As Russia moves 10,000 troops to the Ukrainian border and Crimea prepares for a secession referendum, tension remains high all over Ukraine, especially in the East.
On the night of Thursday, March 13 VICE News reporter Robert King captured this scene on the streets of Donetsk, where a large group of pro-Russian activists attacked a group of pro-Ukrainian demonstrators calling for unity.

Maybe we aren't reading the same threads. I've seen plenty of people blame what is going on in Ukraine/Crimea on the US. Given Obama is the commander-in-chief, who else do you think they are implying is at fault?

I'm saying the CT about Ukraine Government being overthrown are being used to blame the US Government and thus Obama. And in advance of the usual suspects that come along and say it's not a CT, I'll ask the same question that's been answered and avoided: Where's the proof?

Because we aren't talking about the Bay of Pigs, we are talking about people accusing the US Government (and it's leaders) of being behind a coup in Ukraine. Your original statement was that you had never seen such a thing said on DU. I'm pointing out that you are wrong.
