All right where is freedom in all of this? Where is support for freedom fighters?
It looks like arm-chair conceived deliberations which have nothing to do with reality…
Please either listen to what THINKING RUSSIANS are saying about Putin’s regime or get a ticket and fly to see it with your own eyes.
I am sorry to say that your philosophy on Russia is wrong.
Soviet Russia wartfare DID NOT change. Crime was “annexed” the same way like Poland after WWII. Check what LUBLIN government sponsored by Moscow was and read more historical sources. NOTHING changed.
Communists were ALWAYS in NATIONALIST costume. Look how did bolsheviks conquered Baltic states, Lithuania or Belorussia and Ukraine VIA NATIONALISTS movment. Kremlin allowed those people identify themselves with national anthem, language and culture inside SOVIET entity.
This pseudo-nationalist movement has nothing to do with patriotic Russian movements…
We'll just have to disagree....I see Putin's moves in Eastern Ukraine simply a matter to safeguard its military manufacturing facilites as they have agreements with other nations for military equipment. No different than protecting it's Naval bases. Neither of which Putin would care to hand over to a EU/US controlled Government.
Ukraine is nothing to do with Freedom, though that is always the battle cry to gain actions from outside nation leaders....who often times facilitate these in order to change the face of the geopolitical landscape. Thus Arab Springs and the like. No different there in Ukraine.
As is always the case, when outside nations come into the fray, it rarely does more than create the chaos we now see in Ukraine....and thus those powers can then work 'above the fray' to establish the changes/control of the Gov. and install leadership desired to "transform" the Gov and nation as it might desire. Which is also currently happening in Ukraine.
Keeping in mind the first week after the coup the seated Prime Minister Yats wasted no time removing Ukraine's gold to US. Part and parcel of the "deal" to assist.
Crimea Voting and celebration considered ILLEGAL???
Keiv's Violent Coup Considered LEGAL????
