Wow! It may actually be happening!

The US president said he is certain that it will happen, the Donetsk rebels are issuing evacuation orders and mobilising men of fighting age and apparently some Russian units are even starting to move. I hope the President is not lying to us.

I wonder what kind of war this would be. It would be interesting in that it will involve large mechanised units fighting across open terrain, it will be the closest thing to a war that has happened for a long time and not just one sided air attacks or minor skirmishing or proxy wars. So that is good, but the problem I have with this war is that both sides are using Soviet equipment(thought the Russian stuff is newer) so it's not that interesting in that regard. I would have liked to see a conflict involving technology and equipment from separate nations fighting each other instead of from the same nation.
