    Default Re: Ukraine conflict episode 2 Putin´s Empire strikes back

    I think that once again you misunderstood. The Maidaners as you qualified them were not all Nazi, but were for better wages, against corruption etc. It was initially a social movement. However, the storming of the Parliament and the expulsion of an elected President and others was organised by the Nazi, proudly standing up in front of the building with the base-ball bats...

    "And speaking of your good guys": About Putin, once again you are mistaken. Putin is probably closer to your political point, as nationalist (by the way, second link doesn't work) and political control. I am a lefty, Putin not, even if US and EU media replays the Cold war (especially the Bear still qualified as bombers ).

    My all point is: Putin is doing what NATO is now doing for years, so I don't see the point of fake indignation from NATO's members. The Ukrainian's Russians are doing what the Ukrainian Nationalists/Nazi did in Maiden, so what the point of the fake indignation?

    As my thinking process about it, I made it clear: Annexation of someone else territory is bad. Military intervention in someone else territory is bad. I am a leftist, so less borders better is for me. I don't like nationalism, Russian or Ukrainian.
    Now, this crisis wouldn't have existed if the Coup would have not happened, but it did happened. Except if you want a war in a territory where a Nuclear Plant named Chernobyl is actually built, you have to find a political solution, and this solution will be a Bosnianisation (cantonisation) of Ukraine, contrary of what think your american expert in the alleged Putin's plan. It doesn't work really in Bosnia, but better a bad peace than a good war, war that no one can win any way, except to agree with casualties European and USA don't want to heard about.

    "You did, sarge", said Polly." You said you were in few last stands."
