>>Option 3 is neither, but having Russia as the neighbour it’s difficult. Empire decease - thinking what others have is yours - is not easily curable and as long as Russia wants to take control of Ukraine, option 3 is not possible<<
I’m really happy to see you alive and well, Mazepa and I also have a few questions. Who will be a leader of Ukraine after Yanukovitz? Who will be Ukraine’s major trading partners and an export/import structure? What has to be an economic base for a future government? Has Russia to continue it’s financial aid and keep subsidized gas flowing after it’s ‘puppet’ removed? What is your attitude towards NATO and how do you like EU regulations? Are Ukrainian businesses planning to comply or planning to close? Are they planning to keep trade with Russia after rejecting Russian trade deal and their product heavily taxed on Russian market? Is there finally any plan with the protestors or is it just hope and change with EU?
Oh my goodness, that’s a boatload of questions
My hopie changie thing is that after all this violence there’s a transformation of Ukrainian minds, death of Sovok and realization that earlier ways of living cannot work any more. That’s the main requirement before the practical decisions can be made
As for Yanukovych replacement, a goat of an average intelligence is an improvement over this guy.
