Yes, and they don’t want to piss off the Russians any farther. Who knows what the vodka-sodden Soviet Bolsheviks will do next?
Yes! What we need is an agreement. Like Molotov-Ribbentrop. It would solve everything.
Who in their right mind would want membership in that sinking ship EU now?
I voted for Cruz 3 times here in Texas I am done with Cruz and will never vote for this piece of slime ever again.
Ops wrong thread, sorry.
Anyone who wants nothing to do with the Russians, for starters.
This announcement by Dutch prime minister is actually helping Ukraine. Dutch are having a referendum about whether to approve a free trade deal between Ukraine and EU. There is a movement painting scary images saying that approving the free trade deal would mean that Ukraine is in the EU.
The prime minister said that is not the case and urged the voters to approve the deal. Trumpinator of course leaves this out.
Ukraine sent their soldiers to Iraq to help.
Who would want to be, you will all be slaves to islam in another 5 years when the population is the majority and heads will roll, enjoy
big piece to leave out. Thank you very much.

That is false on all counts - the last legit leader of the Ukraine played both sides of the equation. He frustrated Putin as much as he did the west. And I get why the pro coup side wants to deny the Nazi element but it sounds like Muslims denying the jihadi elements in their Arab spring movement at this point.

The Netherlands one of five lands blocking Ukraine EU membership
The Netherlands is one of five European countries which have consistently blocked moves to open the way for Ukraine to join the EU, the Volkskrant says on Friday. Germany, France, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands all refused to allow any openings to Ukraine, despite the efforts of Britain, Sweden, Poland and the Baltic states during five years of treaty talks, the paper says. It bases its claims on diplomatic sources. Read more at DutchNews.nl: The Netherlands one of five lands blocking Ukraine EU membership http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2016/04/88027-2/
i’m with you man. as long as putin doesn’t go in any further. he’s just barely inside Ukraine. but we should send heavy arms if they ever try to go deeper, which they probably wont because they can barely afford a one front war in Syria.
Strange article. It leaves out that Rutte also said he urges the Dutch voters to vote Yes on the free trade treaty.
Here is the interview in question in Dutch - http://www.nu.nl/politiek/4238959/interview-rutte-we-moeten-wens-van-rusland-niet-belonen.html - you can use auto translate.
Pretty clear that the English article was quote mining and made it seem like Rutte is advocating NO when in fact he is advocating YES.
free trade is not EU membership.
Exactly. And free trade is what the referendum is about. There is a camp that wants to make it about something else and spreads the FUD saying a Yes vote would mean Ukraine becomes a EU member. That is why Rutte said he doesn’t think Ukraine should become a EU member, but the referendum is not about that and urges people to vote Yes.
