Rumors swirled earlier in the day that he had resigned, but in a pre-recorded video interview, the defiant president said: “I am not planning to leave the country. I am the legitimate president and I am not going to resign.”

Just reported on FOX that he was hanging out in the Russian friendly section of the country. Olympics are over tomorrow. Paralympics start next week. Then Russia will get involved

Yes, but he was apparently unsuccessful in doing so.

Heh....maybe the bribe wasn’t big enough. :)

That’s an interesting assertion you’ve made.

How does the impeachment process work in Ukraine?

“I am not planning to leave the country. I am the legitimate president and I am not going to resign.”

There must be a school where they teach all the little tyrants thisn phrase to use just before they flee the country.

Why a new Ukraine is the Kremlin’s worst nightmare: The domino effect of democracy on Russia’s border threatens the entire system Putin has built since 2000 - and he will not let it go lightly

If you think Ukraine is better to be under the failed EU, George Soros, Obama cronies, and every left-wing Free Trader Communist nutjob...

But, hey, the liberal media in this country thinks its OK...so I guess its OK, amirite?

I’m surprised your fellow Commies were that dumb enough to knock down Lenin’s statue....maybe you can loan them your Mao one?

The Soros Brigades are confused, as you can see. It all reminds me of the confusion of the Spanish Civil War. Do they love or hate Putin? They don’t know. They love their guru Alex Jones, that they know.

I’m not familiar with the specific points of Ukranian law Sacajaweau—your post 3 indicates that you are. Perhaps you can fill us in.

My default model in this case is Canada, and as the parliamentary system works here, if the prime minister doesn’t possess the confidence of the house, he is ultimately toast.

It reminds me of the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact when the US Commies were shouting “Hurray Adolph!” for two years until 1941 when Adolph invaded Joe.

Seriously, that’s what ideology and dogma lead to.

Ukraine definitely will be better under Ukrainian government, and not under any Putin communist nut jobs. You missed one of Putin’s talking points that all the young Ukrainian patriots are for queer rights. It sucks to know that most of the world does not give a rat’s behind about what you Russians think, eh, tovarish?

You must be another Pinko Communist....I am sure Obama and Kerry are working on your ambassadorship as we speak

Instead of quoting MSNBC....why don’t you go read some publications outside the liberal US media. You and rubeboy are the most ignorant and subversive folks on here. Only a subversive would push one to join the EU
