The US government (meaning the not to be trusted Obama-led US government) claims to have what it calls "strong evidence" that paid Russian agents and provocateurs are behind the proclamation of a separatist "republic" in eastern Ukraine, which if true would be clear evidence of an imminent Russian regular forces move into the country for more land grabbing. The only really unanswered question is how far will Russia take it (meaning how much more of Ukraine does Russia want to annex), and whether it will lead to a general war with the rest of Ukraine, that could potentially turn into a nasty partisan, and terrorist war against Russia proper by Ukrainian nationalists, and could it spill over into other areas of Europe? All minor points of course.
The neocons at home in the US sense their opening, and they will take it.
