“Force the serfs to follow the law by breaking it?”
How was the Ukrainian constitution broken? Please be specific.
“There was NOTHING constitutional about the Euromaiden Revolution.”
They were peaceful protests that began in November, 2013, against Yanukovych. He was seen as corrupt and had gone against the will of the people and the parliament when he backed out of an agreement that would have integrated Ukraine more closely with the EU, and he instead said he would bring Ukraine into closer alignment with Russia.
The protests continued into 2014, and Yanukovych began cracking down on the demonstrators. That brought about the so-called Revolution of Dignity. In January, 2014 Yanukovych turned more oppressive and instituted repressive laws against protest and restricting free speech and other civil liberties. On January 22, 2014 government security forces killed protestors in Kyiv. These assaults continued into February.
Parliament confronted Yanukovych and demanded he abide by the will of the people and of parliament. Instead, Yanukovych beat feet back to Russia, abandoning his office, the presidency.
Subsequent to Yanukovych fleeing, Parliament voted to remove him from office for abandonment, and to hold new elections. In late May, 2014 Ukrainians elected Petro Poroshenko as president. Five months later, new elections were held and a new government was seated in December.
So, what occurred during this time? For one, Russia invaded Crimea on February 20, 2014, about the same time Yanukovych fled to Russia. A few weeks later Russia illegally annexed Crimea. Of course, during this period Russia was a busy little beaver stirring up unrest and revolution in eastern Ukraine.
Ukrainian Constitution is meaningless regarding the right of her former constituents to secession. The former is based on the universal civil right to self-determination. It was the US position regarding Kosovo independence. The same is going to apply to the US Southwest once it is ready to return to Mexico.
