Just when there were some faint signs of diplomacy getting back on track in Ukraine, things get much worse:
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-27845313Pro-Russian rebels have shot down a military transport plane in eastern Ukraine, reportedly killing 49 Ukrainian service personnel.
Ukraine's defence ministry said the Il-76 transport plane crashed after coming under anti-aircraft fire over Luhansk.
In a statement it said "terrorists" had "cynically and treacherously" fired on the aircraft.
The plane was carrying troops and military equipment and was about to land at the city's airport.
It is thought to be the biggest loss of life suffered by government forces in a single incident since Kiev began an operation to try to defeat the insurgency in east Ukraine.
And Russian vice-premier Dmitry Rogozin tweeted this week that the time has come to "pick up the pieces" of the crumbled Soviet Union.
Gulp.
In the United States, the person who sees themselves as loyal and patriotic and who find someone else whose opinions they disagree with.
In Canada, those who knew that Brett Hull was born to a Canadian father and that he grew up in Winnipeg have the right to call him a traitor for playing with team USA.

I thought you said it was referencing real life events, not bizarre conspiracy theories.Lucette notes:
The baby who was genetically altered and meant to be predestined to destroy the world in Justice League United is named Ultra - as in MK Ultra or Mind Kontrol Ultra.
And the reference is probably more about the original Ultra from the pre-Crisis days.

I doubt that Ben Raab or Lobdell or Kavanagh or whoever is still working for DC even knows that story. I know I'd never heard of it. "Ultra" is an ultra common word.

And just to retract, I forgot about it and was confusing it with Majestic in my last post.
