Eastern Ukrainian cities voted to inch closer Moscow and further from Kiev on Sunday, following in the controversial wake of Crimea, a Black Sea peninsula formerly part of Ukraine.
Between 94% and 98% of eligible voters in Ukraine’s eastern provinces of Luhansk and Donetsk both voted for greater autonomy from Kiev, the head of the region’s Central Election Committee said on Monday.

Okay, then what was your take on it?
Why do you think that was wrong?
I posted a correction, and your mischaracterization TCRLaf’s actions is a hoot. You jokers are a riot.
He said no such thing.
He just LOLed.
I suppose he was laughing with you, not AT you, Doughty, but we'll have to ask McGruff that...
WTH? Is that some sort of DoughtyBonics?
How's about a translation, eh?
I am just asking you for your opinion on their legitimacy.
Secondly, why should the U.S. have anything to do with the Kiev gov’t if they are going to tolerate this political party and not throw them out? The commies were recently tossed from the parliament. Being a commie makes them illegitimate, just like Svoboda is illegitimate.
They could toss Svoboda for being anti-Semitic if they wanted to. But I guess commies talking about secession is worse than being anti-Semitic.
Do you think that Obama/White House should be able to decide which coups are (Ukraine) or aren't (Egypt) legitimate?
Yep, he sure knows how to pick em! Just like others do, too...
In summation, the only correct position on this is for you, me and evryone else to not root for either side in Ukraine.
You can stay behind after class and do the erasers.
If it’s over your head, that’s okay.
Thanx for posting that in English, BTW... LOL! :)
lol..
Whatever...
Coup...
Nazi’s...
I am just asking you for your opinion on their legitimacy. This is what I stated. LINK

You are now asking a question once removed, concerning an entity I already told you I was unfamiliar with.

The commies were siding with Russia, trying to break away portions of the Ukraine. That seems treasonous. I"m not sure why this would not register with you.
...just like Svoboda is illegitimate.
Perhaps so, but I don't know that right now.
They could toss Svoboda for being anti-Semitic if they wanted to.
Perhaps so, but I don't know what Svoboda is actually like, so I can't agree or disagree.
But I guess commies talking about secession is worse than being anti-Semitic.
Treasons generally trumps just about anything as nations go.
Do you think that Obama/White House should be able to decide which coups are (Ukraine) or aren't (Egypt) legitimate?'
I don't consider what took place in the Ukraine to be a coup. Your cabinet losing confidence and resigning is not a coup. It's merely a mass resignation due to a lack of confidence.
This happens in other nations too. It's not a coup.
If the Ukraine were doing in reverse what Russia is doing, I would be siding with Russia.
This isn’t even a close call for me.
That's the nature of defending a nation's sovereign territory. Enemy troops have to be killed, preferably in large enough numbers to convince them that the cost is greater than the benefit. In the run-up to the Winter War, the Finns ended up killing over 100K Russian troops and allying with Hitler to keep the Russians out. We allied with the mass-murdering Russians during WWII, so perhaps helping Ukraine keep the Russian empire at bay via material aid is our chance to atone for our sins of commission back then. However, until Ukraine shows it's got the fighting spirit to whittle the Red Army down, aid should only be cautiously doled out, lest it be handed to the Russians in an ensuing surrender.
He's kicking his own @ss... LOL! :)
“If the Ukraine were doing in reverse what Russia is doing, I would be siding with Russia.”
Russia is REACTING to events created by none other than BARACK OBAMA, and the US State department.
That they have out-thought, and out-maneuvered, the radical academics in the White House should came as no surprise to anyone that has been paying attention for a while.
Your blame should be directed at Obama for creating the situation, in reaction to getting spanked over Syria.
I knew you were a closet Putinista.
LOL Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyy...
The Ukraine has a right to choose to go any way it likes. Not Obama, or Putin or anyone else should be telling it what to do. U. S. troops were not brought in. E. U. troops were not brought in.
The E. U. and Russia each lobbied to get their way.
I don’t see it evil if Russia wanted to lobby to win. Where I do find it evil is when it calls in troops and annexes Ukrainian soil.
“U. S. troops were not brought in. E. U. troops were not brought in.”
But U.S. MONEY, funneled though USAid, the Omidyar Networks, and the Soros Renaisance NGO’s was, and it was used to overthrow an elected government.
Don’t UKRAINIANS that opposed that action have rights, as well?
