I think you and sid70 missed the point with uniforms. I didn't say they are mass equipped with it but what I am saying that precisely that unfiromin Ukraine is sending a message. Why it is not Japaneese, Romanian, Greek or from Zimbabwe?
Let me remind you why:

Similar happened in Yugoslavia, and same boss gave orders. When Croats started using their marks that were used during WW2 (One of most loyal Hitler allies that even had some roles in Stalingrad) , it provoked reaction. Then Serbs started using their marks from war and goal was reached and that is to increase, fear,paranoia and start aggression. Precisely what is now done in Ukraine, force people in fight. Once first blood start, everything will go to hell. It is tested scenario that works every time with mostly naive Slavs.
It is simple, divide and conquer.
Sid70 said below it is against corruption and government. Corruption is not about government but about mentality of people and won't be changed with government change. Actually, in my case, it became hundred times worse after happened same as in Ukraine now, 14 years ago but EU is tolerating that shit because they don 't care, they have market and resources and as long profit is there, everything is fine and "democratic". Poor Ukrainians simply don't have experience in this matter.
They already had that mess of Orange Revolution and Yanukovich lost then and on next elections was elected. So what now, everytime when our governments make some decision we don't like , we all should go to streets and start shooting around and demolishing? Really? Wait next turn and vote again. It is always better then war and destruction but from some reason it is fine in Ukraine, right? Guess what would happen in UK, US, France..anywhere else.
I am watching whole day what is going on there. Yanukovich is making big mistakes. At first he should not let them for months , but immediately do what would any other country done in such situation. After that, make referendum about splitting country on east and west. Do it civilized like Czeshoslovakia did. Can't wait next winter to then western part of country with market prices of Russian gas, without subventions. It will be time when they must start taking expensive credits to solve basic problem, and that is just the begining.
