Rebels control Kiev
When rebels call rebels rebels its time to take the irony stew off of the stovetop.
Or are rebels rebelling against the rebels not rebels? My head is spinning.
I'm just an outsider, observing from afar as history unfolds in real time. It does seem that the only group that has shown any semblence of ability to organize things themselves and govern are those fighting for independence in Donetsk.
“Rebels control Kiev”
That is a false statement. The people of the Ukraine were represented in the Government of the Ukraine by their elected Deputies in the Ukrainian parliament. President Yanukovych was removed from office by the parliament and its elected Deputies, becuase of the crimes committed by President Yanukovych and the government ministers he appointed.
Although the last Ukrainian constitution required the parliament to follow certain technical procedures to remove President Yanukovych from his office for the crimes he committed and the parliament did not complete those constitutional procedures, it must also be observed that President Yanukovych and his ministers obstructed the implementation of those same procedures using what is likely to also have been unconstitutional and perhaps criminal acts. It is even questoinable whether or not yanukovych was even elected lawfully or that he was lawfully inaugurated into office by unconstitional means. Consequently, it appears that whatever constitutional defects there may or may not have been with respect to how the parliament exercised its sovereign authority and powers in regard to enforcing the laws of the nation may be justified by other constitutional law placing the burden of resolving such issues upon the people’s elected Deputies. Accordingly, it was Yanukovych and his criminal accomplices who are the rebels against the sovereign will of the parliament and the Deputies representing the citizens of the Ukraine.
