Poland was behind it, but mostly it was us and the EU. Our own ambassador admitted she spent 5 BILLION on it. Hell there are photos of her handing out cookies to the protesters. There are photos of the senile fool McCain backslapping with an honest to god Nazi leader in the Maidan.
And we are pretending that this movement sprung up fully formed and equipped, complete with giant tents and outdoor sound systems, stages, etc,,, all on their own.
Its pure silliness to think that Obama, Kerry, McCain and the EU suddenly were on the side of freedom. It’s even sillier to think that Russia won’t respond to a Nazi dominated government in Kiev by securing historically Russian areas in east Ukraine and in Crimea. They have a real history with Nazis and do not regard them as warmly as parts of Europe and DC do.
I guess neither the Ukraine or Poland has had bad experiences with Nazis, is that it?
The Ukrainian Parliament (who tossed out Yanukovych) still has the same membership. The oligarchs who pull the strings (and became dissatisfied with Yanukovych) are still the same people (and have been for a long time.) As recently as late 2009, opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko was being tagged by “analysts” as Russia’s preferred candidate in the 2010 Presidential election. Putin denied this, as obviously he would, either way. You’re telling us that Putin is scared of a few neo-Nazis with BB guns, tents, and loudspeakers? (That apparently cost 5 billion dollars.)
And yet you demonstrate NO awareness of the bigger picture.
