-Facts are Tymoshenko’s conviction was not for the “criminal career from the 90s and embezzlement of millions”. It was for the financial losses the state incurred when Ukraine started buying Russian gas at $400. There was no personal wealth for her to be gained there, unless you claim that Putin paid her a fraction of that amount in a secret arrangement. But then we’re in the Loch Ness Area 51 secret conspiracy territory and no argument is good enough
-Ya. re-wrote the already re-written constitution when it suited him, what is not true here? In 2004 when his opponent won the presidency, he’s for the stronger parliament; in 2010 when he won the office, he’s for the stronger presidency. If this is not hypocrisy on his part, don’t know what is
-the usage of force on that Nov 30 gathering was completely unjustified. You obviously didn’t watch the video I referenced. But yeah, to disperse people in such a way is perfectly understandable - in a African 3rd world country. You see this in the States, there are criminal investigations the next day. The way the Occupy was handled was picture perfect - you put the handcuffs on, take him and keep him overnight. What you see on the video is nothing close to that - it can’t be right
-let’s agree to disagree. You like the police state where one does hard time for questioning the government, I like my free speach
Face it Ivan, your precious ‘gas-princess’ Yuli Tymoshenko spent her entire career embezzling money either from private companies or the the state (proven) and the phony ‘pro-democracy’ movement in Ukraine is now simply a front for a national separatist movement intent on tearing the country in half. The 2004 Orange revolution was a complete failure and the losers from the west who don’t want to face the consequences of their own actions are now turning their back on the democratic process.
