Submitted by Tyler Durden: Now that the situation in Ukraine has officially been upgraded to "war",
what really happens on the ground will remain largely wrapped by the
fog of war on either side, with just one thing assured: a war it may be
but more than anything it is a proxy war - one in which both western and
Russian interests are manifest in the fighting, and killing, of mostly
innocent civilians in Ukraine - a carbon copy replica of what happened
last year in Syria.
The latest reminder of just this comes from AFP which reports, citing Germany's Bild, that "dozens
of specialists from the US Central Intelligence Agency and Federal
Bureau of Investigation are advising the Ukrainian government."From AFP:
Citing unnamed German security sources, Bild am Sonntag said the CIA and FBI agents were helping Kiev end the rebellion in the east of Ukraine and set up a functioning security structure.
