Why? It's just a map, and also the first Google Image result for "Khazaria".

I'm more worried about those Jews/Zionism = Nazis/Nazism pictures.

Some protesters had seized the ministry of energy, but have since retreated. There are rumors that the Right Sector protestors have taken some policemen hostage. One policeman was found dead. I still haven't read anything definitive about whether the dead protesters were shot with rubber or real bullets. Still the situation looks like it might not yet escalate despite the failed negotiations.

It's probably on the same line so you can worry about it equally.

There's nothing wrong with that map per se, it's just a rough map of historical territories. Weird though that they would use it, since Khazaria on that map includes eastern Ukraine. Maybe it's a ZOG kind of thing.

I assume they mean "Dem Jew are taking our land! Look! They did it before, they'll do it again!"

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

That's what I was trying to say. Not that a historical map is evil or something. They are probably calling the protesters Jews or Jewish puppets.

Not teams but fans, to be more precise - Ultras. Don't know why maker of the map decided to include that info

Yes, it's fans, not teams - I'm not sure about situation on Ukraine regarding that, but in Poland those are pretty well-organized, well-equipped (as in, weaponry) groups of people who are greatly anti-government. But in this situation, it might be that the mapmaker decided that this organization skills could come in handy, so it is important to include those. Or maybe he is an Ultras himself, so it is important to him?

Maybe they are all just fans of Crusader Kings?

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

Let's hope so, that could solve a lot of trouble with a strategical marriage or two.  ;D

It's probably that. In terms of revolutionary potential, you want to have some armed Ultras on your side. Remember that Turkish football club that stole that power shovel?

Yeah, in Eastern Europe the ultras are more like paramilitaries than sports clubs' fans.
