I’m confused. Are we suppose to support these protestors taking over the government or are we suppose to condemn them and only support the protestors in Kiev that took over the government?
I think the official U.S. (Obama) government line is:
Kiev, western Ukraine protesters: good, noble, pure as the wind-driven snow, only seek better government.
Eastern Ukraine protesters: filthy Russian-backed spies, not legitimate, possibly paid, etc, etc.
Depends. Did Ukraine invade and annex a part of Russia?
Just wait til the dust settles......but it does appear this is
similar to Crimea....non-violent and the people planned this so it wouldn’t be and why so many showed up. This has been in the works since Crimea..... Also the police showed no resistance as they knew this was coming and agreement made with them prior.
I am understanding that Kiev has pretty much determined they won’t be fighting much against as the Eu believes Ukraine will be better off without these areas with a large Russian population...thus they can consolidate their power and take Ukraine further with the EU.
