A new Ferdinand?

A Russian state TV journalist has been killed in a mortar attack near a village outside the east Ukrainian city of Luhansk, Russian media report. Igor Kornelyuk died in hospital after the attack near Metalist while a colleague, sound engineer Anton Voloshin, was reported missing. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-27886211

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

(CNN) -- NATO has seen a "new Russian military buildup" near the border with Ukraine, NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Thursday, a development that may alarm Kiev and the West. Rasmussen warned that any Russian intervention across the border could prompt tougher international sanctions. His words, in response to a question from a Russian journalist at an event in London, came a day after Ukraine's new President announced he would soon implement a unilateral cease-fire to ease the crisis in the restive eastern part of the country. "Yes, I can confirm that we now see a new Russian military buildup -- at least a few thousand more Russian troops deployed to the Ukrainian border, and we see troop maneuvers in the neighborhood of Ukraine," Rasmussen said. http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/19/world/europe/ukraine-crisis/index.html?hpt=hp_t2
