FWIW, when I asked the Kiev crowd that, they said yes. I would say no. I believe that people have an absolute right to vote themselves free of a government, as long as they have a plan for the future.
What if it's southern CA and AZ? If they get so hispanic that that's what they want, good riddance!
Ukraine is a coup gov with all of its support coming from the west. Of couse eastern Ukraine should have the right to set their own path. They aren't attacking outside their regions, they're defending from aggression by their supposed countrymen. Kiev bombing those who want to be free of Kiev with loans supplied to them by the EU/US and with surveillance from the US is disgusting.
(You pro-Kiev posters....this post should keep you busy for awhile!)
While people are throwing childish insults around at each other, Kiev did a MAJOR escalation today, firing BALLISTIC MISSILES at rebel-held cities. Namely Scarab-B’s.
When Saddam did it, it was considered a MAJOR WAR CRIME.
