A follow-up on "the Montenergo coup" - officials take it seriously (some even resign):

They even mention names of people (Eduard Shirokov and Vladimir Popov) who are alleged organizers of the coup.
And this, evidently, doesn't bode well for Ukraine:

Re: UKRAINE thread
Your "classic" old married couple would never do that -- they love the argument too much to actually end it.

Like Trump, Flynn has advocated forging closer ties with Russia. In interviews with The Washington Post, Flynn acknowledged being paid to give a speech and attend a lavish anniversary party for the Kremlin-controlled RT television network in Moscow last year, where he was seated next to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

What's happening in Kiev these days? I've found a few mentions of riots and clashes between the police and protesters, rubber bullets, tear gas, the whole nine yards, but media in English is surprisingly silent about that.
Re: UKRAINE thread
A quick look suggests the militiamen don't want peace with the separatists, which is not unexpected.
On the topic of Montenegro, it contains a significant chunk of Adriatic Coast and it's part of the old province of Illyria - both reasons to want it in NATO.

Re: UKRAINE thread
Chill out. As the events of the last 2.5 years have shown, the West will not move further than expressing indignation and protest. On a second thought it will - I forgot grave concern.
