Invasion has begun...

 Well I don't know if I should call it an invasion most of the headlines even from FOX News say that Russia is sending in peacekeepers to those regions that just today are seen by Russia as breakaway states from Ukraine.

Columns of military vehicles including tanks were seen in the early hours of Tuesday on the outskirts of Donetsk, the capital of one of the breakaway east Ukraine regions, after Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the regions as independent states.

The Reuters reporter saw about five tanks in a column on the edge of the city and two more in another part of town.

No insignia were visible, but the appearance of the tanks came hours after Putin signed friendship treaties with the two separatist regions and ordered Russian troops to deploy on what Moscow called a peacekeeping operation.

Reuters reporters in Donetsk had not seen tanks on the streets in previous days.

Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine as independent on Monday and ordered the Russian army to launch what Moscow called a peacekeeping operation into the area, upping the ante in a crisis the West fears could unleash a major war.

Footage of Russian troops and tanks in Donetsk, in eastern Ukraine, has been shared on social media by Ukrainian lawmaker Lisa Yasko.

I guess when I think peacekeepers I don't think invasion of course if President Vladimir Putin is going to be more aggressive then this is nothing more than a pretext. Perhaps more troops are coming.

With the administration we have in the White House right now, I don't have great faith that they can de-escalate tensions. If I believe some of the posts on Instapundit during the day on Monday - President's Day - that this was something that was created by them when they took office.

Let's go Brandon already has a foreign affairs/military record and it's just not good. Also from what I see on Instapundit sending Vice President Kamala Harris to Europe didn't quite work out the right way.
