Russia combats the "CIA Undercover Van" problem.

[vagel7]

I'm like 30% sure they were recently infiltrated by Russian spec ops who are now preparing to attack Rada as we speak...

That's what the democratic Ukrainian media actually reported once.

(for those who doesn't know Ukrainian, in that video Ukrainian Interior Minister Avakov calls the current Maidan camp "an FSB project")

What is FSB?

Pretty much the modern name for KGB.

[Dutchling]

I'm starting to wonder on whose side the Ukraine is

Lol

[MarcAFK]

Ahhh Poland balls, frequently hilarious, if not rampantly racist at times.
I just read a story yesterday that Russia was halting use of ukrainian pipelines for supplying western countriesso it seems that the idea is mutual, Russia plans on using alternative means for supplying Latvia, Czechoslovakia, and a handful of other countries.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

our PM never said a word about cutting natural gas transit. He said that we are considering to block transit of some Russian goods through Ukraine. That may or may not include natural gas pipelines

Isn't it cute?

My prediction RE:Scottish independence referendum with about 5 weeks to go based on recent polling analysis and campaign performance - we will most certainly lose unless a miracle happens. Most likely we are going to lose because the miracle is nowhere in sight; I have no idea what that could be to shift the polls in our favour. A few weeks ago things were still possible - we had 2 months to go, we had a decent base in the polls, we had some nice events coming up that could act as springboards to give us just enough momentum to narrowly take it. We failed completely.

So yes, barring the second coming of Christ as some kind of Nationalist political prodigy we are going to lose. Thereafter the SNP government will most likely go into serious discussion with the other parties to deliver more powers for Scotland (a grim consolation prize if there ever was one), with the SNP demanding the most, Labour demanding the least and the Conservatives demanding somewhere in between. Some fatuous drivel about "devo-max" will be thrown around and people will talk about a Federal Britain, but it won't come to anything meaningful (there is no political drive behind it anymore) and we'll get more Tory governments with different coloured ties for decades.

Whilst I will be saddened by the loss of your dream if that happens, Owlbread, I hope that is what happens.

Of course you do, you don't need to tell me that.

I was waiting until about now to judge whether I should make an event-centric Scottish independence referendum thread in the run up to the referendum - however this next period is going to be pretty depressing (I can smell it in the air) while the Unionist media bias goes into overdrive and MI5 crank up the dirty tricks. It's already started. But yes, it's much too depressing for me now. If someone else interested enough in the topic wishes to create the thread, by all means please do.

[TD1]

Well, now I feel bad for saying that. I wasn't trying to gloat, I am sincerely sorry.

I can only imagine how I would feel if we were voted into Eire.

Also, either way, it may still be bad for me.

[Guardian G.I.]

According to RIA Novosti citing Strelkov, Donetsk is completely surrounded by the Ukrainian army.

[MarcAFK]

I'm not surprised as the rebels were losing for the last few weeks, The situation in Kiev is worrying however.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Nothing to worry about. Residents of Kiev clearing the center of city from guys who pretend to be protesters. Why  I think it is pretending? Because they have neither popular support, nor support of any notable political group

[LordSlowpoke]

* LordSlowpoke rolls eyes

neither did the first maidan at first...

if you got a dictator to bail house by protesting it's kind of hypocritical to turn around and say "well you're not legitimate protesters go away"

[Ukrainian Ranger]

So, you think now any group can settle in the center of a city just because they call they call themselves protesters? Really?

And real maydan had both political and popular support from day one
