[QUOTE=DETrooper;43630571]Why are you watching it from all the way in the beginning?[/QUOTE]

I got the Ukraine protests boxset for Christmas, on season 2 atm

[QUOTE=evilfoxnl;43630605]From what I've heard the military said: "they will not go against the protesters".

Let's hope it stays that way.[/QUOTE]

Spoiler tag that shit

[QUOTE=BlackPhoenix;43630780]Also it would be very nice if FP showed Ukrainian flag for my IP, which is where I'm from.[/QUOTE]

Flags are set from where you were when you signed up. You can't change them.

I signed up from Ukraine. My IP address geolocates to Ukraine, and always did.

[QUOTE=dai;43630699]tire smoke is really fucking awful and if it's clouding over the area it'll drive off anyone without a good scarf or a gasmask. The wind is in their favor, that's for sure

also I keep seeing weird sparking explosions around the area just behind the news people's picture-in-picture, are those flashbangs or something?[/QUOTE]

Now imagine the wind turning....

[FluD]

when this would happen in the streets of America? will be much interesting.

Since it's winter time wouldn't it be more effective to just send out the fire brigade(or those police water truck) to pour water on the protestants than to use guns, bats and smoke. The cold would force them to leave and it wouldn't look as bad as armored cops shooting around at people.

It could also work other way around :v:

Flagdog screws up sometimes, some UK facepunchers also have Russia showing up as their country of origin

They don't just want to neutralise them temporarily.

They want to neutralise them permanently.

[QUOTE=Drag0nSnak3;43630475]I've been watching the stream some time ago and noticed that when the protesters' cocktails didn't explode on impact, the police would throw them back at the protesters.[/QUOTE]
Yawmwen was right all along.

It's illegal to use waterguns when temperature is below 0 deg C (right now it's -9 deg C)

The russian news reported that this restriction was removed, no idea if it's legit tho

[Doom64hunter]

There are Afghanistan veterans on the protesters side. Lets see if they still remember the urban war tactics and can make better use of those tanks than the government can.

[Buzzkillington]

Are the snipers using lethal bullets or non-lethal?

the massive warbeat going on has been surreal the whole way through, but knowing something was going to happen at 1:20:00 it really fucking amped up the stress
