Anybody who didn’t think that Western and Southern Ukraine would go into unrest after the coup in Kiev, simply has no understanding of regional politics.

I stated this would happen on Jim Robinson’s thread about it, the night the government fell.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure this out. Putin is a MACHIAVELLIAN. And he’s been kicking dirt in the wimp Obama’s face at every turn since before Syria.

Western Ukraine is a much a powder keg as Eastern Ukraine but for different reasons. At least that's what I hear from folks with family who live there. From what I hear that's part of the reason the "government" in Kiev stays tight with the Right Sector types and their affiliates.

Like I've said before, I'm amazed Ukraine has stayed in one piece this long.
