The last image is the strongest to me, seeing the reaction of the priests face trying to calm down both sides, it brings chills to me, this is the image that made me start this topic.

Two protesters have been killed in clashes with police in the Ukrainian capital Kiev.
Prosecutors confirmed they had died from bullet wounds. They are the first fatalities since anti-government protests began in November.

Ukrainian police will use force against protesters if unrest continues, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov has warned.

Do you really think that the police is using molotov's or is the just the story that they place on your news?
Because this won't show for sure, since the west support the rebels.

They should think about replacing their police batons with small fire extinguishers, that way when you run out of spray you can still wack people with them.

And damn, I thought the London riots were bad.. This is like 10x worse police organisation.

They are using molotovs which were thrown at them earlier.

The protest at Maidan Nezalezhnosti in Kiev has been going on for over two months now and it was quite peaceful until the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine illegitimately passed totalitarian laws on January 16, 2014.

The people of Ukraine are facing a choice: they can either fight for freedom or lose it entirely.

And you need to be goddamn Psycho to burn people alive, I understand to use a bat,nightstick,brick,stones but this is just sick, and I admire those cops how they take it all and don't fight back.
If I was getting bombed with all those cocktails I would start shooting those pricks in the knee's without thinking about it, as would probably most of us. I'm not saying that the cops are innocent.
In the end When this police force starts to fightback, machinery will do the trick and all the news from CNN to BBC will show footage of beatings of peaceful protesters.

If the bottle is bound to hit a few feet away from you and burn you anyway, one of your best options may actually be to catch it, depending on the circumstances.

Because we've done it before and know what a mess it is. Most citizens do not support us going to war and would rather leave the countries to sort themselves out than plough millions into war at a huge economical and human cost. We've got our own problems here too without taking on others. The UK has intervened in several Arab countries to remove a dictator and install a democratic system of government for that to be overturned by another dictator. Seems democracy does not fit the puzzle in Arab countries.

Yes, sure arresting people, that will work.. dude there is no way for them to arrest anyone, if a cop comes to cuff someone and there are twenty people bashing the cop to death there is no way he will arrest anyone, this isn't SAMP. people are afraid to die, nobody signed up for this shit, they are listening to orders, their order is to calm them, not arrest them, that is why they are hiding.

Because Islamic states are run on the basis of religion, which I think is wrong. They are also against anyone who isn't Muslim and treat women as second class citizens.

That is different to a religion imposing their beliefs on other people. You would not be insulting a religion rather a person, which is not the same. Under our system you would be granted a fair trial with a lawyer, with no chance of being executed for what you have said against the head of state. In an Islamic state however, I would find it quite the opposite.

Its starting to looks like a performance for the press since there is a shit load of reporters around ..they even built a catapult.A couple of thousand of riot police would solve this but its clear that the state doesn't want to engage...

You should really check your sources because they actually are shooting at civilians, and they're aiming for the head. They were previously using rubber bullets and hospitals are now filled with people who lost an eye or have other head injuries. Now, "Berkut" is using 12-gauge Blondeau slugs.

No, it formed after I worked with a few Muslims in a garage (who's main customers were also Muslim) and I heard things that I didn't know came from 'peaceful religious people' - My opinion after that will never change, thank god I quit that shit hole.
Okay, so if I work with a few Christians in a garage and hear bad stuff coming from them, I'll be against Christianity for the rest of my life? Very narrow-minded of you.


Hope everything will be settled in Ukraine soon, sad something like this had to happen.

Yeah, let's not read the Bible too because it influenced Christianity which made English knights and other european knights go to the holy land and kill the natives and pillage their towns!

Seriously, you are one of the most generalizing, racist, and closed-minded people I have come across on this forum. No wonder you always have a warning mark of some sort and few take your logic seriously. If I was operating under the same logic you just used against muslims, then after encountering you I would say that all Brits are over-nationalistic bigots who think Nazis fought in World War 1.

I've always known you for your low caliber of posts, but this is a new low that made me sick.



And individuals like that, people, are why you should not get all your information from only one or two sources.

You mean like forcing them to stay at home, having to cover themselves fully when they go out, not being allowed to drive? And I'm sure many more restrictions.

And Islam isn't a race so it can't be racism. :rolleyes:
Not every Muslim forces the women to stay home, more and more people are giving up the idea. Every religion needs to be modernized, I know. And the amount of women actually wearing the hijab/niqab is getting lower and lower. Quite blasphemous but it disproves your thoughts.

And I know it's not a race... I just couldn't find the word.. let's just stick with "discrimination".

- I'm not racist.
- No wonder I always have a warning mark? Yes, it's because forum admins sometimes go over board and and give 60+ moderation which takes months at a time to get rid of.

- I honestly would not care if you said the UK was a nationalist country, if it was it'd be a better place.

The government and the president is supposed to listen to the people and the nation, and since the president of Ukraine not is only rejecting to do what the Ukrainian nation wants (Them being the ones who elected him), but also use violence against them? That beats every single principle of democracy. I no longer take this country's government as a European democratical country, it's more than obvious it's turning into something Belarus is now.. A half communist half capitalist dictatorship licking Russian ass.

You should have done that in the XIV century; it's a bit late to do that now, don't you think?

Considering the $15 billion "aid," it is very likely that Putin bought Yanukovych. I guess this may be what caused the January 16 situation. I doubt we'll ever know the truth, though.

Today, all of Yanukovych's decisions are probably affected by his fear and desire to remain in power. I don't think Putin matters to him any more.

Well, that's questionable. The protesters are only a small part of the population; others still live just like they did before Maidan. A referendum could determine what the people want.

You should really check your sources because they actually are shooting at civilians, and they're aiming for the head. They were previously using rubber bullets and hospitals are now filled with people who lost an eye or have other head injuries. Now, "Berkut" is using 12-gauge Blondeau slugs.

 Half of the protesting people are just unhuman scum. Just the way they treat officers with pure brutality is saddening me. They're all brothers for f's sake. Just seeing this...I don't know how to call it...Fucking livestock throwing molotovs, lighting officers on fire, it's disgusting. Yes, police were authorized to use lethal force, but they don't. If they return the fire which they're given, those riots will soon come to an end, with mass graves of anarchist morons who thought they're gonna change something by beating up, killing and setting innocent officers on fire.
 Yes, there are cops who deserve to be set aflame, cops who should be driven over with trucks...But most of them are cowards who won't have the guts to step up on the front lines.
 Just the bravery of these officers standing on the fence should earn them respect and a better job and workplace. Ukraine, wake up. Brothers killing brothers won't help anyone. Kill the Politicians, they are the scum of the Earth, they should be set afire.

Jaka pretty much said most of what I was going to say. "[Are] to consider" is pretty much a huge-ass understatement after everything that has happened. You might as well have a kid fall on his head out of a tree and the parent saying "I think there's a possibility that maybe something is wrong with him".

Corruption, violence, and lawlessness of this magnitude deserve to be an urgent international concern. Yet they wait for months, and this even barely makes "side news" here in SE Asia. I can only hope the Ukranians get their freedom soon.

From what I've heard by hearing the news, reading forums and chatting with mates, Germany, France, U.S.A (Europe) stepped in Ukranie's territory to bring democracy. Half of population is for this fact, but the rest stands up for the communism. Some russian journalists were killed by Sniper; the number of deaths is numerous. I think that Europe brought into Ukranie's land special forces to inflame the population. I'm not sure, but these actions may look like with Romania's revolution from '89. To provoke the crowd were brought secret soviet agents to kill the citizens and to bring down the president.

Literally, people are wasting their lives for politics. For every movement, are needed sacrifices. I do believe that Europe is behind of this atrocity because they need resources, and Ukraine it's a mine filled with petrol. And another reason of this jungle which happens in Ukraine; Merkel is unhappy because of Europe's standards and wants to increase its expansion. Wants to expand E.U's army and also the economic system. If I am wrong with something, please do correct me. Anyway, Romania is willing to help Ukraine.

I'm getting so pissed off at the media only showing a one sided perspective on this case. Both sides is a mess. Protesters are violent and so comes a violent reaction. Police are severely wounded and killed, guns and Molotov cocktails are used by protesters and so guns are used in reaction as immediate self defence. Hell theres even been reported that several protestors are using live ammunation, and thats infact terrorism.

I'm getting so pissed off at the media only showing a one sided perspective on this case. Both sides is a mess. Protesters are violent and so comes a violent reaction. Police are severely wounded and killed, guns and Molotov cocktails are used by protesters and so guns are used in reaction as immediate self defence. Hell theres even been reported that several protestors are using live ammunation, and thats infact terrorism.

International law.

 You can own a part of sea that goes 24 nautic miles from your own inner sea waters. Even above that area you can claim some rights such as continental shelf that can go to 200 nautic miles and many more.

International waters are only the parts of the sea that exclude this areas.

I'm just kidding, we're not ready, we have cut back our army so much that it is literaly a defence force. As well as this, the public aren't in the mood for war anymore (e.g referendum on whether to intervene in Syria in which it was voted not too.

I see the potential for a peaceful solution here. We should offer the people of 'occupied Ukraine' the chance to have a referendum on whether they should be annexed to Russia (as I think Russia Putin wants). Hopefully then Putin will cease further invading Ukraine and starving it of it's sovereignty.

This whole incident is quite similar to what a certain German did before the outbreak of WWII when he wanted to claim German speaking nations as part his Reich. Exactly what Putin has done in entering Ukrainian soil without permission and demanding the control or war.



@KhornateMonkey Yes our defence budget is being cut, although we still operate a fairly strong Navy at present - with two supercarriers in the process of being built. They should enter service in about six years or so, which at the rate Putin is going on, may not be quick enough.

What WW3 are you people talking about? WW3 is being fought for years now, with the strongest weapon that countries(actually international corporations) have, money, finance and economy.

World War 3 isn't about tanks, rockets, soldiers, its all about economy. The economic cryses of 2008 was just one big battle in that war that's still going on.
You literately have to be blind and stupid not to see and understand that.

Militiaries and Armies are only used from time to time, in a small areas around the world, and its purpose is nothing else then to spend some of those weapons that hangars are full of in all major weapon producing countries.

@Eterminator, excuse me but unlike some Western Leaders who give huge bullshit when they try to justified some 'humanitarian intervention', Putin is loud and clear about their motives. If they wanted to do that, it would be already over, like you said nothing stands in their way, but they didn't, and those kinda of operations must be done fast, smooth, and swift, so they wont be doing that in the future.

Let me ask a question to all of you, Ukraine has 40mil populations, what if the majority of those people give support to Janukovich, and not to the Maidan protestors (who in order to have legimity of their actions should have at least 2mil people on the streets of Kiev not few thousands), same Janukovich who asked Russia to help and stop the illegal non-democratic taking over the Government, in which him and Russia are in tittle to by international law?
Cause that's the truth here actually, and the people who are called 'separatists' are majority of Ukraine, and of course they don't want to be under a illegal angry mob of few thousand people (in a country that has 40mil population) mostly financed and trained by Western countries, among who you got fascistic leaders as well.

But meh, lets just call Russia a big bad wolf, and the USA our savers like they've been in all other countries they intervene.

While the facts that you pointed out are true, it does not justify putin's invasion of another nation. Putin is not evil, or at least not any more than his Western counterparts.
However, the russian president in all his might and the intelligence of all his advisors, believes the best way to protect a minority in a country recently turned about by a semi armed protest/revolution is to invade the nation in the name of the minority?

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cb/Crimea_in_Ukraine.svg/250px-Crimea_in_Ukraine.svg.png)
As you can see, crimea still forms a relatively small part of ukraine. There have to be russian speaking minorities in other parts of Ukraine too. By invading Ukraine, putin agitated the majority of Ukraine, on valid grounds and in the name of the very minority he aims to protect. If anything, chances of pro-russian supporters getting hurt have been multiplied by the invasion.

Not only that, but was the Ukrainian police (And military if need be) insufficient to protect the people in crimea(Assuming that there is a threat to them in the first place. Correct me if i'm wrong but no proof or incidents have surfaced toward it so far)? Especially taking into account that in crimea, the majority is actually russian speaking. Hence they do not face any threat from insiders. I'm pretty sure people won't pour out into crimea just to try to kill russian speakers.
Not only this, but putin did publicly say that he has not ruled out the possibility of 'protecting' the minorities in other parts of ukraine. If anything, the invasion may very well encourage any racist (minority, hopefully) to attack russian speaking minorities, helping putin justify invasion of other parts of ukraine.

Also, i do dispute you about the part of Russia doing it fast or not at all. If anything, if russia randomly walks into another country guns blazing it is likely to get blasted internationally. The U.N, E.U and NATO would jump at the opportunity to seriously hamper the Russian economy (Much more severely than they claim to do now). Not only that, but it wouldn't be too hard for the U.N to convince other countries to do the same.
However if a gradual buildup in Ukraine to show support and need for Russia arises, it will be much easier for Russia to take Ukraine. Crimea heavily supports Russia, and at the same time makes Eastern Ukrainians mad. A few reported incidents against Russian speakers in eastern Ukraine is all Putin needs to take major chunks of Ukraine.

Also as you said about economy, this whole process is economy fuelled as well. Russia who has been closely linked to Ukraine enjoyed many trade privileges. For a revolutionary government to take charge, which pretty much came to power with the promise of leaving Russia for the E.U probably won't extend those privileges to Russia. Taking a large chunk of a economically healthy country probably helps his own economy too though.

This of course is all based on the theory that there is no real threat to Ukrainian minorities, which is my opinion. I would be persuaded to change my mind if any evidence and/or reports surface about legitimate threats to the safety of Ukrainians.

Edit: Yoske's post is certainly interesting. However this does not signify any threats to minorities, although a strong caution on the new government.

Stopped reading after this sentence. The government of Crimea REQUESTED Russian troops to be send to protect the Russian ethnic majority there. Funny how everything is centered around this while everyone seems to have forgotten that the current Ukrainian self-appointed 'head' of the state is a nationalist who illegally took his power with support of the EU. If Russia would want to invade Ukraine it would've wiped them out in less than 24 hours. :D

Nothing new though, same happened in Georgia in 2008 when they decided to attack Russian civilians in Abkhazia & South Ossetia, got their asses penetrated and resulted in massive butthurt of the West.

The government of crimea had no right to ask russia to do anything even remotely of the sort. Let alone the fact that it is the government who upon independence from Ukraine enjoy not only exponential power, but great popularity in any future independent states of Crimea or if Crimea is to be integrated into Russia.
That would pretty much cement the political presence of any crimean leaders and parties leading the revolution.

It should also be mentioned that the act by the crimean government, if anything, is treason and illegal as you seem to be so interested in the legality of things. Crimea is legally part of Ukraine, and it's elected officials have a duty toward their parent nation. Asking for and aiding an armed invasion by another country is an act of treason.
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/europe/2014/02/ukraine-parliament-ousts-president-yanukovich-2014222152035601620.html
The russian revolution was also illegal. The Ukrainian president was removed by a huge majority in his parliament, where the people voting against him were the representatives of the people of ukraine. Laws can and should be overturned when they become obsolete.

Also the question is not of wiping out, that'd be stupid as i pointed out should you of bothered to read. Any such attacks would result in just about the entire western side of the world exploding on Russia, but with the help of most Asian countries as well.
By slowly taking Ukraine, Russia is able to keep a large portion of Ukraine to it's own benefit with minimal cost. It's a game of strategy and money, afterall.

Again, i don't claim that this is necessarily so. However so far there has been absolutely no sign of any actual threat to the crimean people or the Russian minority in any parts of Ukraine (If anything, Russia has practically multiplied the risk of anything like it by invading Ukraine in the name of the Russian Minority).

You're wrong. And I'll explain you why:

First of all, it wasn't the Government of Crimea who asked Russia to step in, it was the president of Ukraine, who was elected by the entire population of Ukraine, and not from a group of few thousand people. This is a right by international law, that a legimit Government can ask a country near by to help them when theirs situations like it happen in Ukraine.

Second of all, and this is really important Russia DID NOT send a single soldier, nor did Russia invade Crimea, the Russian soldiers who are protecting the Crimea, are station in Russian bases on the Crimea they got full right to be there, and all they did is exit the bases compound to protected the civilians who are again majority Russians. They didnt went on invading or conquering Ukraine, they just took the responsibility of protecting the citizens that were in danger of everything that's happening in Ukraine. 

Crimea is part of Ukraine last 40-50 years, cause the Soviet Union who was run by Gorbachov, declared its to expensive to finance Crimea as a part of Russia, yet as part of Ukraine.

Cause of this Crimea is a specific region, and it was always just on papper part of Ukraine, while they had offical direct connection to Russia, Russian Government, and army, not to mention a high autonomy, similiar like USA and Hawai actually.

It should also be mentioned that the act by the crimean government, if anything, is treason and illegal as you seem to be so interested in the legality of things. Crimea is legally part of Ukraine, and it's elected officials have a duty toward their parent nation. Asking for and aiding an armed invasion by another country is an act of treason.
Like I said, its not if that aid is called by the offical legimit Government of that country.

The fact that right now Kiev is in the hand of a group of people who were not elected on democratic election, yet took power over the country from the streets is whats illegal here.

All I wrote here is in appliance and allowance by the International Law, and disregard my subjectivity, I'm finishing my studies, in which I passed INternational Law by the highest grades on the toughest law school in the region.

The government of crimea had no right to ask russia to do anything even remotely of the sort. Let alone the fact that it is the government who upon independence from Ukraine enjoy not only exponential power, but great popularity in any future independent states of Crimea or if Crimea is to be integrated into Russia.
That would pretty much cement the political presence of any crimean leaders and parties leading the revolution.
But the official president did, and he had the right to do so.

It should also be mentioned that the act by the crimean government, if anything, is treason and illegal as you seem to be so interested in the legality of things.

The russian revolution was also illegal. The Ukrainian president was removed by a huge majority in his parliament, where the people voting against him were the representatives of the people of ukraine. Laws can and should be overturned when they become obsolete.
Lol pls don't compare the Russian revolution to this. The few thousand protestors of Maidan have the 'right' to decide which law is obsolete and which isn't? For a country of millions?

Also the question is not of wiping out, that'd be stupid as i pointed out should you of bothered to read. Any such attacks would result in just about the entire western side of the world exploding on Russia, but with the help of most Asian countries as well.
By slowly taking Ukraine, Russia is able to keep a large portion of Ukraine to it's own benefit with minimal cost. It's a game of strategy and money, afterall.
The wiping out part was sarcasm, guess you missed it. You seem to forget that this isn't a game between Ukraine & Russia. It's a game between Russia and EU+NATO.

Again, i don't claim that this is necessarily so. However so far there has been absolutely no sign of any actual threat to the crimean people or the Russian minority in any parts of Ukraine (If anything, Russia has practically multiplied the risk of anything like it by invading Ukraine in the name of the Russian Minority).
Multiplied the risk? How so? Before stationing, or how you like to call it 'invasion', there was chaos and fighting all over Crimea. Now, all fights have stopped, no one died and not a shot has been fired. You should look past the blown up statements by the West once in a while.

Because people have different opinions, and reaching that medium where everyone agrees is impossible. The fact that this topic was made to people be aware about a thing that is happening, and while this progressed "slightly" in the meanwhile, you know the whole WW3 threat, I think it's appropriate for everyone to voice their opinion.

The ukrainian president was ousted from the country, hence the people of Ukraine who he claims to represent no longer recognize him as the president. He may have the ability to call foreign invasion on paper, but in the end he has just as much power as the queen of england does to ask russia to invade the U.S.

Secondly, i may not be a graduate in international law but Russia's license in sevastopol is only for them to house their fleet. It is not to invade Ukraine with it. Also you mention that they exited their bases and tried to make the Ukrainian forces Turn/Surrender in order for them to protect Crimeans. Yet, who do crimeans face any threat from? If they form the majority there as you say, why would their lives be threatened by EU favoring Ukrainians?
Also correct me if i am wrong, but the president of the country is the speaker for the parliament, and power remains with the Ukrainian parliament, which was elected by the people and was also responsible for impeaching the Ex president of Ukraine. Not just people who roamed the streets.
You keep straining that the president of Ukraine was elected by the whole majority, not by a few thousand people. Yet the people who ousted him were also the representatives of the people, they weren't elected by a few thousand people either. Ukraine's ex president fell out of favor with the people, and people protested against him. That's legal last time i checked. The president is not there to do whatever he feels like, he is a representative of the people and it is his duty to serve their wishes, not his own. Hence he was ousted, any legal powers he has is only the result of bureaucracy and should not be taken over the will of the people.

There were protests for crimea to succeed, not riots. And there are still (And a lot more) protests going on in crimea against Russian Occupation. The fighting hasn't stopped, if anything it's going strong. Also no one died, no one died earlier either. No shots fired, there would of never even been the need for a shot fired if Russia hadn't decided to just invade Ukraine in the first place.
Also there were absolutely no reports of the Russian minority in other parts of Ukraine ever being threatened. None. Nobody said anything to them, except small clashes at protests for-against.

If the Ex Ukrainian president had any care for ukrainian lives, why would he ask a external army to invade his own country to 'protect' lives knowing that it is the duty of Ukrainian troops to protect their country's sovereignty? What can Russia do that the Ukrainian Police and army can't to maintain Law and Order? Also what exactly has Russia done since they got there? Protests and clashes are still going strong and have only increased since Russian occupation as most Loyalists didn't bother clashing with the Majority russian speakers before, but now for the love of their country they dare to go out on the streets and protest against the Russian troops and even keep getting attacked for it and hence as the volume of anti russian protestors has increased, so has the intensity of the clashes.

Why would you compare a president asking a country he has no stable political relationship with to invade a country he has absolutely nothing to do with, with the Ukranian president asking for safety and protection of the Pro-Russian majority region within Ukraine. :uhm:

Secondly, i may not be a graduate in international law but Russia's license in sevastopol is only for them to house their fleet. It is not to invade Ukraine with it.

Hence he was ousted, any legal powers he has is only the result of bureaucracy and should not be taken over the will of the people.
All the questions you asked can be simply answered by googling. The illegally empowered politics that are going on now in Ukraine, powered by the EU, are setting laws which are absolutely NOT democratically chosen, but merely by the protesters who represent only their cause, like I previously said. The people protesting against Yanukovich were mainly, well, people, not political leaders of any kinds of movements. The only truly active political party within the mass was the nationalist party, which obviously was a minority, else there would have been a different president. This is just simple logic. Setting up an illegal parliament and pulling laws out of their asses that benefit a party with no democratic elected power whatsoever doesn't sound like the "will of all the people" now does it.

In democracy aswell a few people represent the interests of millions [Even billions in the case of India]. So by that logic, democrazy is useless? The few thousand people protesting were the ones who had the balls and the Ability to stand up to a ukrainian police formation shaped like a spartan war unit.

They did have widespread support of the people however, plus it is not the protestors who ousted the president. It was the legally elected parliament which did so.
Actually, the Russian revolution was much more complex than just a few people rioting against the Tsar, and I won't bother explaining it to you and will leave you to look it up yourself, to not derail the thread. The few people who stood up in Ukraine are the same people that firstly wanted an EU integration, then wanted an independent Ukraine and now are split between pro-independance, backed up by EU and NATO and pro-Russian 'movements', backed up by Russia. This easily proves that they don't represent shit but their own personal wish, and whoever supports them. If you're to blame the Russian government for invasion, in this case, it is as much of an invasion as it is of the EU's and NATO's. If they really cared for safety of Ukraine, they wouldn't support a specific group in the first place. Like I said, it's a game between EU+NATO on one side & Russia on the other.

Did you even read the very line you just quoted? Guess you missed it. If Russia is to stage a direct armed invasion of Ukraine, they would immediately get blasted by the western side of the world (Or E.U + NATO...) who would advocate bans to the South aswell.

Yeah just like in Syria, right? :lol: I thought the whole 'big WWIII feeling' was already a thing of the past.

Chaos and fighting all over crimea? Who were they fighting from?

Crimean pro-Russian majority vs. the Independent Ukraine minority in Crimea.

There were protests for crimea to succeed, not riots. And there are still (And a lot more) protests going on in crimea against Russian Occupation. The fighting hasn't stopped, if anything it's going strong.

[citation needed]

Also no one died, no one died earlier either. No shots fired, there would of never even been the need for a shot fired if Russia hadn't decided to just invade Ukraine in the first place.

wat
Kiev EuroMaidan protests death toll: 69-100

Crimean protests death toll: 0

Also there were absolutely no reports of the Russian minority in other parts of Ukraine ever being threatened. None. Nobody said anything to them, except small clashes at protests for-against.

[citation needed]
it's not about threatening, it's about non-democratical establishment of a new political power without having heard all the voices of the people.

If anything, by invading Ukraine in the name of Crimea Russia has aggravated any racists in Ukraine and gave them a fallacious means to justify attacking the minority Russia is invading in the name of.
But no one is invading anything. :neutral2: Unless you label every support from outside an invasion, then Syria was invaded by at least 15 countries last year. :lol:

Also, you should note that now all it takes to start a full blown shootout and deaths of many is one hotheaded soldier. One misunderstanding. That's all.

Let me repeat the things that were said a dozen times already, but just for the sake of it: The Russian soldiers 'stationed' in Crimea were ALREADY stationed there before all this began for the major part. They are in a state of alertness to protect the ethnic Russian population from getting pulled down the gutter together with the nationalists in Kiev. No one ever forced the people in Crimea to fight for Russia, yet they decided so themselves, and those people are the majority. As you like the term majorities, then what gives the few thousands of EuroMaidan the right to decide the faith of the other thousands who want entirely the opposite? EuroMaidan may overthrow their government, by your logic, as they wish, but people, by definition UKRANIANS who do not agree to that (in this case being the Russian ethnic majority in Crimea) may not? Weird logic.

Also, here's Russia accepting to integrate Crimea into Russia
http://time.com/15527/russia-embraces-potential-crimea-split-from-ukraine/
Yes, just like the majority of Crimeans want themselves.

Yep, definitely there for humanitarian purposes.
And for the 4th time or so, I don't know where you got this from. Russian soldiers in Crimea are there to protect the wish of the Russian ethnic MAJORITY, in Crimea. They don't want their rights being taken away just as much as the EuroMaidan protestors want, being encouraged by the West.

Seeing you like to bring up stuff that don't make sense, pull things out of the blue for the sake of argument, and on top of that, keep repeating the same things over and over again with different words, I won't bother reading your next wall post as basically the whole Crimea situation has been summed up by now.

So in the end, not only does Russia get Crimea, but also free fighter planes and warships. Yay!

“This region was always part of Russia, and it has strategic importance,” said Alexander Ivanov. “In the past, we fought Turkey here, and if necessary, we’ll fight them again in the future. We must have this port. Even if we need to fight NATO.”

"Also Monday, Russian military activity spread beyond Crimea and eastern Ukraine, as Russia commenced a large military drill opposite the shores of Kaliningrad, a small Russian enclave between Poland and Lithuania – both of which belong to the NATO alliance. Some 3,500 Baltic Fleet soldiers took part in the drill. Kaliningrad is of strategic importance to Russia because it’s the only northern port it has that doesn’t freeze over in winter."

If Russia is to stage a direct armed invasion of Ukraine, they would immediately get blasted by the western side of the world (Or E.U + NATO...) who would advocate bans to the South aswell.

Implying Russia has no one to support them. Russia won't go for a direct armed invasion of Ukraine, not in a million years. But if, for some reason, a war would break out then China and even North Korea (the whole country is basically a military base, must not be underestimated) would offer to help Russia.

The only thing the West can do is get UN to force Putin out. If UN's sanctions go trough then Russia will be blocked from pretty much all trade with the West and Europe. However Russia is rich on resources and they will still be able to trade with China, not to mention the fact that China would VETO those sanctions anyway.

While I do think Putin has lost some sense over the years, I'd much rather leave Crimea to him. Crimea and even Ukraine are people of the same culture, traditions and values as the Russians and it pains me deeply that they are in a conflict, especially since I've got family ties on both sides. With the Ukrainian government in a state of anarchy I'd rather let Putin handle Crimea than NATO or EU.

I agree with Putin being better equipped to handle Crimea, seeing as the Ukrainian Govt. clearly failed to control the masses there. That doesn't mean i'm in favor of crimean integration into the R.F though.
Crimeans may want to integrate into Russia, but that doesn't mean Russia has any right to storm into Ukraine and try to take Crimea. It's the message. You can't just walk into another country and take a large chunk of it because the other country is not strong enough to put up a fight. Putin's being a bully, who's to say China won't walk into India and just take a major chunk of it following Putin's lead.

If crimea really want to secede from Ukraine, they should properly identify that with the Ukrainian government. Directly trying to leave by means of armed Invasion is not the way to go.

Also while Russia would be isolated from both the American and European sides, it wouldn't be too hard to convince south asian countries (Except China ofc) and maybe even australia to follow Suit. Assuming Russia goes with a armed invasion that is.

Though again, what Russia is doing is wrong. For the most part Crimea is a semi autonomous republic and faced little threat from what was going on in East Ukraine, there was no need for them to ask Russia to invade. They should of informed the Ukrainian parliament and properly fought for their right to secede. If the Ukrainian parliament failed to recognize Crimea's wishes then Russia's actions can be justified for once.

You keep talking about the Ukranian government but it frankly has none left. The rebels (who are a minority, mind you) forced the President to bail country and then took control, only because he was collaborating with Putin. Putin himself considers Janukovitj the rightful leader of Ukraine (and I wouldn't be surprised if he's somewhere in Russia) and has moved in to defend the Russian citizens in Crimea. Not to mention the fact that the majority of Ukraine agrees with all of this, but the West paints another picture with the minority in focus.

He himself claims that he didn't send any troops, he just allowed those already stationed in Crimea to take action. Whether that is the whole truth or not is irrelevant, what is important is that The West should keep their hypocritical nose out of this. NATO has done this countless of times, but when Putin does it he is antagonised. Luckily he is a smart man and has figured out that the West is all bark and no bite. Even if the West tries something Putin will probably come up with a counter. He still has Snowden too.

While he could of tried to solve this conflict in many different ways, sometimes it's better to add fuel to the fire and just let it burn itself out. This way is the quickest and most effective one. If you want something done, do it yourself. The Government of Ukraine is no more, so Putin came in the name of all the ethnic Russians in Ukraine to set things straight and end the blooming civil war. He's got Russia behind him, he's got the majority of Ukraine behind him and he's got the true President of Ukraine behind him. United States and NATO are simply mad that Putin beat them to it, using their own tactic no less.

IF CRIMEA AND KOSOVO have the right to become seperate countries, so do SCOTLAND and TEXAS.

Now WHY is it allowed for Brit's and 'Muricans to stop their land's from breaking away, BUT NOT ALLOWED for Serbia and Ukraine?

Also 'Murican's have no land that is actually theirs, they did a genocide and almoast killed an entire human race (indians) and stole a f**king continend from them!

I am a proponent of Woodrow Wilson's self-determination, and the military force with which Russia's fronted its campaign with is of course not correct.

However, like you said aleksandar it's a shame that certain countries jump onto every political upheaval and stay on, imposing themselves, more than they need to. There's an inherent responsibility of the human race as a whole to protect its members, naturally, but there is also the need for collective states to step back sometimes and look at the laurels with which they so proudly fight. Beyond those they are not very different.

The US themselves have walked into dozens of nations in the last few decades, perhaps wielding not so dissimilar interests behind the rhetoric.

NATO violated the International Law when they bombed Serbia in 1999. They attacked one sovereign country without having a decision from UN Security Council. Even the ex. Chancellor of Germany Gerhard Schroder admitted that. What is happening at Crimea is violation of the International Law too, but someone has to put an end to Western propaganda forever.

Just for fun, let's replace names in last Obama speech:

Russian with: Albanian
Crimea with: Kosovo
Ukraine with: Serbia
Kiev with: Belgrade...

LET'S READ THIS ARTICLE AGAIN:
President Barack Obama declared on Thursday that a Albanian referendum on the future of a Kosovo would violate international law. Speaking from the White House, Obama said any decisions on the future of Kosovo, a pro-Albanian area of Serbia, must include the Serbia's new government."The proposed Albanian referendum on the future of Kosovo would violate the constitution and violate international law," Obama said. "We are well beyond the days when borders can be redrawn over the heads of democratic leaders."Specifically, the sanctions would target people who undermine Serbia's democracy and new government; threaten the country's peace, security, stability and sovereignty; are linked to misappropriations of government assets; and try to assert governmental authority over any part of Serbia without the consent of Belgrade. They would also prohibit U.S. persons from doing business with those who have been sanctioned."I hope that NATO can be dissuaded from further aggression and can be walked back from its perilous course," Schiff said.

Is USA is going to bomb Moscow like they did Belgrade to fix problem on Crimea?!

So can you please point out the part of my post that said i focused on one news source? Cause i seem to of quoted multiple in this very topic..
Also, just how is the source not authentic? The article provides genuine video footage, unless you are going to claim it is fake. Also, the only thing that says anything against it is your text-based input on a online forum where anybody can type almost anything. Let alone the fact that you have not even been able to cite any sources against it, and your very argument is plain.. illogical.
You really think another country takes your home and the entire state will just sit like Rosy birds cheering Russia, nobody standing up and opposing them?..
Also as you seem to claim that mass media is in some large conspiracy to hide information, please tell me the Borus theory of Ukrainian politics.

Please stop putting words in my mouth. You gave me one source, and it was BBC's, main mass media of the West, on top of that you admit that it is authentic, at least from your POV, which indeed implies that you focus on one news source. You want my sources? You should've asked earlier when I followed a live discussion of an Ukranian living in Crimea saying absolutely nothing is going on and the media is blowing it up as usual. Besides that, I have followed a few lectures online from my university who were held by Ukranians stating the facts plain and simple: the people don't know what they want, and explain the how's and why's. All you seem to do is circlejerking recycled opinions that have been countered twice now by me alone, so you try to personally put me in a bad light by implying I'm all hurdur conspiracy because I pointed out the lack of your perspective. What exactly is illogical in my 'arguments'? If you like to spit, then why don't you try and specify your saliva.

Now, besides your above post, it's also pretty remarkable that you, by your logic, fully support that if a government isn't 'sufficient' for the people, the people (on the streets) have all rights to do whatever they want, meaning you support Nazism as well? Because that's exactly how it went back in the 1933-1939 days a bit to the western side of Europe. People unhappy -> elect Hitler and no one intervenes -> WW2 :lol: Perhaps another example in hopes to get this through your head: Imagine, in your country, there are riots protesting against the government. Now, the government flees, without election, the protestors (note: not 'all' people ;) ) decide to put up a government that you do not agree with. I can't put it any more simple than this.

Let me give you a fair tip of advice; To get to know a situation, try to look at it in both ways, which you not only failed, but for the sake of the argument REFUSE to do so to not make yourself look stupid. Also, perhaps use other types of source besides BBC and Wikipedia to not make a fool out of yourself. Now that I feel that I've said everything in here, and in previous posts, pure out of informational purposes, you may continue circlejerking your logical fallacies to not making it look like you indeed have no idea what you're talking about. :D I'm only going to reply to your answer to the question I stated above.

First of all, what the hell?

Most countries in the world had their governments brought about by the people standing up to oppressive governments.
Drawing a baseless conclusion that "You support people standing up to their government? You're a nazi!" is an insult, and not only do you disrespect the millions that died in the Second world war and all of the nazi party's activities but the world community at large.
Then your second conclusion, "You think BBC is authentic? You focus just on it!", but you justify Russia Today to be authentic... and for the record, i actively check many websites including your championed Russia Today. Mind you, Russia Today never said there is no resistance in Crimea.

What exactly is illogical in my 'arguments'? If you like to spit, then why don't you try and specify your saliva.

There are 1.9 million people in crimea, and you claim that not a single person of those 1.9 million people is offended by a foreign country walking into their home with guns, shoving guns into the face of your country's soldiers in the area and capturing/stealing planes/ships belonging to the ukrainian government stationed in crimea.
Then, you claim that there is absolutely nothing going on. Just how is that not illogical?
There is evidence all over the web that there are large scale protests all over crimea against Russian occupation, but i doubt Russia Today glorifies it in detail.

If the president of the country has fled, then a acting president needs to be appointed in his place. The maidan protestors did not put in the acting president, the Ukranian government did.
Also, can you please cite me where it says that the protestors are ruling the streets? The government is the legally elected government comprised of the representatives of the people. The acting president is elected democratically by the Ukrainian parliament as is their policy, the same parliament which was elected by the people. Contrary to what you keep repeating, nobody from the maidan simply walked into the senate and became the president. The government is still the legally elected government chosen by the people of Ukraine. Maidan protesters were just protestors, just because the government took heed of their protest doesn't mean the maidan goers are running the country.

Putin saw his chance to grab Crimea and sevastopol, which is a very powerful strategic base and he took it. Putin is being a bully, and regardless of what either sources of media paint him out to be, he has no right to annex another country.

Then, you claim that there is absolutely nothing going on. Just how is that not illogical?
There is evidence all over the web that there are large scale protests all over crimea against Russian occupation, but i doubt Russia Today glorifies it in detail. Given the fact that you rigorously claim that Crimea is peaceful while there is clear evidence against it based solely on the claims "Russia today said so" makes me question who exactly is the one with limited perspective..
I even quoted the question specifically

The only point where i recycled anything is when you recycled your claim of maidan protestors ruling the country, when i had previously pointed out that the government is the legally elected government.

That's very fancy. Nice try with the Nietzsche quote and all, but that doesn't excuse your argument of being any more valuable than before. You keep nagging and repeating on and on and on about things that already were explained with obvious facts, at which point you just switch to something else I stated in order to personally try making me look like the bad guy. Seeing that you are unable to read my previous posts, let me be kind enough to sum them up for you:

>Russia didn't invade anything, no one is taking any homes, no one is shoving any guns in anyone's mouth as troops are stationed in legal bases in Crimea by international law
>You refuse to look at Crimea's history and demographical aspects
>I don't only look at RT as I only provided that link as the counterpart of your BBC link as I already stated my sources which, that you failed to bring me, are not all internet and news websites. My POV is Crimea, not Russia nor NATO.

You are also manipulating my sentences in forms (ref: the nazism) which yet again shows how clueless you are and insist in continuing the argument to put me in the black light to seem to know what you are doing. Try following the suggestions I gave you before to keep this healthy. ;)

You claimed that i didn't answer your questions, i quoted all your questions and my replies to it.
You claimed i am trying to attack you in my post. I posted all my references of you in which not a single attack against you has been made, whereas your previous post was filled with attacks against me. It is not something else you stated. It is exactly what you stated.

Then suddenly you post this, which is not at all derived from my earlier post but you didn't forget to steal contents from it and apply it into another context. Yep, i'm the one trying to switch to something else.

You are also manipulating my sentences in forms (ref: the nazism) which yet again shows how clueless you are and insist in continuing the argument to put me in the black light to seem to know what you are doing. Try following the suggestions I gave you before to keep this healthy. ;)
Again, you keep claiming that i don't understand what you are saying but fail to actually provide your explanation. Please kindly go ahead and explain to me what you meant by the nazism context instead of blatantly attacking me with generalities and accusing me of things i never did.
Not to mention the fact that your very use of the nazism context is disgusting, and shows to what lengths you are willing to go to try to fallaciously survive a debate.
You should not forget that Russia was born out of the Russian revolution, so was India, so was the U.S and many other countries. Regrettably Nazi Germany was one of them, and you manipulate the work of the Nazi Empire which slaughtered millions to fit into the context of Justifying Russian Intervention in Ukraine. Russia was born out of a revolution as well, don't see it needing any intervention.

But of course you stripped the statement and put it in the context of invasion to frame me.

oh god lol

You keep making references of how i keep repeating and nagging and what not, but fail to provide any examples whatsoever. Can you please mention where i constantly repeated something? (Other than where you claim that i don't understand something yet refuse to explain it, where you constantly claim that i am repeating stuff failing to provide any examples and also any repetitions that had to be repeated as a reply to you repeating the claim/question)
You don't ask, so I assumed you knew exactly what I was talking about. You want an example of yourself repeating? Reread the very same post you have just made. I'll point it out a bit lower in mine.

Apart from that, everything has been explained in previous posts from my side upon the Crimea situation, hence I refer to them. It's not a matter of me refusing giving explanation, but more of you refusing to read. If you're too lazy to do that then too bad because I will not spoonfeed you as I don't have the patience of being a teacher. :lol:

Also, yep, i switched to something else.

You claimed that i didn't answer your questions, i quoted all your questions and my replies to it.
But you continue to reply with something that has been countered already, wrapping it up in a nice post to make it look unique.

You claimed i am trying to attack you in my post. I posted all my references of you in which not a single attack against you has been made, whereas your previous post was filled with attacks against me. It is not something else you stated. It is exactly what you stated.
I'm not claiming anything, the fact that you use ad hominems to your argumentation speaks for itself.

It is not my fault you are unable to comprehend a basic example. In fact, I think you understood it perfectly as you have yet again turned it into an ad hominem in order to not make it look like you have exactly no idea what you are talking about. Surprise surprise, I have this pointed out already -> Your first example of your repetitions. I made the connection of your logic supporting the people on the streets picking a government without external intervention nor legal election. This is a very comparable situation to Germany during the interbellum. If you fail to see that, then it is your duty to go and look it up yourself as it seems to me you don't even know what happened. Again, I'm not a teacher.

>First of all, you took the shoving guns in people's faces out of it's original context.

You're the one shouting "INVASION!!!" on every chance you get. I use that to counter you, not my fault you get frustrated because of it. And if you doubt the international law pointed out by Cofi then you have just made yourself lose all credibility you had left. :|

>So essentially, just because crimea used to be a part of Russia, Russia has the right to annex crimea? (Which i highly doubt is legal. Taking over crimea is one thing, annexing it into it's own territory is illegal).
Again, blowing things out of proportion. I think I've said this 8 times by now :lol: And yet again: No one is annexing anything, no one is invading anything. Your argument is not only invalid, but amusing, as you asked for an example of you repeating yourself again and again as this is exactly the perfect example. A second one by now and that only from the post you just made. :D

>And yet your original post was

If you find it insulting of me pointing out your logical fallacies covering up baseless argumentation then I suggest you stop posting in order to not be 'insulted' in the future.  :)

There are 1.9 million people in crimea, and you claim that not a single person of those 1.9 million people is offended by a foreign country walking into their home with guns, shoving guns into the face of your country's soldiers in the area and capturing/stealing planes/ships belonging to the ukrainian government stationed in crimea.

Noone walked in anyones home, noone shoved guns, lol and noone stole anything, they are just there. It is not a foreign country we are the same people, as a matter of fact it was a US plan to brake the union in small different countries so it would be easier to neutralize them, thats just how war and strategy works, and it makes perfect sense from a military point of view, it was done countless times...

Then, you claim that there is absolutely nothing going on. Just how is that not illogical?
There is evidence all over the web that there are large scale protests all over crimea against Russian occupation, but i doubt Russia Today glorifies it in detail.

People don't just gather to protest... people have to eat, people go to the toilet, people waste their time, the shit doesnt disappear and there is no jesus that multiplies bread for people to consume, behind there is people with the financial capabilities to finance logistics for the movement to happen, this was made for more than 3 months, this was made by professionals, the money are being handed in cash boycotting tax.
Now you can count how many people were there and mow much money was spent, now where is this coming from if Ukraine is in all this deep shit because of bankrupcy?

Someone just used the situation as they have done before.

Yanukovich done his part, but as always he was just used and was about to be thrown away ))))) but that's a totally different story which as a whole was used as decoy.

The propaganda is made so you don't see who is behind it.

There is no discussion unless you guys are confronting propagandas :D

I just watched the Swedish EU commission's meeting with was streamed from the Parliament. Few points about energy and also a few about Ukraine and Russia. Sweden will take economically progress toward stopping trade agreements to Russia and also pay out emergency loans to Ukraine.

The newspaper wrote following;
The Swedish government and its Nordic and Baltic neighbours are ready to lend the new Ukrainian government money, Finance Minister Anders Borg said on Wednesday.

"There is no point in only sending money. There must also be possibilities to reform the politics," Borg said.

The Swedish government said that the IMF's review of the Ukrainian economy would determine exact loan conditions and interest rates. EU heads of government will also discuss such details next week. Ukraine has said it needs $30 to 35 billion in the next two years to reform and steady its economy.

"There's quite a considerable funding gap that needs to be filled," Borg said as he encouraged more EU nations to open their purses.

Sweden's stance will be put forward by Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt at a meeting for EU government chiefs next week.

"We want to first increase the pressure on other countries," Borg noted. "When Fredrik Reinfeldt at the EU meeting can underline that Sweden is ready then that puts pressure on the other countries to also help with bilateral programmes."

Borg can rely at home on the support of the main opposition party the Social Democrats, with whom he consulted before making the bilateral loan announcement, said Marie Grandlund, who sits on the parliamentary committee for EU affairs.

"It's important to show that we support Ukraine at the moment and it's important to send a message to Russia," Granlund said of the finance minister's plans. "So we are positive, but of course we have to look at what it entails and the shape it will take.["
