Ukraine (closed; covers till August 2014)

One finger

So far not shot has been fired. Till now, as unarmed Ukrainian soldiers march are greeted by Russian soldiers with warning shots.

It just takes one nervous finger on the trigger, one finger for the first wounded or dead.

The most hilarious part of this video are the comments and exclamations of the participants.
I'll just translate my favorites for you, guys:

"America with us!" (1:26)

" Here is a Soviet banner, will you shoot at it?" (1:30)

Don't you find it completely surreal?

ps. About sanctions. You, Westerners, somehow missed the major point - any sanctions, especially freezing or seizing the financial assets of the ruling classes just give Putin a bit more popular support, because wide-spread attitude here, in Russia, is: "What is bad for crooked cleptocrats, oligarchy and elites - is good for nation", and for Putin of cause, he is still a kinda beloved leader.
