Coming from you - this feels like a praise. I even shed one tear. I will tatoo it now.
Let me double check that: Ukraine gets fucked by russia, Ukraine needs allies and asks to join EU and NATO. IT's OBVIOUSLY NATO and/or EU fault.
Did I get this right?
Don't you think, that its MUCH more logical to look for neighboring company to party, where fucking each other is mutual and most of the time - enjoyable, instead of always getting it in the ass from a neighboring raging muscle pumping gay?
Nope. Ukraine gets fucked over by the U.S and Europe, and again their own politicians, how?
Political groups and oligarchs in Ukraine whom opposed the Yanukovych government and whom wanted to seize power for themselves were manipulated and influenced by external forces, such as the U.S, Poland and other EU members. Had embarked on orchestrating a coup side by side with protesters galvanised by American NGO's like NED, and through the manipulation of the far right in Ukraine to seize power fro themselves and hop on to the EU gravy train.
Once this coup had been successful and the democratically elected government overthrown, the Western puppet now brought to power upon the hands of the far right and Western backed coup government was rewarded with IMF loans, a promise of EU and potentially in the future NATO membership. Poroshenko and his oligarch friends saw the opportunity and took it, they didn't care what their population thought about this, (especially East Ukrainians), they didn't care how much blood was spilled, only that their agenda was fulfilled. This agenda has destabilized East Europe, isolated Russia from Europe in response to Russia attempting to hold on to its genuine geopolitical and national security interests, has justified the continued existence of NATO and has expanded the EU and NATO bloc right up to Russia's border, now leaving Ukraine's Western border almost entirely surrounded by NATO and NATO friendly states.
The actions in Ukraine threaten world security for all of us, have cost the lives of thousands and displaced hundreds of thousands. You can focus on where it has ended, but I still prefer to focus on where it began. Because you can only effectively resolve an issue by first identifying its root causes and not the cancers that grow from those roots.
I genuinely believe the East Ukrainians should be allowed to separate from Ukraine to end the bloodshed. There are swathes of Ukrainian citizens whom for personal, political, ethnic and even historical reasons would prefer to remain under Russian influence and have for their own reasons always seen NATO and the West as an enemy, to deny these peoples a right to self determination is to condemn them to oppressive authoritarianism conducted by the Western puppet Ukrainian government toward a people whom had never elected it into power. Some of you have your own personal, political, ethnic and historical reasons for opposing the Russian Federation and the pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine, but from that viewpoint try to understand people in the opposite camp. (My self not included as I am merely a neutral observer from a nation not directly involved in the situation.)
