Here's what I'd like to know.

When the tanks reach the citadel, and the soldiers must choose between disobeying their commanders and slaughtering their own people, what will the Putin apologists on this board have to say?

Will they still claim that Yanukovich is carrying out the will of the people? Will they still claim that communion with Holy Mother Russia trumps basic human decency?

ROFL. When they get there and begin slaughtering you let me know. :-)

RE: Will they still claim that communion with Holy Mother Russia trumps basic human decency?

As an aside, this sort of rhetoric, which depicts a messianic role for Russia, was a key element in the proto Stalinist Pan Slavic movements originated by the Moscow intellectuals about 120 years ago. Naturally, Stalin revived it in the heat of WW2 to great effect. Just a note ....
