Here's a picture of Tyahnybok, the leader of Svoboda, in a pose that might seem familiar to some:

I've read about some of the same things landmark is speaking about. I don't think the protestors in the Ukraine are particularly good people. I think there's a lot we here in the west don't know. But I also believe Putin is pushing on because he knows the US president will not rouse a coalition and he will get what he (Putin) wants. Obama can't win this no matter what he does. So I'll say it again, the US should stay the heck out of this conflict and let the Russians work it out. We're in the position we're in for a reason. Folks should think about that in 2014.
What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about?

I've sent Landmark's comments and the Wikipedia article he quoted to some Ukrainian friends for their thoughts re: the protests and new government.
They're a little busy now, but I hope to hear soon I will say this - thank God Yanukovich is gone (hopefully never to return to power), and am praying for so much better for the Ukrainian people.

The people of the Ukraine have been robbed by powerful elite Ukrainians and Russians, who skimming billions of dollars a year through gas prices there. Which is why the people there are broke and are uprising. The same scam is now going to be brought in here in Europe obviouly. The elites are all in on it on this side with Russian elites. The whole of Europe will end up like the Ukraine. Everything else is smoke and mirrors. Nothing is real!
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Yes, I agree with tommy, lots of money to be made by all parties there, and alliances will shift as the money does. Watch for changes in position on whether various factions want to join or stay away from the EU.

Jewish organisations in the UK have been sending their written support to these 'anti-Semitic' protestors. Actually, that's a lie. They've been sending written support to pro-European protestors.
Tommy is absolutely right about the gas. That is why, and here is where Tommy and I split somewhat, it would be a 'good thing' for Ukraine to be allowed into the EU. The people of Ukraine would be slightly less ****-****** as a result. |

There was a story in the Kyiv Post that had some humor in it. As with many articles, it should be taken with a grain of salt before confirmed by more sources. But I did get a chuckle out of it
Apparently, a conversation between Putin and his commander in Crimea was intercepted. It seems Putin is frustrated at the non-violence of the Ukrainian soldiers, as he wants Ukrainians to shoot first in order to create a justification for a larger response: Putin: 'Why aren't they shooting?' 'They just aren't.” Putin: 'But how do you behave? Do you provoke them?' 'Yes, we provoke them' Putin: 'Do you remain defiant?' 'Yes, we are defiant, but they aren't shooting.' Putin: 'Why aren't they shooting?' 'I don't know why, but they don't' In other words, there is a provocation going on to make sure there is a first (shot), and that it's started on the Ukrainian side. As soon as the first one starts, the big unrest will start. Putin: 'So, why aren't they shooting? What do they say?' 'They simply openly tell us to buzz off.' :)

Good story Chessmann, keep 'em coming.
