The government made it clear that more than half the population had no rights or right to life. Is it a government that won't enforce existing law when government agencies or government officers break those laws? Kiev gives them medals. Is it a government leader that reduces murder to an act of prejudice at the UN instead of acknowledging the systemic problem whose resolution might bring justice to the families? Ask Mark Brown's family. His death is just one of many that may never see justice.

Is it a government that controls media so thoroughly that a video game screen shot can be fed to you as evidence expecting you will believe it? In Ukraine today, the news can only report what they are told to by the government. That is Ukrainian nationalism. Is it a government that needs to watch its citizens as you would expect from a fascist/ nationalist country? You tell me.

Who is it that Poroshenko and Obama are so Afraid of? There is no doubt that there are foreign volunteers helping the people of Novo Russia. I have been reporting on this for a while now, but the large majority of the people defending Novo Russia are Donbass people.

Poroshenko attacked with 60,000 troops to kill a few thousand defenders. Forty thousand Ukrainian troops, national guard, and punisher battalions are now casualties (KIA, MIA, deserters, injuries) in this war. Ukraine keeps hiding this and the real death toll because if the truth is known, no one will fight.

Near Mariupol last week a tank rolled in and parked on the street while the soldiers went into a store. A group of young people saw this and simply hopped into the tank and drove away. They delivered it to the NR army outside the city.

That's how Donbass was equipped.

Poroshenko and Obama are afraid of normal people who will stand up for their right to life. They are afraid of patriots because patriots don't tow the government's nationalist line. Patriots care about bringing out the best in their government, people and country. Nationalists care about delivering the best to their governors, leaders, and oligarchs at the expense of freedom, democracy, and most importantly- the people.

Is this level of contempt people feel for a president that separated democracy, their country, and their families from them unjustified?
