This is a dangerous situation...and although the Ukrainian Parliament has now impeached the President there (we should take note IMHO), the Russians are still very involved and we in the U.S. have a weak international face on.

FYI...ongoing.

Now the question is how all this ends.

need one here imho

[smokingfrog]

Very good! Thanks for the synopsis.

[GeronL]

Yes we do. A few million armed Americans heading into DC from the south, north and west would send a nice shock down their backs as they try to get out of town.

Now the question is how all this ends.

Look how our Revolution ended up. Obama is president and our Liberty is at risk everytime he opens his mouth or every time congress meets. The NSA spies on everyone all the time and the IRS tracks down dissidents.

Thank you so much for this informative essay-post, dear Jeff!

Some cynics think the Ukraine uprising was fomented by agents provocateur from the west. I don't buy that. I still have enough faith in human beings to believe that they can spontaneously rise up to protect or seize their liberty. I pray it will not be necessary here, but I also pray that if it is, we will be up to the task.

"You have a weak American President, whose word is doubted, whose will on the international stage is questioned, and who is distracted domestically by his own many scandals and issues."

Besides, no one really pays attention to sub human mongrels.

We the People can do this.

"I still have enough faith in human beings to believe that they can spontaneously rise up to protect or seize their liberty."

Stories of the savagery and depravity of what the Soviet Union thugs did to the citizens of Ukraine are still being told to the people. They had Soviet rule once, and they don't want any more of it. Ever. And it's worth fighting and dying to remain free.

Great work, as always, JeffHead. Thank you.

“You have a weak American President, whose word is doubted, whose will on the international stage is questioned, and who is distracted domestically by his own many scandals and issues.”

Problem is, half of America doesn’t know this, and think he is cool and sexy.

I've never believed the collapse of the USSR was a permanent one. Rather I think it is simply a brief window allowed by Divine intervention for the sake of The Gospel. Within a decade or two I look for Russia to make a move to reestablish a new empire including either by agreement or force the EU. In Asia I look for China to move on Japan, Taiwan, and all nations in the region.

No coup d’etat in Kyiv, says Sikorski

Feb. 22, 4:50 p.m. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said in his Twitter that there is no coup d’etat in Kyiv, and backed most of the decisions taken by Ukraine’s parliament. “No coup in Kiev. Government buildings got abandoned. Speaker of Rada elected legally. President Viktor Yanukovych has 24h to sign 2004 Constiturtion. into law.”

Thank you Jeff for such an excellent summary of the events in the Ukraine.

Bears repeating:

"This event is a clear example of what a dedicated, committed, populace can accomplish when they feel their rights and their constitutional constraints are being violated (perhaps America should remember this...and its own history)."

At least he’s 1/3 lazy as well. That gives us time.
