Revolution in Kiev
The reality distortion field the protesters have formed is impressive.  They've completely overshadowed a few key points:-  The Yanukovych government offered a power-sharing agreement with the opposition, offering Yatsenyuk the PM position and Klitschko the deputy PM job, which the opposition rejected:  http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/ukraine-oppositions-rejects-vik...- The fascist element - one of the opposition leaders, Oleh Tyahnybok, leads a fascist party (Svoboda) and has openly spread anti-Semitic rhetoric, and aligned itself with extremist groups.  Fairly common knowledge to anyone in the know...  You can see the fascist and neo-nazi symbols on many of the protesters.  http://en.ria.ru/images/18519/41/185194148.jpg  The flags with 3 fingers are Svoboda's symbol, the red and black ones are UPA flags, which are the symbol of a group that collaborated with the Nazis, and are used by fascist groups in Ukraine.- The protesters have been the most violent force during the protests.  In what country do police stand by when Molotov cocktails and fireworks are fired at them?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h22oHs3eiLg- And finally, Yanukovych was not only democratically elected, but because of the split amongst the opposition factions, the PoR will likely win any election that is devoid of outside interference...  After the 'Orange Revolution' the opposition united with Yushchenko, now there's 3 large opposition groups (Fatherland, 'Punch', and Svoboda).  Considering half the country firmly supports the Party of Regions, the opposition are unlikely to win anything.Edit - more fascist imagery at the protests:  http://gwplondon.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/kiev-maidan1.jp... http://gwplondon.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/kiev-maidan2.jp...Edit2 - the Svoboda/Oleh Tyahnybok fascist/anti-Semitic connection:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTjezCzo-BQhttp://www.ibtimes.com/svoboda-rising-spectre-neo-nazism-ukr...These are the words of Oleh Tyahnybok:  "They did not fear, but took up their automatic rifles, going into the woods to fight Muscovites, Germans, Jewry and other filth which wanted to take away our Ukrainian nationhood. It’s time to give Ukraine to the Ukrainians. Like them, you are most feared by the Moscow-Jewish mafia which today runs Ukraine"http://gwplondon.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/oleg-tyanhybok....
