So you are saying that this is "evil"? --->What is the EaP?
The Eastern Partnership (EaP) is a European Union initiative directed at six countries of Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. The EaP was launched by 27 EU member states and the six partner countries at a summit in Prague on 7 May 2009. The initiative aims at tightening the relationship between the EU and the Eastern partners by deepening their political co-operation and economic integration. The EaP neither promises nor precludes the prospect of EU membership to the partner states. It offers deeper integration with the EU structures by encouraging and supporting them in their political, institutional and economic reforms based on EU standards, as well as facilitating trade and increasing mobility between the EU and the partner states.
It's Eurocentric & bureaucratic enough, but some Soros-spawn plan to take over the world?
No, what is sought for are shared legal standards under which people can do business, from one nation to another.
That it could be exploited by corporations looking after their own financial interests, is par for the course.
Would we prefer laws to be made, then taken down, then changed willy-nilly to give over financial control of in-country investment, in the name of keeping multi-nationals who are not as much nationalistic as profit oriented from doing business?
No, Putin's talking points are only "correct" from perspective of maintaining Russian dominance over Ukraine and other nations on their borders.
The boogy-man propaganda you've been selling here, is in need of some adjustment.
The Russian oligarchs have little standing to being pointing accusatory fingers at their potential competition. But that's the Russian way, just keep spreading and smearing the tar, while cloaking themselves in "righteousness".
I complain due to the double-standards being applied. THe Russia business mobsters are not the friggin answer.
Negotiations and trade agreements ok.
Inciting overthrow of government not ok.
Russia not the answer. True.
Did you read where I compare the Euro group and the Russian group to the Banannos and the Gambinos ? Those are crime families I’m comparing them to.
I make the “radical” statement to make some fun, but make the point:
Russian puppet is not right, Western/Euro/US puppet is not right.
How many times must I repeat this.
Ukraine should control Ukraine.
It’s called national sovereignty.
Every country wants national sovereignty.
If they internally want to have a revolution - that’s up to them. But should I go over there and get a revolution started ? Absolutely not. I’m not a Ukrainian, I have no right to.
I would think that there are still some influential people within the Ukrainian government that are partial to Russia and want to move closer to them.
It will therefore take time for Ukraine, newly independent little country, to be left more and more to self-determine, as older folks start retiring and younger folks start participating more.
Maybe, just maybe, Ukraine could trade with anyone and everyone Ukraine wants to.
It will probably take the Ukrainian people and the governments they elect some time to decide, even if they’re left alone to decide.
