Ukraine's European Revolution?

[KRonn]

Great thread. About time we had a thread dedicated to the Ukrainian crisis!

What distinguishes this is it's apt named as "Russian Reunification".

'The War' Is Back On.

Ukranian BTR60s are on the move East.    :gasp:

This thread was rubbish, it deserved to die.

Languish needs to send troops to Wyoming to protect the rights of ethnic Languishites. 

Is Languish next to Belarus?

Maybe it's actually Kaliningrad, that would explain more than a few things here.

We prefer to call it: Königsberg.

Al Jazerra are showing Ukrainian APCs, trucks and helicopter preparing.

They're in field nearr the town of Izyum, 30kms from Slavyansk (this maybe wrong as the spelling was different and only on screen for a couple of seconds, could have been another town/city in Donetsk region).

I think Mr Putin has demonstrated the supremacy of that old 9/10th maxim. 

After all Guantanamo's original name was Surbiton.

All is going according to Putin's plans. Foment trouble by agents and Russian citizens in Ukrainian cities, get the pot stirred enough so that Ukraine's security forces have to respond. Then Putin feigns anguish over the opening of civil war in Ukraine, so he has to respond to end the bloodshed, become the peace keeper. Russian forces move in and "keep the peace", Russian agents and Russian nationals insist on referendums or other artifice which will give Russia the standing to remain and eventually annex regions. Rinse and repeat for other independent republics of the former USSR.

So there supposed to be an Ukrainian crackdown but there is no news coverage of it. So I have my doubts.

Dammit. I have been overrun!  The fascist forces of Languish with the European masters have once again destroyed freedom.

Freedom isn't free.  If you want to independent in that neighborhood, you have to pay the price (which is annexation by Russia).

I'm glad that "War in the east" title wasn't picked at the winner.  Threads shouldn't have a title that will become dated in a week.

Civilians were sending me letters asking for me to intervene and protect them with the justice of Neilism.
