Pro-Russian Protesters Storm Kharkiv City Administration Building; Russian Flags Hoisted Across East Ukraine
Even as Russia has officially deployed its military to the Ukraine, its unofficial involvement in The Crimean was well known for days. A much more notable development would be if protesters in the pro-Russian eastern part of the country were to seize control of the second largest city in the Ukraine, Kharkiv, located just miles from the Russian border as this would quickly give Russia a foothold into the east of the nation with the tactical escalation abilities such a takeover would entail. Which is why the following clip of pro-Russian protesters storming the city administration in Kharkiv is of importance: should Ukraine lose control of the city, or is forced to use troops against the people, it would be just the pretext Russia needs to "defend" citizens in this part of the country, the same argument it used for military intervention in the Crimean.
The UNIAN news agency said thousands of people had gathered outside the building during a protest against the country's new leaders who ousted President Viktor Yanukovich a week ago.
The violence signalled that Ukraine's new leaders could face a challenge in mainly Russian-speaking regions that oppose the largely pro-Western course charted by the newly installed government.
Kharkiv is not the only place where Pro-Russian forces are finally speaking up.
The leaders of Crimea, a Black Sea peninsula with an ethnic Russian majority that is home to a Russian naval base, say they have joined forces with Russian servicemen to exert control over key buildings.
Russian parliament has approved a proposal by President Vladimir Putin to deploy troops in Ukraine.
Protests against the new authorities also took place on Saturday in other cities, including Odessa, Dnipro and Donetsk, Yanukovich's home town and power base.
The Russian flag was raised over the regional government building in Donetsk by several thousand pro-Russia activists waving the Russian tricolour and chanting "Russia! Russia!, witnesses said.
Russian flags are being put up across the east Ukraine (source Venoru):
And in other news, Ukrainian boxer, vocal leader of the EuroMeidan opposition movement and potential future president, Vitali Klitschko just called for a general mobilization. After all he has the most to lose if the countercoup quickly sweeps away from power those who organized the original coup in the first place. From Reuters:
Vitaly Klitschko, a senior Ukrainian politician and likely presidential candidate, called on Saturday for a "general mobilisation" following Russian parliament's decision to approve deploying troops in Ukraine's Crimea region.
"Klitschko calls for a declaration on a general mobilisation," the retired boxing champion's political party UDAR (Punch) said, making clear he favoured a military mobilisation.
Finally, the world's most useless organizations, the UN and European finance ministers, are pretending to be relevant:
- UN SECURITY COUNCIL TO MEET 2PM TODAY TO DISCUSS UKRAINE
- EUROPEAN FOREIGN MINISTERS TO HOLD EMERGENCY MEETING ON UKRAINE IN BRUSSELS ON MONDAY -EU DIPLOMAT
Time for another Obama appearance to explain just what the "costs" that he mentioned are in his opinion. Because Putin seems to have missed the message.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
Remember this when kids fight in the playground what is the question the adults invariably ask when they pull both parties aside.
Who threw the first punch if it wasn't a 'sanctioned' fight. Last time I checked it wasn't the Russians.
mobiization of EU/USSA sponsored thugz <Russian military
brain-damaged German shill...
President Obama has just declared that he will act unilaterally to increase import duties on Russian Vodka by as much as up to 4% if Russian troops aren't withdrawn from Ukraine immediately.
No, 6% tax on Vodka and Caviar, and Obama will not attend the G8 in Sochi.
Putin is in disarray, and will soon recall his troops!
What is Chuck Schumer going to do with his SPY calls if this market breaks lower?
it's also eerily similar to Hitler and Austria and the Czech republic
East Ukraine = Sudetenland. 1938 = 2014. Soon Obama = Chambelain. Peace in our times bitches.
To die for the Crimea? I think not....
"Ukraine's Acting President(!?) blah-blah-blah The new government in Ukraine(!?) blah-blah-blah"
Who is the "Ukraine's Acting President" and "new government"? In Ukraine today there is no "acting president" and "new government". In Ukraine today there is only one legitimate, democratically elected President - Yanukovych. And also there is an illegitimate Pretender, who came to power through unconstitutional and undemocratic way - with weapons and through bloodshed. Surname of the criminal and impostor - Turchinov. Eventually he and his whole gang will be arrested and prosecuted.
Criminals, who seized power in Kiev undemocratic, unconstitutional, with arms in their hands, through bloodshed, have no right to make any statement on behalf of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. Criminal rebels illegitimate.
So is this what Obama was referring to when he was caught on mic telling the Russians that he would have much greater flexibility in working with them after his re-election. How flexible does he need to be? Can he touch his toes?
Welp Sarah had Obama pegged on this one...
http://heavenbounf.blogspot.com/2014/03/sarah-palin-as-usual-was-right-a...
He actually said he will send another group of gay people to insult Putin's fashion and scratch his eyes out.
While the Obamatron was busy trying to tony up the Werld with his Red Crayon, Putin decided to re-draw some thin blue ones. A slimmed-down Ukraine was heard to exclaim: "It's to die for!!"
What, the banksters and brainless idiots in the white house/eu/un/soros/whatever the fuck it is thought russia was just gonna sit idley by and let them take their historical "homeland"???
Or, was it on purpose?
Well they did it to the Serbs in Kosovo, and then the US bombed them when they tried to take it back. Must have thought they could get away with it twice.
Russia was still in turmoil economically/militarily/politically and wasn't in a position to do much. Russia's sphere of influence is expanding...
not to worry. Soon, Barry will turn his attention to the NCAA brackets....it gives him a chance to spend a lot of time with Reggie Love.
Putin will probably offer Chernobyl as a concession, and 0zer0 is so stupid he will probably jump at the offer, and then try to spin it as 0zer0 being a tough guy that brough Putin to his knees.
Yup. When the EU-funded opposition did this to Kiev last week it was promoted in western MSM propanda as people standing against tyranny. This in Crimea will no doubt be promoted as Putin's rabble-rousing terrorists fighting for oppression.
And the sheeple in the USA and EU will suck of the deceptive propaganda and feel all smug parroting it.
GO PUTIN!
I thought if you liked your tyranny you could keep your tyranny? So now they have to get a whole new "improved" tyranny at twice the cost?
Probably buried on page 352 of the new Obamacare law. We're still reading to find out what's in it!
Putin has played a blinder again. If Western Ukraine troops attack Russians that will be it, all out war. Putin wants the whole of Ukraine and he will get it.
No, he does not. Since the West decided to station troops right on Russia's borders, he is doing hwat he has to do. He does want the historically Russian provinces to be safe under his protection, and for Ukraine not to allow NATO/US troops to be stationed in Ukraine.
Smegley, the sheeple in the USA think Ukraine is one of those really tall things you see at a construction site. US citizens don't give two shits about anything past the tip of their own noses. If it ain't gay marriage, abortion, welfare, immigration, or those evil assault weapons, it may as well not exist.
And I'm talking about both teams.
You are dummer than you thought.
Dustbin Beeper proves that you deserve all those red-arrows!
One of the single funniest comments I've ever read on the hedge...awesome
My contacts in the EU tell me that they don't see what the Ukrainian fuss is all about, as their government is no more incompetent, bloated or corrupt than any other.
In their view, if they are marching in Ukraine, they should also be marching throughout the EU and the US.
So, the EU still has cake to eat?
Vitali Klitschko (JEW) whose yarmulke was tossed into the ring as a potential President.
"A reshuffled Ukrainian Parliament installed following a coup last week has voted to appoint Arseniy Yatsenyuk as the new prime minister of the country. Yats, as Victoria Nuland (JEW), the Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs at the U.S. State Department (JEW), called him, is a natural choice. He is a millionaire former banker who served as economy minister, foreign minister and parliamentary speaker before Yanukovych took office in 2010. He is a member of Yulie Tymoshenko’s (half Jew) Fatherland Party. Prior to the revolution cooked up by the State Department and executed by ultra-nationalist street thugs, Tymoshenko was incarcerated for embezzlement and other crimes against the people of Ukraine. Now she will be part of the installed government, same as she was after the last orchestrated coup, the Orange Revolution.
Yats will deliver Ukraine to the international bankers. “Ukraine is on the brink of bankruptcy and needs to be saved from collapse — Yatsenyuk has a strong economic background,” Ariel Cohen (JEW), senior fellow at the Washington-based Heritage Foundation, told Bloomberg (JEW) on Wednesday. “Ukraine faces difficult reforms but without them there won’t be a successful future.”
Discussion with the IMF is crucial, US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew (JEW) said earlier this week. In order to cinch the deal, the U.S. government will sweeten the pot. Lew talked with the IMF (JEW) boss, Christine Lagarde (JEW), about Ukraine as he headed back from a globalist confab, the G-20 meeting in Sydney, Australia.
“Secretary Lew informed Managing Director Lagarde that he had spoken earlier in the day with Ukrainian leader Arseniy Yatsenyuk and advised him of the broad support for an international assistance package centered on the IMF."
SAME AS IT EVER WAS
Chemy I think you forgot to put up this link of Kitschi baby
http://rafzen.wordpress.com/2013/12/03/kliczko-lubawicz-kaczynski-and/
So the thugs in Kiev were against the Berkut mobilizing against them and using guns to defend themselves against their guns and molotov cocktails (in WW2 the Japanese were more scared of the flame throwers than being shot) but now Klitschi baby is more than willing to mobilize and use them against those who oppose him LOL, oh but wait I forgot his side had guns from the beginning, makes sense now.
Rook to H5.
It will be Check Mate before wednesday and we'll have 2 days for the spx to go back to all time highs after a brief sell off(maybe)
O has it under control.
teachable moment? i can hardly wait.
So what is the sell side story on this? MIC funding? More liquidity injections for the EU out of the back door of the fed? Vodka price spikes? Duct tape and plastic sheeting? Iodine?
Its the weather of course! DUH!!@
Obama- Where the fuck is H5 on this checker board?
I am bored with Ukraine, a bunch of stupid people doing a bunch of stpud things in a stupid place far away.
Can't we have some banker bashing articles? Welfare queens? Insult the "tribe" a little bit?
Tylerbots need some red meat!
The second o in your last name is missing. Didn't know if you had noticed.
+100 lol
For fun, you could google 'Crimea', and read about all the different times this particular piece of geography has found itself in the middle of international politics and multinational conflicts.
I could go for some good old Hillary bashing or McCain trashing.
i'm sure pootie is shakin' in his booties
sittin' on all that oil, gas, and nookies
what goes around, comes around bitchez
Best outcome for an independent Ukraine instead being a dog on a leash to one or the other is for the Ukrainian military to step in surround the place and clean house of EVERY politician regardless of EU/Russia leanings and duke it out at the ballot box within the guidelines of their sovereign Constitutional law with neutral party monitors non EU or Russia trying to oversee the process.
You must be new here, I love your optimism
Back up there spanky did I say they would only they should. I'm not forcing solutions on people whether they want them or not like a parasitic entity using their mercenaries err contractors to stir up trouble in the first place, just using the company suggestion box is all.
Russia was leaving the Ukraine alone and independent. It is NATO that is trying to take the place over. We should keep that in mind. The US funded revolution is a power play to put NATO within a few hundred miles of Moscow. It is a dangerous game, because this didn't have to happen. Ukraine has a vote and elections, any opposition could run, they held power before, but voters kicked them out. Now they use guns to come back into power using rightwing nazis?????
Bingo!
Our administration's policy response will be to draw kittens with crayons or something.
A sternly worded letter would do nicely.
With CAPS-LOCK on.
That'll show 'em.
DAMNED STRAIGHT!
obamao- 'send in pussy riot to desecrate a church, that will surely turn the Russian people against putin, and the media will eat it up'.
Hey now, let's not do anything rash.

One might think Obama's message went over Russia's head but it really never left the launch pad: it's called rocket science.
Don't forget to buy your Gold Bitchez
Power through chaos. Some how, by leading from behind, America seems to be involved in country after country suffering a dissolvement of their leadership leading to chaos. Leaderless countries equal borderless countries? One ring to rule them all?
Unlike the USA in Iraq, Russia knows how to install puppet regimes -- so sorry Ukraine!
Ukraine WW3 ?
Russian legislators approve troop deployment in Ukraine
russian soldiers to Kiev soon?

No one can really afford a big war right now so they just try to maintain a boiling pot on every burner. Lets just see how many they get get going.
I'm sure Lurch, aka the Sect of State is on this...
he was 'on it' before he wasnt 'on it.'
But then who will sit home with ThereZa?
The US has sent in its clowns,Obama, Kerry and Hagel, to center stage for comic relief.
Curly, Larry and Moe?
too generous
I say send in the plagerizer Biden! He can do the work of three men!
Laughing all the way
Didn't Chuck-E-Cheese already say this was Lurch's & Bozo's mess to clean up?
(which would be smartest words he ever uttered)

Boxer: effective but boring; may have questionable chin. Size is his real advantage
Politician: rank amateur, to be exposed as such soon.
Putin should airdrop leaflets over western Ukraine that have all of the ECB and 'European' member states debt listed on them. They should also include all of the unemployment numbers for France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy ect... and the definition of Bail-In...
Putin should drop leaflets allover the EU with one simple sentence:
Tax rate in Russia 12%, those in favor of increasing taxes sent to Siberia.
Instant mass defection.
Taxes have absolutely nothing to do with stealing a countries assets and instituting an oligarchy....
It is a way for them to give you a % or two and own the country.... Therefore another circus...
Well guess who owns the country in the US and the EU, without even giving me a % or two. In fact they want to make me pay an extra % or two, every time our domestic oligarchs fuck up.
Include what Ukraine's govt owes the other countries, including Russia -- they might come to the correct decision, instead of looking for Unicorns pooping skittles...
Russian troops enter east-ukrain on masse, this is not crimea, east-ukrain...so this is war.

Rodney Atkinson describes the situation quite well here :
RUSSIA, THE EU AND THE UKRAINE - GERMAN EUROPE'S IMPERIAL WAR
Rodney Atkinson
.... In April 2004, an agreement between Kiev and NATO was imposed on Ukraine whereby NATO troops can freely enter Ukrainian territory. ....
http://www.freenations.freeuk.com/news-2014-02-25.html
Rodney Atkinson ( Mr. Bean's brother ) used to be a political advisor to the UK Thatcher Government.
This is from his website FREENATIONS .... devoted to stopping the "EU" .
FWIW
Oh, hi mirror.
Another GD destabilized mess of a country and failed coup brought to you by the USA. If this screw up does not start ww3, the next one will.
Or the next to the next one.
Latest news: not yet confirmed, hundreds of nato troops landed in ukrain, they say its a excersize? WTF!! Is this a movie??? Where are my pills???

http://xandernieuws.punt.nl/content/2014/03/NAVO-troepen-landen-in-Oekra...
The U.S. 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean has been high state of readiness. Two warships, which in the context of securing the Olympic Games in Sochi, were in the Black Sea, are directed to the waters in Ukraine. It is the frigate USS Taylor and the command ship USS Mount Whitney .
The last ship is equipped with advanced intelligence systems, which the Russian military movements in the region can be held. Closely monitored Whether President Obama actually takes reprisals against the Kremlin, however, is completely unclear. Until now, there is only talk of a possible boycott of the planned summer G8 summit in Sochi. (3)
yeah, riiiight (seriously, someone get his pills)
landed, on what? viking longboats and magic carpets :D

There will be no WWIII. No resources to really fight about. All wars are about resources and money.
US just wanted to dish out some payback for Syria. You fucked up our pipelines from Qatar and Saudi Arabia, we fuck up yours in Ukraine.
This show is the cost to Putin for embarrassing US on Syria. US is already backing off and the West will not mobilize any more being huffs and buffs.
If you like your Ukraine, you can keep your Ukraine!
What about distraction from the fact that we are in the middle of a system-crash..WW3 would do the trick. Then they can say its the war, not us, that fukkedup everything!
Just wait till the EU boycotts Russian natural gas. Oh boy, that'll teach Putin!
should Ukraine lose control of the city, or is forced to use troops against the people, it would be just the pretext Russia needs to "defend" citizens in this part of the country, the same argument it used for military intervention in the Crimean.
_________________________________________
That is the usual argument used by 'americans' anytime they want in a country. Not sure that Russians can adopt the same behaviour as 'americans' do not recognize other people the same right to action.
Once again, all those events show how much 'americans' think ahead. They are leading the game and the Russians dance to the tune.
Those rioters have weapons like stones, firecrackers to seize an official building. Un preparation.
On the other hand, in the 'american' initiated rioting in the west, demonstrators were drilled in urban warfare, ambushed the police forces etc Preparation was fine and nice before 'americans' planned it ahead.
...Paging AKAK... Is Akak in the house?
.
This is a true and honest assessment. No matter how anyone chooses to spin it, the US government is not the global policeman. It is the global bully. It will always find 100 reasons to justify its bullying. In every circumstance, it will always craft a reason to explain why its violations of national sovereignty, violations of international law, and violations of treaties do not apply to it in that circumstance.
Should someone who is not a member of the US bully gang try the same behavior, the US government and its lapdogs (UK, France, Germany, NATO, et cetera) will climp atop their rickety soapboxes and shriek at the top of their voices about how the new Hitler du Jour is threatening world peace and order and must be stopped.
While it is undeniable that a cloak of lies can be very comforting, the moral high ground claimed by the US is fictitious.
If you like your communist Ukraine, you can take your communist Ukraine back.
What is the difference between communist Russia and the communist technocrats of the EU ?
<-- Valid point
<-- Flame
Russia doesn't favor ethnic and sexual minorities over the majority but defends traditional Russian culture and family values.
Russia banned lace underwear.
That's all i need to know.
The Russian medical students in Ukraine are in danger!
Odessa is key, look for Russian forces to make sure they have control of Odessa.
From there they will move north-west and take as much as they can without firing shots or rolling tanks.
If Ukranian forces attack, the Russians can roll the tanks to "protect Russian citizens" and the "Democratically elected Yakunovich who was ousted by a fascist coup".
What's NATO going to do? The U.S.?
Vlad has already won this one.
NATO must send troops in to defend the Eastern part of Ukraine. That's the plan.
Now, if everybody remains calm and cool, the country will be split up, sliced in half by the Dnieper. However, since the aim of the international banker cartel is WWIII, expect some shooting between US and Russian forces... accidentally, of course, or some other false flag-inspired action that quickly escalates.
The global economy needs a massive bail-out, and world war is always the best fix. Glad I'm 60 and not 18. The US will have to re-establish the draft, but, this could take a while. Remember, we didn't get involved in WWI or WWII until it was already raging, so give it six months at least.
If the Russians aren't stopped at Ukraine, they will continue to march East. Putin is an autocrat, a dictator, and views his role as payback for the disintegration of the Soviet Republic. He will not stop on his own.
Our leaders are limp-dicked suckholes, to be sure and all good Americans should be resisting any inducements by the government to involve the people.
I'd say this should escalate into mammoth uprisings in places like Rome, Paris, Barcelona, London, Athens, Warsaw, Lisbon, etc. Break up the EU, stomp the bankers into the earth where they belong. The world population should be "going rogue" on their governments.
This isn't over. This could really backfire for Russia. Where do they go from here?
Just need to remind people that Defense Sec. Chuck Hagel has quite the checkered past, dating back to his "miracle" election to the senate in 1996.
Hagel was the original vote-rigger, owned part of ES&S...
There's tons of info on this prick, if you look for it. He's as illegitimate as Obozo.
Seems to be a douchebag puppet
Darnn citizens - they keep getting in the way... The US and EU are 'backing' the western Ukraine citizens that overthrew the democratically elected government and are using it to justify sanctions and possible force against Russia. Now, the 'citizens' of eastern Ukraine are rebelling against the new self-appointed Ukraine government. We will either get hypocracy or civil war.
Best defense is a good offense.
The rooskies would not have a clue if Ukranian tanks dashed across the border.
Half jokes aside, this is serious sh-t. Western Ukrainians are not Russophiles.
