Only the elites love bloodshed, and boy do they ever!!
Actually Russia will liberate eastern Ukraine
Ukraine is/was a rich country, it's people shouldn't be
the poorest in Europe, no?
It's all about natural resources, the people are nothing
but fodder
"Much like in the United States, Ukrainian presidents are appointed and govern in the interest of wealthy oligarchs, so no Ukrainian president ends his tenure with a particularly high rating. The US-backed Yushchenko, however, set a new record for the lowest popular support in history. In the next presidential election, in 2010, Yushchenko got just 5% of the vote, which should give you an insight into how popular he actually was.
During his first term Yushchenko implemented a program of austerity, reduced social spending, bailed out large banks, deregulated agriculture, advocated for NATO membership, and repressed the rights of language minorities like Russian speakers." |
