Ukraine’s immediate problem is that it is on the edge of economic collapse. To become a normal nation anchored in the global trading system, Ukraine will have to endure decisive and deep economic reforms, including state spending cuts, privatization, and the implementation of a tax system that is simpler and less loophole-ridden.
“The problem is, the people will likely hate the politicians brave and honest enough to implement those reforms,” Semykoz tells me. “We need now a generation of political kamikazes, who, like the protestors on the Maidan are ready to risk their future by doing the right thing today.” It’s not clear whether any such leaders are ready to step forward in Ukraine.

Never did I think that I would get America confused with Ukraine!
Thanks for an informative, and perhaps prophetic, post.
Wow, who’s got the cojones to go on a show in the USA and do the same?
And, so goes America? Where are our heroes?
The main take away from this story is that regimes all over the world are becoming unstable as the economic collapse comes closer to reality.
Media sycophants of a corrupt Marxist regime, stooges supporting elites with Michael Jackson style adulation, a tax system that is corrupt with agents that harass citizens and eat out their substance, as some citizens are getting serious about putting individual rights and freedoms at the center of their political system. Here’s hoping that ….., &…... will now step forward to help these freedom-loving people succeed in their aspirations.
Here’s hoping. Hope & change.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Happy-face Marxism, John Funds?
Excellent article. Which has importance for our own situation here in the US.
The Ukraine leaders experienced something like the Ceausescu Moment.
Are we approaching Obama’s Ceausescu Moment? And the MSM with him? Will we have another Great Awakening in the US. And a cleansing purge with it?
God help the US.
Guess we shall see.

The media... in the celebrity pocket of the 666 mark of the fascism beast.
“It proved unnervingly easy within a matter of months of
Obama’s election to remove most critical analysis, negative reports about those in power, and inconvenient information from television.”
Only changed a word or two...
——only to have dozens of protesters then gunned down by snipers. ——

Here is the video of one such engagement depicitng the very effective sniper fire killing the protesters. They advance an get killed. More come up and are killed. Others come to retrieve the wounded and dead and are shot.
It is 41 minute video of either extreme courage or fool hardy bravery. Perhaps it is both. Theu are dedicated to their cause
Eason Jordan, CNN and Iraq immediately come to mind.........
My wish is that the people of Ukraine are left alone to decide their own course. My fear is that this is a fuse (don;t know whether long or short) on a very big bomb
Those poor protesters had nothing but fire and stones with which to fight their oppressive government, and against heavy odds, they did a masterful job. That is why the last hill to die on in this blessed land is to defend the Second Amendment’s guarantee that it will never be so in America.
