SoylentNews is people

Calling it an invasion seems off, as their forces were already there. The Guardian has live updates at this page.

Are any Soylentils in or from the region? Do you have any insights to share?

    Seems to be a post that is all about half-truths. The author's entire premise is to say that everybody in the revolution are nazis. For example, "Civilian people are being shot dead, stabbed tortured and burned for not being in favor of Nazis." and a link to a video clip about some rogue assholes shooting people.

    Also, "General prosecutor is Nazi" - Oleh Makhnitsky, the general prosecutor is a member of the nationalist Svoboda party, but being a nationalist does not make someone a nazi.

    It sure looks like the nazi thing has been widely overblown - the Svoboda party is only 10% of the population and while I am sure they have some extremists - as a convenient talking point out of Moscow. This wapo article [washingtonpost.com] does a better job of explaining what's going on than any dubiously cited post screaming "nazi, nazi, nazi!"

    Man, the only way to be in touch with reality is to do your own research. No single article from Western (or Eastern, for that matter) paid and bought media can provide you with truthful view of such complex issue.

    It is called propaganda. If you don't do your own research you become a slave to it.
