much as the crises that France and Great Britain went through a few years ago, of which the Soros international cartel profited greatly by what was essentially “insider trading”on exchange rates.

Insider trading? LOL!

Betting against the government was more like it. You could have done the same, no inside info needed.

Apparently, somebody believes that being democratically elected gives one the power to jail political opponents, pass dictatorial laws, kidnap, torture and murder those who are of different opinion.
How can you be defending this man? It’s indefensible.

People who blame Soros make more sense, and that’s not saying much

"Many of the West Ukraine 'protestors' are neo-Nazi fascists. Complete with Nazi symbols, which are being scrawled in Kiev."

I haven't yet been able to find information showing that any large portion of them are neo-Nazis but am very interested in seeing links to such information with sources. Protest leaders did identify small contingents of neo-Nazis making trouble.

There was this from earlier, but it and associated reports only mentioned the general dangers of the last couple of months from fighting between police and civilians, sporadic looting, robbing, etc.

The Interpreter

London-based Herzen Foundation and the New York-based Institute of Modern Russia

Earlier today:

Excerpt:
This is not a coincidence. Yanukovych is reportedly in Kharkiv, a pro-Yanukovych stronghold (or it’s supposed to be), and he’s at a conference of the “Ukrainian Front,” a collection of politicians, and pro-government street thugs, who are willing to die for the President. But as a recent article by John Schindler, on The XX Committee, points out, the Ukranian Front appears to be deeply influenced and controlled by the Russian government. In fact, the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Russian State Duma, Alexei Pushkov, is present in Kharkiv right now. Here’s what the report has to say about the nature of the Ukrainian Front:

It seems Moscow is not pleased with its protege Yanukovych and his inability to crush the opposition, so it is forming a new grouping to “assist” the hardliners. Given that the appearance of the Ukrainian Front has been heralded with a birth announcement in the Kremlin’s official newspaper, Russian approval and support can be assumed.

Moreover, the embrace of Stalinist-era rhetoric by the Ukrainian Front indicates a great deal, and will serve as a needless irritant towards Ukrainians who detest Stalin and his murderous legacy. In a similar vein, Communist activists have unveiled a bust of Stalin in Western Ukraine, a provocation that is about as offensive to most locals there as a statue of Hitler would be in the rest of Europe. Of course, hailing Stalin’s victories in the 1940′s is of a piece with the current Kremlin vilification campaign against all Ukrainians who do not want their country to be subjugated by Russia, a nasty agitprop line that regrettably has Western supporters, not all of them unwitting dupes.

Now that the Ukrainian Front has entered the picture, with Moscow’s imprimatur, expect the situation in Ukraine to only get worse. It would be difficult to overstate the danger Ukraine and Europe are in at the moment thanks to intimidation, meddling and provocation by Vladimir Putin’s Kremlin. European governments would be well advised to not permit naked Russian interference of a violent and coercive sort in Ukrainian politics: this cannot end well.


And now we have rallies in Sevastopol, where the Russian Black Fleet is anchored, in favor of reuniting with Russia (jump to update 1410).

So far, I’ve found that antisemitism in Ukraine has been spoken and acted out by both Russian identity and other Ukrainian groups. It appears that most of the antisemitic political speech has come from some of the Ukrainian nationalist politicians, while most of the physical attacks were perpetrated by Russian identity skinheads.

A political opponent of Yulia Tymoshenko, former Prime Minister now freed from prison, publicly said that she was Jewish from an assumption that it would hurt her political prospects. Most Ukrainians have rejected candidates who publicly spoke antisemitism, although there’s also been too much tolerance for publicly expressed antisemitism (not enough public criticism against antisemitic statements).

It looks like there’s much antisemitism in former Soviet satellite countries. There’s also much antisemitism in Russia. The same is true of all of the nations on the planet to various extents. Israel has no really trustworthy international friends.

LOL. I’d like to see what methods you are using to determine their ethnic identity. Or maybe some Ukrainian nationalists told you?
