Ukraine situation generally seems to resemble war-torn Syria with US assisting rebels

Floods of angry mobs, buildings ablaze, and chaos around every corner are ordinary incidents in war-torn Syria. However, Ukraine is starting to see the same mess unfold in its nation where US-supported rebel groups are responsible for bloody battles and seized government buildings. 

Rebels have occupied and set fire to government facilities including the trade union center, the central post office, and political party headquarters in Ukraine. Weapons were stolen from a military depot by rebels who began pulling the trigger and aiming the firearms at police, leaving ten dead.

Emerging reports claim that reinforcements are showing up to assist the rebel side with "bulky backpacks near the scene of the latest protests," are mysteriously reminiscent of the "Internet in a Suitcase" scheme monetarily supported by the US government.

But the West seems to have long since decided who is to blame, and who is not. This kind of video footage is extremely popular. The video titled I Am a Ukrainian has been watched by some 3 million people in just 10 days.
