Those aligned to Europe want independence from Russia.
Those aligned to Russia reject EU countries' involvement in NATO wars as well as Goldman Sachs' control of many EU country treasuries. The dissolution of the
Soviet Union and separation of the Ukraine from Russia was coordinated by the CIA and its former director G H W Bush's deliberate destabilization. Several Harvard
economists including Jeffrey Sachs were indicted but went scotfree.

Picture perfect.

Look at that beautiful castle on the coast, people walking and enjoying the sun, girls in shorts getting tanned on a day out. A picture perfect scene that we have all enjoyed some time or other.

It won't be long before its photographed on a grey day, with smoke billowing from its destroyed walls, "protesters" standing behind barricades surrounded by police bearing arms, western MSM media claiming to be "independents" making money selling the pictures to US and UK media corporations.

Poor Ukraine.

And Venezuela next too.

And all because the nationalists claim they want Democracy, in a nation that is already a Democracy!

I hope Brits are watching all this, and coming to understand what a lamentable thing nationalism really is.

If it goes too far, there will be a big war.

Mark my words.

"Those aligned to Europe want independence from Russia.

Simplistic analysis - doesn't mention that many people are in the streets in reaction to police repression and brutality, as well as many other reasons. Also doesn't mention the many factions and conflicts within the street movements. One place to get a more indepth analysis are the articles on tahriricn, for example:
