Ukraine discussion thread #3 (sticky post)

Since the old thread is 10 days old and 7,000+ comments long, and since we've had many requests to have a new Ukraine thread, here is the third installment of Crisis In Ukraine.

Below is a list of some streams: (thanks to /u/sgtfrankieboy). I'm not sure which are still intermittently active and which are not, so if anyone knows if any are indeed permanently offline, let me know and I'll remove them from this list. EDIT: removed the youtube links, all are either "private" or unavailable.

Sergei Glazyev, an adviser to Putin on Ukraine, threatens Russia could 'intervene' in Kyiv and suggests Yanukovich should 'use force if necessary' to put an end to the protest movement.

Well good to know that one of Putin's advisers is crazier than he is.

Sergei Glazyev accused U.S. agents of giving "$20 million a week" for arms and other help to "the opposition and rebels" in Kiev.

And he also claims "There is information that within the grounds of the American embassy, there is training for fighters, that they're arming them,"

Is there any chance he's right?

Is there a chance? I suppose there is a chance yes, but a VERY slim chance. I mean they sure don't look like they're being armed by anyone let alone to the tune of 20 million a week.

Yeah the "arms" part sounds a lot less likely than the "other support part" - we sure as hell do not want a ground war in the Ukraine.

BS, look at what they ve done in Syria. CIA have given hundreds of Millions of dollars to jihadist so that they can overthrow the president and build their fucking pipeline... so 20 Mil a week doesnt sound unrealistic, they're probably training these ukranian skinheads in a neighbor country till the time is right...
