A repeat of Tianamen Square?

Ukraine: Deadly clashes around parliament in Kiev

Violent clashes have erupted during anti-government protests in Ukraine’s capital, Kiev, with at least nine people, including two policemen, dead.

In the worst violence in weeks, police used rubber bullets and stun grenades as thousands of protesters marching on parliament.

A deadline set by the security forces for the violence to end has passed with no immediate sign of police action.

The clashes came as MPs were due to debate changes to the constitution.

The proposals would curb the powers of President Viktor Yanukovych, but the opposition say they were blocked from submitting their draft, meaning no debate could take place.

Ukraine’s government had apparently been attempting to hook up more closely to Russia and Vladimir Putin.  That seemingly began to unsettle the proletariat.

Ukraine’s unrest began in November, when Mr Yanukovych rejected a deal with the EU in favour of closer ties with Russia.

The mood had calmed in recent days, but protest camps remain on the streets and the opposition – which insists the president must resign – had warned the government it risked inflaming tensions if it failed to act.

You can be guaranteed that Russian troops are in Kiev even at this very moment.  And there are explosions occurring in Kiev presently.

In the meantime, America media is silent on this.  John Kerry is silent on this.  Kerry believes that carbon is the largest threat to the world.  And Obama is — as per normal — doing two things: 1) He is monitoring, and 2) He is concerned.

Concurrently, Venezuela is falling apart by the numbers.  It is one of the major sources for our imported oil, I should offer, just behind Mexico.  Disburbance in the oil supply, anyone?

And America’s so-called “leaders” are silent and vacuous.

Putin invaded Georgia.  Will he decide to invade Ukraine?

UPDATE:

Mr Obama has weighed in.  He “condemns.”  He also “monitors.”  He is, of course, “concerned.”
