[b2stealth]

President Kuchma:

"Goverement was warning before, provocations of so-called "truthful news" on the 5 channel TV network were directed to undermine goverment"

5th TV channel was SHUT DOWN today in Lugansk region of UKRAINE because it was only broadcast channel giving air time to opposition and showing live what was going on in Ukranian cities after elections..

Don't like how things are going.....

[Edgerunner]

The Iron curtain falls on the Ukraine.
I don't think the Ruskies know the repercussions of what is happening there. These people have had a taste of freedom, they won't go quietly into the night!

[Earthdweller]

Getting ugly....

[Zenith]

They GOTTA' fight !!

You have to give up some blood and treasure to change the way the Commie's want it to be !!

[skullocrushah]

This is of major importance, we cannot underestimate the importance of this. The cold war is not over as it clear to all observers, we have to get our man in.

Agreed..so how will this be accomplished? I see a major battle ensuing here. Let's hope someone thinks quickly enough to stop it.

Here comes WWIII...is there a country left on this planet without a major gripe. It seems one half of the world is already fighting the other. Perhaps it's time to huddle with our allies and work up a game plan. This is the beginning of something big; the match that will finally set afire the whole combustive mess.

[Edgerunner]

As read from the book of FREEDOM!

[Edgerunner]

The Navy is likely on alert...Anyone know how our military is handling this?

[F16Fighter]

Any word on when the Russian tanks and Army swarm in? (Or if the Euros cowering under their covers yet?)

Privet, dorogoy!

Da, u nas slozhnoe vremya.
Kuchma s Yanukovichem sfal'tsifiroval vybory. I takimi gryaznymi metodami. Oni dali bol'she milliona otkrpepnykh talonov i ugolovniki ezdili po strane i golosovali po pyat' i bol'she raza. A takzhe nasil'no zabirali u lyudey pasporta i po nim tozhe golosovali za Yanukovicha. A v Donetske tak voobshe neinteresovalo mnenie lyudey, vbrasyvali ugolovnye ehlementy v urny nuzhnye byulletni. Seychas ves' narod na ulitse otstaivaet svoi prava. A segodnya TsVK ob'yavila podbedu Yanukovicha, takoy tsinism. Kuchma ne poyavlyaetsya pered narodom, govoryat on v zapoe.
Raduet, chto mnogie goroda prinyali na sessiyakh reshenie o tom, chto podchinyatsya budut tol'ko Yushchenko.
Kieyvlyane progolosovali za Yushchenko 75 protsentov i Omel'chenko, mehr Kieva, prinyal reshenie na Kievsovete o podderzhke Yushchenko.
K Kievu podtyagivayutsya voyska i tekhnika, militsiya. No samoe strashnoe, chto Putin prisylaet omonovtsev, kotorye pereodevayutsya v nashu formu i im prikazano strelyat, esli bol'she 50 chelovek narushit granitsu, kotoruyu oni okhranyayut.
Polozhenie strashnoe.

"Hello!

"Yes, we are in complicated times.
"Kuchma and Yanukovich did a fake election, and with such dirty methods. They gave out more than a million voter forms and criminals travelled about the country and voted five or more times. And they even took people's passports by force and used these to vote for Yanukovich. And even in Donetsk they could care less about the people's opinion, they just tossed ballots in whatever boxes they felt like. Now the entire (Ukrainian) people is on the street demanding their rights. Today the TsVK (Central election commission?) declared Yanukovich's victory, such cynicism. Kuchma won't show his face in public, they say he's on a bender.
"It makes one happy that many cities have held special sessions and decided that they will not follow anyone but Yushchenko.
"Kyiv residents voted for Yushchenko by 75%, and Omel'chenko the mayor of Kyiv and the city counsel has voted their support of Yushchenko.
"Troops and armored vehicles are moving toward Kyiv, as well as police. But the most frightening is that Putin is sending OMON (SWAT) police, dressed in our uniforms and they've been ordered to shoot if more than 50 people cross the border of what they are protecting.
"The situation is frightening."

[Velveeta]

Prayers for the Ukrainians.

[Earthdweller]

For Christ sake W, I hope you guys are working your butts off on this one behind the scenes. I have faith in ya.

[Lukasz]

My God, for all this years as Kuchma was president of the Ukraine, he was such a zero and now he trying to be important.

[GOP_1900AD]

Hey Skullo, great to run into you over here!

I saw a report that at least some of the military were indicating support of Yushchenko. Things might get very interesting at day break. Check out the latest over at TFP ...

Cheers!

[GOP_1900AD]

RE: Kyiv residents voted for Yushchenko by 75%

That is quite significant. Certainly in Kyiv more than 25% of the residents are either Russian or strongly Russian oriented. If this figure is correct, that means that a goodly number of Russians apparently voted for Yushchenko. Thanks for sharing. This is real news!

[GOP_1900AD]

Lousy way to spend Thanksgiving, eh? Now is one of those times when I definitely do not envy The President.

[b2stealth]

I can confirm that alot of russians in ukraine vote for Yushenko because everybody want to leave in modern open country like Poland did, nobody wants to go back to Russia and its asian type of rule..

[Yaelle]

Nyet!!!
