Clashes erupt in Ukraine's Kharkov, 3 anti-Maidan activists injured

Folks,

Either real or staged................these clashes mean Russia will have a strong reason to send troops into East Ukraine. This in order to protect the Ethinic Russians in the region.


This politics is warming up now. Both US and now Germany have promised military help to Baltics in the event of any military happening. Baltics make sense being in NATO. But Ukraine is not.

Does not look good. NATO needs to keep cool here. Will save us all from lots of ..................

NONSENSE that we DO NOT WANT.

Half hour later................Two people died and two were injured in a conflict between the residents of Kharkov and militants from the Right Sector, Mayor of Kharkov Gennady Kernes reported today.

Ukraine needs to step in and take care of the perpetrators. If not, as you suggest, others will feel obliged to do so. We do not want to see an escalation of this at all.

I am suspecting KGB is trying to make a case for sending troops to E. Ukraine. They will call it "stability mission" not an invasion.

Here is CNN views that Crimea can be the trigger for Domino events to follow:

www.cnn.com...

Russia's increased flexing of its military might has heightened the tensions and raised fears of an imminent invasion, especially after the referendum results come in and the dominoes start falling.

Thousands of Russian paratroopers, artillerymen and more on Friday continued a large-scale military drill near the Ukraine border. On the same day, armored truck after truck toting long-range runs and other military equipment rumbled through northern Crimea.

Perhaps they are, and by default we can almost smell the CIA in there too, as well as agitators of all kinds, but I sincerely feel that this whole situation needs to be rolled wayyyy back into **individual incidents** and those responsible found and charged, like who ordered in the goons who shot and killed protestors in Maidan? If it was the PM, can he be charged in Ukrainian court, or the ICC? Has he been charged yet with corruption?

The foreign ministers of outside countries and diplomats are not practicing enough diplomacy but instead are ramping up the rhetoric. I'm not dreaming in Technicolor here. I've heard Ukrainians on TV say they will spoil their ballots during a vote where their opposition should be counted. If people are threatened, then those who threaten must be brought to task. Ukraine must appeal for unity no matter their roots. They simply have to roll back all of the crap they can and the rest of the world needs to think clearly instead of stressing alliances and divisions. If we want this to stop, then we have to focus on non-escalation.

It would make very sense for KGB to raise false flags to help Kremlin out. Why not? when Maidan was used well by right wing elements of Ukraine to justify the coup that came in few days of the shootings.

The shootings in Maidan were at critical points i.e. heart, head, neck.......these hits kill easily.

Riot police are NOT trained to shoot that way. Their main objective is to use "shooting" to disperse the crowds or disable the persons holding weapons etc.

These shootings were done by the snipers who wanted the victims dead in order to create maximum "political impact".

The snipers are trained to kill, and are disciplined, but they did not do this atrocity on their own for political reasons. They follow orders. Someone called for them to come on the scene. Who was it?
