The Land of Magical Thinking: Inside Putin’s Russia

“Well there really isn’t much difference between those in Ukriane and those in Russia as I see it....the people basically have the same abused past history and have great difficulty handling “freedom” because they tend to be a dependent people and therefore adjusting, taking respossibility for their own affairs is something foreign to them.”

That's largely true. The only difference is that quite a few in Ukraine understand that this is a problem and try to change that. Russians on the other hand, enjoy it and try to keep Ukraine in this mess.

Ukraine has always been a mess but now it’s in the position of “Just wanna feel apart of ‘something’.... Unfortuantely they have no Sovereignty as they’re currently still governed by foreign citizens who take their orders from Washington.

Then you have Yats who continues to go around begging for money. It’ll be more than lucky if it gets it’s head above water because I don’t think the EU nor the US want it for more than a debtor state they can run revenue through while they rape it of it’s resources etc....basically we’re seeing big geopolitical players resolve their issues at Ukraine’s peoples expense, so unfortunately nothings changed ecept a trad off of Oligarchs....

“Unfortuantely they have no Sovereignty as they’re currently still governed by foreign citizens who take their orders from Washington.”

Let's say this bolshevik bullshyt is true. That still would be, in my opinion, a vast improvement over taking orders from Moscow. Apparently in your opinion, that is disaster. Why ? Something to do with NWO/neo-cons/Monsanto nazis/banksters ?

Ukraine politics are a disaster....they continue to rob their people and simply play musical chairs in any so called new governance they get. Doesn’t matter if Russia or the EU...both rape the country to serve their own means.

The Foreign positions filled are to make certain the revenue flows to the corporate entites and IMF ....one group of Oligarchs against the other...LOL

“they continue to rob their people and simply play musical chairs in any so called new governance they get. Doesn’t matter if Russia or the EU...”

So far for vast majority of post Soviet independence period, Ukraine has been under Russian control and the result is ruined economy and 3rd world style corruption and mismanagement. The new gov has been in power for too short (and is concentrated mainly on security issues due to obvious reasons) to tell if they are going to facilitate a significant improvement or not.

If you mean that many of individuals behind current authorities were also a part of “old elites”, so it must be the same crap... It is not really about guy x or y but about the overall environment they are operating in. Both external and internal.

For governments of small/mid sized countries that are in Kremlin's sphere of influence the message is clear: We fuck our own people, steal billions from them and we won't mind if you do the same. EUnuchs/America are far from perfect, I'm well aware of that but that's a totally different league. Like I said before, just compare post-commie countries that joined NATO/EU and those that stayed under Russian influence.
