Yanukovych has fled the capital to an ethnic Russian enclave in eastern Ukraine. The capital of Kiev is now an open city. The national government has been deposed. LINK

Early today Yanukovych called the uprising a coup d'etat.

His next step will be to officially request Putin to send in security forces to restore the "legally elected" government.

Putin will send in tanks & helicopters under the pretense it is necessary to stop violence and save lives and to protect the ethnic Russians who are Ukrainian citizens.

He will also claim he has to protect Russia's interests regarding the billions of dollars Russia has loaned to Ukraine which Putin will claim was made only on behalf of the Yanukovych government.

And, of course, it will only be "temporary."

Obama will issue a strongly worded press release.

Yeah the best he can do is head to a drought and golf on a billionaire's private golf course.

If Tymoshenko is as persistent as she is reputed to be, is she dead meat? She already has the protestors feeling pretty giddy.

No oil. No care.

On that note are you advocating Obama send in ground troops to counter the Russian moves?

Because unless you are your stinger really has no point.

Oh wait...



...this is one of these type of threads.

Putin will most likely wait a little bit for all the opposition groups to start fighting each other, which is already occurring. Then his "liberation" will have more legitimacy.

Was the Parliament's action extra-Constitutional?

I have a feeling that Putin is going to frick stuff up in Ukraine once the Olympics end.

Obama needs to STFU. He has no authority or jurisdiction. Not to mention that side of the world doesn't favor the U.S. nor do they give two shits what Obama has to say. That's the problem with this country always budding their noses in world affairs.
