Perhaps they just misunderstand Lenin. /s

About the only thing John McCain said that I agree with, “When I looked into Putin’s eyes I saw ‘K-G-B’.”

Putin is not our friend and he is not a friend to the citizens of Ukraine.

....Meanwhile, back in the USSA, Obama raises a monument to Lenin in Obamacare.

What? People who don’t want to live in close proximity with Putin? I smell a rat. /s

Most Ukrainians live in the NovoRossiya and Russian-speakers feel like they live in another country.

The protests have revealed the gulf between Donetsk, which wants closer ties to Moscow and Lvov, that looks to Brussels.

Two decades after both parts of the country voted for independence, Ukraine is split down the middle - and the protestors’ rejection of Russia is anathema in places like the Crimea, that are overwhelmingly ethnic Russian in composition.

The connection between Ukraine and Russia goes back to the baptism of Rus’ in 988, NOT to the anti-Orthodox mass-murderer Lenin!!!!

The opposition may stand up to Yanukovich’s police and maybe even his military. But once they cross a certain line they will be confronted by Putin's high-tech Cossacks.

How do they even have statues of this guy still standing?

[Fred Hayek]

I wish someone would do that to the Lenin statue in Seattle.

They want to join an EU that is pursuing lennins dream vs Russia who is running from it.

> “Yanukovich, you are next!” chanted protesters as they took turns to hack at the prostrate - and now headless - red granite statue of Lenin, leader of the 1917 Bolshevik revolution.

Thanks 1rudeboy.

The EU and Lennin are the same. Wanting independence is great but the EU is worse than Russia. Who is behind these protests???

[Revolting cat!]

Let us hope it can be recycled into a statue to Saint Mandela. Got anything against recycling to lower humanity’s whatchamacallit footprint?

[sunrise_sunset]

The problem is these protestors can’t win an election, so they have to resort to street violence. They would lose again today.

The Ukraine may end up splitting in two. If you look at the voting map it seems all to probable.

Are the Other Beatles statues still standing????

There’s going to be civil war in Ukraine.
