Breaking News: Russia Seizes Power in Crimea

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?

    because of the usual topics

    You can politely ask people to discuss the tech related issues, even in the summary. So who's github isn't getting commits anymore because they used to live at ground zero of the riots or who's seeing interesting new tech in the battles or who's seeing new techniques of astroturfing and censorship, perhaps even here?

    If the vast majority of the comment authors insist on talking politics, if a very small minority don't like that, there's not much they can do about it other than try to convince the vast majority not to like what they like. Complaints to and about the editors will not have any effect on the beliefs and desires of the comment authors.
