It's a pity how many people can't even grasp this simple stuff before jumping to conclusion about others.

People of Ukraine have a wizard in their ranks.

sorry, couldn't resist.
I rely on David Letterman, he keeps repeating that China is crazy and Russia is evil, must be true.

^^ I just meant that posters judge other posters opinions falsly (with my last post).
What you mentioned was not what I intended to criticize with it, sorry for the misunderstanding. My bad, that I didn't point that out more clearly.

Some good news.

The armed forces of Ukraine will not become involved in any political conflict.
-statement posted on the defense ministry's website.

It doesn't stop just there. Just today I read in Spiegel Online "hatred against gays in Putin-land". "Putin-land", yeah... The reporting on Sochi games is a joke, according to them everything about Sochi is corrupt and the games are some sort of Putin's personal project. Have you heard the live commentary (ZDF or ARD, I don't remember anymore) during opening ceremony where they constantly made inane remarks, totally politicizing the entire event. Russia is showing its history and culture in a beautiful show and they completely disrespect it. Or remember the Cyprus crisis, where they made propaganda against the bailout because they didn't want to rescue Russian "mafia money"?

Pretty much any country with more than 10 million people would do well to split up into smaller countries.

That goes triple for states.

Grassroots democracy ftw IMO.

Yanukovych believes what it is happening now as a coup and he refuses to back down.
&
Opposition has resigned the president.
New elections will be held on 25 May.

^^ Sounds like solid progress. Yesterday they still said December this year for new elections, and it was quite obv that this date wouldn't cut it.

Well, as much as I usually disagree with you, with that part I quoted, you are absolutely right, imo. Those idiots shouldn't ruin sport with politics, it's a disgrace. Putin is not an angel, but he also isn't Hitler, and once the decision was made that the games would be in Russia, sport-reporters should simply deal with it, and keep it shut about politics, and let the non-sport-news criticize Putin.

russian slappies e'erwhere

This is less politics and more revolution at this point.

Romney got plenty of political capital from his involvement in the olympics. Criticism fades in the memory of a tradegy-free games.

The way I hear it, that dude (Yanukovych) is somewhere in the Gulf of Oman (UAE), and protesters have taken his giant personal boat from his house.

Has it been another useless and insulting post including the word ****?
I strongly recommend to put this yambag on the ignore list, since he is unable to participate constructively.

Ikes is not here to further the discussion.

^^There might be a reason that there is no undertext or translation of this in the clip.
May some want to translate the key points of that, or is it plain russian propaganda?



@ Long Eard Jeroba

Well, if the military decides to not part in defending the current government, there might be a reason that there are so few interviews that give Janukowitsch and the old government a chance to talk. I heard many statements Janukowitsch made on 3Sat the last days, and once saw a short interview with him a few weeks ago. Not sure if he gave any interviews lately, anyway.

The way things went pretty clearly indicate that a dictator got kicked out of business, and I honestly don't care if they stole his boat, or did other questionalbe things in the process to get there.
I try to differ important things from unimportant things, and the only tragedy is that way too many people on both sides got killed, before the Government has to decide to give in. Power is blinding like the strongest light, and they prefered to fight.

As someone else already said, this is currently not politics or law, it is a revolution.

Possible to free him legitimately? Is that really necessary when he was illegitimately detained? **** man, make up your mind when the rule of law is actually important.

Wikipedia entry for Yanukovych says he is no longer President.

ikestoys being an expert on his subject matter as always

?

The way the election map laid out, the division was very clear on the map. The Yulia supporters were on the west and center of the country while the Yanukovych supporters were in droves on the east.

Seems like West Germany/East Germany iyam

Don't you think the last days events may have changed things?

( a point a reporter in russia mentioned)

http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/...-news/1.575732

^^ LOL. Obviously the Nazi's will take over...

I take 2 days of self-ban now. Nuff said.

Of course, but in what direction? I can imagine that a lot of people are really scared right now, not just in the east.


It seems to me that Yanukovich is definitely finished now, he is not coming back. On Russian channels eastern Ukraine politicians are heavily criticising Yanukovich for having been too soft for too long despite having knowledge that armed fascists are gathering and controlling Maidan, and for demoralizing police for sending them to the mob to be beaten and killed, for negotiating with fascists and even giving them amnesties. They are now practically begging for Russia to step in, because they don't see Ukrainian military in a condition to offer them protection.

EU already admits that opposition broke the peace agreement. Timoshenko is telling the mob to continue the protests. Crazy stuff.

One thing I AM sure of, is that situations like this is often used for all kinds of manipulations and political maneuverings, of all kinds.
idk. not there.
