Yep. Love ZH.

That pretty much sums up the Syrian situation as well. Pipelines.

Soros is behind the faux rebels.

They are trying to pull out the Georgian scenario to get some legitimacy for coming invasion.

I was reading through the comments waiting to see how long before Georgia was brought up. Ironically that was during the last olympics.

I would suspect that all over Eastern Europe generals are making surprise inspections to check readiness just out of instinct.

Putin want’s to reoccupy the former Soviet footprint, and China eye’s Taiwan. Meanwhile in the White Hut, it’s an early tee time, and another meaningless “line in the sand” soundbite.

"What’s the Muslim population like in Ukrain?"

Mostly dead.

[1rudeboy]

Clearly, there must be some mastermind pulling the strings. Why else wouldn’t the peace-loving Ukrainians welcome the loving embrace of Mother Russia?

[Revolting cat!]

Hurray, the Soros Fan Club is here!

[jjsheridan5]

Is anyone else watching espreso.tv? Does anyone know what is going on right now? All I have figured out so far is that nobody is speaking English.

[Navy Patriot]

The number one reason the EU wants Ukraine.

[dfwgator]

They misspelled “Lwów”.

Came across a twitter feed from Lviv. Poster on another forum translated it. I have a live feed running in the background of their Parliament. I only understand a few words, but they've had two fist fights break out so far.

Getting on after 8PM there... GMT +2.

Yelp for me little doggie...

[no-to-illegals]

Only two fist fights? Well at least Parliament isn’t shooting at each other yet. A silver lining *if* there is one, I guess?

Stalin removed all the Tatars from the Crimean penisula but today many have returned and those Muslims cause trouble.

[Dead Corpse]

Yeah, there is that.

Here’s a page with multiple feeds. Some are kind of intermittent as the government there shuts things down from time to time.
