Looks like the pro-Western Orange revolution did not last. I bet that the KGB controlled Russians had something to do with it....

Or maybe the Soros/EU controlled Yushchenko's & Tymoshenko's increasing taxes by 20%, minimal wage by 90% (thus an increase in unemployment), destroying thousands of small businesses, inflation at 17%, maximum price caps on meat, milk, wheat, gas, gasoline and oil causing shortages, and dropping the GDP growth from 12.7% last year to barely 3.8% this year.

Now who sounds more communist? Nothing like a bunch of spoiled Oranges to ruin an economy.

Oh and by the way, Yushchenko and Tymoshenko were both Communist Party members and apparatcheks, or how do you think Tymoshenko earned $11 billion and the title of Gas Princes in 5 years of government "service"?

The orange revolution was NEVER pro-Western.

It was just another faction, who wanted power and people in the West bought the propaganda.

The bottom line was that Kuchma, the previous PM provided very tangible help to us in Iraq, sending a large number of troops. Yushchenko, your fine "pro-West" leader pulled out the troops from Iraq, stabbing the US in the back, they tried to stop privatization and tanked the economy.

People are starting to figure it out.
