Had they waited until the election...which was only a few months away...maybe things would be different.
Now the people...both sides, have been backed into a wall.
Ukraine has not done well by their more than 20 years of independence.
Flame as you will but it's the truth.
Yes. It reminds me of Anschluss.
Hitler wanted Austria, but Austrian chancellor Dolphus refused to merge with Reich. He got killed.
Yanukovich refused to join Sodomite European Reich - so he got ousted and Nazis came to power in Kiev.
Of course they haven’t done well. Until Yanukovych and his cronies abandoned their high government posts, there was no coup, there was a criminal syndicate running Ukraine. Coup is straight from the Russian disinformation program.
Where did the missing $35 to $45 billion dollars go? Here’s one place. Check out his palace then Google his official salary.
Putin is upset because he’s part of the same type of regime running Russia. He has to be concerned the events in Ukraine might give Russians ideas.
Our media either through laziness or complicity is mostly parroting the Russian disinformation as you have done.
Putin wanted to get the Crimea one way or another, Putin also knew that his puppet was going to lose the election so better to kick he table over and shoot out the light.
