The crisis in Ukraine has much to do not only with the United States' Pluto Return (transiting Pluto having come around to his own position after 240+ years) but also with the transit of somewhat-newly-discovered Eris square the US Mercury. The transit aptly symbolizes the communication-discord evident in all sorts of places, from the highest echelons of government (whereto many strange people have, as Ambrose Bierce would have said) gotten "pitchforked" into high station, down through all sorts of online precincts, all the way to the PITS (person in the street).
