Our bureaucracy is expanding and crony capitalism is on the march.

Dems have found a strong combination:

Crony capitalists to provide the $$

Entitlement army to provide the votes

So are the protesters “good guys” or “bad guys”?

Just kidding. Very interesting article, and seems informative as it seems to be giving views from both sides. I’m sure there is a 3rd, 4th and 5th side as well.

I started watching a four-part history of Ukraine on youtube. Very interesting to learn how the various regions of Ukraine got their identity that they in part retain today.

Puts the lie to the noble freedom loving independent rebels.

Private gun ownership in Ukraine: 6.6 guns per 100 people.

Private gun ownership in USA: 101 guns per 100 people.

When the SHTF in the USA, the government is going to have a very tough time controlling the situation.

They think drones, tanks, laser, electromagnetic & heat weapons will beat the rebels.

But nothing beats boots on the ground if you want to control territory. And drones ain’t got no feets.

We couldn't subdue Vietnam, Iraq, Somalia or Afghanistan with a much better and bigger (in many ways) military than we have now. How do they propose to subdue 300+ millions in their own land?

Another good non-one-sided coverage. Parallels to US are far-fetched but a situation in Ukraine is covered correctly.

"How do they propose to subdue 300+ millions in their own land? "

They'll likely try one day anyway.

The method to stop them is quite simple:

1. Identify the favored classes of the regime, those you know expect and demand protection.

2. Target those classes.

3. Regime is forced to disperse protective forces outside their own "protective envelope".

4. Target those forces outside the protective envelope.

A balanced look at the situation...not the usual MSNBC/CNN/FOX liberal spin that a few on here have adopted

Although this writer did not delve into the Soros connection behind the riots, which is a very important aspect in this whole mess

Non-one-sided coverage?!? Puhlease. This is the exact copy of the garbage played on Russian TV but with English translation.

No examination of the opposite side, none whatsoever, besides the hooker insinuation, the nazi label and “common knowledge” that protesters are being paid (20 people dead now, mind you)

Cheap Russian propoganda

I was watching See BS news tonight.
The people were breaking up the side walks for ammunition. (Stones)
I thought to myself, “that would never happen here.”

By fighting an unrestricted war which will make the Civil War a mere skirmish.

It is clearly not a pro-Russian coverage, but to make things clear there were pretty enough from the other side to say rebels are misrepresented.

As for 20 people dead, I’m yet to see a government using lethal force against rioters, despite the fact that all the footage is provided by the protestors.

All I can see are uniformed, probably unarmed dummies, getting burned and shot by ‘peaceful’ protestors and doing their best not to make excuse for Obama to go another Lybia on their country.
