I wonder how much of a role Putin had in this Ukraine atrocity. Many Freepers often say what a great guy Putin is...I do NOT think so.

Beware. This is McCainiac type propaganda from the folks who won’t rest until we are at war with Russia. Ukraine’s Prez is popular and legit. I am very suspicious of these “protestors”.
Remember when McCain’s gangster buddies nearly got us into a war over Georgia?

It is now illegal to carry out extremist activities, Well, Cuomo just said "extremists" (those who hold prolife, progun and antigay views) have no place in the state of NY.
Sounds very similar to the Ukrainian dictators.

“There was a show of hands in parliament and an estimate of how many hands were raised. The standard electronic voting system, which creates an official record, was not used.”
Maybe it was “deemed” to have passed, like Pelosi did with Obamacare. And please remind me how legislation is proposed in the EU. It is only proposed by the unelected European Commission. The Euro “parliament” cannot propose legislation. they are a rubberstamp for the EU dictatorship.
The fact is, that EU is not an alternative to people who want to avoid authoritarian unelected rule.

Actions deemed to interfere with the work of courts have been banned. Making remarks of an offensive nature about judges is illegal. It seems unlikely that truth will be a defense.What? Are George Zimmerman's Justice Dept. prosecutors working for Ukraine now?

Everyone wants us to believe that somehow, the lunatic McCain got it right this time. Europe is no friend of the US, or of freedom.
This EU roadshow is nothing buy cynical BS to achieve their goals. And the folks cheering the EU in Ukraine forget, EU was not offering EU membership, or even free travel or immigration to Ukrainians. They don’t like them THAT much.

And the writer might want to check how free you are to speak out in England, Germany, Italy,,etc. In Italy, journalists must speak positively about homosexuality. In England a man was arrested for singing the Kung Fu Fighting song. In Germany there is a list of things that are arrestable for saying,,,,,
But they all get a case of the fainting vapors when Ukraine has a similar law,,,

Europe is no friend of the US, or of freedom. But will gladly use the US military as unpaid mercs for their EU control of Eastern Europe.
This EU roadshow is nothing buy cynical BS to achieve their goals. And the folks cheering the EU in Ukraine forget, EU was not offering EU membership, or even free travel or immigration to Ukrainians. They dont like them THAT much.
But they do like 'em for a captive market and debt serfdom.

Maybe this tyrant needs to read the words to the nations anthem.
"Ukraine is not yet dead, nor it's glory and freedom, Luck will still smile on us brother-Ukrainians. Our enemies will die, as the dew does in the sunshine, And we, too, brothers, we'll live happily in our land. "
If they can outlive Stalin, the Nazis, and the USSR, then this will be a cakewalk.

There is still a heavy Russian presence in the Ukraine, especially in the Eastern half.
