[QUOTE=StupidUsername67;43638900]it should be close to sunrise there soon right?[/QUOTE] Sunrise is at 7:45 according to [url]http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=367[/url] [editline]22nd January 2014[/editline] also stream is down [editline]22nd January 2014[/editline] nvm its back now.
uh oh, the fires starting to spread into the neighboring buildings. [editline]22nd January 2014[/editline] oh and they've build makeshift slingshots. pretty cool actually
Does anybody know who's side the tanks will be on when they arrive? I'm not sure the government is in full control of the army, they've had to forcibly retire the Chief of Defense before and he's still agitating for some level of coup.

There's no real reason for them to join the protesters right now.

The blockers were unarmed protesters, and if the military was serious about deploying they would have used force there - at least less-lethal force. Apparently troops from Lviv even thanked protesters for blocking them. At the very least they are not wholeheartedly down with deploying against the protesters.

Is that type of thing supposed to be good at snapping links in tank treads or...? [editline]22nd January 2014[/editline] Or I imagine it forces the vehicles to slow down, preventing them from wanting to approach the roadblock in the first place?
That's a picture from Mexico and he's a vigilante. I think that's a drug checkpoint, not a tank trap, so it would be the latter.
In the EuroMaiden livestream you can hear gunshots and the sound of a tank motors humming slowly closer. The Tigers are about to break free it seems :suicide:

The Western image of Eastern Europe already is people firing guns off in the air and tanks just going for drives down city blocks. This will probably painted as a typical day or something dumb.
Just had a look at the Euromaiden stream (after not seeing it since ~8 hours ago). Everything seems much quieter than it was earlier, is it starting to die down or is everyone just catching up on sleep?

Far better sound. Also, I am going to say that when it's 8:00 or 8:30 in Kiev, we are going to see an attempt to break through. [editline]23rd January 2014[/editline] I just heard a tank on the livestream getting set up, and they are lining up... Shit is about to get bad fast.
Where? I can't see them. Which stream are you watching?
[QUOTE=MrBob1337;43639344]Where? I can't see them. Which stream are you watching?[/QUOTE] If you look through the smoke you could see the cops start lining up in back with riot gear, and hear either a water pump or tank reving its engine off and on. Also watching the RT Stream.
the sounds of hammers and metal as well as wood on the RT Stream remind me of RTS's and Civ 5 when i click on things. This is pretty scary though right now. [b]Edit:[/b] chanting now from the police? [b]Edit2:[/b] Plane flew over? Scaring the fuck out of me was waiting for a "boom"
How cold is it there? It's starting to snow and everyone is in big jackets.
[QUOTE=IrishBandit;43639463]How cold is it there? It's starting to snow and everyone is in big jackets.[/QUOTE] 13F, Which is warmer then here in Yonkers, NY right now. All depends on the wind which doesn't look like much [b]Edit:[/b] More people carrying tyres in
Theyre breaking through the fire on the right side
A red flame is all that separates bloodshed right now.
Whats with all the people wearing white and pink helmets?
Press?
For everyone the RT Stream is HiDef, If you maxmize it you can actually see more shit and not just pixels.
Is the RT streaming shitting itself or is it just on my end?
