LIVE FEED

Kinda the same way the new government in Ukraine got into power.... Ok for one side and not the other?

edit on 5-3-2014 by sosobad because: (no reason given)

Thats funny i love the part how they elected a governor at at rally than preceded to break in to a government building to put him into office. Odd form of democracy there.

Really i believe the Ukrainian parliament were elected to there positions by the people and they are the ones in charge.Do to the fact there former president stole billions of dollars and ordered the police to kill protestors they removed him from office. so sorry its not the same but nice try.

Is it not coming to light that in was in fact the Maidan leaders who ordered the killing of protesters and police alike, I think khimbar summed it up nicely on the last page

Given those leaked tapes, and if the new government is showed to be illegal because of it, then isn't Yanukovich still the genuine leader and Putin is the only one doing the legally correct thing according to the Budapest Memorandum?

Mind. Blown.

Ukraine: Russian Forces Take Over Naval Base
4:20pm UK, Wednesday 05 March 2014

Russian soldiers have taken over a Ukrainian naval air base in Saki, western Crimea, as the gravest post-Cold War stand-off between the West and Moscow continues.

Beforehand, they allowed Ukrainian servicemen to remove four MI-8 helicopters and three planes and fly them to Mykolaiv in mainland Ukraine.

Russian forces also seized two Ukrainian missile defence battalions in the Crimea region, Russia's Interfax news agency quoted a military source as saying.

The Black Sea peninsula is now under complete control by pro-Moscow forces although Russian President Vladimir Putin insists there are no Russian troops there.

In Perevalnoe, southern Crimea, Ukrainian troops remain blocked inside their barracks.

Not when Paet himself seems to be backing away from his own statements heard in the tape and now the Dr. that he said told him police and protesters were shot by the same snipers, Olga, has this to say according to the BBC Live Feed.

16:15: A doctor at the centre of claims that snipers shot people on both sides of the protests in Ukraine last month denies telling Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet that policemen and protesters had been killed in the same manner (See 15:28).

16:19: Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Olga Bogomolets says she did not know what type of wounds were inflicted on "military people". "I have no access to those people," she adds. She did say she had requested a full forensic criminal investigation into the deaths in Maidan Square.

At least though she is requesting a formal investigation into it, which is what Paet and Ashton seem to be in agreement with what should be done at the end of the tape Khimbar linked here and in their thread on the issue.

Give me back my pen

Putin has a very strong character. He seems like an actual real person, with an actual personality.

He seems to be the polar opposite of our wet noodle puppet president, Barack Hussein "Teleprompter" Obama.

Please don't let any of these be true.
