Ukraine Unrest

Not true. Its an argument over the best way to bleed a radiator.

I bet someone just argued that all bears in Russia are gay, and then it all kicked off

Reminds me of the joke about a bear chasing a rabbit through the forest. A genie appears and grants each a wish. The bear wants all the other bears in the forest to be female. The rabbit wants the bear to be gay.

In ex-Soviet republics hunting rifles are usually smooth bore, so they can't be too accurate because there is no rifling on them. In USA it's different - people can get effectively sniper/assault rifle with scope for hunting.

The difference is big - attacker with proper guns with rifling can engage 300-500 meters away, and people with smoothbore maybe got 100-200 meters effective range.

Granted, I don't think it will take long for the protestors to get similar firearms - some arsenals have already been raided, if situation escalates then it will be proper war zone but even now Ukrainian President (who was a criminal convicted for rape in the past!!!) got nowhere to go now that there are >100 dead, such orders could have come up only from high level and he'll carry responsibility for it until he is dead.

Guns have wheels! (apart from machine guns )

Well it looks like el presidente is seeing sense and the original constitutional reforms are back on the table.

BBC News - Ukrainian President Yanukovych agrees early election

Lets hope that puts and end to the killing at least.

Actually I have a couple of friends from the Ukraine including my best mates wife whose family still live in Kiev. So I do care, and you can **** off and shove your media led conspiracy theories back up your arse where they came from. Dickhead.

What makes you think that he (or the rest of us) would not care about the suffering of others?
Do you care about the plight of people other than your own fellow nationals?

Apparently they also have policemen from western Ukraine turning up to protect the protesters from their colleagues now, which just goes to show how deep the divisions run.

No doubt this isn't true as I read it on the BBC though, eh mos?
