Free Trade?
Is THAT what they saw?
How about Gay “Rights”?
How about Muslims taking over your major cities?
How about economic collapse?
How about destruction of Christianity?
The EU should die - as quickly as possible.
Also, did I advocate IMF involvement? Can you show me where I did?
You agree with me if you recognize that Ukraine needs help and you want to see them get help.
Neither the editorial’s author or myself hate Ukrainians.
I see Ukranian Nazis fighting ethnic Russian nazis fighting Communists.
Can’t say I care who wins.
Yuck! You mean Obama is a necrophile too!
The only time the media dropped the ball on the “revolution” word when it was fully appropriate was when Barry was sworn in.
My goodness, you see things so clearly.
One question: Do you actually know any Ukrainians?
What we owe the Ukranians is thanks for giving us a preview of how events are likely to unfold here in the USA. Substitute “Obama” for “Yanukovych” and “Xi Jinping” for “Vladimir Putin”. Coming soon to a neighborhood near you!
The ones that so willingly collaborated with Nazis and murdered my family are enough.
There is no question in my mind that the Ukrainians were simply mistaken. They did not understand that Putin, and Russia, their benevolent neighbors, only meant the very best for them. And if anyone could make the trains run on time . . . Vladi would.
Let the two countries break themselves up into East and West:
give Russia the entry to a port on the Black Sea, let the Easterners have entry to a port on the Black sea, then have the ability to run their own country. Allow cross border immigration across the new border for ten years
Gee, maybe I should write to John “effin” with my settlement.
Where does one find truth in an article written by a leftist Yale professor for one of the premier neo-Nazi propaganda media outlets called CNN?
Same place most Russians look . . . up their ass.
I see. So all subsequent generations are, by association of ethnicity, guilty of the crimes of that generation? Well, I hope you hate all Germans equally as well. That will sure help humanity.
By that token all blacks in the USA should hate you as well ... and all Cherokee, Lakota, Cheyenne, etc. etc. etc.
Enjoy your morality.
The fiirst is the author's site and the second is a partial review by Ta-Nehisi Coates. This is where I got the following passage from the book about the Holodomor:
Survival was a moral as well as a physical struggle. A woman doctor wrote to a friend in June 1933 that she had not yet become a cannibal, but was “not sure that I shall not be one by the time my letter reaches you.” The good people died first. Those who refused to steal or to prostitute themselves died. Those who gave food to others died. Those who refused to eat corpses died. Those who refused to kill their fellow man died. Parents who resisted cannibalism died before their children did.
I found some truth in it and would not characterize it as ideologically driven in any way whatsoever.
We all have our blind spots.
Hope this helps.
Appreciate your synopsis of the situation as you see it.
I’ll check it out tomorrow.
Semper fi, FRiend.
The best path for the people of Ukraine is independence.
There are zero people trying to maneuver them into an alliance with either the Russians or the EU who do not have an agenda detrimental to the Ukrainians.
They have all kind of dishonest but transparent excuses to try to argue for pushing them one way or another.
You are probably right, but it will be a very difficult path.
Ukraine PM Yatsenyuk warns of 'unpopular steps' ahead - February 26, 2014 - "We are to undertake extremely unpopular steps as the previous government and previous president were so corrupted that the country is in a desperate financial plight," Mr Yatsenyuk told the BBC after the cabinet was announced.
