It's because you are a broken record player and it starts to get annoying, do you get mental stimulation from Maidan or something?
Its never too late to speak the truth. For the whole time of the EuroMaidan protest, accusation of people being armed were always ignored and even months after, it was highly doubted. Here you got the image proof. I'm not forcing you to take the red pill
And you're confusing destroying a long-lived "protesters in maidan had no firearms" (a scoop for some); and repeating an old acknowledged bit of information.
Feels like the "russian invasion of crimea" argument destruction again
<< no shit! we already knew it!>>
Which of these guns can effectively shoot even at 100m range? And how many people on Maidan have these weapons compare to people who didn't have any? And now compare this to warfare of pro-Russians. Meh.
Now the next fail argument is the difference in caliber/accuracy between hunting rifles and assault rifles... guys, for real.
I read Lt_Anders post and I totally agree with him, the difference is
there. Even Dave can see that its hard comparing the warfare between rioters and police, and between insurgents and army.
The point is acknowledging (as Anders pointed, but I think you ignored that part) that Maidan proportionally armed themselves against
riot police. No fucking surprise they didnt bring surface air missiles.
In Eastern, at the beginning of the counter-Maidan movement, there was only riot police too, and how armed was the population? Thats right, same as Maidan.
After they began sending SBU, self-defense forces, national guards (a bit over the "riot police" category of use of force), some days later you had your first police station takedown and more and more guys showing with bullet proof vests and assaults rifles. Thats right, same as Maidan, the government and the opposition are both responsible for the proportional escalation of violence.
I dont blame Maidan activists for taking arms, nor do I blame the new government for trying to cure the problem the manu militari way, I blame the people behind who painted lions in Maidan as sheeps, and the same guys are painting the sheeps in eastern as lions. And I also blame your poor judgement...
For Dave:
Butan. And I've just noticed. You know what is the funniest thing in your post? Lol, the only military (not hunting or air-pump action) gun that is shown there is on the last picture: PM (Pistolet Makarova) that uses 9mm ammo. And guess what? Look at the stripes, it's used by a pro-Russian guy. Nice knowledge of the situation. Get in a group with Panos.
Sorry, I must have overslept while looking at youtube videos trying to open some eyes on what really was Maidan. But good job finding the straw in my eye, now your beam pls?
