We regret having to interrupt feel-good weekend articles with more sobering news. In Ukraine, major battles have broken out over the past couple weeks.
Mainstream media has widely ignored the story because of Greece, then Charlie, and then the Swiss Franc. And of course Western media has no interest in reporting news the rebels are winning.
However, ignoring the story does not make it go away.
Major Rebel Advance
On November 9, 2014, I posted Ukraine Split in Two; Expect Major Rebel Advance.
That advance came later than I expected. But it is here in full force.
Max Keiser provided this accurate headline two days ago: Ukraine Lurches to Full Scale War as Russia Drastically Reduces Gas Supply to EU.
Reader Jacob Dreizin, a US citizen who speaks Russian and reads Ukrainian sent a few emails and videos recently worth posting.

Hello Mish
Here’s a video that shows a military “cemetery” in Dnepropetrovsk region, Ukraine. Note especially seconds 33 through 51. There are literally hundreds of empty holes in the ground here, waiting for bodies.

Looks like Kiev had been planning an offensive, presumably the one that was just broken up by the rebels in the last few days. I guess it’s cheaper to have the graves dug all at once than to keep calling the backhoe crew over and over.
