If its a fraud, how do you explain the high voter turnout and the long lines? Lots of things about elections can be faked but not the numbers and voter enthusiasm. And in an age when every one can upload video to YouTube, that seems scarcely believable.
The real gag line is Kiev and the West are unwilling to recognize that the Ukraine created in 1991 is now dead. Of course, they could have saved themselves the humiliation by acceding to a federal solution for the country in the first place. Whether Ukraine could still remain a unified country, no one knows.
It’s a hoot to watch you guys front for the Russian Federation here. The guy invades, sends in the goon squads, and that’s okay. It’s KIEV’s fault.
Have you ever seen earthquake coverage from California?
They bring their cameras to the worst damage they can find, and blast it out over the nation. Then people from back east call their family members in a frenzy, just positive the whole state has been leveled. In truth within a block of that where that video was taken, things are just fine.
So you see some footage from a couple of election sites, and are now convinced you know what the full story was. Amazing.
Once again, I point you back to the reports in the Russian press about the Crimean election. Those were supposed to have very high voter turnout too.
Only 30% voted. Of that 30% only a little more than half voted to leave the Ukraine.
15% of the populace having expressed in the affirmative, Crimea was annexed.
Does that sound like a sound reason for Crimea to be annexed?
The Crimeans knew what Russian elections would be like. Why bother to go to the polls? It was a farce.
And now you come here to triumphantly proclaim victory at last for those poor Eastern Ukrainians.
Man, you guys have fallen and you can’t get up...
