Viktor Yuschenko, before and after poisoning.
Putin’s hand has to be involved if this is true.
I’m not up on my post SovUnion tiny statelets...should I be happy or worried this is happening?
Well, since Yuschenko is the anti-Russian anti-communist liberty type guy, and he is ousted by the pro-Putin/Communists, then yes, this could be bad for liberty and good for tyranny scum. But I could be wrong, as I haven’t heard much from the Ukraine since Yuschenko got into power a couple of years ago.
I mean, poisoning your political opponents is just so evil. And it could happen here (think the Clntons).
The short answer is that Yuschenko was backed by George Soros, and is probably closer to the EU than the US. But he is far better than the alternative, which is a Putin puppet.
Putin is cranking up the Cold War again and trying to cow all his neighbors. Ukraine is the largest and most important of these neighboring states, sometimes known as Russia’s bread basket.
“Ha Ha! Do you know what the Ukraine is? It’s a sitting duck. The Ukraine is weak. It’s feeble. I think it’s time to put a little hurt on the Ukraine!”
“And I’m taking the Congo as a penalty!”
A coup would be if Yanukovich's mafia thugs were able to undermine Yushchenko's presidency. This is not a coup.
Actually Soros did not endorse Yushchenko. That was a rumor started by Yushchenko’s opponents to smear him. It’s not true.
Huh? The massgopguy talk funny...
The Ukraine falls mainly to the Russian Plane....
You forgot “It’s a road apple”!
Is that right? I’m glad to be corrected.
Soros did indeed give money to the Orange Revolution. But I don't think he did it for any nefarious purpose. Soros gave huge sums of money to many East European countries. Many expats, the children of Ukrainian DP's, moved to Ukraine after the coup and were funded solely by Soros. Some of his donations had good effects, others, not so good.
As for "anti Russian", Yushchenko built good ties with Russia.
Blame Tymoshenko for the turn of events.
All Ukraine's politicians are Russia's puppets.
The Rada has been dissolved by the President. Yanukovych controls only gangs of criminals.
