That both sides have reasons for wanting the ukraine on their side , most of which are selfish on both sides , but that ultimately the problem in the ukraine has very little to do with the sides , and more to do with the ukrainian goverment making a very different choice from the one that the people want , after having made several of those kinds of choices.

Considering russias history with the ukraine you might want to change your opinion :eyebrow:


Considering Germany's history with Ukraine... it's really not hard to find problems in European history for anyone worth their salt as a historian, and the "hurr durr Russia bad" crap is getting old. Russia offered the government a better deal than the EU, the government took it. Sometimes the simplest explanations are the best. But hey, maybe Russia should take a page out of your playbook, next time EU and China provide Russia with competing offers, eh? Fuck the EU's offer, because after all, considering Germany's history with Russia... France's history with Russia... UK's history with Russia... shall I keep going?

If i remember correctly the ukrainians were willing to work with the nazis in order to defeat the russians untill the nazis started killing the ukrainians ,the russians oppressed the ukrianians during the sovyet era and before that .this isnt BIG BAD RUSSIA this is one nation having a bad history with russia.

No, it really isn't. It's a supranational government; it has right-wingers and left-wingers, and the most you could say about it is that it's economically centre-left.

Meanwhile, Russian protectionism is of course the finest example of TruFreedom and Capitalismtm.

1) I do not support free trade I am a Fascist. 2) Russia is more fiscally sound than the EU anyway.

1) You understand that Russia is acting more left-wing than the EU on this issue, right?
I mean, that's not necessarily a bad thing- but you do get that, right?
2) Source?

There all part of the problem here, the elitist's in Brussels want soviet style collective identity while discouraging nationalism which is a terrible thing for any nation. Meanwhile they still support globalized economics merely to spread foreign influence and keep the liberal elite in power and the everyday people's of Europe in check.
