They are not Western countries.

How many Lutherans, or Roman Catholics...or membership in any of the classic Western institutions are there in Ukraine or Georgia?

While not zero, it's insignificant, I'm sure.

Nor do they have a history in the practice in Classic Western Liberalism or signs of aspirations to build such a history.

All the people of Ukraine or Georgia are fighting for is the right to choose their own despot.

Ukraine has Greek Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and so on and so forth. They are also Democracies, with many competing parties, not dictatorships. It was because of Yanukovych beating and torturing protestors to begin with, which had never occurred before, and his attempt to establish Russian style "democracy," that Ukraine rose up to begin with.

Nor do they have a history in the practice in Classic Western Liberalism or signs of aspirations to build such a history.

The entire Maidan was predicated on the notion of removing Russian influence in Ukraine (i.e. corruption) and practicing classic western liberalism. They have a history of being butchered by the Soviets and a strong National spirit.

Ukraine is fighting to be a western democracy and you oppose that. Ukraine is the result of winning the cold war. Reagan detested your kind.
