The Ladder of Escalation
By Well, here we go:
The Ukrainian government says its troops have destroyed military vehicles that crossed the border from Russia into eastern Ukraine.
The office of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko announced the news Friday on the presidential website. It said Ukraine destroyed a “significant” portion of the military column.
British media had reported early Friday that a large column of Russian armored personnel carriers and other vehicles crossed the border into Ukraine. At a subsequent news conference, NATO leader Anders Fogh Rasmussen confirmed the sighting of “a Russian incursion.”
The curse of living in interesting times, and what not.
