If you think the US is a communist government then I don't know what to tell you.
Currently it's socialist, but it's run by a cabal of communists and they're making their way to their ideal pretty quickly.

Protest spreads to the Ukrainian Olympic team.
quote:
Ukrainian Olympians: "We, members of the National Olympic team of Ukraine: Matsotska Bohdana and Matsotskiy Oleh are deeply indignant at recent actions of President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych. Instead of negotiations to resolve the conflict at Maidan ( we had a hope for while leaving to the Olympic Games in Sochi) he sank the latest hopes of Ukrainians in blood, thus breaking with the eternal principle of the Olympic Games - the Peace during the Olympics.
In solidarity with the fighters on Maidan barricades and protests against the bandit - the president and his grovelling government, we refuse further performance at the Olympic Games in Sochi 2014.
An imperishable memory of fallen heroes of Ukraine for freedom!
Glory to Ukraine and its Heroes!"

More impressions from the day, from Kyiv:
A day of amazing impressions and pride in my fellow Ukrainians. After that horrible night ... Kyivites simply flooded the Maidan with food, tires (some brought by Acuras and Lexus), women in expensive fur coats passing bricks up the assembly line to the barricades, businesmen who open their stores and cafes on the main street Khreschatyk all night to maidan folks, 19 yr old students, chemistry majors making the most popular cocktails, and thousands of amazing people ready to die to defend their dignity. It brought tears to my eyes to see a man without legs on his cart determinedly breaking up the cobblestones. Thank you my dear Ukrainians for these unbelievable emotions!!

50-year-old Valery Brezdenyuk from Zhmerynka (Vinnytsa oblast) died last night on Maidan [Maidan Nezalezhnosti] after being shot in the back. His wife learned of his death from a stranger’s phone call and has gone to Kyiv to bring her husband’s body home.
Valery Brezdenyuk had also recently become active in the Udar party, however was best known for his unique artwork. He took first place in the local talent competition for his paintings on water, and was in the finals for the nationwide “Ukraine has talent” competition. A local newspaper writes that he needed only clear water and paint to create a magical world.

Amazing eyewitness accounts of events of February 18.
"A man in his 60's, whose face is bloodied and who is being treated by medics, is yelling: faster, the children are dying over there, I’d rather it be me.
Women, who are carrying wood, paving blocks, clothing in their hands, who hollowed the paving blocks by themselves, to help men who are on the front line.
A granny who was giving 50 hryvnas [around $6] to me and crying that there’s nothing more she can help with. Everybody was sending her home, but she wouldn’t listen. They left her to gather paving blocks.
But most of all Tolia, who fell out of the 5th floor, could hardly walk to the medics, but was dragging his wounded friend on himself.
This is war. Everybody keeps repeating this. But what kind of war is that? They have weapons, they shoot, and we are empty-handed.
But there is a postive thing as well, people become very kind."

Jennifer Carroll, Americal anthropologist living in Kyiv, describes what happened on the evening of February 19. Many stunning photos and stories.
"Things that happened on Maidan this evening
–city hall is overwhelmed with people (including several clergymen) who are bringing food and medical supplies.
–the middle-aged woman who collected our food donations from us gave us a large package filled with packets of black pepper and allspice. She said(barked really) “Devushka! When you go around this way, you will see a group of men preparing molotov cocktails. You must take this to them.”
–the same woman then tried to give one of the self defense volunteers (a man in full flack jacket and helmet, weapons and body armor) one of the mandarins we had brought. He had a sandwich in one hand and a soda in the other. “you need vitamin C!” she said. He said “naw, both my hands are full, I don’t want it.” The woman huffed at him in offense and grabbed the collar of his sweatshirt. he was in a hoodie and the hood was up. She stuffed an orange violently into his hood until it sat securely in his collar. “You must eat it! You need your health!” The self defense volunteer laughed and pulled away like he was a child being tickled.
–People from all over Kyiv in all kinds of cars (Kia, Jeep, Lexus, Daiwoo) are driving up to the barricades to deliver piles and piles of tires to add to the fire. Mostly women are carrying the tires towards the front.
–Cobble stones are being ripped up all across Independence square and broken into smaller pieces so that they can be thrown. Women in heels and fur coats can be seen digging up the stones. Even a man i a wheel chair with no legs was there breaking stones with an ax."

When the Olympics are over I think this is really going to get even worse.
Posted on 2/20/14 at 10:43 am to Cobrasize
This is going to explode after the Olympics is over with, and then nothing will stop Russia from getting significantly involved since they won't have to save face anymore for the games.

Is this why we should fight tooth and nail to keep our rights afforded to us under the 2nd amendment?

European Union foreign ministers have agreed to impose sanctions on Ukrainian officials "responsible for violence and excessive force".
Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt tweeted that asset freezes and travel bans would be adopted "as a matter of urgency".
At least 21 anti-government protesters died in clashes in Kiev on Thursday.
Officials said that one policeman had also died and that 67 police had been captured by protesters.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said the "prime responsibility" to get talks between the two sides under way lay with President Viktor Yanukovych.
Speaking after an emergency meeting of EU foreign minsters in Brussels, she said they had also agreed to "suspend export licences for equipment for internal repression".

Is our girl still streaming (one that was reporting in English)?
It appears that many of the main feeds from earlier in the thread are dead now.
