Anyone who advocates for Muslim enslavers of Christians like the Tartars is a scumbag in my eyes. Are you such a scumbag enabler of Islam?
Jim, the only ‘revolution was against the ‘putin puppet Viktor Yanukovych. He rejected a pending EU association agreement, choosing instead to pursue a Russian loan bailout and closer ties with Russia. This led to popular protests and the occupation of Kiev’s Independence Square, a series of events dubbed the “Euromaidan” by young pro-European Union Ukrainians. In January 2014, this developed into deadly clashes in Independence Square and in other areas across Ukraine, as Ukrainian citizens confronted the Berkut and other special police units.
In February 2014, Ukraine appeared to be on the brink of civil war, as violent clashes between protesters and special police forces led to many deaths and injuries.
The February 21 agreement laid out a plan in which the Rada, or Parliament, would pass a bill to return Ukraine to its 2004 Constitution, thus returning the country to a constitutional system centered around its parliament. Under the terms of the agreement, Yanukovych was to SIGN the enacting legislation within 24 hours and bring the crisis to a peaceful conclusion.
On 21 February 2014, Yanukovych claimed that, after lengthy discussions, he had reached an agreement with the opposition. Yanukovych refused to keep his end of the bargain. Instead, he packed up his home and fled, leaving behind evidence of wide-scale corruption. After Yanukovych fled Ukraine, even his own Party of Regions turned against him, voting to confirm his withdrawal from office and to support the new government. Ukraines new government was approved by the democratically elected Ukrainian Parliament, with 371 votes more than an 82% majority.

Abby Martin used the end of her time slot to make an extraordinary statement about Russia’s actions in Crimea
A news reporter for a Kremlin-funded Russian news organisation has made an extraordinary statement about the rising tensions in Ukraine.
Abby Martin, who works for Russia Today, a channel that has been criticised for its pro-Putin stance, used the end of her Breaking the Set slot to express her own views about Russia’s actions .
She said: “Before we wrap up the show I wanted to say something from my heart about the ongoing political crisis in Ukraine and Russia’s military occupation of Crimea.
“Just because I work here, for RT, doesn’t mean I don’t have editorial independence and I can’t stress enough how strongly I am against any state intervention in a sovereign nations affairs.
“What Russia did is wrong.
“I admittedly don’t know as much as I should about Ukraine’s history or the cultural dynamics of the region but what I do know is that military intervention is never the answer and I will not sit here and apologise or defend military aggression.
“Furthermore the coverage I have seen of Ukraine has been truly disappointing from all sides of the media spectrum and rife with disinformation.
“Above all my heart goes out to the Ukrainian people who are now wedged as pawns in the middle of a global power chess game. They’re the real losers here.
“All we can do know is hope for a peaceful outcome for a terrible situation and prevent another full blown cold war between multiple super powers.
“Until then I’ll keep telling the truth as I see it. Have a good night everyone, I’ll see you back here to break the set tomorrow.”

Drop me in a town between Vaduz and Kharkov, or between Gdansk and Salonika and I can tell you if I'm in the Old Empire or not.
The idiot Wilson and his successors in American adventurism have spent the last 98 years screwing with naturally occurring European political structures, with catastrophic consequences for the people involved, including the Rusyns, Carpathians, Volhynians, Cossacks, Pannonians, Russians and actual Ukrainians.
There is no way that a unitary Ukrainian state can exist integrated with Western Europe and its atheistic, homosexualist and degenerate peoples.
The American coup has failed, decisively. The best (most likely to be stable and peaceful) outcome is partition, with Lemberg and the Volhynia to the EU and the rest to Russia.
It was NOT an American Coup. If it was, the Ukraine would be at peace now with their borders intact. But, I have no intention to argue with you.
Further more, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko spoke to a joint session of the U.S. Congress on September 18, 2014. He asked for U.S. military assistance and aid in Ukraine’s conflict against Russia, referencing mutual protection agreements such as Budapest Memorandums on Security Assurances, 1994 and the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement.
“Today, aggression against Ukraine is a threat to global security everywhere. Hybrid proxy wars, terrorism, national radical and extremist movements, the erosion of international agreements, the blurring, and even erasing, of national identities: all of these threats now challenge Europe. If they are not stopped now, they will cross European borders and spread throughout the globe.
To prevent this, thousands of Ukrainian soldiers are in the line of fire right now.
Speaking in the United States Congress, from this high beacon of freedom, I want to thank them for their sacrifice!
I urge the world to recognize and endorse their fight!
They need more political support!
And they need more military equipment both non-lethal and lethal.
Blankets and night-vision goggles are important.
But one cannot win a war with blankets!
I thank all those in America who realize and appreciate the historic importance of this fight.
Just like Israel, Ukraine has the right to defend her territory and it will do so, with all the courage of her heart and dedication of her soul!”
