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.

Yeah, and then Putin will be "forced" to invade and carve himself a slice in order to "protect" the Russian ethnic minority/majority.

And then some of the FR Borscht Brigade will try to convince us that W. Ukrainians are Muslim.

The opposition wants to cut the east off from its traditional Russian market if Ukraine joins the EU.

That is a sure recipe for continued instability. In an ideal world, Ukraine could join both of the rival trading blocs and every one would be happy.

But since the EU has vetoed it, the turmoil will go on with no real resolution to what amounts to the classic Mexican standoff.

Iexpect the Ukes know where to get weapons, however, and I wouldn’t expect a one -sided fight if it comes to that. It’s probly asking too much to expect Yano to get his head on right and treat people fairly-—bbbbuuuuttttt we have the same problem right here in river city.
