didn't know of that.
and true, I didn't see it from both ways, I only saw unarmed protesters shielding themselves with a plastic shield getting shot but who knows what happened outside that 2 minute clip.
sad for the people (both sides) nonetheless.

Hopefully Russia stays out of Ukraine and stay along the borders. Don't like this tense situation.

So the protest has now turned into a Russian military occupation? Talk about a FAIL!

Crazy, right?
When I see these dudes literally burning each other, it blows my mind because they are in the same damn boat. The police are protecting the people that are oppressing them.
I've always wondered how something like this would play out in the U.S. What happens when your family is on the opposite side? Do you stand by them or take them down.

They would pull a Rome. Take soldiers a from different regions and suppress the rebellions.
In America it would have to be the national guard aka States aka Governors x State legislatures for anything real to happen.

[h1]After already sending thousands of troops to Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin gets permission from Russian parliament[/h1][h2]Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk says his country has been 'invaded' by Russia and puts troops on high alert. Putin says 'extraordinary' circumstances allow Russia to put troops on the ground in Ukraine to protect ethnic Russians there.[/h2]Comments (19)[h3]By Deborah Hastings / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS[/h3][h5]Published: Saturday, March 1, 2014, 8:53 AM[/h5][h5]Updated: Saturday, March 1, 2014, 11:18 AM[/h5]

President Vladimir Putin got permission from Russia's parliament Saturday to use military force in Ukraine, a day after he sent thousands of troops into the strategic Ukrainian region of Crimea.
“In connection with the extraordinary situation in Ukraine, the threat to the lives of citizens of the Russian Federation, our compatriots, and the personnel of the armed forces of the Russian Federation on Ukrainian territory (in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea) ... I submit a proposal on using the armed forces of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine until the normalization of the socio-political situation in the that country,” Putin told the parliament’s upper house in a session broadcast live on state-run television.
Ukrainian authorities had a vastly different version of events – their country has been invaded and is being occupied by thousands of Russian troops who have stormed a parliament building in Crimea and seized control of two area airports.

Meanwhile, dramatic video surfaced showing the exact moment when armed men took over the Crimea government building Friday. Heavily armed and masked soldiers are seen storming the entrance gates with smoke billowing from an unseen source.
Saturday's events were the latest escalation in the troubled country following the ouster of Ukraine’s pro-Russian president last week by a protest movement aimed at turning Ukraine toward the European Union and away from Russia.

Ukraine has accused Russia of a “military invasion and occupation” — a claim that brought an alarming new dimension to the crisis, and raised fears that Moscow is moving to intervene on the strategic peninsula where Russia’s Black Sea fleet is based. Russain troop estimates ranged from 6,000 to 28,000.
Ukraine’s population is divided in loyalties between Russia and Europe, with much of western Ukraine advocating closer ties with the European Union while eastern and southern regions look to Russia for support. Crimea is mainly Russian-speaking. Crimean’s prime minister, Sergei Aksyonov, declared that the armed forces, the police, the national security service and border guards in the region will answer only to his orders.

Ukraine’s Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk opened a cabinet meeting in the capital, Kiev, by calling on Russia not to provoke discord in Crimea, a peninsula on the Black Sea.
“We call on the government and authorities of Russia to recall their forces, and to return them to their stations,” Yatsenyuk was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency. “Russian partners, stop provoking civil and military resistance in Ukraine.”

Crimea only became part of Ukraine in 1954 when Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev transferred jurisdiction from Russia, a move that was a mere formality when both Ukraine and Russia were part of the Soviet Union.
The Soviet breakup in 1991 meant Crimea landed in an independent Ukraine.
President Barack Obama warned Moscow on Friday “there will be costs” if it intervenes militarily. Russia has taken a confrontational stance toward its southern neighbor after pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych fled the country.

Yanukovych was voted out of office by parliament after weeks of protests ended in violence that left over 80 people dead.
Demonstrators sought his resignation after he backed out of signing an agreement to bring Ukraine closer to the European Union instead of Russia.

Yanukovych took refuge in Russia and still says he’s president. Aksyonov, the head of the main pro-Russia party on the peninsula, appealed to Putin “for assistance in guaranteeing peace and calmness on the territory of the autonomous republic of Crimea.”
RELATED: EX-PRESIDENT’S CHIEF OF STAFF SHOT, WOUNDED BY UKRAINIAN PROTESTORS
Aksyonov was voted in by the Crimean parliament on Thursday after pro-Russia gunmen seized the building and as tensions soared over Crimea’s resistance to the new authorities in Kiev, who took office this week. Obama called on Russia to respect the independence and territory of Ukraine and not try to take advantage of its neighbor, which is undergoing political upheaval. He said such action by Russia would represent a “profound interference” in matters he said must be decided by the Ukrainian people.
“The United States will stand with the international community in affirming that there will be costs for any military intervention in Ukraine,” he said. He did not say what those costs might be. Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt wrote on Twitter that it was “obvious that there is Russian military intervention in Ukraine. Likely immediate aim is to set up puppet pro-Russian semi-state in Crimea.”
At the United Nations, the Ukrainian ambassador, Yuriy Sergeyev, said Friday that Russian transport aircraft and 11 attack helicopters had arrived in Crimea illegally, and that Russian troops had taken control of two airports in Crimea.

He described the gunmen posted outside the two airports as Russian armed forces as well as “unspecified” units. Russia has kept silent on claims of military intervention and has said any troop movements are within agreed rules, even as it maintained its hard-line stance on protecting ethnic Russians in Crimea. Meanwhile, flights remained halted from Simferopol’s airport.
Dozens of armed men in military uniforms without markings patrolled the area. They didn’t stop or search people leaving or entering the airport, and refused to talk to journalists.

Putin called Obama's bluff.
If Western Europe wasn't heavily dependent on Russia's natural gas, they could have shut down the pipeline and hit them where it hurt.

He called him out and warned him not to do so saying there'd be repercussions, and he did so.

lol do you? Putin refers to Obama as a nig and does whatever he wants. He even intimidated Obama to the point that Obama wouldn't go to the Olympics.. Do you think it is because he didn't want to....nope.....it was because Obama was worried about being assassinated if he went there.
"President Obama and his fellow Democrats are either idiots or deliberately trying to destroy their own economy." ---Vladamir Putin
He also mocked Obama with the banana photo at the Olympics.
He harbored Snowden with no consequences from the spineless Obama too.
Putin does whatever he wants because he knows Obama won't do ****.
There are more instances than this too.....

No but if he wasn't such a pansy Putin wouldn't have made the move in the first place because he wouldn't know what our reaction would be....since he knows for sure Obama will do nothing there is no risk to his actions.So Obama's should send troops to their death just to engage in a dong measuring contest with a scumbag like Putin
