Poor Ukraine. Yanukovich needs to go but the dead on both sides is appalling

And anyone who doesn’t believe our “boys in blue” won’t do this and
more is a fool. It is the nature of tyrants to seek and acquire power.
Once in power it is their nature to do ANYTHING no matter how heinous
to retain power. The criminals in power in America are no exception and
the sociopaths pinned to badges they have employed will do their bidding
with pleasure.

I’ll just say ... wow.

Barky is watching intently to see what he can get away with.

[fortheDeclaration]

I don’t think the Ukranians are armed, the People of the U.S. are.

[Biggirl]

Big difference. Americans are ARMED to the teeth.

[Repent and Believe]

And so is the tyrant.

Always said it would boil down to our Military Men and Women and on which side they chose to stand with.

They’ll get worse than those cops in Ukraine if they try it.

Thanks for posting this. I was watching the past couple of days and was encouraged that priests (appeared to be both Catholic and Orthodox) were on the stage, praying.

What makes you think so? Because I see no evidence of it. Except on the internet, of course.

Grzegorz 246, have you heard any updates to Ukraine closing border crossings to Poland?

Ukraine protests spread to Polish border

19/02 19:31 CET



Anti-government protesters in Ukraine have blocked a border crossing into Poland over 600 kilometres from Kyiv.

Tyres and fallen trees have been spread across the road by what is estimated to be 200 residents from the local village denying access across the border into Poland. They say they are determined to stay until their demands are met.

“The Berkut – the riot police should withdraw from the streets. Yanukovych should resign and the changes to our constitution should be introduced. Those are our demands. We will stay here until they are met,” explained on protester.

In cities across the west of the country there are reports of more violence. In Khmelnitsky media sources say a woman was killed when security forces opened fire on protesters.

It reportedly happened when demonstrators stormed the regional offices of the Ukrainian Security Service. It’s understood the building is now on fire after the crowd threw Molotov cocktails.

They had demanded the gunmen, who it’s claimed were inside the building, show themselves but they got no response to their request. Two people were injured in the shooting. Local police said no-one was killed in the incident.

yes don-o, that is why the powers that be hate us. They know we are talking and that is upsetting the balance of their power. Can sense even the media saying to themselves and even heard them say ... This is disturbing ... the chatter level.

[Bulwyf]

a lot of them are armed.

[Grzegorz 246]

Several of the the border crossings (or rather roads leading to them on Ukrainian side) are blocked, not sure if it makes sense but I guess locals over there want to make some impact too...

death toll tops 50
