Whelp, this is starting to get legitimately scary.
This isn't just thugs anymore, these are armed insurgents taking down helicopters. No one is for sure yet if they are Spetznaz, which to me seems unlikely because they are dying in large amounts, but they are remarkably well armed (with missiles and stuff).
Then this happened today in Odessa:

As I read it somewhere else pro-Ukrainian activists went and torched a Pro-Russian camp, the Russians shot 10 or so of the Ukranians, then the Ukranians chased them into a building, trapped them inside, and burned them alive in it.
Also, apparently the sanctions may actually really significant as well. This isn't just about Putin's buddies having assets frozen. This is about big businesses in Russia being cut out of all international business. But still, I keep hearing different accounts about how serious it really is. Republican news says its useless, dem news says its super effective.
So...yeah, anyone know more about this? I'm trying to get caught up but its very confusing with all the spin etc.
