(7,355 posts)...before it was just finger pointing at who broke the truce and who was going to escalate the violence with western governments telling the current government to back off, to let the protestors get the upper hand.
When you take hostages....that's whole new ball game. And with parts of western Ukraine in open revolt. I suspect the military will intervene with heavy backing from Moscow as soon as the lights go out in Sochi.
Yanukovych is smiling. He hardly can be blamed now if he uses brute force.
To put this in perspective, if a bunch of Teabaggers or Occupy protested in Washington DC and got rowdy and then began fighting with police...and later started taking over government buildings and then took hostage of DC police. The Military would be on its way.
