Ukraine promises NATO not to extend martial law if Russian "invasion threat" is removed
http://www.interfax.com/newsinf.asp?id=875818
Expect another Uki provocation b/f the martial law expires. It is another rigged game Made in USA.

History is made in Kyiv: Ukrainian clerics have today elected Metropolitan Epiphanius as the first leader of an independent Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The move is seen as a crucial step in Ukraine's post-1991 nation-building process and a huge blow to Russian imperial ambitions

70% Chance Of NATO-Russia Combat: "US Ready To Fight To The Last Brit"
George Szamuely: Several weeks ago, when we first talked about this, I said 60 percent. Now I’d say, maybe 70 percent. The problem is that Trump seems determined to be the anti-Obama. Obama, in Trump’s telling, “allowed” Russia to take Crimea and to “invade” Ukraine. Therefore, it will be up to Trump to reverse this. Just as he, Trump, reversed Obama’s policy on Iran by walking away from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, otherwise known as the Iran nuclear deal. So expect ever-increasing US involvement in Ukraine.
