If Ukraine’s former top cop called on people to grab baseball bats and helmets, then he rightfully was ousted from his job! This guy would be in prison in any country, but Ukraine is not supposed to be a “democracy”, isn’t it?

WASHINGTON — Intelligence officials investigating how Edward J. Snowden gained access to a huge trove of the country’s most highly classified documents say they have determined that he used inexpensive and widely available software to “scrape” the National Security Agency’s networks, and kept at it even after he was briefly challenged by agency officials.

Is it a joke or is this America?

Well the guy worked for NSA so the Irony s ripe

Its when those bats turn to guns which at this rate won't beto long and Signing up to join the SDF is like hanging your self seeing as when this turns nasty and the Protests get quashed all their names are there on a list plus they also become targets for the opposition when or if they gain power as these guys are likely to stand up against them when their Democracy fails

In Turkey, political uncertainty is possibly the most challenging since 2001, writes Murat Ulgen, HSBC’s chief economist for Central & Eastern Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa. The corruption allegations and investigations that erupted in December implicate government-tied officials just ahead of local elections March 30, and presidential elections this summer.
Turkish lira has descended by roughly 7% since corruption investigations were launched, while the Turkish stock market is down about 9%.

Ukrainian diplomats from Turkey, Germany, US and Finland are shifting from Yanukovych

The first sign of discord within Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry over the government’s treatment of EuroMaidan protesters happened on Nov. 30.
After discovering that police used brutal force to clear Independence Square of mostly student protesters, then-General Consul to Turkey Bohdan Yaremenko wrote on his Facebook page: “This is how chasteners and invaders behave. This is how the Nazis behaved.”
Dissent scaled up on Feb. 4 with the appearance of an online petition by current and former members of Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry through the blogging platform WordPress.com. As of Feb. 11, it has 115 signatories, 76 of whom are current members of the foreign service, including honorary consuls.
Yaremenko is signatory No. 76. Also signed on are Maksym Kononuchenko, consul to Finland, Iryna Lysenko, consul of the General Consulate in Munich, and Oresta Starak, first secretary of the Ukrainian embassy in the U.S., among others.

February 16 (RIA Novosti) – Ukraine’s boxer-turned-opposition politician Vitali Klitschko said Sunday he has given up his residency in Germany to prove his right to run for the president next year.
The leader of the Udar political party, Klitschko, 42, has spent several years living and paying tax in Germany rather than Ukraine.
Under the legislation, candidates for presidency must have been resident in Ukraine for the 10 years preceding the ballot.
Klitschko, who will have been living in Ukraine for nearly 8 years by election in 2015, could be directly hit by the law.

This is where Obama, Cameron and Merkel are forced to show their hand...

Will they foolishly rush NATO forces into Ukraine to protect their irregular infantry and militant groups or will they be left to their own devices?

my guess is that they will arm and fund and then when the Russians roll in if they do, then we will see moves being made as in countries surrounding Ukraine having the 1st pop then as they would be 1st to receive an influx of refugees, and we need to remember that Assad's deadline is at the end of June I think it is the US are still swinging chapter 7 around as a threat and there seems to be some publicity with N.korea regarding Torture and concentration camps we IMO are being prepared for something big I would love to know what was said in that meeting between Putin and the Ukrainian President at the start of the Sochi games and I feel we will be finding out soon

End of the road for us. Central squares cordoned off, not letting ANYONE inside
