“Rebels control Kiev”

That is a false statement. The people of the Ukraine were represented in the Government of the Ukraine by their elected Deputies in the Ukrainian parliament. President Yanukovych was removed from office by the parliament and its elected Deputies, becuase of the crimes committed by President Yanukovych and the government ministers he appointed.

Although the last Ukrainian constitution required the parliament to follow certain technical procedures to remove President Yanukovych from his office for the crimes he committed and the parliament did not complete those constitutional procedures, it must also be observed that President Yanukovych and his ministers obstructed the implementation of those same procedures using what is likely to also have been unconstitutional and perhaps criminal acts. It is even questoinable whether or not yanukovych was even elected lawfully or that he was lawfully inaugurated into office by unconstitional means. Consequently, it appears that whatever constitutional defects there may or may not have been with respect to how the parliament exercised its sovereign authority and powers in regard to enforcing the laws of the nation may be justified by other constitutional law placing the burden of resolving such issues upon the people’s elected Deputies. Accordingly, it was Yanukovych and his criminal accomplices who are the rebels against the sovereign will of the parliament and the Deputies representing the citizens of the Ukraine.

Thus putting the current regime entirely outside of their own laws. Its akin to the dems in 2000 getting honked off they lost what they felt was a "rigged" election and removing a sitting president without following constitutional provision after lots of violent protesting.

The Ukraine government no longer exists. When you destroy a national government no one is certain to follow whatever clowns take the statehouse. Thats what is happening here and the US is mainly upset it installed an incompetent after the coup we backed.

Say, Whiskey, they could have waited a few months for the scheduled elections. They didn't, therefore they're not the legitimate government however you spin the "I hate Putin" EU butt kissing bottle.

They're whining because other groups in the Ukraine are taking matters into their own hands and ignoring the rules which is exactly the same thing the Kiev crowd did to weasel into into power in the first place.

A crystal clear case of democrat fascist, "the rules are for thee, not for me" behavior.
