Perhaps they need to talk to the Czechs and Slovaks about how to go through a “Velvet Divorce.”

Are you supporting the atheists in the government over the Christian protestors?

Religious practice was generally stronger in the western part of the country due to Western Ukraine being part of Soviet Union for shorter period(1939–41; 1944–91).

The violent rioters are backed by Soros, Juan McCain, Obama, and the Soviet EU. I unquestioningly support anyone that opposes them.

Absolutely! If you want to go full Soviet, why go halfway.

Yep. This has not been a protest for a few days. This is a war. The opposition are treating it as such. The government knows it but doesn’t know what to do yet.

Fully 60+% of the people in the Ukraine consider themselves atheist according to CIA world Factbook.

That includes a majority in the Western 1/2.

They know if they take the gloves off that the US/EU will do to Ukraine what they did to Serbia, Libya, and Syria. If the Ukrainian government doesn't lay down and die the US/EU will probably do it anyway.

They’re going to have to take off the gloves or perish.

It all makes a great distraction for our dictator.

There are no good alternatives. Neither group has clean hands. Firebombs aren't passive resistance. Of course they were likely just a few, perhaps paid, false flag provocateurs, maybe Russian agents. Who is to know? This is not as easy as detecting the MB in Cairo shooting their fellow MBrs in the back.

What concrete steps do you think the U.S. should take, other than talk?

That could not happen, since the Ukraine is in the Russian sphere of influence, starting with simple geography.

In this case, I would argue that any provocateurs would be sniffed-out.

There's nothing the U.S. can do, other than talk. And hopefully remember that there are people in this part of the world who don't like Russians.

I’ll be much more interested when this kind of thing begins in DC.

Yeah... Because free trade with the West and self determination isn’t worth it. Putin’s promises of a New Soviet, with a shiny new label, are so much better.

This "100% peaceful" event is formed and gaining traction: http://www.operationamericanspring.org/forum/forum.php

Will they get more mainstream media coverage than the March for Life has gotten over the years?

Russia is willing to support you for a time.

Familiar sales pitch. But then came the Famine in 1932

The West is majority Catholic. Atheist??? That’s mostly in the East, where many still hold to old Communist traditions.

Indeed, and I fear that is what it is going to take to wrest DC from the Uniparty.

The longer we wait on that, the harder that toilet is going to be to flush...
