Sadly, yes.
The reason that the Ukrainian government won't take the gloves off is because they know that US/NATO will use it as excuse to do the same thing they did to Libya, Syria, and Serbia.
And Serbia, Kosovo.
The Ukrainians know that the US/NATO is funding the protestors like it funded the "protestors" in Libya and Syria. They saw what happened to the Libya and Syria when they fought back against the "protestors".
Again, sadly yes.
On the other hand, George Soros stands to make billions.
From Ukrainian debt slaves.
I swear, for all the he-man Vladimir Putin is made out to be, Russkies suffer from penis-envy if you mention Soros.
