i wouldn't mind western countries clearly distancing themself from those parts of the opposition. a comparison to syria might be farfetched still, but support democratic movements without including fascists factions in the opposition (wahabists et al in the case of syria). | ||

Well, the far right movement did not sign the agreement... That's a distinction already. But even then, in polite company one calls them the far right or right-wing extremists, rather than fascists. The reason for that is the rather peculiar specificity of the term `fascist', which makes it impossible to place them adequately on the right-left axis, as they borrow principles from either side. Furthermore, they generally require totalitarianism as the form of government, something that these groups clearly are not doing, no matter how unpleasant they are. | ||

They've also passed a law that decriminalizes actions for which Yulia Tymoshenko has been convicted, though it still should be signed by Yanukovich to come in force. Speaking of Tymoshenko, is she still very popular in Ukraine? She and the whole "orange revolution" crew seems to be very unreliable. I hope Ukrainians will choose better leaders this time. | ||

No wonder you hold such views zeo Yawn, I guess its easier to ad hominem and argue a fallacy fallacy than actually contribute anything. Pages and pages of personal attacks and mumbling 'conspiracy theory' at anything you people don't like, only shows how little substance you people have. | ||

And what do you contribute to the thread besides your hatred for the protesters and endless assumptions? P.S. Ukraine has won it's first gold medal on Winter Olympics in 20 years. | ||

I hope Ukrainians will choose better leaders this time. After what regime of Yanukovich has done to her she would be most useful for bringing it down. Especially in making sure that everyone who was part of that incredibly corrupt government is held responsible. In situations like this one there is always a threat that the responsibility for the crimes of the past will be bought out. | ||

They published information that some politics are trying to organize the separatist movements and were holding negotiations with the representatives of other countries. They also said they are looking into it and would be reacting to neuralize the threats for the integrity of the country. ah the hypocrisy. you know people are doing fishy bullshit when they use term like "the integrity of the country". Its like Russia condemning the EU sanctions as blackmail while offering billions of dollars if the government beats down the protesters.... | ||

Maybe it wouldn't be the worst idea to give some of the eastern regions the possibility to secede and join Russia via a referendum or something similar to create a country where the majority of people actually have similar political interests. It might be hard to end a marriage but sometimes a divorce is the only healthy option for all involved (#FreeScotland). | ||

So those lines are directed towards the Eastern Ukraine and Crimea who have been threatening to break away from Ukraine if the "extremists" win. | ||

Well this is why keeping Yanukovich as a puppet President is actually a smart thing to do. | ||
