I’m not seeing anything about this on American TV, including Al Jazeera. The Western Media just doesn’t know what to do when the truth doesn’t match their official narrative. It looks like another color revolution has failed miserably.
Where are good old Nazi-loving Sean Walker and Luke Harding? Are they among the protesters trying to storm the parliament? Is Sean riding along side of another Russian Invasion Column as it crosses the Ukrainian Border as he once claimed?
Either way, this one will be hard to pin on Putin and there will be mass panic in the Guardians’s Editorial Board Room. Is is possible that they won’t report on it at all?
The neo nazi have been unleashed and trained by the west.
Can’t wait to read MSM on this!!! as how can they explain the arrival of the nazi who don’t exist.
Another day, another non-story in the western MSM. No nazis here, folks. Nothing to see at all. Move along now…
