forget the protestors, and forget the government in my opinion. The police and the military forces are the only ones I feel sorry for because they're getting double penetrated from the stuffty government and the handicapped, insane loving protestors.
I was hoping to see them open fire at the protestors who got out of hand, but unfortunately they did not. They just huddled up and took it. Their governments stuffty defensive orders made the police pay the price by getting clubbed to death with wooden planks, steel clubs and having their eyes gouged out with metal spikes. Now a bunch of families and their children won't see their father come home because 10 years ago he thought he could trust his government enough to work for them.
Police are peace keepers not soldiers. The goal is to calm everyone down, arrest the ring leaders, and reduce collateral damage and injuries as much as possible. The use of deadly force is always a last resort. In the case of a riot(in the US) we would use a speaker system to ask the crowd to break up and go home, if they continue to march and start smashing stuff then we move onto using tear gas, pepper ball guns, steel canister rounds which is launched from a grenade launcher and breaks open sending steel bb's every where to try and break up people, pepper spray, bean bag rounds, baton, flash bangs, ect. Whatever it takes to make the rout from becoming a riot and whatever it takes to make the people stop breaking things despite the fact they are fighting to keep everything together.
If they had started shoot real bullets, chances are the crowd might swarm the police and beat them to death. You can only shoot so many bullets until you have to reload or they get too close. Plus the media will call you evil when you start shooting at civilians. I sympathize with the uniformed man too. Not so much with politicians since they carry out their bad intent through the police and soldiers and then in the end the cops and soldiers are remembered as the bad guys.
Now I may may not know what if true or not about Slavic/Eastern European history, but I do know that there are a lot of old people that hate the USSR.
Aren't military uniforms supposed to have some sort of identification on them as to what country they're from?
Before the occupation was approved off, a lot of those soldiers were dismissed as airsofters, protesters in unfirom ect. Kind of like what Germany did on the outbreak of WW2 when they sent troops into Poland disguised as Polish soldiers.
Apparently Russian military has surrounded many military bases in Ukraine and has told the defense force to stand down. 1 Ukraine marine base of a 100 men hasn't stood down yet and they are getting surrounded. Also Russian black fleet is near Odessa.
