Comment: Kiev is engaged in an 'anti-terrorist operation'. Separatists are now defined as terrorists. It's OK to kill terrorists. These soldiers were just doing their job. Sound logic, right? This is Ukraine's new normal. Take Dmitry Korchinsky, founder and ex-leader of the Ukrainian National Assembly - Ukrainian National Self-defense, who

Our teachers of democracy are Americans. During the Second World War America maintained all democratic institutions, elections, and so forth, but nevertheless several million American citizens of Japanese origin were deported to concentration camps because of war, because they threatened national security. United States, maintaining democratic standards and high level of humanism in their country, carried out a nuclear strike on Japan, bombed residential neighborhoods in Germany. 80% of cities were bombed by American aviation, the doctrine was to bomb residential neighborhoods in order to demoralize German soldiers.
Ukraine must have the widest level of freedoms, we have little freedom, we need more freedom, but in the frontal zones and on the occupied territories, we must act like the Americans. If we can't regain the territory, they must become uninhabitable. If it can't be ours, it wan't be anybody's.
Hard to argue with that logic! Democracy = concentration camps, nuclear war, bombing civilians.

In any case, Obama has wasted no time in responding to the shootings:
