Man, that is one serious traitor. No matter what happens, asking an neighboring aggressive power to invade your homeland is about as douchebag a move as can be imagined.

My FB is nuts. 

I've been hearing a rumor on Twitter from both American reporters and Russian dissidents that Yanukovich has died of a "heart attack."  It's been getting louder rather than softer.  What the fuck is going on?  It's like some kind of nightmare.

The Mayor of Tallinn (leader of the largest party in Estonia) said that the government in Kiev was "put in place by people with baseball bats" and is unable to solve the crisis. Say hello to your NATO friends. :P


He's a known Russian shill, isn't he? And his party is part of the opposition-- tied for third place in seats in Estonia's parliament.

Looks like they're going to go for the entire East.

Ukraine's Customs Service is reporting a "gathering of military machines" in the Kharkiv, Luhansk and Donetsk regions just across the Russian border, according to Evhen Perebyinis, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.
04:02:

A deputy commander at one of Ukraine's units in Crimea, named only as Major Lisovoy, tells local ATR TV that there were no attempts to storm the base. "We're all in high spirits, ready to defend our base. There was no official ultimatum, it was done indirectly via mobile phones. I want peace and stability and for Ukraine to be a united country."
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

QuoteRussian ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin: Russia's goal in Crimea is to defend human rights, especially those of ethnic Russians. He claims Ukraine is on the brink of civil war and reportedly that civilians have been killed. There have been no reports of this.

He also cited bill - which Ukraine has now vetoed - that would strip the Russian language as a secondary language in Ukraine.Russian ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin said that Ukraine's ousted leader Viktor Yanukovich sent a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin requesting that he use the Russian military to restore law and order in Ukraine.

"Under the influence of Western countries, there are open acts of terror and violence," Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin quoted the letter from Yanukovich to Putin in an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council.

"People are being persecuted for language and political reasons," he quoted the letter as saying. "So in this regard I would call on the President of Russia, Mr Putin, asking him to use the armed forces of the Russian Federation to establish legitimacy, peace, law and order, stability and defending the people of Ukraine."

Can we send the Russians to Quebec next?

What's interesting is that almost all official public statements from Russia so far have come from diplomats, but none from Putin. He was seen on the news yesterday for the first time since this mess began. It's almost as if he's saving himself for a big announcement.

Now, Lavrov is heading towards Tunisia to discuss Middle East stuff later today, IIRC, so that would open the stage. I expect a major announcement either today or tomorrow.

Also, with the recently concluded troop exercise, I have some doubts that all soldiers were sent home afterwards.

NYT reports that pro-Russian demonstrations in East Ukraine are partially fueled by Russian citizens crossing the border for "protest tourism". Allegedly they arrive by the busload.

I would take this with a grain of salt.  East Ukraine will be totally fucked by shock therapy.
