“Is it really that easy for a few thousand people to take over a whole country? It reminds me of the Bolshevik Revolution.”
Yes, a firebomb throwing mob, of a few thousand took over. And like the Bolsheviks, they were supported by Germany, for German (EU) goals.
Nobody seems to worry much about how the majority felt.
The Germans helped broker an agreement to end the uprising and allow Yanukovich to stay in office. If Germany was behind this uprising then it’s safe to say it’s grown out of their control.
There is some speculation that Soros funded the protesters in order to cause upheaval and benefit from messing around with currencies.
Why is this portrayed as some kind of democratic movement? Half of the country wants to be aligned with the EU and half with Russia. The elected government was overthrown by the people who wanted to ally with the EU. I fail to see this as some great movement towards freedom. In fact, Russia may be freer than most of the EU countries now, in a strange reversal of roles.
Why do we assume we can find bad guys and good guys in any conflict, when it usually boils down to factions fighting for power and spouting lies to fool the people? The woman who was just released from prison carries some suspicious baggage as well.
