Spring?
The protesters want to give up national sovereignty and be ruled by Brussels
Quite possibly a Ukranian spring. They play for keeps over there. I can’t remember his name but one of their candidates for President was poisoned some years back.
Obvious Putin’s got this guy by the balls. Let’s see who squeezes harder: Putin or the Ukranians.
It’s time for the age old question - Who does the army back?
We should learn a lesson from them peoples.
The hits Kiev coming, and Ukraine go back again.
Yes, only they need to get a proper term to express “Freedom”, like;

Declaration of Independence

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
When Russia invaded Georgia Bush sent warships into the Baltic and launched a resupply airlift. Had Putin responded militarily he could have set off a war with NATO that could have escalated into a nuclear exchange. Since that time the Russian strategy to retake the wayward republics has been limited to economic and political subversion. But if these protests spiral Putin may feel the only alternative is force.
No.
The heavily populous and Russian-speaking East is not participating in the protests.
We’re not seeing a revolution - and a revolution that wants to subjugate Ukrainian independence to Brussels is no revolution at all.
Analogy: Ted Cruz is elected President and Republicans take control of Congress in 2016. In 2108, hundreds of thousands of Rat parasites surround federal buildings in Washington, D.C. and demand Cruz’s resignation.
So, will Vlad step in?
