    http://www.newrepublic.com/article/116655/kiev-ukraine-protests-are-vladimir-putins-worst-nightmare**THE BROKEN WINDOW THEORY, UPSIDE DOWN**

    –“If it can happen in Kiev, in other words, it can happen in Moscow.

    […] Putin sees dissent as a slippery slope. He knows the cold has never stopped a single Russian revolutionary. One day people are camping out in a snowy fountain in Moscow, the next they’ve set up camp and put up barricades in the center of town, bringing traffic to a halt, sowing chaos, and toppling the government. It is the authoritarian take on the broken windows theory, turned upside-down.”–

    My purpose in promoting the problem here in Ukraine is to advocate AGAINT endemic corruption. A free and independent Ukraine that is free of corruption, or one that is divided, is not material to me. That is a political question. The moral question is simple: the people are exploited.

    I DON”T think the collapse of the soviet union was a good thing. I do think that the collapse of world communism was a good thing. I wold love to see the collapse of world social democratic democracy next. And participate in that if I can.

    UKRAINE UPDATE: ** WE WAITED TOO LONG **

    It’s spun out of control now. They’re just using AK47’s on the protesters. Parliament has left. They are shutting down the city.

    Security has closed our offices. They devs will come to the apartment to work.

    The violence is spreading around the country.

    Lviv voted to secede last night. Crimea stated their threat to secede today.

    We need to get out of here.

    (The airport unfortunately, is on the other side of the city.)

    UKRAINE UPDATE : FROM PROTEST TO REBELLION, FROM REBELLION TO WAR

    Serhiy Burlakov, a representative of the Interior Ministry, said that also close to 300 piece of arms were stolen from police departments in Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, Rivne and Ternopil regions that were also taken over.

    In a separate statement, the SBU said protesters since yesterday have seized more than 1,500 guns and 100,000 rounds of ammunition, which they have used β€œto commit murders and take hostages,” the service said in a statement…”–

    (UKRAINE UPDATE: I can’t understand what they’re saying on the video streams very well but I can tell you that it’s getting worse here rather than better. And the people I’m with who speak Russian and Ukrainian don’t sound or look very happy.)
