July 25-26, 2014 | Multiple rocket-launcher strikes are shown within Ukraine on July 25 and 26. This slide shows ground scarring at a multiple rocket-launch site on the Russian side of the border oriented in the direction of Ukrainian military units within Ukraine. The wide area of impacts near the Ukrainian military units indicates fire from multiple rocket launchers. Overhead surveillance images released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence provide evidence that Russian forces have fired across the border at Ukrainian military forces, and that Russia-backed separatists have used heavy artillery, provided by Russia, in attacks on Ukrainian forces from inside Ukraine. (Office of the Director of National Intelligence)

The Obama administration on Sunday released overhead surveillance images it said were evidence that Russia has fired artillery rounds from its side of the border against Ukrainian military units.

The grainy photographs, taken between Wednesday and Saturday, are labeled as indicating fire from multiple rocket launchers inside Russia and targets they have struck inside Ukraine.

The release came as Secretary of State John F. Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov agreed in a telephone call Sunday that “despite disagreements fighting must be stopped” and talks initiated between the warring parties in Ukraine, according to a Russian government statement reported in Moscow by the Interfax news agency. The State Department said the five-minute call included discussions of both Ukraine and Gaza.

You could try denying you're a troll. But that'd be a lie.

You could try being an honest poster not laying traps for less authoritarian lap-dog types, but that would be a lie as well, right? Socially you are a hippie, but otherwise politically you are a processed & packaged product of the cold war.
