Deutsche Bank did an analysis of all the former republics and ranked Ukraine #1 in potentialLebensraum. Not going to work, even now.

Soros, the EU, and Juan McCain are aiding and driving the “protestors”. I therefore unquestioningly support the opposing side.

For many years Ukraine was part of Russia and a very valuable part too. Ukraine is rich in iron ore, coal, and other natural resources. Thir agricultural segment exported 38 million tone of grain alone last year.
Putin is trying to re-create the Russian Empire and Ukraine is key to that.

I like Putin but I like freedom more.

No.
Actually you have just outlined Soros’ fantasy.
George Soros thanks you for your work. You are a good little Soros puppet.
Because Ukraine can do everything you mentioned without being shackled to the economically collapsing European Union welfare state.
But go ahead and explain to us your little delusion about how the European Union welfare state isn’t in an unrecoverable death spiral, so connecting to it isn’t stupid and destructive.

Why does Russia not want Ukraine to have independence When did Russia ever want any of their satellites to have independence?
Haven't you heard of the authoritarianism of communists?
Russia is still a communist country. Putin is not a nice man.
