Hey, the acting President should take care of things without “calling” on someone else to do things. What is he, an Obama?
“Hey, the acting President should take care of things without “calling” on someone else to do things. What is he, an Obama?”
What you are demanding is for him to behave like a dictator, which he is not and does not act like. You are acting like a person with the mindset of a person who likes dictators.
No, I am acting like a person who expects their “installed” leader to act like one that is prepared for his or her duties as a leader. That leader is supposed to have people that consult and direct him in a time of crisis to do the job he was “installed” to do. If he isn’t up to the task he should never have agreed to fight a foe such as Russia.
I would assume those citizens that are backing him are hoping and praying he will know what to do in a crisis.
Crying, “somebody do something” by my president would not give me a sense of security.
Hey, he is all suited up in an immaculate combat ready costume.

Impressed?
yanukovich is the duly elected president.
“the acting President should take care of things without “calling” on someone else to do things.”
He’s just a puppet who’s been on the job for a couple of months. He needs his foreign handlers to clean up the country for him. He has no money and the whole country hates him.
He is now the legally impeached former president.
I get that you feel more comfortable with Presidents for Life like Putin and Chavez, but Ukrainians see things differently.
“yanukovich is the duly elected president.”
You are making a false statement.
1. Yanukovych may or may not have been lawfuly elected and/or lawfully inaugurated. There is some evidence his supposed election was rigged by massive vote fraud that was legally challenged. There is also some evidence of unconstitutional irregularities in the way the court dismissed the complaint/s of this vote fraud. There is some controversial evidence to indicate Yanukovych was inaugurated at a time in which the constitution prohibeted while the challenge of vote fraud was still undetermined. So, the question of whether or not Yanukovych was lawfully elected and inaugurated remained/remains in question.
2. Since Yanukovich was the de facto President whether or not he was also the de jure President, let’s assume for the sake of discussion he WAS the lawful President. The fact remains Yanukovich ceased being the de facto or the de jure President of the Ukraine the moment he chose to vacate the office of the President, commit treason against the state, and defect to his Russian paymasters to escape prosecution for his crimes in the Ukraine. There is nothing in the Ukrainian constitution that permits the President to commit treason against the state, abandon his office and duties, and flee the jurisdiction of the Ukrainian courts to evade criminal prosecution. Consequently, Yanukoviych IS NOT the President of the Ukraine whether or not he ever was.
#. In the event a President and successors vacate the office of the president, it is the constitutional duty of the parliment to appoint an acting president to perform the duties of the office pending the election of a new president. The parliament fuflfilled that constitutional duty by appointing an acting president and schedule the election of a new president. The former President and wanted criminal suspect, his Russian paymasters, and his pro-Russian seperatists are attempting to use lethal force and insurrection to obstruct the election mandated by the Ukrainian constitution.
So, Yanukovich is certainly not “the duly elected president” today, whether or not he ever was in the past.
We recognize you wish it were like your fictional version of events; but sadly for your fantasy, it is not. The acting President does not have the power to act unilaterally in this matter due to the Geneva accords which involve the other branches fo the Ukrainian government. He is acting lawfully, whereas you are making some unwarranted and rather cowardly insulting remarks about the man. Such remarks by you reflect badly upon your own character.
Why were USAID, Pierre Omidyar and George Soros funding Rybachuk and the opposition NGO’s, especially after the Syria debacle??
Why did the Maidan protests kick off just after the Ukraine government started a money-laundering investigation into this connection?
I love how the “terrorist” label is applied to anyone who opposes the one using the word — especially when the roles were reversed only two months earlier. Like the overused “racist” charge, “terrorist” is losing its meaning.
Hey, he's got the genius team... Obama, Biden and Kerry advising him every step of the way. What could possibly go wrong?
