Ukraine's European Revolution?

[Syt]

Riots reported from other cities (Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk). State media ignore the subject; a TV station critical of the government has been switched off all day.

Are we in end game?

They filmed a Berkut behind enemy line, some fighting to get a punch in, some trying to defend him (he was wounded), some filming it with iPads.

I doubt Ukraine lacks the military power to crush this if they went all out.

The question may be whether the Ukrainian military would all out crush the protestors if ordered to. The Russian military would likely be more reliable in this situation.

The reports were the units called out months earlier were somewhat more elite units, likely due to higher loyalty and reliability.

It would be interesting to know if units of the police and army are recruited regionally.

I have a sinking feeling that we're now watching the beginning of a long epic, where the evil is on initially victorious march, and the good guys are cluelessly stumbling around and not even realizing they're in a fight.

Congratulations.  Welcome back to Eastern Europe.
