Missing Civilian Bodies found in Mass Graves: Russian Roulette

The Pro Rus-Si-A assholes strike again, fucking losers-



VICE

On July 24, 14 bodies were exhumed from a burial site in Sloviansk. The victims were civilians, all of whom are believed to have been killed by pro-Russia separatists when they were occupying the area. According to Ukrainian officials, there are roughly 300 people missing in Sloviansk, and mass and individual graves are consistently being found.

VICE News correspondent Simon Ostrovsky investigated what may have been behind these murders, traveling to the mass grave site near Sloviansk as the bodies were being unearthed. He also met up with journalist Chris Miller, who found signed death warrants and proof that the separatists were operating under their own form of martial law while controlling Sloviansk.

Some very ugly things are going to come to light in the areas re-taken from the secessionists....

secessionists would fall within my favor by rote. However, these secessionists, aren't. They are the anti-thesis of anti-establishment. They are 100% committed to expanding the Russian empire under Putin and may well be the keystone to an avalanche that buries Europe in a regional war. I'm curious as to what name we could apply to them that would more accurately describe their acting as proxies on Putin's behalf.

As for those who should be embarrassed but won't be: I'm curious what excuses will be presented. I'm tending towards --

A) "This latest outrage by anti-Ukrainian forces makes it incumbent upon the Ukrainians to come to terms."

B) "Probably a false flag op by neocon mercenaries/media."

C) "Nothing has been settled by international tribunal so your assignment of guilt is premature."

D) Some composite of the above.
