There is another useful thread about Ukraine, and I’ve been reading about it for weeks elsewhere. It is not that simple. Protestors in the beginning, and since, were hired by (?) and bussed in. There are merceneries on both sides, agents provacateurs, EU and who knows what funded people on the protestors’ side.
To me it looks like Putin on one side and a conglomeration of dubious to bad influences on the other, are using regular Ukrainians as pawns and now, as cannon fodder. The EU is more commie than Russia.
After Stalin, Mao, and Ho, devils all, “Commie” is a term a bit too strong to be applied to the EU Commissars.
