Various people's takes on this one are starting to converge to the same picture...
Want to understand what’s happening in the Ukraine? Try Google searches on “Ukraine Soros” and/or “Ukraine Monsanto”... People with brains and talent in Ukraine know that Russia's star is rising, and that ours is falling. Only losers and Soros rent-a-rioters are on the wrong side of that one.
"Pussy Riot"??

You open the history book under 'G' for "groupies", and you go through the list of guys who've ever inspired groupie or fan phenomena, and you can at least understand most of it: Genghis Khan, Von Richtofen, Roberto Duran, Mick Jagger...
Anybody can understand a teenage girl or young woman going through some sort of a Mick Jagger groupie phase.
But wanting to be a George Soros groupie??? I mean, I'm sorry, that one leaves me cold, I could come closer to understanding being a Richard Nixon groupie....

Basic reality is that Vladimir Putin is the best ruler Russia has ever had since Tsar Peter and Bork Obunga is the worst ruler any advanced state has ever had since Nero and it would be one thing if Putin was the ONLY competent leader of other nations, but at least two of the leaders of other nations which we have to deal with, Angela Merkel and Benjamin Netanyahu, are also seriously talented. We cannot hope to prosper while being in the business of sending a "community organizer(TM)" out into the world to deal with people like that.
I reckon they’re both scumbags.
It’s really quite simple.
Putin wants his country to be strong and prosperous.
The Won wants his destroyed.

Cut the “rent a mob” crap.
Insult to freedom loving Ukrainians who laid their lives to stop Communist terror, while Americans are slowly “converting” to Commie paradise under Kenyan.
You are being screwed by unchallenged Kenyan impostor Soros’s puppet and loving it!?!
That about sums it up.
One wants his country to do well, the other does not.
But one of them loves his country — the other one not so much.
Vladimir Putin is not a friend of Freedom. It’s a shame that FR is used to promote him.
Putin loves his country and its history. Obama hates his country and the crackers that live in it.
I have my doubts that Ukrainians are dying in the streets for some handout from Soros.
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).
Indeed but a scumbag who loves his country is still a scumbag
But if a scumbag loves his country, it makes him less of a scumbag.
I’ll prefer one of those in the WH any time in the absence of a wise POTUS.
Putinobama
Putin is a tin-pot fascist. You can have him.
