Opposition doesn't have any kind of weapon or warriors at all! People are not with opposition, and opposition leaders lost their voice now, noone listens to them. People are too angry.
- vetinari 13y agoAre you sure? From yesterday's news: According to [Ukrainian Security Service head] Yakimenko, “over the last day more than 1,500 firearms and 100,000 rounds of ammunition have come into the hands of criminals.” ... Meanwhile in Ivano-Frankovsk, rioters have seized 268 pistols, 2 rifles, 3 light machine guns, 92 grenades and 15,000 ammunition rounds, the deputy head of the Security Service, Vladimir Porodko, has said, adding that the police are searching for the stolen arms.
- adamnemecek 13y agoAre you really quoting the a source that's obviously biased?
- emocakes 13y agono, of course not, I mean, the government is just saying that the weapons have been stolen, so that when they 'massacre' the peaceful protestors, they can point the finger and say, 'but it wasn't us, weapons were stolen'. Seriously.... you watch too much CSI.
- k_bx 13y agoSorry for being not clear enough. I'm not saying protestors don't have weapon. I'm just saying that we shouldn't call them "opposition". Opposition are bunch of politicians that want to do everything peaceful and were never radical. Protestors are separate from opposition.
- rurban 13y agoSure. Ukrainian Security Service hired criminals and led criminals out of jail, gave them weapons and so they went shooting at the protesters. World news (i.e. US, UK and some other state sponsored news services) are still behind Yanukovich, so I wouldn't trust how they are spinning the events.
- antientropic 13y agoUh, what? As far as I can tell, the vast majority of commentary in the Western press is pretty anti-Yanukovich (e.g. the NYTimes editorial today: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/20/opinion/ukraines-deadly-turn.html http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/20/opinion/ukraines-deadly-tu...).
