ukrainian oligarchs Russian rich take care of Russian poor, that's why Russia is a superpower and Ukraine is weak.

so because Russia has a higher salary than ukraine you want Ukraine to be annex by Russia? thats a rather funny way of saying things. So by that measure Vietnam will be better off joining China, Bengladesh will be better off joining India, Lesotho will be better off joining south africa, Niger will be better off joining Nigeria, Venezuela will be better off joining Brazil etc.
LOL Russia is not a superpower. its been more than 24 years now since the U.S.S.R collapse. Russia doesnt have much influence in the world today, apart from its nuclear weapons and soviet era armaments. Its a regional power in eastern europe and thats it. It holds no real world influence like the U.S or E.U. Even Brazil and India have more economic influence than Russia. And with each passing year these 2 countries will overtake Russia in every aspect . Tomorrow's war will be fought mainly economically not militraily.

Yeah right. China doesn't even respect the US anymore because a half Kenyan is president of the US. Next week, China and Russia be signing gas deal to further isolate the US. Brazil kicked Super Hornet out and is looking to buy a Swedish jet. Iraq and Egypt are turning away from the US and signing mega arms deals with Russia. So much for US global influence

No country will tend to join another country because leaders are greedy and don't want to give up power. Why doesn't Poland join Germany? Why doesn't Moldova join Germany? Same idea.
