what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
If the west was fine with rioters storming the captial of Kiev, they should be equally fine with rioters storming government buildings in East Ukraine.
Or, does the US only support rioters when the are pro-sodomite?
Either the US supports a peoples right to self determination and freedom or we don’t.
It’s a city of 980,000 people. 1000 protest and this holds massive significance for you? Really?
Wow...
If something similar happened in the US, and a bunch of tire-burning thugs manipulated by others took over DC, I'd want the area I lived in to have the right to vote ourselves out of being governed by the thug government.
In Kiev, those were Ukrainians storming Ukrainian buildings. Here, many are Russian nationals, who are dumb enough to post their exploits on the web. Like this guy.
Or Russian nazis as on the other thread
No goose, no gander
Exactly right!
The script was taken right out of the Anarchists’ playbook. Have a “peaceful” protest, which might attract a large number of participants. Ratchet up the vandalism and violence (it only takes a small fraction of the total crowd to do this), until you provoke a police response. The police response garners you sympathy, and you have larger crowds at your next demonstration. Keep ratcheting up the vandalism and violence until tanks roll on the street. At that point, the U.S., NATO, etc. steps in, and you can overthrow the existing government.
In recent years, that formula worked in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Yemen, and Ukraine. It almost worked in Syria, Algeria and other places. Apparently, it didn’t fool Putin; but, he’s not above imitating the strategy.
