It is completely obvious. And as someone who is personally and deeply tied to the pre Soviet history of Ukraine, I must say that Yuschenko is the closest thing we've seen in this generation to a true Ukrainian patriot in the tradition of the old knightly and noble kings. Few are aware of just how tied to the West Ukraine was particularly prior to Russian expansionism after the 1750s. During the period 1500 - 1600, Ukraine had more in common with London, Paris, Rome, Vienna, Warsaw and Munich than with Moscow. This is a major big deal. And the increasing pan Slavic (in the old Kremlin bootlicking sense) climate here in Free Republic is appalling. Do any of these people realize what they are siding with, in the historical context? They are siding with barbarians.
They not only realize, they are plants to spew communist, pro-Russian crap here and confuse unsuspected FReepers. JB6, ELUMINATE, and others are prime example.
Ukrainians had enough already, Ukraine is on fire, huge demonstration to protest election fraud by pro Putinskies and demanding either recount or resignation of fraud Yanukovych.
