Are the Ukrainians trying to goad Russia into attacking them?

 

I don't know if Putin has already decided to use force, but there are now a number of events that would likely lead to a significant escalation (e.g. another Ukrainian TB2 strike in the Donbas, CIVCAS in the Donbas, etc.). Russia now has the capability to strike on short notice. https://t.co/pECGbxswsd

Rob is right!

I've been monitoring events and the Ukrainians are taking every opportunity to plink Russian artillery. 

This will not end well.

My opinion?  The best we can hope for is that Russia will at  "self moderate" and not decide to make an example of that nation.
