RT (Russia Today) is a global news network broadcasting from Moscow and Washington studios. RT is the first news channel to break the 1 billion YouTube views benchmark.

No newspeople are talking over or giving their opinions on this video. See some interesting comments from people here, there and elsewhere in the comment section below the video.

Some people don't like RT, but this could be history in action recorded. Or not, as some of the videos with RT commentors say.

Before I got to this video, I watched a half dozen videos with many differing views presented of the players, the history, reasons, good and bad, and the purpose of the protests.

I may post them in the thread just to complete the thread. There may be no interest in them. Otherwise, I leave you with this.

3. I did catch some of it yesterday....

... or last night (can't remember which.) Looks like a good ole Russian Revolution to me. I hope the "west" siders come out on top (as apposed to the east Ukrainians, who lean towards Russia.) Do you think this will split Ukraine?

4. Will Russian military be coming, or are they already there? Think it will get there?

I am fairly well certain the gov thinks they can be crushed...
