Moscow Around 50,000 people rallied in central Moscow Saturday in protest at Russia's intervention in Ukraine, a day before the Crimean peninsula votes on switching to Kremlin rule.
Waving both Ukrainian and Russian flags and shouting slogans heard during the anti-government protests in Kiev, the demonstrators urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to pull troops back from a Cold War-style confrontation.
Marchers carried placards reading "Putin, get out of Ukraine" and others comparing Russia's move on Crimea with the Nazi annexation of the Sudetenland as Europe rushed headlong into World War II.

Nazis ?
Reactionary Ukrainian imposters, funded by George Soros, who couldn’t even get the flags right!
Isn't that cute.
Okay let's look again.
And how about using that Kinetic stuff like was done in Libya? Yeah, I know there’s a lot more details here, but don’t all Democrats fight wars without boots on the ground anyhow? (think Clinton in Serbia)

Would not be surprising if Johnny Ketchup is among the crowd.
Maybe Russia will have a coup d’état as well like Ukraine had.
It can be dangerous to protest Putin in Russia. Putin and Putinistas become deranged with anger and Putin will put the police on them.
The demonstartions are a good thing. It shows that Russia is a democracy and people can express themselves. I do not think this group is a majority of Russian People. The vote will happen, Criema will join the Russian Federation, and there will be a peace. OR the Ukranians will fight—try to take back Criema and start a war—Unlikely but possible if they think the US and EU will send help to them. We will just go to the UN—pour some good Vodka down the drain and watch as the Ukrainians get put out on the Meat hooks. It will be like Georgia four years ago. Next week is critical.

Let’s not get carried away. While listening to Kudlow’s rebroadcast over WJR am 760. ABC radio news reported the crowd at 13,000 but they did report the Moscow protest once..
Time for another Obama vacation?
Probably would not be permitted here in the USSA.
It would be reported as “dozens” of protesters, just like the last time 800,000+ showed up.
Undoubtedly a demonstration fomented by the meddling US imperialist undercover agents. /s
>> Notice how the media can find protests against Putin but NO SIGNIFICANT opposition to Obama????
Excellent point!!!
Rush and Levin should take this up on Monday.

The Media is the Country’s greatest threat!
This report is for western consumption.
Where I live, nobody is getting emotional about things in Crimea (I am about 200 miles from Crimea). Everybody here locally knows someone in Ukraine, or has family there. The general consensus it that it’s terrible about what is happening, but nobody it to a point of marching through the streets.
Not saying that 50,000 people didn’t show up, but how many times did the press in the US Photoshop Obama rallies to show a far greater turnout than actually occurred?
Oh, wait. That photo is from a Tea Party rally in Washington DC......sorry. Nothing to see here folks. Move along.
What would you bet that this person is in the streets over there?

You're in Russia?
Here in the US I work with a Jewish Ukrainian lady. She left Ukraine a number of years ago thinking that she would never look back.
But with the events now unfolding in the Ukraine, she says that she is surprised to find herself now prideful that she's Ukrainian and that her friends and family still in Ukraine who also didn't care much about their country previously, now feel very nationalistic or patriotic about the Ukraine.
