I'm surprised that this event hasn't sparked much in the way of discussion, to be honest. Is everyone just waiting for more concrete information to argue about, is it disinterest or something else?
Funny you should mention that. I was actually considering starting a thread about this, but the primary reason I held off is I was waiting for more details. Our 24 hr media has a tendency to jump the gun, so I didn't want to start a discussion until I had something more concrete.
If you look at the current coverage, CNN has already broken out their fancy 3-D CGI and MSNBC has already stepped on its own foot when one of their anchors, Krystal Ball (hippie parents anyone??) let a prank caller onto the air claiming to be a Sgt. in the Ukrainian Military.
On a side note, has anybody locked down the nuke plants in the Ukraine? They blew one sky high just from a safety test in the 80s. God only knows what might happen to them in a civil war!
